Privacy Policy
We protect your personal information with industry-standard security practices. This policy explains how 24/7 Bad Credit Loans collects, uses, and safeguards your data when you use our referral service.
Information We Collect
When you submit a loan inquiry through our platform, we collect information necessary to connect you with licensed lenders across Canada. This includes your name, email address, phone number, postal code, employment status, and basic financial details. We also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited to improve our service and prevent fraud.
You control what information you share. We only request details that lenders need to assess your application and contact you with loan offers.
How We Use Your Information
Your information is used solely to:
- Match you with licensed lenders who can serve your credit situation
- Facilitate communication between you and potential lenders
- Process your loan inquiry and follow up on your application status
- Improve our website, user experience, and service quality
- Comply with Canadian privacy and lending regulations
- Prevent fraud and unauthorized access to your account
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Lenders you are connected with operate under their own privacy policies and are responsible for their data practices.
Information Sharing
When you apply for a loan, we share your information with licensed lenders in your province or region who have agreed to our privacy standards. These lenders use your data to evaluate your application and contact you with loan offers. We may also share information with service providers who help us operate our platform, such as hosting providers and payment processors, all bound by confidentiality agreements.
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and platform.
Data Security
We employ encryption, secure servers, and restricted access controls to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no online transmission is completely secure. While we work to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping your password and account login information confidential. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.

- Access your personal information held by us
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Withdraw consent to our collection and use of your data
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
