This Privacy Policy outlines Weisz Choice Mortgage Group (" we ", " our " or " the Company ") practices with respect to information collected from users who access our website at www.weiszchoice.com (" Site "), or otherwise share personal information with us (collectively: " Users "). 

To provide members, customers, suppliers, contractors and supporters with various programs, services and activities, Weisz Choice Mortgage Group may gather and use personal information. Any such information will be carefully protected, and any use of the information is in accordance with consent.

Consent to Use of Information

We do not rent, sell, or share Users’ information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.

To collect and/or use an individual’s personal information, consent is required. Consent can either be express or implied and be can provided directly by the individual or by someone authorized to provide such consent. Weisz Choice Mortgage Group will obtain your express consent to collect, use, and/or disclose personal information, except where we are authorized or required by law to do so without consent. 

Processing of your personal information (meaning, any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means; hereinafter " Personal Information ") is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and providing you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests and for compliance with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject. When you use the Site, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other uses of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage our Users to carefully read the Privacy Policy and use it to make informed decisions. Implied consent is consent that can be reasonably be inferred from an individual’s action or inaction.

In certain circumstances personal information can be collected, used or disclosed without knowledge and consent if seeking the consent of the person might defeat the purpose of collecting the information such as in the investigation of a breach of an agreement or a contravention of a federal or provincial law. Weisz Choice Mortgage Group may from time to time engage outside suppliers, including technology providers.

At any time, you may withdraw consent, with exceptions being where Weisz Choice Mortgage Group is legally bound to provide information or notice to you, or where contractual restrictions prevent such withdrawal. Take note that the withdrawal of consent in certain instances means that the Company will not be able to provide you with certain services, privileges, programs, etc. If the withdrawal of consent is of such a character that membership is not possible or no longer possible, you will be notified of this.

Collection of Data

We collect two types of data and information from Users. 

The first type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a User(s), which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Site (“ Non-personal Information ”). We are not aware of the identity of a User from which the Non-personal Information was collected. Non-personal Information which is being collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.) in order to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site (e.g. pages viewed, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.).

Personal information is any information that can be used to distinguish, identify, or contact a specific individual. Exceptions: business contact information and certain publicly available information, such as names, addresses and contact details as published in publicly available directories or sources, are not considered personal information.

We receive your Personal Information from various sources:

• When you voluntarily provide us your personal details in order to register on our Site;

• When you use or access our Site in connection with your use of our services;

• From third party providers, services and public registers (for example, traffic analytics vendors).
  

Your Personal Information may be used for the following purposes:

• To communicate with you and to keep you informed of our latest updates and services; notices regarding our services, providing you with technical information and responding to any customer service issue you may have;
  

• To serve you advertisements when you use our Site (see more under "Advertisements"); 
  

• To market our websites and products (see more under "Marketing"); 
  

• Conducting statistical and analytical purposes, intended to improve the Site.

In addition to the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, we may share Personal Information with our trusted third party providers, who may be located in different jurisdictions across the world, for any of the following purposes:

• Providing you with our services, including providing a personalized display of our Site;
  
• Storing and processing such information on our behalf; 
• Serving you with advertisements and assist us in evaluating the success of our advertising campaigns and help us retarget any of our users;
• Providing you with marketing offers and promotional materials related to our Site and services; 
• Performing research, technical diagnostics or analytics;

We are not liable for how any third-party service providers may collect, use or at any time disclose any personal or non-personal information related to the access and use of their services. We recommend that the User communicate directly with the 'Third Party' for any concerns regarding how their information is used.

Disclosure of Information

We may also disclose information if we have good faith to believe that disclosure of such information is helpful or reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce our policies (including our Agreement), including investigations of potential violations thereof; (iii) investigate, detect, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or other wrongdoing, suspected fraud or security issues; (iv) to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; (v) prevent harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users, yourself or any third party; or (vi) for the purpose of collaborating with law enforcement agencies and/or in case we find it necessary in order to enforce intellectual property or other legal rights.

It may take up to sixty days for Weisz Choice Mortgage Group to provide you with certain information. If additional time is required or if the information is not available to the Company to provide to you, you will be notified.

In some situations, we may not be able to provide access to personal information. This may be the case where, for example, disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual, the personal information is protected by solicitor/client privilege, the information was collected for the purposes of an investigation, disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information that, if disclosed, could harm the competitive position of Weisz Choice Mortgage Group or where Weisz Choice Mortgage Group maintains solicitor client privilege. Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing, document the reasons for refusal and outline further steps which are available to you.

You may request to: 

1. Receive confirmation as to whether or not personal information concerning you is being processed, and access your stored personal information, together with supplementary information. 
   
2. Receive a copy of personal information you directly volunteer to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. 
3. Request rectification of your personal information that is in our control.
   
4. Request erasure of your personal information. 
   

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal data, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations. 

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.
