MQCC’s disclosure strikes a balance between sharing information that enhances our public accountability, and protecting the commercially confidential information entrusted to us by our clients.
As per the International Quality Management System Standard, ISO 9001:2015, a Federal Government of Canada, Standard’s Council of Canada Accredited Auditor audits our total business processes every year and and performs a special examination on our activities during every yearly audit. An internal auditor oversees all operations, daily.
MQCC's Conformity group conducts audits based on an audit plan which is approved by the Organization Conformity Committee, created by the Board of Directors. After each raised nonconformity event or internal and external audit, a report is issued which includes our opinion on the related internal controls, a summary of each finding and our recommendations for improvement.
Anti-Spoof, Anti-Phishing protocols, Authorized Server:
Email authentication is a way to ensure that an email provider will be able to recognize the sender of an incoming message and fight spam and abuse. You can use authentication data to verify the source of any message that you receive. For example, if you receive a message from a big sender (like a financial institution, or a major email provider, like Google, Yahoo or Hotmail) that isn’t authenticated, this message is most likely forged and you should be careful about replying to it or opening any attachments. (Source)
MortgageQuote authentication methods:
SPF specifies which hosts are allowed to send messages from a given domain by creating an SPF record. We create an SPF record that identifies the MortgageQuote mail servers as the authorized mail servers for our domain so that recipients may determine it is a valid message.
DKIM allows the sender to electronically sign legitimate emails in a way that can be verified by recipients using a public-key. A 1024-bit domain key is issued.
DMARC Authentication of ALL outbound email to process mail that fraudulently claims to originate from a mortgagequote address (phishing, spooring, spam, malicious email). DMARC is a published policy that tells email providers how to handle messages that are sent from mortgagequote.ca but aren’t authenticated. MortgageQuote is able to measure and enforce the authenticity of its emails. By defining a policy, we help combat phishing and related malicious mail, to protect our users.
Goal: "less spam": As an article in Techrepublic stated: "SPF, DKIM, and DMARC don't solve all spam problems: spammers can still send email that people didn't ask for and don't want. But these tools do make it difficult for spammers to send fake messages that appear to have been sent by your organization [MortgageQuote.ca]." As users of email for primary communication, MortgageQuote's management believes it owes you the benefit of using SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
Employees are required to log-in with 2-step verification.
Canada has two federal privacy laws, the Privacy Act, which covers the personal information-handling practices of federal government departments and agencies, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal private-sector privacy law.
PIPEDA will not apply to an organization that operates wholly within a province that has legislation that has been deemed substantially similar to the PIPEDA, unless the personal information crosses provincial or national borders. Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec have general private-sector legislation that has been deemed substantially similar. (see following section titled “Provincial privacy laws” for more information)
Therefore, PIPEDA generally applies to:
Provincial privacy laws
Some provinces have passed privacy laws that apply to employee information. Examples include
Each province and territory in Canada has a commissioner or ombudsman responsible for overseeing provincial and territorial privacy legislation, and these are listed on our website.

Understanding Consent[1]:
UNDERSTANDING CONSENT
CASL distinguished between two types of consent:
Express consent
Express consent means that a person has clearly agreed (orally or in writing) to receive email from you. Express consent does not expire. It’s valid until a recipient withdraws his or her consent.
Implied consent
Even if an individual hasn’t given express consent, certain activities can imply consent and allow marketers to send email to that individual, too. For example, if someone purchased a product from a brand or inquired about a brand’s services, this is considered implied consent under CASL, and the brand is allowed to send promotional emails.
In contrast to express consent, however, implied consents expire. For a purchase, the implied consent is valid for 2 years. If it was an inquiry about a product or service, the consent is valid for only 6 months. If the subscriber hasn’t “renewed” its implicit consent during that time frame, for example by buying from the brand again, the implied consent expires. In this case, the brand won’t be allowed to send promotional messages to that subscriber anymore.
Rental Properties & Tenants

Retrieval and Delivery Subject to Mortgage Laws:
All records are held subject to legislation;
Regarding DDRAP™ & DDRD™ Fees: In today’s era of cloud computing and native email platform retention and recovery, there is no reason for a person to not possess copies of all correspondence from MQCC.
Industry professionals must comply with legislation and where applicable fiduciary obligations before giving clients the contents of their file
Many industry professionals ask the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) the following question:
“Our brokerage represented a buyer in a real estate transaction last year. We have now received a letter from the buyer’s lawyer requesting we send the lawyer the contents of our file with respect to that transaction. What is our responsibility or obligation to supply the copy of file as requested?”
All industry professionals may face a request like and the following applies in all such cases.
In consideration of this question, RECA assumes:
The general rule is that you must give your client all their information you collect.
Client information includes all documents or forms related to the transaction or service, for example:
Clients must authorize disclosure to a third party
You must not disclose client information to a third party without the client’s written consent or if the law requires the disclosure
In the question posed, you must obtain written consent from the client to provide copies of the file to the lawyer requesting the information.
Real Estate Council of Alberta’s recommendations
Practice tip on saving transaction documents
You do not know if your file will become the subject of a legal proceeding. This is one reason why you should always be cautious and clearly state the type of service and nature of the relationship between yourself and clients in service agreements. You must also remember fiduciary duties, like maintaining confidentiality of information, apply after the transaction is complete.
You may have to disclose your personal information, business information of the brokerage or appraisal firm if it is relevant to the issues in a legal proceeding.

Bank refuses customer access to internal credit score
Complaint
An individual complained that a bank had refused him access to his personal information, specifically his credit score.
Summary of Investigation
After reading an article on the subject, the complainant had written asking his bank for his credit score. The bank refused him access, citing the exemption provided in section 9(3)(b) of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. The bank's position was that to give customers their internal credit scores would be to reveal confidential commercial information in the form of the credit scoring model on which the scores were based.
The bank confirmed that it maintained an "account management" credit score in connection with the complainant's use of his credit card. The credit score in question was the bank's internal credit score. It had been generated not by a credit reporting agency's standardized credit scoring model, but rather by a customized model unique to the bank and incorporating its strategic business priorities.
In support of the proposition that its internal credit scoring models were confidential commercial information, the bank made three main arguments:
(1) A confidentiality agreement between the bank and the firm from which it licensed the models prohibited the disclosure of account management scores. The Commissioner noted that, unless the scores were determined to be exemptable under section 9(3)(b) or some other provision of the Act, the Act would supersede any such confidentiality agreement.
(2) Credit scoring models should be deemed confidential commercial information by reference to the factors commonly considered by the courts in determining what constitutes a "trade secret" or in distinguishing between "commercial" and "business" information. In this context, the bank demonstrated to the Commissioner's satisfaction that it and other financial institutions did genuinely regard their internal credit scoring models as proprietary, confidential commercial information, analogous to trade secrets, and did treat and protect them accordingly. The Commissioner noted that he found this argument particularly compelling in making his determinations.
(3) The experience of other jurisdictions is instructive and supports the bank's position that credit scores should not be released. The Commissioner noted that, though practices in other countries ought not determine what rules should apply in Canada or how our own Act should be interpreted, he had nevertheless found the experience of other jurisdictions helpful in satisfying him that the depiction of internal credit scoring models as confidential commercial information was neither fanciful nor disingenuous.
In support of the proposition that releasing internal credit scores could reveal the models by which they were generated, the bank presented a forensic analysis of the risk of fraud contingent upon the availability of credit scores. That analysis concluded that, if internal credit scores were readily available, the integrity of a credit scoring model could be compromised on the basis of a relatively small number of known scores generated by the model. The Commissioner's Office consulted an expert in the field of algorithms, who found this conclusion to be correct on the whole and affirmed that access to customized credit scores would definitely make it easier to approximate a bank's model.
Commissioner's Findings
Issued July 22, 2002
Jurisdiction: As of January 1, 2001, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act applies to any federal work, undertaking, or business. The Commissioner had jurisdiction in this case because banks are federal works, undertakings, or businesses as defined in the Act.
Application: Principle 4.9 states that, upon request, an individual must be informed of the existence, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information and must be given access to that information. Section 9(3)(b) is an exemption provision stipulating that an organization is not required to give access to personal information if to do so would reveal confidential commercial information.
The Commissioner was satisfied that the bank's internal credit scoring model was confidential commercial information. Moreover, on the cumulative basis of the submissions from this and an earlier case, he was persuaded in general that customized credit scoring models internal to financial institutions should in future be deemed confidential commercial information for purposes of the Act.
On the question whether the release of credit scores would reveal the model by which they were generated, the Commissioner found as follows:
He noted that section 9(3)(b), by using the word "would" rather than "could" or "might", set a very high standard for justifying the withholding of personal information.
Though willing to admit that it was technically possible to approximate a credit scoring model from knowledge of a few scores, he was not in the least persuaded that it would ever happen.
Specifically, the bank's submissions had failed to convince him that fraudsters would actually go to the lengths described in the risk analysis to deceive a bank. He found it especially difficult to accept the apprehension, evidently shared by all Canadian banks, that even one's competitors in the credit-granting community would as a matter of course resort to such tactics in order to "crack" one another's credit scoring models and gain competitive advantage.
Nevertheless, the fact remained that the bank had stated its belief and expressed its fear of inevitable fraud through manipulation of released credit scores and its mistrust of the competitive ethics of the credit-granting community. Having personally examined the bank's credit scoring model, he had no reason to suspect ulterior motives that might be contrary to the public interest, such as fear of giving rise to controversy or embarrassment for the bank.
However unlikely it seemed to him that the release of credit scores would reveal the internal scoring model, it was undeniably a prospect that the Canadian banking community continued to take very seriously and that he himself was unable to refute. Moreover, he continued to see no significant harm ensuing to Canadians' privacy rights from the inability to obtain internal credit scores.
Given his responsibility to achieve a balance between the privacy rights of individuals and the legitimate informational interests of organizations, he considered it only fair in the circumstances to accept the proposition that the release of internal credit scores would reveal the credit scoring model on which they were based.
The Commissioner found that, in citing the section 9(3)(b) exception for confidential commercial information to refuse the complainant access to his credit score, the bank had been acting in accordance with the Act.
He concluded that the complaint was not well-founded.
Further considerations
This finding is identical to the Commissioner's finding in a previous complaint against a different bank with regard to denied access to internal credit scores.

As a Best-in-Industry Sector & Best-in-Industry Class company, MortgageQuote Canada Corp. relies on Best-in-Industry Sector & Best-in-Industry Class IT Vendors including the following:
Amazon Web Services, Inc
Google Inc.
The following certifications are earned by ourselves or our third-party IT infrastructure and delivery partners:
Data is secured by a comprehensive, integrated network of our own internal servers and those of our reliable and proven third party suppliers.
With many users using our MortgageQuote Canada Corp. services, security and data protection are paramount for us. We take security very seriously and have developed a comprehensive set of practices, technologies and policies to help ensure your data is secure.
If you are currently maintaining your data on personal computers or your own servers, the odds are that we offer a better level of security than what you currently have in place.
This document outlines some of the mechanisms and processes we have implemented to help ensure that your data is protected. Our security practices are grouped in four different areas: Physical Security; Network Security; People Processes and Redundancy and Business Continuity.
At a high level, we’ve taken the following approach to secure the MortgageQuote Canada Corp. infrastructure:
Our third party datacenters are hosted in some of the most secure facilities available today in locations that are protected from physical and logical attacks as well as from natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, etc.
Our own office facilities have the following:
Our supplier’s network security team and infrastructure helps protect your data against the most sophisticated electronic attacks. The following is a subset of our network security practices. These are intentionally stated in a very general way, since even knowing what tactics we use is something hackers crave. If your organization requires further detail on our network security, please contact us.
Designing and running data center infrastructure requires not just technology, but a disciplined approach to processes. This includes policies about escalation, management, knowledge sharing, risk, as well as the day to day operations. MortgageQuote Canada Corp.'s supplier’s security team has years of experience in designing and operating data centers and continually improves their processes over time. They have developed world class practices for managing security and data protection risk.

Site or app owners using MQCC (aka “customers”) may find this a useful resource, particularly if they are businesses affected by the European Economic Area’s General Data Protection Regulation. See also the MQCC privacy policy section. This MQCC™ Domain Universe Legal Statements: Data Artifacts, Privacy (PIPEDA), Data Security, Website Terms of Service, Legal, Disclosures document includes a reference to the following concepts:
Source: Google.com: Rather than storing each user's data on a single machine or set of machines, we distribute all data—including our own—across many computers in different locations. We then chunk and replicate the data over multiple systems to avoid a single point of failure. We randomly name these data chunks as an extra measure of security, making them unreadable to the human eye.
While you work, our servers automatically back up your critical data. So when accidents happen—if your computer crashes or gets stolen—you can be up and running again in seconds.
Lastly, we rigorously track the location and status of each hard drive in our data centers. We destroy hard drives that have reached the end of their lives in a thorough, multi-step process to prevent access to the data.
One of the fundamental philosophies of business computing is the acknowledgment and assumption that computer resources will at some point fail. We have designed our systems and infrastructure with that in mind.

Mortgage investing is comparatively safe when compared to investing in corporations via stock certificates, corporate debentures or any investment requiring a prospectus or offering memorandum disclosure instrument. While the value of stock market and related public investments can go up and go down (volatility) and investors may not get back the amount originally invested; in mortgage lending you have "double security", in the form of the cashflow earning of the mortgagor and the underlying asset value of the real estate that is secured by your primary mortgage instrument.
