MyGovernmentResources.com privacy policy

Updated 06/15/2006

Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted to us on the MyGovernmentResources.com website.

The Information We Collect

When you fill out a form requesting assistance with applying for and/or obtaining financial assistance, we collect contact information including your name, address, email address and phone number, as well as information about your personal and financial situation.

The Way We Use Information

When you fill out an inquiry form we will forward your information to one or more third party companies or organizations who offer products or services we feel may be of interest to you. These may include, but are not limited to, assistance in applying for government grants and loans, writing business plans, debt consolidation, refinance, loans, or other financial products and services. MyGovernmentResources provides only a referral service to these sources and does not sell any products or services. These third parties may contact you by telephone, email, or mail based on the information you provided to us in order to process and fulfill your request, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission, any state equivalent Do Not Call List, or the Do Not Call List of an internal company. If one of the lenders contacts you by telephone and you wish not to be contacted again by that lender with respect to your inquiry, then you should specifically make a request to that lender not to contact you again.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals. We may also partner with third parties to track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and site navigation through the use of cookies, which do not contain and are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Third party links and web sites

Certain advertising links on our site will lead you to third party sites. Any personal information you supply to a web site operated by a third party is governed by the privacy policy of that particular site.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.

How You Can Opt Out

If you have consented to have your information transferred to a third party and wish to opt out of future solicitations from that company, contact that third party directly.

To opt out of newsletters or alerts you receive from CompareSmart.com, just click the link at the bottom of the message and follow the instructions to opt-out.
