Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 16, 2026

Westline Funding (“Westline,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal and business information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to you when you use our website, submit an inquiry, or request assistance with business financing.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information such as:

• Your name, telephone number, email address, business name, and business contact information.
• Business information including industry, time in business, revenue, deposit activity, ownership information, requested financing amount, and intended use of funds.
• Financial and supporting information you choose to provide in connection with a financing request, including bank statements, financial statements, identification, corporate records, and related documentation.
• Information concerning creditworthiness or credit history where lawfully obtained and where the appropriate consent has been provided.
• Website and technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited, and analytics or cookie data.
• Communications with Westline, including emails, telephone calls, text messages, form submissions, and correspondence relating to your financing inquiry.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information for purposes including:

• Responding to inquiries and determining whether a financing request appears to meet initial criteria.
• Evaluating, arranging, submitting, administering, or servicing a business-financing request.
• Matching applicants with prospective lenders or funding providers.
• Verifying information provided in an application or inquiry.
• Communicating about your request by telephone, email, or text message where permitted.
• Maintaining records, preventing fraud, managing risk, and complying with legal and regulatory obligations.
• Improving our website, services, advertising, analytics, and customer experience.

3. Consent

By providing information to Westline, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of that information for the purposes identified at the time of collection and as described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law. Additional or separate consent may be required before obtaining credit information or sharing an application with certain funding providers.

Where consent is the legal basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent subject to legal, contractual, underwriting, record-retention, or other legitimate requirements. Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to continue assisting with a financing request.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Prospective lenders, funding providers, financial institutions, and financing partners reviewing your request.
• Credit reporting agencies, verification providers, financial institutions, references, and other lawful information sources where authorized.
• Service providers supporting our website, communications, customer relationship management, document processing, analytics, cybersecurity, hosting, and business operations.
• Professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, auditors, compliance consultants, and insurers.
• Government, law-enforcement, regulatory, judicial, or other authorities where required or permitted by law.
• A purchaser, successor, or other party involved in a proposed corporate transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.

5. Website Forms and Financing Inquiries

Information submitted through our website or advertising forms may be used to contact you regarding the specific business-financing inquiry you submitted. Submission of a form does not constitute an approval, commitment to lend, or guarantee of financing.

Please do not send highly sensitive information, identification documents, bank statements, account credentials, or similar documents through social media or unsecured communications unless Westline has specifically instructed you to use an approved secure submission method.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, understand website traffic, measure advertising effectiveness, and improve user experience. Third-party analytics and advertising providers may also collect information through these technologies in accordance with their own privacy practices.

You may be able to restrict cookies through your browser settings. Certain website functions may not operate properly if cookies are disabled.

7. Communications and Marketing

Where permitted by law, we may communicate with you about a financing inquiry or related service request. Promotional or ongoing marketing communications are subject to applicable consent and anti-spam requirements. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting us.

8. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, loss, alteration, or destruction. No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to manage financing inquiries and business relationships, to meet lender or service requirements, to resolve disputes, to prevent fraud, and to satisfy legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or record-retention obligations.

10. Access, Correction, and Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask that inaccurate information be corrected, or make other privacy-related requests. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

11. Cross-Border Processing

Some service providers, lenders, funding partners, technology vendors, or data-processing systems used by Westline may operate or store information outside your province or outside Canada. As a result, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed or stored.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Westline is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal requirements. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
