The Tangerine Privacy Code forms part of these terms and conditions, and applies to your relationship with us. A full explanation about how, when and why we may collect, use and disclose your information, as well as your rights relating to that information can be found here.

Information we collect about you

Information that we collect about you will often come from you directly (for example, when you apply for a new product). We may tell you that certain information is mandatory. If you do not provide personal information that is required for a particular product or service, then we may not be able to provide it, or meet all our obligations to you. We may also collect information about you from other sources, including information from credit agencies (for example, where you apply for credit, or where we must identify you), people appointed to act on your behalf, our social media pages, or other banks or financial institutions (for example, where you have switched your accounts to us, or where we have received information to investigate incorrect payments).

How we use your information

We will process your information where you have provided us with consent to use it, where processing will allow us to take actions that are necessary to provide you with the product or service you want, to allow us to meet our legal obligations (for example, to identify you), to understand how Clients use our services or to manage our risks. We may also use your information to send you messages, either by post, telephone, text message, email or other digital methods, including through ABMs, apps, and online banking services. These messages may be to help you manage your Account, to meet our regulatory obligations, to inform you about product or service features or to tell you about products and services (including those of other companies) that may be of interest to you.

Who we will share your information with

We will keep your information confidential, but we may share it with third parties (who also have to keep it secure and confidential) in certain circumstances, including: the Scotiabank Group of Companies† (for example, for marketing purposes or internal reporting where those companies provide services to us), payment processing services (for example, credit card networks), our service providers and their agents (for example, collection agents, statement printers), fraud prevention agencies, and other banks or financial institutions. Some of these third parties may be located outside Quebec or Canada.

† The Scotiabank Group of Companies means The Bank of Nova Scotia and its affiliates who provide deposit, investment, loan, securities, trust, insurance and other products and services.

Keeping your information

We will keep your information for as long as you are our Client. Once our relationship has ended, we will only keep your information for so long as is appropriate for the type of information, and the purpose for which we’re retaining it. The period we keep your information for is generally linked to the amount of time available for you to bring a legal claim. We may keep the information longer than this, if there an existing claim or complaint that will require us to keep your information or for regulatory or technical reasons. If we do keep it for a longer period, we will continue to protect your information.

Automated Processing and Decision Making

The way we analyze your personal information may involve automated decisions. That is, we may process your personal information using software that can evaluate your personal circumstances and other factors to address risks or outcomes. We may use such methods to make decisions about you relating to credit checks, identity and address checks, monitoring your Account(s) for fraud or other financial crime or for other reasons that we’ll disclose to you.

Your rights and how to refuse or withdraw your consent

You have certain rights over the personal information we hold about you, including the right to ask for a copy of the information, to correct or rectify personal information that we hold about you or not to use your information for a particular purpose (i.e. withdraw consent). Note that your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors, and in some situations, we may not be able to agree to your request. You can refuse to consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, or you may withdraw your consent to our further collection, use or disclosure of your personal information at any time by giving us reasonable notice, subject to limited exceptions. This includes withdrawing your consent to use your Social Insurance Number to verify credit information or to confirm your identity. More information about withdrawing your consent and about any of the items described in this section is available here.

If you have a Mortgage Account with us, we may share information about you, including credit information and the amount of your Mortgage, to mortgage insurers for the purposes of offering and administering mortgage insurance, or to a creditor where you are in default of an obligation to that creditor.
