Your privacy is important to Wise Digital Group Inc. (“theCalculator”).

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and on reasonable notice to theCalculator, but then you might not be able to proceed with your intended interactions or transactions with theCalculator or otherwise receive the full benefit of theCalculator’s products and services.
02. Personal Information
In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, such as an individual’s name and email address, but does not include (to the extent permitted by law) information that is publicly available in a telephone directory or that is business contact information that enables an individual to be contacted at a place of business.
03. Information That theCalculator Collects
(a) Information You Provide
You may be asked to voluntarily give your personal information to a theCalculator when you interact, orally, in writing or by electronic transmission, with the theCalculator , including when you apply for an account or membership, subscribe to a newsletter, register to receive information, apply or register for or order a product or service offered by a theCalculator or use a product or service provided by a theCalculator. In those circumstances, you can choose not to provide certain requested personal information, but then you might not be able to proceed with your intended interaction or transaction with the theCalculator or otherwise receive the full benefit of the desired product or service. Telephone calls between you and the theCalculator will be recorded to ensure accuracy and quality assurance, and may be disclosed to third parties to verify the theCalculator is compliant with its contractual obligations to third parties. You can choose not to have the telephone call recorded, and communicate by writing or electronic transmission.
(b) Automated Collection
A theCalculator may automatically collect certain information regarding your use of the theCalculator’s website or online service, such as the dates and times that you access the website or online service, the browsers, operating systems, software and devices that you use to access the website or online service and details of your use of the website or online service.
A theCalculator’s websites, online services, email messages and advertisements may use technologies (e.g. cookies, web beacons, tokens, pixels or tags) to collect information that assists the theCalculator to improve its products, services, customer communications and advertising and to prevent fraud. A theCalculator may use information that it collects through technological means to recognize you as a user of the theCalculator’s websites or online services, to facilitate and improve your use of the theCalculator websites or online services, to confirm that messages have been delivered to and opened by you and to provide you with targeted advertisements. You may choose to decline or disable cookies if your web browser or device permits, but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of a website or online service. More information about cookies used for interest-based advertising is set out in section 4(c) below.
Much of the information that is automatically collected by technological means is non-personal information (because the information does not identify you), and theCalculator will deal with that non-personal information as explained below in this Privacy Policy unless applicable law requires otherwise.
(c) Credit Reports
When you apply or register for, order or use certain products or services from a theCalculator (e.g. a referral to a car dealer for a financed car purchase), the theCalculator may obtain, and continue to periodically obtain, your credit score and related information from a credit reporting agency to process or fulfill the transaction, and to update your confidential profile for use by theCalculator for purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy. Upon your request we will inform you if we have ordered such a report or reports, and will give you the name and address of the credit reporting agency that furnished the report or reports.
You also acknowledge and agree that any dealers or other persons or organizations to which we have disclosed your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, may request a credit report for any legitimate purpose associated with your application for credit, extending credit, modifying the terms of your credit agreement, collection on your account, or similar services or products.
