Privacy policy

Overview

By using the BORO website or SERVICE, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service . If you do not agree to any of these TERMS, please do not use the BORO  website or service.

Information collected

The business of BORO Business Solutions Inc. (BORO) is marketing and involves the collection of basic levels of Personal Information (PI) from individuals who are interested in business loan solutions, and the referral of this information to approved lending partners (PARTNERS), who provide business lending services in Canada.

We use advertising, for example on social media networks, to attract business owners that may be well suited for services offered by our PARTNERS. We are open about what we do, and this Privacy Policy sets out how we collect PI, what we do with it, who we give it to, how we keep it safe and how long we store it for. 

Staying anonymous

You can browse our website anonymously, although cookies may be collected to improve website performance. You will not be able to access forms or questionnaires anonymously. 

Data collection

We only collect PI when you expressly provide it to us. This generally occurs when you complete an online form, survey, or questionnaire for the purposes of discovering business loan solutions available to you.

We collect the minimum amount of PI needed to be able to refer it to our PARTNERS, so they are able to pre-qualify and follow up with you about the business loan service(s) you have expressed interest in. 

This information includes:

  • Name

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Business name

  • Business category

  • Average monthly revenue

  • # of employees

  • Time in business

We will not seek sensitive personal data from you, such as health details or information revealing your religious beliefs or ethnic origin. 

 

Consent to be contacted

By completing a BORO loan inquiry form, you are authorizing prospective lending PARTNERS to use the PI you provided to call, text or email you about lending services offered.

You agree that this consent applies even if the number(s) that you provided are currently on any provincial, federal or corporate Do-Not-Call registry.  

You also understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of receiving any credit or services from any third party lender.

Once we have delivered your PI to a BORO PARTNER, that PARTNER may request additional PI and they will treat your PI in accordance with their privacy policy. 

Our PARTNERS have their own privacy policies in relation to the data they hold or process. You may ask them about their privacy policy when they contact you. 

Cookies

When you use the BORO website, we may use Google Analytics or a similar service to send one or more cookies (which are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer or mobile device, to help analyze our page performance and measure promotional effectiveness.

Additionally, social media links may place cookies on your system. We are not responsible for the processing by these other organizations such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Collection of data of minors 

We do not intend to collect the PI of persons under the age of 18. If you are the guardian of a minor and suspect they may have provided us with their personal information, please contact us and request to have the minor’s personal information destroyed.

Security and retention of Personal Information

We maintain appropriate technical infrastructure and organizational measures designed to protect the confidentiality, and security of your PI. However, no system or security measure is perfect or impenetrable. We therefore cannot guarantee and do not warrant the absolute security of your PI.

We retain your personal information for no longer than reasonably necessary (typically 30 days) to deliver the BORO service, and/or comply with applicable law.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

It is important to us that our privacy policy is regularly reviewed and we will do so to keep it relevant and up to date with changing laws. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page. This privacy policy was last updated September 2022.
