Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025 · Applies to: worthyinvestments.ca and all associated services
Worthy Island Investments Inc. (operating as Worthy Investments) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our website and services. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. We comply with British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, where applicable, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
1.1Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it — primarily through the Path Finder tool, Strategy Session booking form, and seller inquiry form. Information collected may include:

  • Contact information: name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address
  • Financial overview information: general credit score range, income type, employment status, and savings range as entered through the Path Finder. This information is self-reported and not verified at the time of collection.
  • Property information: for sellers, general details including location, property type, and asking price
  • Communication records: correspondence sent via email or website contact forms
  • Session preferences: session format, requested date and time, and session type

We do not collect government-issued identification, Social Insurance Numbers, or full financial account details through our website.

1.2Automatically Collected Information

Our website may automatically collect standard web analytics data including IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used in aggregate to understand site usage and improve performance. It is not used to identify individual visitors.

2.1How We Use Your Information

We use personal information you provide for the following purposes:

  • To respond to inquiries, schedule Strategy Sessions, and communicate about your situation
  • To assess whether your circumstances are suitable for one of Worthy's structured pathways
  • To match qualified buyers with suitable properties or sellers, where applicable
  • To coordinate legal, lending, or other professional introductions with your consent
  • To maintain records of interactions as required by good business practice

We do not use your personal information for unsolicited marketing, automated decision-making, or profiling unrelated to the services you have inquired about.

2.2Legal Basis

We collect and use personal information on the basis of your consent (provided when you submit a form or make contact) and legitimate business interest (responding to your inquiry and providing requested services). You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

3.1Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information with third parties in limited circumstances:

  • With your consent: If you proceed past the Strategy Session, relevant information may be shared with lender partners, legal counsel, or other professionals necessary to facilitate the transaction — with your explicit knowledge and agreement.
  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information where required by law, court order, or government authority.
  • Service providers: We may use third-party tools for website hosting, email, or scheduling. These providers are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes.
4.1Data Storage and Security

Personal information submitted through this website is stored on servers located in Canada. We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4.2Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Contact and inquiry information from individuals who do not proceed past initial inquiry is typically retained for up to 24 months. Information related to completed transactions is retained for the period required by applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

5.1Your Rights

Under BC's Personal Information Protection Act and applicable federal legislation, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Withdraw consent for collection, use, or disclosure at any time (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
  • Request deletion of your personal information where retention is no longer legally required

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at worthyrealestate@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
