Where consent is required for a particular collection, use, disclosure, or communication, we request it at the relevant point. Any consent to receive text messages (SMS), phone calls, or emails is handled separately from your advertising-cookie choice and can be withdrawn subject to applicable law and any communications needed to service an account or transaction.

How We Use Personal Data

Data collected on our Site will only be used for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy or indicated on the relevant pages of our Site. Your data will not be used in any way that is not detailed in this Privacy Policy.

Who We Share Personal Data With

Authorized personnel and service providers
We may disclose personal data to authorized personnel and service providers who reasonably need it to provide, secure, support, or administer the services described in this Privacy Policy. These may include hosting, communications, identity or bank-verification, payment, fraud-prevention, professional, and technology providers, subject to applicable agreements and law.

If it is required by law
If any legal proceeding deems it necessary
To prove or protect our legal rights
To third parties directly involved in providing the service set out in this privacy policy

Google advertising measurement
If you accept advertising cookies, Google Tag Manager may load Google advertising measurement technologies. Google may receive and process information such as the page visited, browser and device information, IP address, and advertising click identifiers such as gclid, gbraid, or wbraid. Google processes that information under its own terms and privacy policies. Declining on your first visit prevents the Site from loading Google Tag Manager. If you withdraw a previously saved acceptance, the page reloads without Google Tag Manager.

If you follow hyperlinks from our Site to another Site, please note that we are not responsible for and have no control over their privacy policies and practices.

How Long We Store Personal Data

Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, the status of an application or account, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Records may need to be retained after an application or loan relationship ends to maintain transaction and application history, respond to disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, or comply with law. A deletion request may therefore be subject to lawful retention requirements. Contact us for information about the retention considerations that apply to your records.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or loss. Access is limited to authorized personnel and service providers who need it for an identified purpose. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

We do not knowingly collect or use any personal data from children under the age of 13. If it comes to our attention that any data collected belongs to a child under the age of 13, that personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. Parents or guardians may contact us if a child under 13 has submitted their personal data to us.

How to Access, Modify, Delete, or Challenge the Data Collected

If you would like to know whether we collected your personal data, how we used or disclosed it, or if you would like to request access, correction, or deletion, contact us at support@paydayhero.ca or call toll free at +1 (855) 694-4891. Requests are handled subject to identity verification and applicable legal exceptions or retention requirements.

Cookies, Browser Storage, and Advertising Measurement

Cookies and similar browser-storage technologies can remember information about a visit. The Site uses the following categories:

Necessary and functional storage: Used for security, core site operation, application navigation, and remembering your privacy choice.
Session attribution values: Inbound campaign parameters may be retained in session storage so a referral or ad-click value remains available across application steps. Retaining the value locally does not itself contact Google.
Optional advertising measurement: After you select “Accept advertising,” Google Tag Manager may load technologies used to measure visits and campaign performance. These technologies are not loaded before acceptance.

You can accept or decline optional advertising measurement in the privacy notice shown on your first visit. You can review or change the choice at any time by selecting “Cookie Preferences” in the Site footer. Withdrawing a previous acceptance reloads the page without Google Tag Manager. Browser controls may also allow you to delete or block stored data.

Modifications

This Privacy Policy may be amended or modified from time to time to comply with the law or reflect any changes to how we collect, process, and store data. We will update the “Last updated” date at the beginning of the policy any time it is changed. We encourage users to review our privacy policy from time to time so as to be informed of potential changes. We may notify users of changes to this privacy policy if necessary.

Cost of Credit Disclosure

Your exact APR, all mandatory fees, and total cost of credit are itemized in your loan agreement before you sign, in accordance with the federal Cost of Borrowing (Banks) Regulations and applicable provincial consumer credit law (including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act).

If you have any questions, comments, or complaints, you can contact one of our agents at support@paydayhero.ca.
