Sharing Your Information
As a referral service, we share your information with licensed lenders operating in Canada to process your loan application. Each lender has its own privacy practices and terms. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before proceeding.
We may also share anonymized, aggregated data with partners and service providers to improve our platform, but this data cannot identify you personally.
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority in Canada.
Data Security
Instant Loans Canada uses industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect your information during transmission. Our servers are secured with firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular security audits.
However, no online transmission is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any passwords or login credentials you create.
