Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 5, 2026
1. Introduction
At Mguard.ai ("we", "our", or "us"), we are deeply committed to safeguarding your personal and financial data. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of your information when you use our mortgage risk analysis services (the "Services"). By using Mguard.ai, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how we process your sensitive information.
2. Information We Collect
To provide accurate mortgage risk audits, we collect the following types of information:
- Account Information: Name, email address, and billing details provided during registration.
- Mortgage Documents (Sensitive Data): When you upload a Mortgage Commitment or related documents (PDF/Images), we process the text contained within these files to perform our AI-driven risk analysis.
- Wizard Data: Your responses to our "Decision Compass" (e.g., timeline, mobility, income stability) which help us tailor the risk assessment.
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage metrics to ensure service security and improve performance.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly for the following purposes:
- Risk Analysis: To identify hidden clauses (e.g., IRD penalties, Bona Fide Sale clauses) and generate your Strategic Audit Report.
- Service Improvement: To refine our AI models (using de-identified/anonymized data where possible) to better detect predatory lending patterns.
- Communication: To send your audit results, security alerts, and customer support responses.
- Security: To prevent fraudulent uploads and protect the integrity of our platform.
4. Data Storage and Security
Given the sensitive nature of mortgage documents, we implement rigorous security measures:
Encryption:
All data is encrypted during transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest (AES-256).
No Permanent Document Storage:
By default, Mguard.ai does not store your original PDF files longer than necessary to complete the analysis, unless you explicitly choose to save them to your "Audit Vault."
Access Control:
We maintain strict database-level access controls to ensure that your financial data is never accessible to unauthorized parties.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal or financial data to third parties. We only share information with:
- AI Service Providers: We use trusted partners (like Google Gemini API) to process document text. Note: We utilize Enterprise-grade API configurations that do not use your data to train their public models.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose data if required by Canadian law (e.g., a court order) or to protect the safety of our users.
6. Your Rights and Data Governance
In accordance with PIPEDA (Canada) and Ontario privacy standards, you have the right to:
- Access and export your audit history.
- Request the immediate deletion of your uploaded documents and account data.
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time (which may limit service functionality).
7. Children's Privacy
Our Services are intended for adults (18+) engaged in real estate transactions. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 18.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in AI technology or privacy laws. We will notify you of any significant changes via email or a prominent notice on our Hub.
