Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 1, 2026

Capital City Finance Centre ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

1.Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Submit a financing application (auto loan or repair financing)
  • Contact us by phone, email, or through our website
  • Interact with our dealer partnership inquiry form

This information may include your full name, date of birth, home address, phone number, email address, employment details, income information, credit history, banking information (for pre-authorized debit), and vehicle information.

We also collect limited technical data automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and analytics purposes.

2.How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Evaluate and process your financing application
  • Communicate with you about your application status
  • Verify your identity and assess creditworthiness
  • Prepare and execute loan or lease agreements
  • Set up pre-authorized debit or other payment arrangements
  • Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
  • Improve our services and website experience

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3.Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with:

  • Lending partners and financial institutions — to facilitate your financing approval
  • Credit bureaus — to obtain credit reports as part of the application process
  • Dealerships — where relevant to completing a vehicle transaction
  • Service providers — who assist us in operating our business (e.g., email delivery, document generation), bound by confidentiality obligations
  • Legal or regulatory authorities — where required by law

All third parties are required to handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

4.Consent

By submitting a financing application or inquiry, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, by contacting us at the details below. Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide services to you.

5.Credit Inquiries

Submitting a financing application authorizes Capital City Finance Centre to obtain a credit report from one or more credit bureaus (such as Equifax or TransUnion) on your behalf. This may result in a hard inquiry on your credit file, which can temporarily affect your credit score.

6.Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. Financing application records are typically retained for a minimum of seven (7) years in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements.

7.Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8.Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Withdraw consent to certain uses of your information
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the BC Information and Privacy Commissioner

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

9.Cookies & Website Analytics
