Privacy Policy

ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions is committed to assuring the privacy of individuals and/or families who have contacted us for assistance. We assure you that all information shared both orally and in writing will be managed within legal and ethical considerations. Your "personal financial information", such as your total debt information, income, living expenses and personal information concerning your financial circumstances will be provided to creditors and, possibly others with your specific authorization.

We may also use aggregated case file information for the purpose of evaluating our services, gathering valuable research information and designing future programs. Your anonymity will be maintained through the use of your client number or by using aggregate data in all circumstances.

In all other situations, your information may be released to appropriate individuals or agencies only upon your written request or when our staff has been served a valid subpoena.

The following PRIVACY PRACTICES detail circumstances under which we will release your information to a third party:

1. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our clients or former clients to anyone, except as permitted by law.

We carefully select and monitor outside service providers, such as mail vendors, who have access to your nonpublic personal information, and we require them to keep it safe and secure. We do not allow them to use or share the information for any purpose other than the job they are hired to do.
