1.1 Introduction

Interac Corp. (“Interac”) is committed to protecting both the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. In order to operate the Interac e-Transfer service, in accordance with Federal Law, and to reduce the risk of fraud, Interac asks you to provide us information about yourself and about your bank account. We use this information only in accordance with this policy.

1.2 Information We Collect

To deposit an Interac e-Transfer you first register with Interac.

PERSONAL INFORMATION:

Interac is committed to protecting both the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. In order to operate the Interac e-Transfer service, in accordance with Federal Law, and to reduce the risk of fraud, Interac asks you to provide us information about yourself and about your bank account. We use this information only in accordance with this policy.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION:

In order to deposit your Interac e-Transfer, Interac asks you to provide the account number, transit number and institution number for the bank account where the funds are to be deposited. This information is used by Interac and Interac agent bank to deliver the funds to your account.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER:

To further protect against fraud, Interac asks you to provide one piece of identification. At this time, Interac will accept a Canadian social insurance number or a credit card number. If you provide a credit card number, Interac also asks you to provide your billing information. This information is kept in the strictest of confidence and is used solely to verify your personal information. Interac will not bill your credit card. Interac uses your identification number only for verification purposes as described in this section under the heading: Information from Third Parties.

TRANSACTION INFORMATION:

Interac tracks each Interac e-Transfer sent or received through its network. This information includes the payment amount, expiry date of the Interac e-Transfer, name of the originating financial institution, current payment status and status history of the payment. For the Sender, Interac records a name, email address and, if provided, a telephone number. For the Recipient, Interac records a name and either an email address or a telephone number, or both an email address and a telephone number (if both are provided). Interac also records all messages associated with the transfer.

INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTIES:

To protect all users against potential fraud, we use third parties to verify the information you provide. In the course of this verification, we receive personally identifiable information about you from such services. In particular, if you provide credit card information, we will use authorization and fraud screening services of third parties to verify that your card information and address match the information that you supplied to Interac and confirm that the card has not been reported lost or stolen.

INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED:

Like many Web Sites, the Interac e-Transfer site automatically collects non-identifiable information regarding Internet visitors, such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your Web enabled device, the IP address of your Internet Service Provider, the date and time you access the Interac e-Transfer site, the Internet address of the Web Site from which you linked directly to the Interac e-Transfer site, the operating system your Web enabled device is using, the sections of the Interac e-Transfer site that you visit, the Web Site pages read, and images viewed, and the content you download from the Web Site. Interac uses this non-identifiable information for Internet and system administration purposes, to prevent and investigate fraud and to optimize user experience. Interac may disclose this non-identifiable information to others, including to companies located outside of Canada that have been contracted to perform certain functions relating to fraud prevention or investigation on our behalf and as result of this IP addresses and certain device information may be used, stored or accessed in other countries and may be subject to the laws of those countries, and permanently archive it for future use.

We also use Google Analytics, specifically the Demographics and Interest Reporting component of Google Analytics as well as the DoubleClick Campaign Manager, together known as Google Analytics for Display Advertisers. These features are used to derive non-personally identifiable information relating to user level tracking. As a result of these features, you are subject to Google Analytics’ data collection and privacy policy, which is located at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Users who do not wish to have information collected through Google Analytics can opt-out by deleting the cookies in their browser, configuring their browser settings to block the use of cookies, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

COOKIES

The Interac e-Transfer site uses “cookies”, a technology that installs information on an Internet visitor’s Web enabled device to permit Interac to recognize future visits from a user using the same Web enabled device. Cookies enhance the convenience and use of the Interac e-Transfer site. You may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may reduce your ability to use certain features of the Interac e-Transfer site.

Interac may also use information you provide to assemble statistical reporting for our participating financial institutions. Interac may use your information to conduct market research respecting the Interac e-Transfer service. Interac may use your information to compile statistical analysis of the behaviour of customers or groups of customers.

1.5 Retention of Your Information

In order to comply with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, Interac will keep a record of the information that you provide to us.

Interac will not share any of your personally identifiable information with third parties, except in the limited circumstances described above and/or below or with your express permission.

Interac may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:

INTERNAL USES:

We use the information we collect about you in order to provide our services, process your transactions, and to provide customer service.

DISCLOSURE TO OUR AGENTS AND PARTNERS:

Interac offers payment services only in association with its participating financial institutions. Agents and customer service representatives at these financial institutions have access to certain Interac stored information. In response to customer inquiries, they can trace payments, view a customer’s transaction history and access payment details. They cannot, however, access any memos attached to an Interac e-Transfer. Payment memos are considered private communication between the Sender and Recipient and will not be disclosed to agents of Interac or its partners. We disclose information that we, in good faith, believe is appropriate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity or to conduct investigations of violations of our Terms of Use). We also exchange certain information with these financial institutions to allow each of us to establish whether any particular transaction, or series of transactions, needs to be reported to FINTRAC pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act.

DISCLOSURE IN BUSINESS TRANSFERS:

Interac may be involved in the sale, transfer or reorganization of some or all of its business at some time in the future. As part of that sale, transfer or reorganization, Interac may disclose your personal information to the acquiring organization, but will take all reasonable measures to ensure that the acquiring organization agrees to protect the privacy of your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

WHEN REQUIRED TO BY LAW:

Interac may disclose your personal information to a government institution that has asserted its lawful authority to obtain the information or where Interac has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful in the investigation of unlawful activity or to comply with a subpoena or warrant or an order made by a court, person or any other body with jurisdiction to compel the provision of information. Interac may also disclose your personal information in order to comply with court rules regarding the provision of records and information, to Interac’s legal counsel, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

CONTACTING OUR CUSTOMERS:

We communicate with customers on a regular basis by electronic means to provide requested services, and we also communicate by telephone to resolve customer complaints or investigate suspicious transactions. We use your email address and/or telephone number to send you notice of transfers that you receive through the Interac e-Transfer service, and to send notices and other disclosures required by law.

Interac e-Transfer Terms of Use

Last updated: August 7^th, 2021

1.1 Introduction

Interac Corp., (“Interac”), is the provider of the Interac e-Transfer^® service (previously Interac^® Email Money Transfer offered by Interac’s predecessor, Acxsys Corporation), including Interac e-Transfer^®Bulk, Interac e-Transfer^® for Business, Request Money and Autodeposit (collectively, the “Interac e-Transfer service”). If you have received an email or text message from the Interac e-Transfer service, it is because (i) you are the sender of an Interac e-Transfer transaction or a request to send an Interac e-Transfer transaction (“Request Money”) via your participating financial institution; (ii) you are the recipient of an Interace-Transfer transaction and the sender has provided us with your name and contact information via their participating financial institution; (iii) you are the recipient of a Request Money and the sender has provided us with your name and contact information via their participating financial institution; or (iv) you have registered for the automatic deposit feature of the Interac e-Transfer service (“Autodeposit”). If you have an account at one of Interac e-Transfer’s participating financial institutions, you can choose to receive or make a payment through that institution’s online banking service. By using the Interac e-Transfer service, including by accessing any of Interac’s websites (including but not limited to www.interac.ca) or the Interac e-Transfer gateway page (collectively, the “Sites”), you are agreeing to these terms and conditions as more fully set out in section 1.5. If you do not agree with all of these terms and conditions, please contact the sender of Interac e-Transfer funds or the requester of Interac e-Transfer funds to arrange another method of payment.

1.2 Definitions:

When we use the words “we” or “us” or “Interac” in these terms and conditions, we mean Interac, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as applicable.

1.3 The Interac e-Transfer Service:

The Interac e-Transfer service is a payment service that lets one person or business make or receive a payment to or from another electronically. See how it works by visiting https://www.interac.ca/en/interac-e-transfer-consumer. Interac only facilitates Interac e-Transfer transactions. Interac is not a financial institution and is not subject to banking regulations. For banking services, you should contact one of the Interac e-Transfer participating financial institutions.

1.4 Privacy:

Interac may be required to collect limited personal information about you in order to complete Interac e-Transfer transactions. The collection and use of that information is subject to our Privacy Notice, available here, and which may be updated from time to time. Please review our Privacy Notice carefully for a full description of the information we collect, why we need it, how we use it, and how we protect it. Any references in our Privacy Notice to Acxsys Corporation also include Interac, Acxsys Corporation’s legal successor. Acceptance of our Privacy Notice is deemed when Interac e-Transfer services are used.

1.5 Agreement to Terms and Conditions:

By accessing the Interac e-Transfer gateway page or by otherwise using the Interac e-Transfer service, you are agreeing (a) to these terms and conditions, (b) that you have read and understood them, and (c) that you are bound by them and will comply with them. You are also agreeing to your financial institution’s terms and conditions when you access your financial institution’s website to deposit, send payments, use Request Money or register for Autodeposit via the Interac e-Transfer service.

Interac may make changes to these terms and conditions at any time. Any changes we make will be effective immediately once posted on the Sites and you are bound by the terms and conditions in effect at the time that you access the Sites. A copy of the terms and conditions are available on the Sites, and you may review them at any time. We encourage you to print a copy of these terms and conditions and any updates for your own files.

1.6 Use of the Interac e-Transfer Service:

a) You may only use the Interac e-Transfer service to send your own funds and to collect funds that are intended for you in accordance with your financial institution’s terms and conditions. You may not use the service to collect transactions where you are not the intended recipient.

b) You may only use the Interac e-Transfer service to send your own funds or deposit funds to your own account in accordance with your financial institution’s terms and conditions. You may not use the service to deposit transactions to a bank account for which you are not the account holder or an account for which you are not a legal signatory. You may not use the service to deposit transactions on behalf of a third party. You may not use the service to send funds from another person’s account.

c) When an Interac e-Transfer transaction is sent to you, the sending financial institution will hold the funds for you until you either deposit the transferred funds, the Interac e-Transfer transaction is cancelled, or the Interac e-Transfer transaction expires. You will not earn interest on the funds during the time that the funds are held in a clearing account at one of our participating financial institutions.

d) Once our records show that you have deposited an Interac e-Transfer transaction, the Interac e-Transfer transaction will be final.

e) Until you have attempted to deposit the Interac e-Transfer transaction or the transaction has been automatically deposited, the sender may cancel the Interac e-Transfer transaction and you will no longer have a right to collect the Interac e-Transfer transaction. Interac may also decline to process or complete the Interac e-Transfer transaction because: you have supplied incorrect information; you cannot answer the sender’s question; your personal or business information cannot be verified; Interac or a participating financial institution suspects that you, or any other party to the transaction is involved in illegal or wrongful activity; or the Interac e-Transfer transaction exceeds a transaction limit. If the Interac e-Transfer transaction cannot be completed, we will automatically notify the sender that it must be cancelled. If the Interac e-Transfer transaction is cancelled for any of the above reasons, your sole remedy for non-payment is against the sender and you will have no claim against Interac.

f) In order to process Interac e-Transfer transactions and verify your personal information, you authorize us to disclose any personal information provided to us by you or on your behalf to the applicable participating financial institution and to other carefully selected third parties who may check the accuracy of such personal information and may provide verification of such personal information based on information they have previously collected about you.

g) You agree that you will not (i) use any robot, spider, offline reader, site search application, site retrieval application or other device, tool, or process (whether manual or automatic) to: access the Interac e-Transfer service or the Sites; retrieve any Interac e-Transfer transactions; or retrieve, index or data mine the Interac e-Transfer service the Sites; or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Interac e-Transfer service or the Sites or their respective contents, including with respect to any CAPTCHA displayed, unless expressly authorized by us in writing and you agree that we may revoke any such authorization at any time; (ii) use any automated software or computer system to search for, retrieve, process or otherwise allocate Interac e-Transfer transactions unless expressly authorized by us in writing, and you agree that we may revoke any such authorization at any time; (iii) take any action that imposes or may impose (in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; or (iv) use the Interac e-Transfer service or the Sites, alone or in conjunction with any device, program or service, in an attempt to circumvent any technological measure that effectively controls access to, or the rights in, the Interac e-Transfer service, the Sites or any Interac e-Transfer transaction in any way including, without limitation, by manual or automatic device or process, for any purpose whatsoever; (v) use, permit the use of, or advocate, promote, assist or facilitate the use of the Interac e-Transfer service or the Sites in a manner that is, in whole or in part: (A) criminal in nature, gives rise to civil liability or otherwise violates applicable law; or (B) harassing, hateful, illegal, profane, obscene, defamatory, threatening, injurious, discriminatory or that promotes or encourages inappropriate activity.

b) Exclusion of Warranties: You expressly understand and agree that Interac provides an intermediary service only. Interac’s only obligation is to carry out the Interac e-Transfer payment instructions by inviting you to collect or send an Interac e-Transfer transaction through the Interac e-Transfer service. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Interac expressly disclaims any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the services we render and with respect to the transactions between you and other parties, including any warranty of title, non-infringement, accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or warranties that may arise from course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade. You assume all liability and risk arising from your acceptance or creation of Interac e-Transfer transactions through Interac or otherwise, including any liability or risk that an Interac e-Transfer transaction was improperly sent to or requested from you, that you may be required to return the Interac e-Transfer transaction or associated funds for any reason, that the Interac e-Transfer transaction was illegal, or that you may legally be required to turn the Interac e-Transfer transaction or any associated funds over to another person for any reason.

1. THE SERVICE

The Service is provided and operated by Interac. Interac will not charge you a fee to use the Service.

In order to register to use the Service, you will be required to select a financial institution with which you have an online banking relationship to create your Interac verification service account.

During your initial registration to use the Service and prior to each use of the Service, your Financial Institution will authenticate you using your Credentials. The use of your Credentials to authenticate you is subject to and governed by the terms of your agreement with your Financial Institution.

This Financial Institution will then, for the purposes of the Service, become your first Identity & Data Provider. The Personal Information your Financial Institution has about you and which may be shown as part of the registration process will be your initial User Information for the Service. If any of your displayed initial User Information is incorrect, you must discontinue the registration process and contact your Financial Institution to update your information. After updating your information, you may attempt to register for the Service again.

After registration, (1) you will have an opportunity to add additional Identity & Data Providers as connections, and (2) additional User Information from your Identity & Data Providers, including your Financial Institution, may be added to your Interac verification service account.

The Service allows you to authorize your selected Identity & Data Providers to share certain of your User Information with a Relying Party to facilitate your interactions with the Relying Party (or if that Relying Party is another Identity & Data Provider, to facilitate its addition as a connection and enable your future sharing transactions). No User Information will be shared without your authorization, except to the extent such User Information may be shared with your mobile telecommunications provider or its authorized agent for the purposes of (1) verifying your mobile number associated with your Electronic Access Device, if any, or (2) completing certain security assessments associated with your Electronic Access Device.

Except (1) in connection with a specific transaction where you expressly agree, (2) where the identity of the Identity & Data Provider or Relying Party is evident due to the nature of the transaction, the User Information that you agree to share or the then current participants in the Service, (3) as required by law, or (4) if an investigation is required (for example, as a result of an actual (or suspected) unauthorized transaction):
- an Identity & Data Provider will not know which Relying Party receives your User Information, and
- a Relying Party will not know which Identity & Data Provider(s) provide your User Information.
Certain aspects of the Service may differ depending on whether you use the Interac verification service mobile app or the Interac verification service web application. Certain features or functionality may also be limited or not available in the web application. For example, your list of connections and activity log will not be accessible via the web application.

If you subsequently use the Interac verification service mobile app after registering for or using the Service via the web application, your profile information, including any of your connections and activity log, will be accessible to you in the Interac verification service mobile app.

If you register for or use the Service using the Interac verification service mobile app, and subsequently try to use the web application, you will be redirected to the mobile app and will not be able to complete transactions using the web application.

2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE OF YOUR ELECTRONIC ACCESS DEVICE, YOUR CREDENTIALS AND THE ACCURACY OF YOUR USER INFORMATION

Your obligation to protect your Electronic Access Device, your Credentials, and the other information that you use to access and use your Electronic Access Device may be governed by your agreement with your Financial Institution. You will not be able to access the Service if your Financial Institution suspends or revokes your Credentials. If you suspect unauthorized use of your Credentials to access the Service, you should immediately notify your Financial Institution. Once the Service has been accessed using your Credentials, you are responsible for any instruction or consent given regarding your User Information, including any sharing transaction where your User Information has been provided to a Relying Party or another Identity & Data Provider. You must close the browser session of the Interac verification service web application upon completion of an Interac verification service transaction.

You will have an opportunity to review certain of your User Information maintained by the applicable Identity & Data Provider(s) that the Relying Party has requested be shared before you agree to share information with that Relying Party. You are responsible for ensuring that any such User Information is accurate and up to date. You are also responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your User Information in the systems of the applicable Identity & Data Provider(s) before you share it. If any User Information is inaccurate, you agree to notify the Identity & Data Provider that maintains such User Information before you agree to share that User Information through the Service. In addition, you agree that you will not knowingly use the Service to share any inaccurate User Information.

3. PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you agree to share User Information from your Identity & Data Provider(s) with a Relying Party through the Service, you are providing express consent to share all Personal Information that is included in such User Information. Although your User Information was originally collected by or on behalf of your Identity & Data Provider(s) under their respective terms and privacy policies, when you authorize your User Information to be shared with a Relying Party through the Service, you consent to the handling of all User Information shared through the Service (including all Personal Information) in accordance with this Agreement, including, for greater certainty, the Privacy Notice.

For more information about the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as part of the Service, please see the Privacy Notice.

Once your User Information has been sent to a Relying Party through the Service with your consent (other than to another Identity & Data Provider for the purposes of adding them as a connection), it is handled in accordance with the Relying Party’s privacy policy, its agreements with you, and all applicable laws.

When you share your User Information with a Relying Party that is another Identity & Data Provider for the purposes of adding them as a connection, that Identity & Data Provider is only entitled to use and handle that User Information for the purposes of attempting to match that information with information about you in its or its service provider’s systems or records to facilitate their addition as a connection and for no other purpose. Subject to this agreed limited use, your User Information is collected, used, disclosed and retained by the Identity & Data Provider in accordance with its privacy policy, any agreements it has with you and all applicable laws.

Neither Interac, nor any Identity & Data Provider is responsible or liable for any use or disclosure by any Relying Party of User Information provided to that Relying Party through the Service.

How we collect and use your information

REGISTRATION

The Service registration process requires you to select the financial institution in Canada that is participating in the Service (“Financial Institution” or “FI”) that you have an active and existing business relationship with to create your Interac verification service profile, which will form the basis of your Canadian Interac verification service account (the “Interac® verification service”). This FI will become your first Identity & Data Provider.

As part of the registration process, and prior to each use of the Service, your FI will authenticate you using your existing banking credentials that you use for authentication purposes to access services at your FI or which are otherwise required by your FI to access the Service, such as username, password, card number, biometric identifiers (including fingerprints, voice patterns and facial recognition), one-time passcode or other information (collectively, “Credentials”). Once you are initially authenticated by your FI, your FI will create and store an individualized Interac verification service account identifier for you which is distinct from your Credentials and will register this identifier with the Service.

Following your successful authentication using your Credentials during the registration process, your selected FI will provide a summary of your User Information available for you to share with Relying Parties. If any of your User Information displayed during registration is incorrect, you must discontinue the registration process and contact your FI to update your User Information in its files, to the extent required.

CONSENT TO SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

The Service allows you to authorize your selected Identity & Data Providers to share certain of your User Information with a Relying Party to facilitate your interactions with the Relying Party (or if that Relying Party is another Identity & Data Provider, to facilitate its addition as a connection) with your express consent. Although your User Information was collected by or on behalf of your FI and other Identity & Data Providers under their respective terms and privacy policies, when you authorize your User Information to be shared with a Relying Party (including a Relying Party that is another Identity & Data Provider solely for the purposes of adding them as a connection through the Service), it is collected, used, disclosed, stored, retained, processed and safeguarded by the Service under the terms of this Privacy Notice and, as noted above, only with your express consent.

When you share your User Information with a Relying Party that is another Identity & Data Provider for the purposes of adding them as a connection, that Identity & Data Provider is only entitled to use and handle that User Information for the purposes of attempting to match that information with information about you in the Identity & Data Provider’s system to facilitate their addition as a connection and for no other purpose. Subject to this agreed limited use, your User Information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, stored, processed and safeguarded by the Identity & Data Provider in accordance with its privacy policy, any agreements it has with you and all applicable laws.

Interac may, but is not obligated to, monitor the Service in an effort to identify unauthorized use and to protect users and Service participants (namely, FIs and other Identity & Data Providers and Relying Parties).

Activity Data collected or generated by the Service also includes information about activities that occur with your Interac verification service account, including, for example, your registration with the Service, successful and failed logins from your electronic access device (as defined below), information about your electronic access device, such as its model, operating system, device ID and MAC address, connections established with new Identity & Data Providers, and consents to share your User Information. (For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, “electronic access device” includes your cell phone, smart phone, mobile device, desktop or personal computer, tablet or other electronic device that you may use to access the Service.) Certain details about these activities are stored and viewable in your Interac verification service mobile application activity log (which is not viewable in the web application). This activity log does not contain your Credentials or any of your User Information that you have agreed to have an Identity & Data Provider send to a Relying Party through the Service.

MOBILE PHONE NUMBER COLLECTION AND USE BY RELYING PARTY IN RELATION TO THE Interac® verification service

A Relying Party may collect and use your mobile phone number to send you a link (via text message) to engage with the Service. The mobile phone number that you provide for this purpose is collected by the Relying Party (not by Interac) and is subject to the Relying Party’s privacy policy and any other agreement it may have with you.

Protecting your information

All of your User Information that you authorize an Identity & Data Provider to share with a Relying Party through the Service will be protected with security mechanisms intended to prevent your User Information from being identified, accessed or misused when it is sent through the Service.

Your Activity Data is stored in protected form. Only authorized personnel will have the ability to retrieve Activity Data from the Service’s audit systems. Details of certain activities are available to you through the activity log in your Interac verification service mobile application (which is not available in the web application).

Disclosing your information

The Service allows you to authorize your selected Identity & Data Providers to share certain of your User Information with a Relying Party to facilitate your interactions with the Relying Party (or if that Relying Party is another Identity & Data Provider, to facilitate its addition as a connection) with your express consent. Because your User Information may include private or confidential Personal Information, please ensure that you understand how it will be used and further disclosed by a Relying Party before giving your consent to share any of your User Information.

Interac may report suspected fraudulent activity to Service participants, including the FI you selected when first registering for the Service, or other parties as permitted or required by law, and certain of your Personal Information may be included in those reports to assist with fraud prevention, detection, investigation and remediation.

In connection with providing the Service, Interac may transfer or provide access to your Personal Information to outside agents or service providers that perform services on our behalf (e.g., data hosting or processing services), or that otherwise collect, use, disclose, store, retain, process or safeguard information on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. Interac requires such service providers to maintain comparable protections over Personal Information shared with them.

We may also disclose Personal Information: (a) to any governmental authority where required by law, (b) in response to a court order, subpoena, discovery rule, or other lawful request, (c) as otherwise required under any applicable law, rule, or regulation, (d) in good faith, if an investigation is required (for example, as a result of a potential privacy breach or unauthorized transaction(s)), or (e) to protect or defend our rights or property or those of other persons.

If we sell our business or any part thereof that operates any portion of the Service, we may transfer Activity Data to prospective purchasers to the extent necessary to enable consideration of the transaction. We may also transfer any Personal Information in our control at the time of such a transaction to the purchaser so that the purchaser can continue to operate the Service after the transaction has been completed.

Storing and retaining your information

When you consent to the sharing of your User Information from an Identity & Data Provider to a Relying Party through the Service, your User Information is temporarily held in our networks to facilitate the successful transfer. Information is purged from the network in accordance with our record retention policies.

User Information that is made available on your electronic access device for your review before you consent to having it shared with a Relying Party by the applicable Identity & Data Provider(s) is maintained within the Identity & Data Provider’s systems and is not stored locally on your electronic access device.

Other information that we generate or collect in order to provide the Service, such as account identifiers and other Activity Data, is only retained for as long as necessary to administer the Service.

Activity Data is stored by the Service for legal, regulatory, suspected fraudulent activity investigations and dispute resolution purposes in accordance with our record retention rules.

Personal Information that is stored by the Service is maintained on our servers, or those of our service providers, and is accessible only by our authorized employees, representatives and service providers who require access in connection with their responsibilities.

Suspending or closing your Interac® verification service account

Authorized personnel of Interac or its service providers supporting the operation of the Service have the ability to suspend or delete (close) your Interac verification service account in accordance with the Interac verification service Terms and Conditions governing your use of the Service. In the event your Interac verification service account is suspended and you wish to have it re-activated, you can obtain information at https://www.interac.ca/en/consumers/support/faq-consumers/#faq-interac-verification-service . You may also wish to contact your FI’s Customer Support team to obtain additional details and required steps in order to reactivate your Interac verification service account.

You may discontinue your use of the Service at any time by closing your Interac verification service account.

You may close your Interac verification service account in the mobile application by following the steps listed in the ‘Delete Interac® verification service Account’ section of the Interac verification service mobile application. If you are using the Interac verification service web application, please follow the steps outlined here: How to Close your Interac® verification service Account. You may also be able to close your Interac verification service account through your FI.

Closing your Interac verification service account will mean that you no longer have an active Interac verification service account, you will not be able to initiate new transactions to share your User Information with Relying Parties, sharing transactions that you previously authorized may not be completed, and you will not have access to any transaction records that summarize previous Interac verification service account activities. However, closing your Interac verification service account will not affect (1) any of your User Information held by your Identity & Data Providers or previously shared with your Relying Parties, (2) any transaction records or other Activity Data maintained by the Service; or (3) any Personal Information which you have provided for use with other services.

If you wish to use the Service in the future after closing your Interac verification service account, you will need to complete the Service registration process again and set up a new Interac verification service account. You can use your existing Credentials to open your new Interac verification service account.

Deleting the Interac verification service mobile application from your electronic access device will not close your Interac verification service account and will not affect any sharing transaction that you previously authorized. You will be able to access your Interac verification service account in the future by reinstalling the Interac verification service mobile application on your electronic access device and re-entering your then current Credentials for your FI.

Accessing and correcting your information

Your User Information resides with your applicable Identity & Data Providers and with Relying Parties with which you have chosen to share it. Although your User Information may be shared with Relying Parties (with your consent) via the Service, Interac is not an Identity & Data Provider. Requests for access to your User Information, including requests to correct or modify it, must therefore be made by you directly to your Identity & Data Providers or Relying Parties.

In connection with sharing transactions, you will have an opportunity to view a summary of certain of your User Information within the Interac verification service application before you authorize your User Information to be shared with a Relying Party. The viewable User Information will be displayed within the Interac verification service application. For mobile app users, even when you are not engaged in a sharing transaction, you may have an opportunity to view certain of your User Information that is maintained by Identity & Data Providers that you have connected to. The Identity & Data Providers may provide you with details on how to update or correct your User Information within the Identity & Data Provider’s files, or you may have to contact them to update or correct your User Information.

You may access your activity log information through your Interac verification service mobile application (which is not accessible in the Interac verification service web application).

You can obtain additional information on how to access or correct your Personal Information by visiting our Support Centre at https://www.interac.ca/en/consumers/support/faq-consumers/#faq_98665.

Notifications

Depending on the FI you select to associate your Interac verification service account with, you may receive notifications of some of your Service activities from your FI, such as registration completion and on authentication events occurring within your Interac verification service account. These notifications are intended to provide you with information on Service usage so that you may act upon notifications that you do not recognize as yours. None of the Relying Parties or Identity & Data Providers that participate in the Service are permitted to send you unprompted emails or text messages asking for personal details through the Service.

Dispute resolution, questions or concerns

In the event you identify transaction(s) that you have not authorized or receive a notification from your FI regarding (or otherwise become aware of) unauthorized activity with your Interac verification service account, please contact customer support of your FI with which you associated your Interac verification service account. Upon your authorization, your FI’s customer support personnel will be able to retrieve your Interac verification service activity information and work with you to report unauthorized transactions to Interac and/or its service providers.

General queries or concerns on the privacy aspects of the Service may be directed to the Interac Privacy Officer. Contact details are provided below.

Third party participants

This Privacy Notice applies to the collection, use, disclosure, storage and retention of Personal Information in connection with the operation of the Service by Interac and its service providers, including third parties that host and operate certain components of the Service on behalf of Interac. This Privacy Notice does not apply to your FI or any of the Identity & Data Providers and Relying Parties that use, handle, disclose or retain your Personal Information in connection with your dealings with them that are distinct from the Service, and such parties will be governed by their own privacy policies and agreements with you when they collect, use, disclose, store, retain, process or safeguard your User Information in the ordinary course of their dealings with you outside of the Service.

Privacy Notice changes

This Privacy Notice is effective as of the date shown above and may be revised from time to time. We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice frequently to obtain the current version. Your continued use of the Service following any changes to this Privacy Notice constitutes your acceptance of any such changes.

We may also collect device data including browser and site/app usage information, device identifiers, internet protocol (IP) address, broad location data, information about the device you are using to access the service (for example the operating system used, whether the device is providing false randomized device and network information or has otherwise been compromised) and how you interact with the device, our website or app. The information is collected automatically as you interact with our services (through the use of our website or app) and through standard web technologies (e.g. JavaScript code). We may also collect personal information forming part of a fraud report.

3. How do we use personal information?

We collect your personal information:
- To provide you or third parties with services, including document validation through the Interac document verification service and other digital identity services;
- To provide support for our services, to respond to your queries and to send you information about our services;
- On behalf of certain eligible service providers (each, a “Relying Party”) that participate in the Interac verification service operated by Interac, provided that Interac hosts certain components required for a Relying Party’s use of the Interac verification service;
- For legitimate business purposes, including record keeping and to protect our rights, to enforce our policies;
- To create aggregate information to enhance and optimize our services; and

- As required by law, to a government or regulatory authority in response to a legal investigation;
- In response to a court order, subpoena, discovery request or other lawful judicial or administrative proceeding;
- As otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;
- In good faith, to protect or defend the rights or property of Interac and other customers or users; and

The file containing your personal information will be maintained on our servers or those of our service provider(s) and will be accessible by authorized employees, contractors and service providers who require access for the purposes described in this policy. We have implemented technical, organizational and physical security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and that follow standard industry practices to safeguard your personal information. These measures are designed to protect your information from unauthorized, accidental or unlawful access, disclosure, use and modification. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods.

It is your responsibility to inform us of any inaccurate personal information about you that is provided to us. You can request to access, correct, update, and delete your personal information at any time by contacting our Privacy Office.

8. How do you withdraw your consent to this policy?

You may withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information about you at any time.  To do this, please contact our Privacy Office.  Withdrawal of your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information may result in us being unable to continue to provide services to you, including being unable to validate any images or documents through our services.

If you request to delete your personal information, we will fulfil your request, but some personal information may persist in backup copies for a certain period of time, and may be retained as necessary for legal purposes, in accordance with this policy and applicable laws.

Please note however, that once you submit your personal information to Interac, you will not be able to cancel the service transaction, nor will you be able to stop the generation of information (including personal information) by the service, nor will you be able to withdraw your consent to its use by or disclosure to your authorized third-party recipients.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13.  If we become aware that we have inadvertently captured any personal information about a person who is under 13 years of age, we will take the appropriate steps to delete any such personal information.

12. Other Important Information

We use technology that leverages machine learning models and/or human powered processes that allows us to create reports generated from results from services rendered.

When you use the Interac document verification service to help verify your identity to a third-party service provider, we provide the third-party service provider involved in the document validation transaction with a copy of the report which contains a breakdown of the results of various checks we’ve conducted and may contain an overall recommendation related to next steps.

All personal information shared through the Services shall be handled in accordance with this Agreement and our Privacy Statement. When you authorize your User Data, including any personal information, to be shared with a Relying Party through the Interac verification service, the Interacverification service user terms and conditions apply.

We may disclose any information that we have about you (including your identity and other personal information) if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding your use of our Services (for example, as a result of an actual (or suspected) unauthorized transaction), or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, or the rights or property of our service providers or users of our Services, provided such information will be disclosed only in accordance with our Privacy Statement.
