Understanding Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Tracking Technologies

We, or our service providers, and other companies we work with may deploy and use cookies, web beacons, local shared objects and other tracking technologies for various purposes, such as fraud prevention and monitoring our advertising and marketing campaign performance. Some of these tracking tools may detect characteristics or settings of the specific device you use to access our online services.

Cookies or browser cookies are small amounts of data a website can send to a visitor’s web browser. They are often stored on the device you are using to help track your areas of interest. Cookies may also enable us or our service providers and other companies we work with to relate your use of our online services over time to customize your experience. Most web browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to decline or delete cookies but doing so may degrade your experience with our online services.

Clear GIFs, pixel tags, single pixel-gifs or web beacons (which are typically one-pixel, transparent images located on a webpage or in an email or other message) or similar technologies may be used on our sites and in some of our digital communications (such as email or other marketing messages). They may also be used when you are served advertisements, or you otherwise interact with advertisements outside of our online services. These are principally used to help recognize users, assess traffic patterns, and measure site or campaign engagement.

Local Shared Objects, sometimes referred to as “flash cookies” may be stored on your hard drive using a media player or other software installed on your device. Local Shared Objects are similar to cookies in terms of their operation but may not be managed in your browser in the same way.

(We do not collect personal information automatically but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.)

Do Not Track

Many web browsers possess a do-not-track feature that lets your browser tell websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activities tracked.

Linking to Third-Party Websites

Libertas may provide links to websites that are owned or operated by other companies (“third party websites”). When you use a link online to visit a third-party website, you will be subject to that website’s privacy and security practices, which may be different from ours. We expressly disclaim any responsibility and/or liability for all content made available to you on third-party websites. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy and terms and conditions of any website you visit. You should familiarize yourself with the privacy notice/policy, terms of use and security practices of the linked third-party website before providing any information on that website.

Data Security

Libertas takes the security of your information very seriously. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Your information is securely sent to Libertas with 256 bit-encryption over the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This creates an encrypted connection between your browser and our servers. When you enter personal information (such as your Social Security Number or bank account number), we encrypt the transmission of that information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your per sonal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate personal information (such as your Social Security number or account number) to us.

Accessing/Updating/ Correcting Your Information

Keeping your account information up-to-date is very important. You may be able to review or update certain account information by logging in and accessing our Online Portal. If you cannot change the incorrect information online, or if you prefer to request changes offline, please call us at 1-800-704-8675 or email us at Customer.service@libertasfunding.com.

Changes to this Online Privacy Policy

Libertas reserves the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will post the updated Policy on the Website and update the Policy effective date. Any changes to this Online Privacy Policy will become effective when posted unless indicated otherwise. Your continued use of our Website or products or services offered by us or through us following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
