Opt-Out of Cookies for Third-Party Analytics And Interest-Based Advertising
We partner with third parties to collect information to engage in analysis, auditing, research, and reporting. These third parties may set and access cookies on your computer or other device and may use web beacons (including clear GIFs, tracking pixels, JavaScript, and tags) to collect information about your activity on the Site and how you respond to our marketing emails. In particular, the Site may use Google Analytics to help collect and analyze certain information for the purposes discussed above. You may opt out of the use of cookies by Google Analytics here.
The use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies. Although we do not use these mechanisms on our Site for targeted advertising, you may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here. Please note that the opt-out will apply only to the specific browser or device from which you opt out, and therefore you will need to opt out separately on all of your browsers and devices. If you delete or reset your cookies, change browsers, or use a different device, any opt-out cookie or tool may no longer work and you will have to opt out again.
Some browsers have a “do not track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "do not track" signals, but you may opt out of interest–based advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative and for companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting the opt-out pages described above.
You can also generally remove, block, or disable cookies by using the settings located in your browser. If you decide to remove or not accept cookies, some features and services on our Site may not work properly and the offers we provide when you visit or use our Site may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests. For further information about deleting or blocking cookies, please visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/. Information about how to opt out of the use of cookies for certain purposes (such as interest-based advertising) is discussed below in the section titled "Third-Party Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising."
Security
In our information technology systems environment, Navient maintains commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (including secure disposal methods) designed to protect your information against loss or unauthorized access, use, modification, or deletion. However, no security program is foolproof, and thus we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not intend to collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected this information from a child under the age of 13, we will promptly take all reasonable steps to delete the data from our system except when required by statute or regulation to maintain for record keeping purposes.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
Technology and the Internet are rapidly changing. We therefore are likely to make changes to the Site in the future and as a consequence will need to revise this Privacy Policy to reflect those changes. We will post all such changes on the Site, with an "effective date" indicating when the changes will take effect, so you should review this page periodically.
