5. How we choose and manage service providers (high-level)
QuoteFinder.ca aims to use service providers that are appropriate for the platform’s size, features, and operational needs.
Depending on the provider and service, we may use measures such as:
- contractual terms and data processing terms;
- access controls and least-privilege configuration;
- vendor role scoping (limiting what the vendor is used for);
- security/privacy review appropriate to the service and risk;
- ongoing operational monitoring and account access controls.
Important
Use of a third-party service provider does not mean the provider is allowed to use QuoteFinder.ca user data for unrelated purposes. Providers are used to support QuoteFinder.ca operations, subject to applicable agreements and law.
6. Data location and cross-border processing (overview)
Some service providers may process or store data in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions depending on the provider, product configuration, and infrastructure used.
Where data is processed across borders, it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
For more information about cross-border processing and privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to our service providers
QuoteFinder.ca may add, remove, or replace service providers from time to time as the platform evolves, features change, vendors change, or operational/security needs change.
We may also use different providers for different platform functions, environments, or periods of time.
When this page is updated, we will post the revised version and update the “Last updated” date below.
8. Provider-specific questions
If you are a provider, brokerage, or team account user and have a question about a type of service provider used for a specific workflow (for example, payments, messaging, verification, or support), you can contact us through the site support/contact page.
Please include enough detail about the feature or workflow so we can route your request efficiently.
