WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small data file that is sent to the browser that a Visitor is using at the time of the Visitor’s visit to a website. Cookies are used to serve as an identifier, to navigate through a website, and to enable certain features of the website.

Cookies can last only for the duration of a session (session cookies) or for several days, months, or years (persistent cookies). They can be sent by a website (first party cookie) or by or on behalf of another entity (third-party cookies).

The following sections explain the different categories of cookies

SESSION COOKIES AND PERSISTENT COOKIES

There are session cookies and persistent cookies.

• A session cookie is deleted from a Visitor’s browser when the Visitor disconnects from or leaves a website or closes down his browser.
• A persistent cookie is not deleted. It remains associated with the browser, so that that browser may use it on subsequent visits to the website.

FIRST PARTY COOKIES AND THIRD PARTY COOKIES

There are first party cookies and third party cookies

• A first party cookie is generated by the owner or operator of a website for its own use.
• A third party cookie is generated by an entity other than the owner or operator of a website, for the benefit of the owner or operator of a website. A third party cookie may be generated while a Visitor visits a website, or clicks on an advertisement that is managed by the third party for the benefit of a website owner.

COOKIES ARE BROWSER SPECIFIC

Cookies are browser specific. This means that a cookie is attached to, and stored in, a specific browser. For example, if you use either Firefox or Explorer to visit the same website, you may have some cookies stored in your Firefox files and other cookies stored in your Explorer file. Each of these cookies may have a different identification number. Even though these cookies may have been initiated by the same website, or the same entity, they are independent of each other. Any action you take – such as deleting one cookie in a particular browser – will not affect the similar cookie that might be attached to or stored with another browser. That similar cookie will remain in effect unless and until you delete that cookie in that other browser file.

WHAT ARE TAGS?

Tags or “clear GIFs” or “web beacons” are transparent electronic images that are placed into the code of a website, an advertisement, an email, or a newsletter. IPR Holdings, Inc  provides the coding for the IPR Holdings, Inc tags to its Customer, and each Customer installs the tags in the code of those pages of its website, advertisement, or email, for which it wishes to keep statistics.

Tags allow counting the number of individual visitors who visit or interact with a particular page of a website. They are used in combination with cookies to collect data. If you have prevented IPR Holdings, Inc from placing a cookie on your browser, or if you have deleted the IPR Holdings, Inc cookie, the Marin tag located on a Customer website cannot transmit information about your visit to that Customer website.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at https://consumercal.org/about-cfc/cfc-education-foundation/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa-3/

According to CALOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our homepage, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy,’ and can be easily be found on the page specified above.
Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:

• On our Privacy Policy Page

Users are able to change their personal information:

• By emailing us at info@studentdebtrelief.us

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the national consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email

• Within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

Student Debt Relief Loan Refinancing Advertiser Disclosure

Student loan offers that appear on this site are from companies or affiliates from which Student Debt Relief may receive compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including for example, the order in which they appear or whether a student loan provider or loan consolidation company is “featured” on the site). Student Debt Relief does not include all student loan companies or all types of offers available in the marketplace.

Pursuant to the contracts between Student Debt Relief and the Partners or affiliates on its Network, Student Debt Relief may also receive information from the Partner or affiliate regarding the status of your application including, but not limited to, the amount or disposition of your loan. Information specific to the Partner/affiliate’s use of your information will be found in their specific Privacy Policy.

Potential savings may vary based on the interest rates, balances and remaining repayment term of the loans you are seeking to refinance. Your overall repayment amount may be higher than the loans you are refinancing even if your monthly payments are lower. Variable rate options will fluctuate over the term of your loan with changes in the LIBOR (or other index utilized by the lender) rate and will vary based on applicable terms and presence of a cosigner. Fixed interest rates may be based on applicable terms and presence of a co-signer. Additional terms and conditions, and rates are subject to change at any time without notice and may not be available in all states or for all types of current student loans. Such changes should only apply to applications taken after the effective date of change. Please note: Due to federal regulations, Lenders are required to provide every potential borrower with disclosure information before they apply for a private student loan. The Lender you select is required to provide you with an Application Disclosure and an Approval Disclosure within the application process before you accept the terms and conditions of your loan. Student Debt Relief is not a lender or creditor, it does not offer, extend or alter credit terms. Only participating lenders can perform the full application and deliver the required disclosures, please ask your lender about rates, terms, fees, and potential discounts that may be available for each product.

Please be advised:

1. Certain federal and private student loans may not be eligible for consolidation/refinance.
2. Certain consolidation/refinance plans may result in higher monthly payments or negative consequences (i.e. prepayment penalties).
3. Consolidation/refinance may lead to other negative results, such as loss of grace periods.
4. Loans in default generally cannot be consolidated until completion of a repayment trial plan so tell your lender if you are in default and determine relevant options (be wary of those asking for upfront fees as well)
5. Other options or programs may fit your needs (i.e. personal loan, debt consolidation and/or debt relief). Consult your financial and/or tax advisor prior to making any decisions.

Student Debt Relief is not a creditor as it does not offer, extend or alter credit; rather it is an online market lead generator that allows consumers to shop and compare rates, terms and costs associated with financial products such as mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, etc. Student Debt Relief does not originate or fund any product it markets; rather it has a network of lenders or Partners/affiliates. You may choose to speak with one or more of these lenders or Partners/affiliates to determine what your actual terms and savings may be. Only a lender can provide you with a formal application for credit, your inquiry form here is merely an expression of interest and/or intent to obtain credit or assistance. You must discuss your actual credit situation and fill out the lender’s required documents prior to obtaining an extension of credit. Network lenders may not have the best or the lowest rates, so you are encouraged to continue to shop and compare additional lenders, credit unions, local financial institutions, etc., to ensure you are truly getting your best deal for your situation.

You should contact your tax professional or other financial advisors to determine if you can actually realize savings by refinancing when it can extend the life of your current loan. You should ask the lender about all terms, rates, fees and costs associated with each product and if you will realize a net tangible benefit from the same. All initial estimated savings are determined by trying to calculate what your rate may be; however, Student Debt Relief does not have that information and cannot guarantee potential savings or that lenders will approve you for such product that would warrant those savings. Rates are not guaranteed and change daily. Lenders/Brokers/Dealers/Partners that perform the actual underwriting will have to determine if you meet their underwriting criteria which is unknown to Student Debt Relief at the time of matching/offer/quote delivery. All amounts are estimates and examples only and do not represent an actual offer.

Free Referral Services

The offers that you are matched up with are from companies or people that we may receive compensation from. Based on our initial review of such companies or individuals, we feel comfortable introducing them to you. We won’t recommend something just because we’re offered payment to endorse or promote it. However, we do recommend that you shop around and compare services and costs with other companies while performing you own due diligence, especially since people’s experiences with companies can change over time.

We may be compensated for the following:

• Referrals to consumers who use the online form or locator line that may provide expert answers to questions;
• Marketing tax resolution, credit correction, student loan, consumer law services such as FDCPA and bankruptcy assistance;
• Ads served through companies such as Google (We don’t totally control all of the specific ads that appear on our site);
• Referrals to services that help consumers with tax resolution, credit correction, student loan, consumer law services such as FDCPA and bankruptcy assistance and that may negotiate settlements on their debts.

We are not attorneys and we don’t provide legal advice. As always, we encourage you to do your homework and check out individuals and companies before you hire them. If you are already working with an attorney, we urge you to ask them your questions. After all, they will be familiar with your situation and the laws in your state.

This website is intended for informational purposes and as a reference tool to match consumers with companies that may be able to assist them.
