Personal Information

Personal information is defined in PIPEDA as information about an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title or business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. In other words, it does not include the information that one normally finds on a business card.

Like most other commercial websites, We will monitor traffic patterns, site usage and related site information and statistics to optimize your visit to Our Web Site.

There are a number of ways We collect information from a customer or someone browsing the Web Site, including tracking your activities through your IP address, the use of "cookies," and Web beacons. This type of information is not personally identifiable unless you have already provided Us with your personal information online.

The server for Our Web Site usually logs your IP address when you request a page from this Web Site. By just surfing the Site you will remain anonymous to Us since We do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable.

Another method We employ to collect anonymous information is through the use of "cookies". A cookie is a small piece of data that a Web Site can deliver to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer. Some pages on Our Web Site use cookies, issued by Ourselves or a third party vendors (like Google for AdWords and Google Analytics), or other technologies, all of which are designed to give Us better information of your Web Site experience or better serve you if and when you return to the Web Site. It is possible to set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it or to simply not to accept cookies altogether.

We may also employ "Web beacon technologies" to better tailor this site to provide enhanced customer service. These elements are placed on several pages throughout Our Web Site. When a visitor goes to these pages, an anonymous notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Us or by Our vendors. This technology works in conjunction with cookies (described above). You can set your browser to turn off cookies if you don't want to associate your non-personally identifiable information with your visits to these pages.

We employ web hosting companies to host Our Web Site. In such cases where We use third party​ service providers, We will use contractual or other means to ensure that Our third party service providers are bound by obligations regarding privacy which are consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Accuracy of Your Information

It is important that the information that We have on file be accurate and up-to-date. If, during the course of Our business relationship with your company, any of your information changes, please update the information using Our portal or inform Us so that We can make any necessary changes. We may also ask you from time to time whether your personal information is up-to-date.

Safeguards - No Guarantees

MortgageXO uses various commercially reasonable safeguards to ensure that your personal information is protected against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying or alteration. These include security of Our physical premises; security software and firewalls to prevent unauthorized computer access or “hacking” of Our servers; and internal passwords that restrict access to Our electronic files.

However, as recent high-profile data breaches around the world demonstrate, no information made available online is perfectly secure these days and there is always the risk of disclosure.

If there is a data breach, We will notify you in accordance with privacy law respecting data breaches.

No Information Collected from Children.

We do not knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13. If We obtain actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from Our database.
