We may share information with trusted third parties, such as credit bureaus or creditors, but only with the explicit consent of the client. Different types of Virgin Islands Privacy and Confidentiality Policies may exist for credit counseling services, depending on the entity providing the services.

However, regardless of the variations, the core principles of confidentiality, privacy protection, and compliance with applicable laws remain consistent across all policies.
