Before Mr. Payday collects Personal Information from an individual, we first obtain that individual’s consent. Consent may be express or implied. We may obtain your express consent in writing, through electronic means, or verbally. Alternatively, your consent may be implied through an action that you’ve taken or when you continue to use a service after being notified of our policy. We obtain your consent the first time we receive your Personal Information. By continuing to make use of the services we provide you imply your ongoing consent to the collection and use of your Personal Information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Once your consent is obtained, Mr. Payday may collect the following types of Personal Information: (i) information we receive from you as part of the application process by telephone or through the Site from registration forms, application forms, transaction documents, surveys, or other documents or submissions related to the services we provide, including: your name, address, telephone number, social insurance number (“SIN”), email address, employment information, demographic information, bank account information, and information about your assets, debts and income; information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, such as your account history, transaction balances, payment history, overdraft history, parties to transactions, and your reasons for doing business with us; (ii) information we receive from third parties such as consumer reporting agencies and other lenders regarding your credit worthiness and credit history, and information to verify your identity such as your telephone number; (iii) information we obtain to verify representations made by you, such as your employment history or income; (iv) information obtained from specialized marketing information firms, such as household demographics; (v) information that we receive about you from other online entities who have initially obtained your information but have transferred it to us so that we can provide our services to you; (vi) information obtained from web page http headers (home server domain names, IP address, type of client computer, and type of Web browser); (vii) information, user specific or aggregate, that we receive from our web pages recording visitor access; (viii) information that you provide when you contact our customer service department; (ix) information that you provide when you communicate with us via email or online chat; and (x) information about your computer and network settings. We collect this personal information so that we can evaluate your application for a payday loan, protect against fraud, and provide an online environment that is safe and secure.
We request your SIN for identification, security and credit matching purposes. Your SIN is a reliable way to confirm your identity and ensure proper matching of credit information with credit reporting agencies. You should be aware, however, that permitting us to use your SIN in this way is voluntary.
We use Personal Information to: provide you with the services you request; offer you additional products or services, from us or from others, that may be of interest to you; comply with all reporting and other legal requirements; enhance your experience at our Site; collect and process payments and update account records; analyze customer demographics, payment histories, and preferences; conduct statistical analyses and confirm your identity.
Although Mr. Payday does its best to protect Personal Information on the Site, for other websites linked to the Site which are not managed by Mr. Payday, we are unable to manage your Personal Information, and Mr. Payday is not responsible for information that is provided to these other websites.
We may share Personal Information with any other Mr. Payday related company (“Affiliated Company”, collectively “Affiliated Companies”) and with other companies with whom Mr. Payday or any Affiliated Company does business (“Non-Affiliated Third Parties”), for the purpose of providing or collecting a delinquent payday loan or as permitted by law, and described in this privacy policy. These Affiliated Companies and Non-Affiliated Third Parties may be (i) financial service providers, such as banks, mortgage brokers, lenders, loan brokers, cheque cashers, collection agencies, credit counselling agencies, consumer reporting agencies, credit, debit and store valued card providers, insurance agencies and other insurance service providers, bill payment agencies, ATM providers, pawn providers, automobile dealers, financing providers, leasing providers, money transfer and remittance providers, sellers and remitters of money orders and travellers’ cheques, and financial service provider holding companies, or agents, contractors, or representatives of any of the foregoing entities; (ii) non-financial companies, such as retailers, tax preparers, payroll service providers, advertisers, marketing companies, lead generators, advertisers on our websites, companies or individuals that do industry-related research, surveys or polls, automobile dealers, and holding companies, or agents, contractors, or representatives of any of the foregoing entities; and (iii) other organizations, such as non-profit organizations, trade associations, and industry analysts or agents, contractors, or representatives of any of these entities.
We may also disclose Personal Information to Affiliated Companies and Non-Affiliated Third Parties that provide services to us (“Service Providers”), which may be located outside of Canada. We contract with Service Providers to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include banks and other financial institutions, loyalty programs, database providers who assist in identity verification, credit scoring companies, and market research organizations, software developers and direct and indirect marketers. Their access is limited only to the Personal Information needed to perform their functions, and only for the purpose of performing those functions, and they are prohibited from using or disclosing Personal Information for other purposes. To receive further information about our policies with regards to Service Providers outside Canada, as may be required by law, please see the “Contact Information” section below.
We may release Personal Information if it becomes necessary for compliance with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our Site, our users, or third parties. We reserve the right to release such Personal Information to law enforcement or other governmental officials as we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary to comply with the law. In addition, we reserve the right to use and disclose information about you that does not personally identify you in any form we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.
