Capital Recovery Inc's Privacy Policy
Terms and Conditions
Capital Recovery, Inc. is a collection agency which operates its business in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. As a result, we obtain certain information from our clients which may be disclosed to third parties as a function of our compliance with these laws, in the operation of our business. This information is often classified as “non-public personal information”, and is obtained from the following sources:
1. Information we receive from you regarding debts to be collected, and the source, nature and history of all such debts.
2. The original creditor of all such debts, if different from you.
3. Information about your transactions with us, our attorneys and other affiliates.
At CRI, we protect your privacy to the fullest extent allowed by law, since our customers and clients are our most valuable asset. We restrict the release of any information in our possession to those releases required by law, and all persons, employees, attorneys and associates are required by CRI, as well as any other person, firm or business entity which might come into possession of the information to protect it and keep it confidential. We do not disclose any non-public personal information except as described in this Notice.
We may be required, from time to time, to disclose non-public personal information to litigants involved in the collection process, as well as the various state and federal Courts used by CRI to collect receivables and past due debts. Once the disclosure is made within the Court system, it is generally open to the public, however, we endeavor to protect the disclosure of that information to the general public within the bounds of the law.
