Fresh Start America Privacy Policy
Welcome to the Fresh Start America™ Website, available at www.FreshStartAmerica.org (this “Website”). This Website is owned and operated by Fresh Start America. This statement discloses the privacy practices and notices (“Policy”) for the FreshStartAmerica.org Website and describes how we collect, protect and use information we receive from visitors to our Website. Fresh Start America has created this Privacy Statement to demonstrate and inform you of our firm commitment to privacy.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
There are two kinds of information web Websites can obtain about you:
Anonymous Information:
Anonymous Information is aggregate data that Websites use to administer their Websites. It may include such information as your browser type or your Internet Protocol (IP) address. Fresh Start America may from time to time retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate Website customer information.
IP Addresses – An IP address is unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Website, to gather broad demographic information and also to help in identifying click fraud or identity fraud.
Cookie Information – As is the case with virtually all Websites, our Website uses a technology called “cookies”, which are small data files that are downloaded onto your browser. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and allows us to tailor your visits to our Website to your individual preferences. We may also contract with third party service providers who assign cookies to conduct Website tracking for us. These companies use cookies solely to provide us with aggregate data about visitor traffic behavior patterns. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your browser to prevent cookies or alert you whenever you are sent a cookie.
Personally Identifiable Information:
Personally Identifiable Information is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or your telephone number. Sometimes this personal information is needed when you register to obtain a consultation through the FreshStartAmerica.org website, subscribe to our email newsletter, or when you contact us. We may ask you to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our Website. In particular, you may be asked to provide the following information:
Registration/Consultation Forms – When you complete a consultation form on this Website, you may be asked to provide personal and basic financial information such as your name, phone number, e-mail address, income, expenses and other financial information depending upon the service you are requesting a consultation for. This information is then forwarded to professionals who can provide these services to you. Your information is made available only after you click on the “Submit” button typically located at the bottom of a website form. By submitting your information to Fresh Start America you are giving permission to be contacted by a service provider. These service providers may contact you directly via phone, e-mail or other communications, REGARDLESS OF YOUR STATUS ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST (DNC).
HOW WE USE COLLECTED INFORMATION
The information you share with us may be used in a few ways:
Anonymous Information:
Anonymous Information is used internally for Website administration, troubleshooting and to help improve the quality of the web pages. We may share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics, with existing and prospective business partners and advertisers.
Personally Identifiable Information:
Personally Identifiable information collected by Fresh Start America may be used for purposes including administration of the Website, providing a referral to a 3rd party and communications with you. In all cases, however, we will use your information only as permitted by law. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process; (b) protect and defend our rights and property; (c) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website; or (d) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

SECURITY
This Website incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy, and privacy of the personal information we have collected. We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse, and alteration, including database encryption. While we use Database encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide. Security of information communicated by or to us over the Internet is of utmost concern to us; however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that your email, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us.

While we strive to protect your personal information, Fresh Start America cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through our Website, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems.

DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION THROUGH BUSINESS TRANSFERS
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer data. In such transactions, customer data may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the unlikely event that a portion or substantially all of Fresh Start America’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information (including your email address) would likely be one of the transferred business assets.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” as anyone under the age of 13.
