Loan on Me is committed to respecting your rights to privacy and protecting your personal information.
Personal Information is information about an identifiable individual. Examples of personal information we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, identification information (such as government issued identification numbers), bank account information and personal credit and financial information.
As part of our legal obligation in assessing whether a loan is suitable for you, we need to obtain from you and other parties personal information relating to you.
We may collect, use, hold, and disclose personal and credit related information about you so that we can:
We may collect and hold identification and transaction information about you for the purpose of our compliance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Anti-Terrorism Act and related regulations, including government-issued identification documents, information prepared and maintained by a government agency, general business and credit and payment information about you.
In certain cases, we collect your personal information from third parties, such as credit reporting agencies, your nominated representative (such as a legal or financial adviser), your employer, or publicly available sources of information.
We generally collect personal information with consent except where collection of personal information without consent is permitted or required by law. If you do not consent to our collection, use or disclosure of some or all of the information that we seek to collect from you, we may not be able to provide our services to you.
Your personal information may be disclosed in certain circumstances including, but not limited to the following:
We may collect your personal information from credit reporting agencies, including obtaining your credit report. We may disclose to credit reporting agencies personal information about you for the purposes of maintaining your credit history, including:
We may transfer personal information to service providers (including affiliates acting in this capacity) that perform services on our behalf, such as communications, billing, marketing, information technology and/or data hosting or processing. Some of these service providers may be located outside of Canada, including in the United States, and the United Kingdom. While outside of Canada, personal information will be subject to applicable local laws, which may permit personal information to be accessed by government or national security authorities in certain circumstances.
We may use and disclose personal information in connection with the proposed or actual financing, securitization, insuring, sale, assignment or other disposal of all or part of our business or assets. Our assignees or successors of our business or assets may use and disclose your personal information for similar purposes as those described in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your name, residential address and date of birth to a credit reporting agency and request it to provide an assessment of whether it matches (in whole or part) personal information held by it for the purposes of verifying your identity pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and related regulations. The credit reporting agency may prepare and provide that assessment to us and may use that disclosed information and the information on its files to do so.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and to update and/or correct it, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law. If you wish to access your personal information, please contact us in writing.
We will not charge any fee for your access request, but may charge an administrative fee for providing a copy of your personal information. In order to protect your personal information we may require identification from you before releasing the requested information.
We will conduct our business with you electronically unless we are prohibited by law from doing so or if you request otherwise. Among other things, we will send you the following documents and information electronically:
We will send you electronic documents and information by either:

It is important to us that your personal information is up to date. We will take reasonable steps to make sure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up-to- date. If you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate, please advise us as soon as practicable so we can update our records and ensure we can continue to provide quality services to you.
The file containing your personal information will be maintained on our servers or those of our affiliates or service providers, and will be accessible by authorized employees and representatives. We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as totally secure.
Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party. We will obtain your consent to collect your personal information from a third party, except where collection of the information without your consent is permitted or required by law (for example, where the information is collected for the purposes of collecting a debt).
This Policy may change from time to time and is available on our website.
If you would like to request access to or correction of your personal information, if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how we handle personal information, or if you would like to opt-out of marketing, please contact our sales team at [email protected].
