Privacy Policy
The owners of the LoanDelta.com website understand the concerns people have about
privacy and safety on the Internet.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather from visitors,
how we use it, how we store it, and the steps we take to protect your privacy.
Cookie Usage
LoanDelta.com does not use any cookies of its own. However, LoanDelta.com
does make use of a feature called "Save URLs" that can persistently preserve data
entered into the site's form fields via a URL string. "Save URLs" are described in
more detail in a section below.
At any time LoanDelta.com may decide to make use session cookies, persistent cookies,
or both to enhance the user experience or for any other reason. User's should be aware of the
possibility of a change in cookie policy without further notification.
Session Cookies vs Persistent Cookies - Browsers are supposed to delete session
cookies whenever the browser is closed. Thus, session cookies are not supposed to be saved
permanently on a users computer although that's ultimately dependent upon the browser implementation.
Persistent cookies contain an expiration date that serves as
an indication to the browser that the website would like the browser to save the cookie on the
user's computer for a period of time up to the expiration date. Thus, persistent cookies are
stored on a computer's hard drive.
LoanDelta.com does NOT put personally identifiable information such as email addresses
in cookies or in "Save URLs".
Most browsers allow users to opt out of using cookies. Browsers may also let users opt out
of persistent cookies while still allowing session cookies. Some features of LoanDelta.com
may not function properly or at all without cookies enabled.
Disable and Manage Cookies in various browsers:
LoanDelta.com makes use of the following third party services that use persistent cookies:
- Google Analytics (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
- Google AdSense (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
- Tweet button (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
- Pinterest "Pin it" button (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
- Facebook "Like" & "Share" buttons (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
- Google g+ button (see "Third Party Services" below for more info)
Note: Third party cookies are associated with the third party's web servers and not with
LoanDelta.com's web servers.
Save URLs
LoanDelta.com generates "Save URLs" that are intended to allow users
to save and share links to the site with the current form field settings preserved. These Save URLs
serve a similar purpose as a persistent cookie except the information is encoded in a URL
instead of in a cookie stored by a browser. Users decide how or if they will make use of "Save URLs".
Many users choose to save the "Save URL" in their
"Favorites" or "Bookmarks" and in doing so the browser will save the encoded form
field data on their computer. Browsers allow "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" to be easily imported
and exported, thus "Save URLs" saved to "Favorites" or "Bookmarks"
are vulnerable to unintended transfer from one computer to another whenever "Favorites" or "Bookmarks"
are exported and imported.
"Save URLs" are, of course, URLs. Thus, they will show up in a browser's navigation
history if a "Save URL" page is loaded in a browser. Browsers save their navigation history to the user's computer.
Thus, users should avoid accessing "Save URLs" from other people's devices including computers in libraries, kiosks, and
other public places if they are concerned with keeping the encoded form field content private.
Data Transmission Security
LoanDelta.com uses the industry standard unsecure HTTP protocol for all page loads.
LoanDelta.com does not store any content entered by users on our web servers. All
content entered by users is limited to client side analysis by JavaScript code and preservation
via "Save URLs" at the users' discretion.
Data Storage and Website Hosting
LoanDelta.com does not store any content entered by users on our web servers. All
content entered by users is limited to client side analysis by JavaScript code and preservation
via "Save URLs" at the users' discretion.
Data Collected and Its Use
LoanDelta.com allows users to enter information about one or more loans
for comparison and analysis purposes. We do not make use of this information beyond
the client side loan calculation, analysis, and comparison that is the primary focus
of the site. The information collected includes:
- Loan Amount
- Loan Interest Rate
- Loan Term (duration)
- Loan Payment Amount
- Amount of Property Taxes
- Amount of Insurance Payments
At any time we may decide to make use of the information above to enhance our display
of ads thereby making them context sensitive based on the information entered by users. For
example, a user performing mortgage analysis may be presented with mortgage ads rather
than ads for auto loans or other things. Implementation of enhanced context sensitive
ads may involve sharing user entered data with third party advertisers such as Google Adsense.
LoanDelta.com creates a "Save URL" that is updated every time a
user changes a form input field on the site. If users link to a "Save URL" from their
Facebook, Twitter, or other social media accounts or send links via email then the information
entered on the site can be associated directly with the user (via their social media account).
If users don't want to share the
content entered on the site publicly or in a way that can be associated directly with them
then they should avoid clicking, sending, linking to, or otherwise using "Save URLs".
The use of "Save URLs" is completely optional and at each user's discretion.
Third Party Services
LoanDelta.com makes use of the following third party services:
- Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a robust website analysis tool. Google Analytics utilizes
cookies, IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, and other information to help
website operators understand how their website is being accessed and utilized.
All Google Analytics cookies are associated with Google Analytics servers and
not with the LoanDelta.com website. However, the information gathered
by the use of these cookies is used by the owners and operators of the LoanDelta.com
website. The statistical information collected by the Google Analytics system may
also be utilized by Google in an aggregate, anonymous fashion to provide multi-site
statistical analysis of web traffic, browser popularity, and other interesting,
potentially useful data.
LoanDelta.com loads a script from Google's servers in order to utilize
Google Analytics. LoanDelta.com has no control over this script's execution or its
use of cookies or other user data.
Google's Privacy Policy
- Google AdSense
Google AdSense is Google's world class advertising system that allows
website developers to place ads on their web pages. The AdSense service is a
godsend for website developers because all websites have operational costs
that must be funded somehow. AdSense provides an extremely effective platform
that allows websites to optimize their potential ad revenue and support their
operational costs. AdSense uses persistent cookies, the content of a site's web pages,
and other information to present ads that are
context appropriate for the web pages and potentially of high interest to
page visitors.
The persistent AdSense cookies are associated with Google's AdSense servers and
not with the LoanDelta.com website. This means other websites that
display AdSense ads can share the same persistent AdSense cookie as LoanDelta.com.
Thus, the AdSense advertising system can maintain information about all the websites
you visit that show AdSense ads. This can help the AdSense system display ads of high
interest to you but it is also a privacy issue to be aware of.
LoanDelta.com loads a script from Google's servers in order to utilize
Google AdSense. LoanDelta.com has no control over this script's execution or its
use of cookies or other user data.
