This is Consolidated Credit Counselling Services of Canada Inc.’s (“CCCS of Canada”) privacy policy statement (this “Policy”). This Policy explains CCCS of Canada policies for the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information collected through our website, social media pages, our designated Member Portal (as defined in our Terms and Conditions), and our mobile App (as defined in out Terms and Conditions). CCCS of Canada abides by applicable privacy legislation, including, but not limited to the Personal Information Production and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), as amended from time to time. This Policy is governed by and designed to comply with the ten principles for the Protection of Personal Information set out in Schedule 1 of PIPEDA, being: Accountability, Identifying Purposes, Consent, Limiting Collection, Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention, Accuracy, Safeguards, Openness, Individual Access, and Challenging Compliance. In addition, this Policy is subject to CCCS of Canada’s Terms and Conditions, which too may govern certain aspects of our collection and use of your personal information.

I. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

CCCS of Canada offers consumer credit counselling services to Canadian residents only. In connection with a request for our credit counseling services, personal information (“PI”, as defined under PIPEDA), including personal information of a financial nature, such as income, debt, and creditor details (“Personal Financial Information” or “PFI”). The information is required in order for us to provide you with services, and in order to administer your program with your creditors. In addition, we may collect other information which is defined as any information other than PI and PFI that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an individual, such as browser information, information collected through cookies, pixel tags and other technologies, demographic information, aggregated and de-identified data.

CCCS of Canada may, but is not required to, collect any of the following categories of PI and PFI:

  1. General Identifying Information: General Identifying Information may include, but not limited to, your full name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, social media account ID, profile photo, other data made publicly available, or data made available by linking your online accounts or other similar identifiers.

  5. Biometric Data: Fingerprint scan, Retina scan, or Face scan, or other methods of biometric scans that are collected in connection with your account access. Please note that use of FaceID or FingerID to login to the App does not involve capturing of Biometric Data. See Section IV, subparagraph titled “Biometric Authentication Signals.”
  6. Internet or Other Electronic Information: Internet or other Electronic Information may include, but not limited to, your web history, search history, interactions with a website, email, applications, or advertisements, IP address, IP Host location, enabled cookies, or any other information that may be automatically obtained from you while making use of the Sites.

  8. Categories that may be considered Sensitive Personal information: Such information may include Government Identifiers, Financial Information, Credit Information, or other sensitive information as defined by applicable law.
  9. Inferences drawn from the above information about your predicted characteristics.

In addition, CCCS of Canada may collect sensitive personal information (“SPI”), which is information that is inherently sensitive in nature. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Government issued identification numbers.
  • Credit score and credit reports.
  • Investment information and accounts.
  • Canadian Tax Authorities documents.
  • Personal financial statements.
  • Biometric Data (if collected).
  • Any other information, beyond the categories above, which is used or associated with a financial account belonging to you or your financial well-being.

For purposes herein, “personal information” means any such information about an identifiable individual, including any PI, PFI, or SPI.

CCCS of Canada may collect non-personal information (“NPI”), being information that does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity or relate to an identifiable individual. CCCS of Canada is not required to treat NPI in accordance with PI or PFI protections set out in this Policy.

Categories of non-personal information include, but are not limited to: demographic information; statistical or aggregated information; Uniform Resource Locators (URLs); clickstream data to, through, and from our Website (including date and time); products or services you viewed or searched for; page response times; download errors; length of visits to certain pages; page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs); methods used to browse away from a page; and any phone number used to call our customer service number.

CCCS of Canada may derive NPI from personal information. Where derived NPI cannot be reasonably used, alone or in combination with other information, to identify an individual, it will be treated as NPI for the purposes of this Policy. However, if NPI is combined with personal information in a manner that directly or indirectly reveals an individual’s identity, CCCS of Canada will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Policy.

II. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

CCCS of Canada may collect PI, PFI, and SPI (each as described in this Policy) from the following sources:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other forms submitted by you, whether submitted through the Internet or manually, as well as through face-to-face conversations, telephone calls, our web-portal, and e-mail communications. This information may include PI, PFI, and SPI as defined in this Policy.
  • PI, PFI, and SPI that may be developed internally as part of your interaction and transactions with us.
  • PI, PFI, and SPI that we may receive from your creditors (e.g. statements, balances, requests, letters, etc.).
  • Certain PI is collected by the App, the Portal, and most browsers and/or through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, device type, make and model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers (such as IDFV on iOS or Android ID), mobile carrier (if applicable), browser type and version, language and locale settings, time zone, screen resolution, and App version and build number. We use this information to ensure websites function properly, for fraud detection and prevention, and security purposes.
  • From marketing or analytics partners, such as Google, Meta, or other third-party partners.
  • From government agencies or public records.
  • Various third parties, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, financial service providers.
  • From all communications with you, whether by e-mail, mail, facsimile, or phone. Please note that all calls with you are recorded for purposes of accuracy and performance reviews, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and dispute resolution.
  • Mobile SDKs. The App uses software development kits (“SDKs”) for analytics, crash reporting, and performance monitoring. These SDKs may generate identifiers and collect telemetry about App usage.

CCCS of Canada may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and other automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:

  • Details of your visits to the App, the Portal, and other browsers, including traffic data, logs, and other communication data, and the resources you access and use on the Website.
  • Information about your device and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, browser type and version, and device identifiers.
  • Your browsing and interaction patterns on the App, the Portal, and other browsers, including pages visited, links clicked, time spent on pages, and navigation paths.

This information may constitute personal information under PIPEDA where it can be used, alone or in combination with other information, to identify you as an individual. Where it does, CCCS of Canada will handle it in accordance with this Policy and PIPEDA’s Schedule 1 principles.

CCCS of Canada may use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services for the purpose of delivering interest-based or tailored advertising (“online behavioural advertising” or “OBA”). The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada considers OBA to involve the collection of personal information and requires meaningful consent. Where CCCS of Canada engages in OBA, we will obtain your consent in accordance with PIPEDA prior to doing so.

You may opt out of tailored advertising at any time by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada Opt-Out Tool. Please note that opting out of OBA means that the advertisements you receive will not be tailored to your inferred interests based on your browsing behaviour.

The information we collect automatically helps us to operate, maintain, and improve our Website and App, and to deliver a more personalized experience. Specifically, this information enables us to:

  • Estimate our audience size and usage patterns.
  • Store information about your preferences and customize experiences to your individual interests.
  • Recognize you when you return to the App, the Portal, and other browsers.

Rather, each time you attempt to log in to your account, the App or Portal will make an API call to the server in which the data is located and will retrieve the data, once the session is terminated so is the access to the data. Your account data is not cached or persistently stored on your device. For information on how and where your account data is retained, including applicable retention periods, please see Section VI of this Policy.

V. WHO WE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH

CCCS of Canada does not share Personal Information with third parties except as required to provide or improve our services. The nature of our services requires CCCS of Canada to disclose Personal Information to creditors. CCCS of Canada may provide Personal Information to its consultants, subcontractors and professional advisers or other third-parties (each of which shall be bound by privacy obligations) to assist CCCS of Canada’s uses disclosed herein. If CCCS of Canada refers a client to a third party for advice or services CCCS of Canada does not provide, it will share that client’s Personal Information with the third party after the client agrees to use such services.

CCCS of Canada will disclose Personal Information without an individual’s knowledge or consent if we receive an order, subpoena, warrant or other legal requirement issued by a court, tribunal, regulator or other person with jurisdiction to compel disclosure of an individual’s Personal Information. If we receive a request from a police officer or other law enforcement agency for access to your Personal Information in the course of an actual or potential investigation, our policy is to require the police officer or law enforcement agency to obtain an order, subpoena or warrant, unless the information is urgently required to prevent serious bodily injury or serious damage to personal property. If we receive a written request from a police officer or other law enforcement agency with authority to request access to your Personal Information in the course of an actual or potential investigation into a breach of a law, our policy is to provide the requested information.

CCCS of Canada may disclose personal information, in accordance with applicable law, to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of CCCS of Canada’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by CCCS of Canada about our clients and users is among the assets transferred. Such disclosure may also occur prior to the completion of any such transaction, to the extent necessary for due diligence purposes. In either case, CCCS of Canada will take reasonable steps to ensure that the receiving entity is bound by privacy obligations no less protective than those set out in this Policy or as otherwise required by applicable law, including PIPEDA.

CCCS of Canada may also disclose personal information where we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of CCCS of Canada, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

VI. SMS AND PHONE CALL OPT-IN AND OPT-OUT

You acknowledge that by providing your phone number and/or joining our SMS Service, you authorize CCCS of Canada to contact you (including using artificial intelligent autodialers, automated text and pre-recorded messages and calls, as well as AI generated calls and messages) via your telephone, cellphone, mobile device (including SMS and MMS) and email, even if your telephone number is currently listed on any state, federal or company’s Do Not Call list. Standard phone and data charges will apply. Your consent to the above terms is not required as a condition of purchasing or receiving our services. You also consent to the recording and monitoring of all calls to and from us. You may opt out of receiving such phone calls or text messages to your mobile device at any time by emailing us your instructions at [email protected]. You may also opt-out and remove your authorization to receive SMS text messages by replying with “STOP”, “END”, “QUIT”, “UNSUBSCRIBE”, or “CANCEL” to any SMS you receive or by going to Members of CCCS of Canada.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

VII. SECURITY

Personal Information is stored in a combination of paper and electronic files. All Paper files are stored on our facilities in Canada. Client electronic files are stored at our IT Vendor servers. We take commercially reasonable precautions to protect your personal information and only provide employees access to it on a need-to-know basis. In an effort to prevent the unauthorized access, disclosure, dissemination, misuse, loss, alteration or destruction of your personal information, we have employed commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial measures to protect your data, and we periodically review these policies and procedures to prevent these types of acts. These files are protected by security measures appropriate to the nature of the information. Client data on CCCS of Canada’s network is encrypted in transit, and all data is encrypted at rest. Backups are run at least once per day and all backups are encrypted, air gapped and zero trust.

However, despite our best efforts, no security policy, procedures or practices are adequate to protect against all types of threats or data losses, and no type of data transmission method is impenetrable to interception.

Furthermore, access to your account information through the member Portal or App requires unique credentials that are set by you. You agree to ensure to take all measures to protect those credentials (such as username and/or password), and to ensure you are not accessing the Portal or App from unsecured networks or locations. We recommend that you set a password that only you know and that is sufficiently secured and require you to meet specific character requirements. Do not share your password, and do not reuse passwords that you may have used in other online accounts.

You will be promptly notified in writing in the event of theft, loss, unauthorized use or release of your non-public personal information.

VIII. ACCESSING INFORMATION

Individuals may review their personal information contained in CCCS of Canada’s files by contacting the CCCS of Canada privacy officer at the email address provided at the end of this Policy. For your convenience, CCCS of Canada created a data request form on our website to allow you to take the following actions:

  1. Request to Know. You may request to know whether we process your Personal information and to access such Personal information. You may request to receive the specific pieces or a copy of your Personal information, including, where applicable, a copy of the Personal information you provided to us in a portable format.

    1. The categories of Personal information we collected about you and the categories of sources from which we collected such Personal information;
    2. The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing (if applicable) Personal information about you;
    3. The categories of Personal information about you that we sold or “shared” and the categories of third parties to whom we sold or “shared” such Personal information (if applicable); and
    4. The categories of Personal information about you that we otherwise disclosed and the categories of third parties with whom we disclosed such Personal information (if applicable).
  2. Request to Delete. You may request that we delete some of your Personal information. You understand that because CCCS of Canada is required, in accordance with regulatory requirements, to maintain files for a certain period of time as provided in applicable regulations.

  3. Request to Appeal. If we refuse to act on your request, you may appeal our refusal within a reasonable period after you have received notice of the refusal.
  4. Request to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information.
  5. Request to Opt-Out of Sale, Targeted Advertising, Limit Disclosure of Sensitive Information and/or Sharing. You may request to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal information and/or targeted advertising, including the “sharing” of your Personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

Consolidated Credit is committed to ensuring accessibility of its website and intranet to people with disabilities. We endeavor to have new and updated web content produced by our organization to meet WCAG 2.0, Level AA conformance. We are actively taking a variety of steps and devoting resources to continually enhance the accessibility of our website and other technology.

Third-party content providers are aware of our web accessibility policy. Consolidated Credit will also favour providers based on their accessibility conformance claims. Unfortunately, some third-party content on our site, including maps, may not be accessible despite best efforts.

This policy will be reviewed annually on or before September 1 of each year, using the process described at Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology. Reviews are the responsibility of the IT department, among others. Accessibility checks will be incorporated into the publishing workflow for all new content. Although we are proud of the efforts that we have completed and that are in-progress, we at Consolidated Credit view accessibility as an ongoing effort.
