Best Student Loan Consolidation Programs is a small, independent information site edited by Ben-G. This page describes, in plain words, what happens to your data when you read it. We have tried to describe what the site does today, not what a template says sites usually do.
The short version
- You can read everything here without an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address or any loan details.
- The site has no comment section, no contact form and no newsletter sign-up at this time.
- We do not run analytics or advertising trackers at this time.
- The calculators and data tables on our articles run in your browser. The numbers you type into them are not sent to us or stored.
What is collected automatically
The site is hosted by Hostinger and served through its content delivery network. Like any web host, it records technical data for each request in server logs: your IP address, the page requested, the time, and your browser and device type. We use this only to keep the site secure and working, and we do not try to identify individual readers from it. Hostinger processes this data on our behalf.
Pages on the site also load a small script from Hostinger’s email tool (cdn-reach.hostinger.com). We do not currently show a sign-up form through it. Your browser contacts that server when the script loads, which shares your IP address with Hostinger in the same way as loading the page itself.
Cookies
The public pages of this site do not set cookies for visitors at this time. If you are logged in as an editor, WordPress sets the cookies needed to keep you logged in; ordinary readers never see those.
Links to other sites
Our articles link to sources such as government sites, regulators, lenders and other publishers. Once you follow a link, that site’s own privacy policy applies. We do not control what those sites collect.
Advertising and partner links
We plan to add display advertising and, on some refinancing pages, partner links. Advertising networks typically use cookies and similar technologies, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent before any of that loads. This policy and our page on how the site makes money will be updated on the day that changes, and the date at the top of this page will change with it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its use. This includes rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and under US state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act. Because we do not collect names, email addresses or accounts, the only data in question is the server log data described above. We do not sell personal information.
Children
This site is written for adults managing student loans. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes and contact
We will update this page when the site changes how it handles data, and we will change the date at the top when we do. For any privacy question or request, contact the editor, Ben-G, on LinkedIn.
