We respect the privacy of your personal information. This California Privacy Policy is designed to help you, as a California resident, in understanding how we collect, use, disclose, share, and retain personal information from consumers. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies to businesses that collect the personal information from California residents, and the CCPA requires these businesses to provide notices regarding their data collection and their practices related to sharing this data. In addition, the CCPA provides California residents the right to make certain requests with respect to their data.
For purposes of this California Privacy Policy, the words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to DebtBlue, LLC, and the terms “you” and “your” refer to California residents who are customers of DebtBlue, LLC. The specific personal information that we collect, use, and disclose relating to a California resident covered by the CCPA will vary based on our relationship or interaction with that individual. For example, this California Privacy Policy does not apply with respect to personal information that we collect about California residents in connection with providing our financial products and services for personal, family, or household purposes (i.e., information subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)).

Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to:
Request that a business delete any personal information about the consumer which the business has collected from the consumer.
Request that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose to the consumer, free of charge, the following:– The categories of personal information that it has collected about that consumer. The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
– The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.
– The categories of third parties with whom the business shares personal information.

Request that a business that sells the consumer’s personal information, or that discloses it for a business purpose, disclose to the consumer, free of charge, the following:
– The categories of personal information that the business collected about the consumer.
– The categories of personal information that the business sold about the consumer and the categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold, by category or categories of personal information for each third party to whom the personal information was sold.

Direct a business that sells personal information about the consumer to third parties not to sell the consumer’s personal information.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties or disclose your personal information to third parties for a business purpose. To exercise any of your other rights above, you may contact us by calling us toll-free at 1-855-332-8258 or by emailing us at compliance@debtblue.com. We may request up to three pieces of personal information about you when you make a request to verify your identity. Only you, or an authorized agent acting on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. To use an authorized agent to submit a request to us, you must (i) provide the authorized agent signed permission to make a request on your behalf; (ii) verify your identity with us; and (iii) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
You have the right not to be discriminated against for your exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. We will not discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercises any of the consumer’s rights as described in this California Privacy Policy. However, we reserve the right to limit these rights where permitted under applicable law, including where your identity cannot be reasonably verified, to the extent your rights adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, or where the CCPA allows us an exemption, such as when we are required to comply with federal, state, or local laws.
We will verify your consumer request by comparing the information you provide to us against our records, which may include requesting that you provide us with your name, address, and phone number.
