1. Scope and Application
This Privacy Policy applies to Questrade Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us”, or “QFG”). It explains how our companies collect, use and disclose the personal information of individuals who use our financial products and services, as well as those who interact with us through various channels, such as our websites, mobile applications and social media. This enterprise-wide policy may be supplemented by additional privacy notices applicable to specific practices, and more detailed information shared at the time of registration for a particular product or service.
2. What Personal Information We Collect, and How We Collect It
To provide you with our tailored products and a secure experience, we may collect your personal information; however, we will always limit our collection to what is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected. We may collect this information in four ways: directly from you; from someone you have designated to provide us with information on your behalf, such as a broker; automatically through your interactions with us, such as interactions with our websites and applications; and from external sources, such as credit reporting agencies.
3. Purposes of Collection and Use
We collect and use your personal information to provide you with and manage our products and services. Specifically, we may use your personal information to:
Deliver and Administer Services: Manage your accounts, process transactions, and communicate with you.
Verify Identity and Assess Risk: Meet anti-money laundering (AML) requirements and determine creditworthiness for loans or credit cards.
Maintain Security: Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized account access.
Improve Your Experience: Conduct research and analytics to develop new products and services, and provide you with personalized offers based on your interactions with us.
Meet Legal Obligations: Fulfill reporting and other regulatory requirements.
4. Sharing with Affiliates, Service Providers and Other Third Parties
To provide you with a comprehensive suite of financial services and to manage your relationship with us, we share personal information within QFG, which may include affiliates in other countries. We also engage service providers and third party partners to support the provision of our products and services, or for legal, regulatory or other professional purposes when permitted or required by law.
5. Security Safeguards, Cross-Border Transfers and Retention
We use robust physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to keep your personal information secure. To provide our products and services, we may store or process your information outside of your province or Canada; in these cases, your data remains protected but may be subject to the laws of that local jurisdiction. We only keep your information for as long as it is needed to provide our services or to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. Once it is no longer required, we ensure your data is either securely destroyed or permanently anonymized.
6. Your Privacy Rights
We want to ensure you understand your rights and choices when it comes to how your personal information is collected, used and disclosed, to help you make informed decisions about your privacy. There are multiple options available for you to manage various privacy preferences, including: managing preferences within your accounts or marketing communications, contacting us directly, changing your browser settings, or using a third party unsubscribe functionality.

We may update this Privacy Policy or the supplemental notices from time to time. Your continued use of our products and services evidences your acceptance of updates to the Privacy Policy.
