When you access another web site, access the Service with a third-party account (like Facebook or Twitter), or purchase third-party products or services through the Service, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. We encourage you to note when you leave our Service and to read the privacy policies and terms of service of all third party web sites or applications before submitting any personal information to third parties.

Disclosure & Sharing of Information
cardchargesearch.com may share information you have provided during use of our Services under the following circumstances:
When you use our Services to obtain offers for financial products and services, you direct us to provide our partners with your credit data and other relevant information you provide as a way to match you with offers for financial products and services from those partners. Generally, we will display these offers when you access our web or mobile Services, but we will occasionally send you information on products, services, special deals, or promotions, by email or other electronic messaging. It is always your choice whether or not to apply for an offered product or service and we will never submit an application for a financial product or service on your behalf without your express consent.
If you are interested in pursuing an offer for a financial product or service or a co-branded service, you will need to submit information directly to the partner that provides such product or service. For example, if you are interested in a credit card offer, you will be taken to a third-party site to apply for that credit card. When you are asked to provide information to a third party in connection with such offers or co-branded services, you may be providing your information to both us and our partner. We will treat information we collect in connection with a particular offer or co-branded service in accordance with this Privacy Policy but we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. For more information, see Other Sites.
When cardchargesearch.com shares information about you with third-party partners, some of those partners may also perform a soft inquiry or promotional inquiry on your credit file based on the information cardchargesearch.com shares with them. These inquiries will not affect your credit. However, if you apply for a line of credit or a loan directly with one or more of our lending partners, those lenders may make a hard credit inquiry of your credit file before approving your application.
The Services may permit you to submit ideas, questions, comments, suggestions or other content, including personal information (collectively, "User Content"), that is publicly viewable (such as the public portions of your user profile or comments you post on our publicly accessible blog). We or others may reproduce, publish, distribute or otherwise use User Content online or offline in any media or format (currently existing or hereafter developed). Third parties may have access to this User Content and may have the ability to share it further with third parties across the Internet. Please think carefully before deciding what information you share, including Personal Information, in connection with your User Content. cardchargesearch.com does not control who will have access to the information that you choose to make public, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy or keep it secure. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you disclose publicly or share with others, whether through the Service or otherwise.
We may use third-party service providers or vendors to support or perform certain aspects of the Service or our business on our or your behalf, such as hosting the Service, designing or operating the Service's features, tracking the Service's analytics, providing data used, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Service, marketing or advertising the Service, enabling cardchargesearch.com to contact you with offers or performing other administrative services. We may provide these third-party service providers or vendors with access to user information, including personal information, in connection with the services they are performing for you or for us. In connection with our Services, these third-party service providers or vendors may also set and access their own cookies, web beacons and embedded scripts on your device, and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you.
When we may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (each a "Promotion") through the Services or through social media or other channels. By participating in a Promotion, you are agreeing to official rules that govern that Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including allowing the sponsor of the Promotion to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing associated with the Promotion.
While responding to subpoenas, court orders, legal processes, establishing or exercising our legal rights, or defending against legal claims if in our good faith opinion such action is required or permitted by law.
When we believe it is necessary to share information with law enforcement, government authorities or private parties to (a) protect our, your, or others' rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims); (b) enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Service; or (c) protect, investigate, and deter against fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.
After we have removed your name or any other personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with other people's data in a way that it is no longer associated with you.
We may share and transfer personal information with acquirers and other relevant participants in business transactions (or potential transactions) involving a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the business or assets of, or equity interests in, cardchargesearch.com or our affiliates (including, in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings).
Advertisements
cardchargesearch.com and its service providers and advertising partners display targeted advertisements, which are based upon personal information. We may allow others to "sponsor" some of your account activities, such as reviews, recommendations, status updates, and posts regarding "deals," in order to increase the likelihood that others see them. For example, if you apply for a new credit card, the respective credit card company may want to make sure that people who follow you see it so they can apply for it too. If content is sponsored, it will appear accompanied by the word "Sponsored" or something similar. Only people that could originally see the information can see the sponsored post, and no personal information about you (or your friends) is shared with the sponsor.
We may work with third-party advertising networks, marketing partners, publishers and other entities ("Advertising Partners") to perform analytics and advertise our products and services on other online services not affiliated with us. In connection with these advertising services, we or our Advertising Partners, like Google, may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect behavioral information about how you use our site or other online services over time in order to perform tracking and marketing analytics or serve advertisements that are more likely to be of interest to you ("Interest-Based Advertisements").
Online Tracking Choices
There are a number of ways to opt out of having your online activity and device data collected for Interest-Based Advertisements, which we have summarized below. Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt out on every browser and device that you use.
Our Advertising Partners may permit you to opt out of all or some Interest-Based Advertisements on designated websites. For example, many of our Advertising Service Providers participate in the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out program or Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out program.
We utilize the following Google Analytics Advertising Features as part of our marketing analytics and advertising: Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, DoubleClick Platform integrations and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting and may from time to time use other services provided by Google Analytics. Google provides users an opportunity to opt-out of the Google Analytics Features through Google's Ads Settings and their web browser opt-out plugin. For additional information on opting out of interest-based ads by Google, visit Google's site.
Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
