Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way.  You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.  Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.  The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Do Not Call Policy
College Lending Solutions (“CLS”) is dedicated to the concept of individual privacy and ethical business practices.  We support and encourage registration of the National Do-Not-Call registry http://www.donotcall.gov and will appropriately apply this filter on all telemarketing efforts.  The following procedures should ensure that persons not wanting to be contacted in the future have the appropriate means available to them to retain their privacy.

1. CLS maintains a specific “Do Not Call” list consisting of all individuals who were contacted previously and requested not to be called by CLS in the future.
2. CLS subscribes to telephone preference lists for other agencies and entities.  Names on these lists are added to CLS’s in house “Do Not Call” list when received.
3. Before CLS contacts consumers, CLS purges those individuals who have been entered into the in-house “Do Not Call” list from the list of names to be called.
4. All student loan consultants working on behalf of CLS shall be trained with specific instructions on how to accept and record a request by a consumer who does not wish to be called in the future.
5. Names of individuals who have requested to be placed on a “Do Not Call” list are entered daily.  Please be advised it can take up to 90 days for the National DNC Register to be updated.
6. It is CLS’s policy to advise consumers, in response to requests to be placed on a “Do Not Call” list, of the availability of telephone preference services.
7. CLS restricts calling to the hours of Monday-Thursday 8:30am-11pm, Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday from 10am-3pm in the local where the call is received.
8. CLS makes a copy of its “Do Not Call” Policy available to anyone who specifically requests it.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy or do not call policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 1.888.898.2587 or via email: customerservice@collegelendingsolutions.com.
