Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 17, 2026 · Effective Date: March 17, 2026
1. Introduction and Who We Are
BusinessDebtMatch.com ("BusinessDebtMatch," "we," "our," or "us") is an independent, third-party matching platform that connects business owners seeking debt relief with licensed and vetted debt relief service providers. We operate as a lead generation and referral service — we are not a debt relief company, law firm, financial advisor, or lender.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and what rights you have regarding your information. By accessing our website at BusinessDebtMatch.com (the "Site") or submitting any information through our quiz or contact forms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Important Notice Regarding Data Sharing: Because our business model is built on connecting you with third-party debt relief companies, we will share the personal and financial information you provide with one or more of our partner companies. Please read Section 5 carefully before submitting any information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
A. Information You Provide Directly
When you complete our matching quiz or contact forms, we collect the information you enter, which may include:

- Contact information: Your full name, email address, and phone number.
- Financial information: Debt amounts, types of financial obligations (e.g., Merchant Cash Advances, business loans), and your ability to meet current payment obligations.
- Communication records: Any messages, inquiries, or correspondence you send to us.
B. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our Site, we and our third-party service providers automatically collect certain technical and usage data, including:

C. Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third-party sources, including advertising platforms (such as Google and Meta), data enrichment providers, and our partner companies, to supplement the information you provide and to verify the accuracy of your submission.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Matching services: To evaluate your debt situation and match you with one or more debt relief companies from our partner network that are best suited to your specific circumstances.
- Transmitting your information to partners: To share your contact and financial information with our verified partner companies so they can contact you regarding their services (see Section 5).

- Marketing and advertising: To serve you relevant advertisements on our Site and on third-party platforms (such as Google, Meta/Facebook, and others), including retargeting campaigns.
- Site improvement: To analyze how users interact with our Site, identify technical issues, and improve the user experience.
- Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, and to enforce our Terms of Service.
- Fraud prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent submissions, spam, and other unauthorized or illegal activity.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)
To the extent required by applicable law (including the California Consumer Privacy Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and similar state privacy laws), we process your personal information on the following legal bases:
- Consent: By submitting your information through our quiz or contact forms, you consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
- Legitimate interests: We process certain data to operate our business, improve our services, prevent fraud, and serve relevant advertising, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation: We may process your data to comply with applicable laws and legal processes.
5. How We Share Your Information
We share your personal and financial information with third-party debt relief companies and other partners. This is a core and essential function of our service. By submitting your information through our Site, you expressly consent to this sharing.
A. Debt Relief Partner Companies ("Network Partners")
When you complete our matching quiz, we transmit your submission — including your name, email address, phone number, business name, debt amount, debt type, lender information, and other details you provide — to one or more debt relief companies in our verified partner network. These companies will use your information to contact you (by phone, email, or text message) to discuss their services and your eligibility for debt relief programs.
Our primary partner is Creditors Relief. Depending on your debt profile and geographic location, your information may also be shared with other licensed debt relief providers. Each partner company's use of your information is governed by its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies before engaging with any partner.
Once your information has been transmitted to a partner company, that company's data practices are outside our control. We are not responsible for how partner companies use, store, or further share your information.
B. Service Providers
We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including web hosting, data analytics, email delivery, advertising technology, and customer relationship management. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
C. Advertising and Analytics Partners
We use advertising platforms including Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and similar services. These platforms may receive certain information about your visit to our Site (such as pages viewed and actions taken) through cookies and tracking pixels to serve you relevant advertisements and to measure the performance of our campaigns. We may share hashed or anonymized contact data (such as email addresses) with these platforms to create custom or lookalike audiences.
D. Business Transfers
If BusinessDebtMatch is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change by updating this Privacy Policy.
E. Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of BusinessDebtMatch, our users, or the public.
6. Your Consent to Be Contacted
By submitting your information through our Site, you expressly consent to being contacted by BusinessDebtMatch and our partner companies via email, telephone, and/or text message (including automated calls and text messages) regarding debt relief services, even if your number is on a Do Not Call registry. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal, and partner companies that have already received your information may continue to contact you pursuant to their own consent agreements.

8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our matching services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. In general, we retain submission data for up to five (5) years, after which it is deleted or anonymized, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
9. Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
