HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We have a secure server software (SSL) solution, which encrypts all the information that you input before it is sent to us, and encrypts all the information that we send to you.

WHY DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION AND HOW DO WE USE IT?
We collect and safely store information pertaining to your name, e-mail, phone number, address and payment method to fulfill and process your transactions and to track your order status.If you ask to be informed of future services and site enhancements, we will need your e-mail address in order to send you the information you requested. When you order our newsletter, we may ask for your name, address, e-mail address, and other demographic information so that we can gather knowledge of who our customers are, what they want, and administer to their needs promptly. We tailor our site to the interest of our customers by using their orders to shape our recommendations about services (for example, types of funding available in specific Canadian locations) that might be of interest to them. We also monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop the design and layout of the site. We may also occasionally use the information we collect to notify you about important changes in the functioning of our web site, new services and special offers that we think you will find useful. If you would rather not receive this information, you can contact us at anytime at unsubscribe@grants-loans.com. We might occasionally ask you to tell us about your experience with us. These short surveys will be completely optional. None of this data is associated with any individual's name. We then work with this anonymous data to tailor our future offers to your needs and to the needs of our future customers.

If you disclose your information to other parties (for example, a business-related client or service on our web site), different rules may apply. The Centre for Small Business Financing cannot control the privacy policies of third parties and therefore you should take care when disclosing personally identifiable information to others.
