Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 23, 2026
LendConnect is a business operated by 1237 Inc. (“LendConnect,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit www.lendconnect.ca, contact us, or inquire about our financing services.
1. Information We Collect
When you contact LendConnect or submit a financing inquiry through our website, we may collect:
- Your full name
- Your email address
- Your telephone number
- The type of financing or service you are interested in
- Information about the vehicle, equipment, or financing you are seeking
- Additional information you voluntarily provide in a message or inquiry
Our website and its service providers may also automatically collect technical information, such as IP addresses, browser and device information, pages visited, and website usage data.
Our website inquiry forms are not formal credit applications. Please do not submit Social Insurance Numbers, banking information, financial account numbers, identity documents, or other sensitive financial information through these forms.
2. How We Use Your Information
We collect and use personal information to:
- Respond to inquiries and requests for information
- Understand your financing needs
- Discuss potential financing options and next steps
- Communicate with customers, dealerships, and business partners
- Facilitate financing inquiries and, where appropriate, subsequent applications
- Maintain business records and meet applicable legal obligations
- Operate, secure, and improve our website and services
We do not automatically enrol visitors in marketing communications simply because they submit a contact or financing inquiry.
Any promotional email or text messaging will be handled in accordance with applicable consent and electronic communications requirements.
3. Financing Inquiries and Credit Applications
LendConnect assists individuals and businesses in exploring financing options for recreational vehicles, powersports, commercial equipment, and personal loans.
Submitting an inquiry through our website does not constitute a formal credit application, does not guarantee financing approval, and does not itself authorize a credit check.
If you choose to proceed with financing, additional personal or financial information may be required through a separate application process.
Before collecting sensitive application information, arranging a credit check, or disclosing application details to prospective financing providers, we will explain the relevant purposes and obtain the consent required by applicable law.
Financing decisions, rates, terms, and approvals are subject to lender requirements and eligibility criteria.
4. Sharing Personal Information
We may share personal information with third-party service providers that assist us with website hosting, form processing, communications, security, spam prevention, and business operations.
Where you choose to proceed with a financing application, we may also disclose relevant application information to prospective lenders, financing institutions, or other authorized financing partners, subject to appropriate consent and applicable legal requirements.
We may disclose information where required or permitted by law.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
5. Website Hosting, Cookies, and Analytics
Our website is hosted through WordPress.com and uses Jetpack services provided by Automattic.
These services may process information such as website inquiries, IP addresses, technical usage information, and data collected through cookies or similar technologies.
Cookies may be used for website functionality, security, spam prevention, and visitor statistics.
You can manage or restrict cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website features.
For additional information about Automattic’s privacy practices, visit Automattic’s Privacy Notice.
6. Storage, Retention, and Protection
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.
Information submitted through our website may be stored within our website’s form-management system and delivered to authorized recipients by email.
Some service providers may process or store information outside Canada, where it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, and complying with legal obligations.
When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized as appropriate.
No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Consent and Your Privacy Rights
By voluntarily submitting information through our website, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure for the purposes explained at the time of collection and in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law.
Where additional consent is required for sensitive information, credit inquiries, lender disclosures, or other purposes, we will request it separately.
You may contact us to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Ask questions about how your information is collected, used, or disclosed
- Withdraw consent to certain uses or disclosures, subject to applicable legal or contractual limitations
- Raise a concern or complaint about our privacy practices
We will respond to privacy-related requests in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation.
8. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by lenders, service providers, or other third parties.
LendConnect does not control the privacy practices or content of independently operated websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business operations, website functionality, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.
Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where required, we will obtain consent for materially different uses or disclosures of personal information.
