We care about your privacy. We want you to feel secure and confident when using our website. As such, we will outline below the standards which we will apply when collecting, using and disclosing any of your confidential information.

Much of the information that we may collect, use or disclose in the course of offering services to you will be information that is required to make a better mortgage offer for you. Except for basic account information, such as your name, email address, physical address and telephone numbers, we will rarely collect, use or disclose "Personal Information" as such term is defined in applicable private sector privacy legislation. Nonetheless, we intend to respect and protect the confidentiality of any information which you provide us with in the course of our relationship.

"Personal Information" when used herein means information about an identifiable individual but does not include contact information about a person in their business capacity, such as the name, title, business address, or telephone number of an employee of an organization.

  • (iv) to conduct research, analysis and surveys and to review aggregated non-identifying data to improve our services;
  • (v) to provide non-aggregated, non personally identifiable information to us and to advertisers in order to enable us to offer products and services directly to you;
  • (vi) in order to transfer data to a third party for backup purposes;

  • (x) where required to comply with a statutory requirement, valid court order, warrant or other valid law enforcement purpose.

Siren will not collect, use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than those listed here, without prior notice to you and your consent. We may transfer Personal Information to third parties who are contractually engaged by us to perform certain functions, including the hosting and maintenance of servers upon which the Personal Information is stored and the processing of the Personal Information.

C. Privacy Principles

Unless otherwise stated or where the context dictates otherwise, all of the terms of this privacy policy apply to Personal Information. Siren adheres to the following 10 internationally recognized privacy principles:

I. Accountability

Siren is responsible for maintaining and protecting Personal Information about you in our care or control. We have designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for compliance with our policies.

II. Identifying Purposes

You have a right to know how your information will be used. We will explain why we need your information before or when we collect it, if the purpose is not already clear. We have set out the purpose for which we may use your Personal Information in paragraph A above.

III. Consent

Siren will only collect, use and disclose your Personal Information with your knowledge and consent, except where permitted or as required by law. Except as otherwise set out herein, Siren will not rent, sell, or otherwise distribute your Personal Information without your permission.

At any time a user may prevent future secondary use of your information by "opting out" when Siren collects your information or by contacting us. Opting out only applies to the secondary purposes because we may need to contact you regarding the usability of your product or alert you of important product revisions or updates.

IV. Limiting Collection

Siren will only collect Personal Information for the purposes we've identified or for the primary uses as we've described above. We will always do this fairly and legally.

V. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

Siren will not use or disclose your Personal Information other than for the purposes for which it was collected, with the exception of receiving your consent or as permitted or required by law. When providing information in response to a legal inquiry or order, we will verify its validity and only disclose information that is legally required.

Siren will keep Personal Information only as long as necessary for the identified purposes or as required by law. Siren will follow internally set guidelines and use care in the disposal, destruction, or de-identification of Personal Information to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to Personal Information.
