Privacy Policy
What information this site collects, how it's used, and your rights under California law.
Last updated: April 2026 · Effective date: April 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how DebtReliefSimple.com ("we," "us," or "our"), operated from Orange County, California, collects, uses, and handles information when you visit this website. We take privacy seriously and have designed this site to collect as little data as possible.
Who we are
DebtReliefSimple.com is an independently operated educational website based in Orange County, California. We are not a financial institution, debt relief company, or credit counseling agency. Contact: info@debtreliefsimple.com.
Information we collect
Information you provide voluntarily
This site has two places where you may voluntarily provide your email address: an opt-in form on the homepage and an optional email step within the free quiz. If you enter your email in either form, it is submitted directly to Mailchimp, our email service provider, and used only to deliver the educational content you requested. Your email is the only personal information we actively collect.
The five quiz questions and your answers are processed entirely within your browser — they are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. We never see your quiz answers. Providing an email address at the optional quiz email step is not required to complete the quiz or view your results.
Information collected automatically
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized, non-personally-identifiable information when you visit, including:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website or search query
- Browser type and general device category (mobile, desktop)
- General geographic region (country or state — not precise location)
- Session duration and pages per session
This information is aggregated and anonymized. It helps us understand which content is useful and improve the site.
Cookies and tracking
We may use cookies for analytics purposes. We do not currently participate in any affiliate marketing programs. If we add affiliate partnerships in the future, this section will be updated to describe any related tracking.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
