DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our policy is that we will not disclose or sell your personal information without your consent, except as otherwise set out herein, or as permitted or required by law.

If you submit a mortgage pre-qualification or inquiry to us, either directly or through our website or one of the mortgage brokers or agents in our network, we may disclose your personal information to third parties, such as lenders, insurers, credit reporting agencies, and to our brokers, agents and their respective affiliates, for the purpose of processing your application or inquiry.

From time to time, we may disclose your personal information to service providers retained by us to perform functions on our behalf or provide services to us, including third party software providers, payment processors and hosting services.

We may perform data analytics on your personal information and generate reports, statistics and information using your personal information, which we may publish (but only in anonymized and aggregated form).

Any personal information may also be transferred or disclosed to a purchaser or prospective purchaser in the event of a sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to ensure that the transferee uses your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties where you consent to the disclosure or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

STORING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your personal information is stored either at our premises or the premises of our direct or indirect service providers. We only retain your personal information as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected or to comply with legal requirements.

LOCATION

We and our service providers may store or process your personal information in Canada, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, may also store or process your personal information in the United States or in other jurisdictions. Personal information that is stored or processed in foreign jurisdictions may be subject to different legal requirements and laws than those applicable in Canada.

LEGAL

We and our service providers may disclose your personal information in response to a search warrant, subpoena or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by applicable law. We may also disclose personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or as otherwise permitted by law.

INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH YOUR USAGE OF OUR WEBSITES AND SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

Like many other companies, we use various technologies to collect information and track your activity when you visit our websites and use our software applications. For example, we may use cookies (small files sent to your browser to store information) or web beacons (invisible images placed on certain pages of our websites) to collect personal information about your use of our websites. We may also collect analytics and information relating to your usage of our websites and software applications such as your IP address, the browser, device and operating system that you are using, the URL that referred you to the website, your physical location, the areas of the websites and software applications that you visit, the extent and nature of your usage and the time of day that you access the websites and use the software applications.

The information we collect allows us to track your activities across our various websites and software applications and to improve your user experience and the functionality of our websites and software applications. We may also use this information to market specific products or services to you, or to customize the websites and software applications for you. We may also use this information to create aggregated and anonymized information to determine which features are most popular and useful to users, and for other statistical purposes.

SAFEGUARDS

We protect your personal information in our custody and control from loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration by using reasonable physical, organizational and technological security measures.

To the extent we have arrangements with service providers to store or process personal information on our behalf, our policy is to require them by contractual or other means to provide comparable protection while the information is stored or processed by them. However, these service providers may have privacy policies of their own.

While we believe these safeguards are reasonable and are comparable to the safeguard provided by providers of similar services, we cannot guarantee that they will be sufficient to protect the privacy and security of your personal information in all circumstances.
