Privacy policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Restaurant Financing Canada (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using restaurantfinancingcanada.ca (the “Site”), you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

1.1 Information You Provide

This includes information you submit through our forms, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Business details
  • Project information (budget, lease status, timeline, etc.)
  • Any other information you choose to share

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit or submit the pre-qualification form, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Pages viewed and the page that referred you to the Site
  • Campaign parameters such as UTM values and advertising click identifiers
  • The first and latest landing page, referral source, and time of visit
  • A random submission identifier used to make retries safer
  • Security-check information used to prevent automated abuse

The Site stores first-touch and latest-touch campaign information in your browser’s local storage so it remains available while you navigate. Quiz progress and the random submission identifier are stored in session storage. These values do not include the name, email address, phone number, or free-text answers you provide in the form.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Review your eligibility for financing
  • Contact you about your submission
  • Provide consulting or advisory services
  • Improve our website and user experience
  • Understand which campaigns and referral sources lead to enquiries
  • Prevent duplicate submissions and automated abuse
  • Respond to questions and support requests
  • Send updates, resources, or relevant communications (You can unsubscribe anytime.)

We do not sell your information.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information only in the following situations:

  • With service providers who assist with website hosting, form security, customer relationship management, email delivery, analytics, or booking. These currently include Cloudflare, Attio, Google Analytics 4, and Resend. Microsoft Bookings may receive information if you use a booking link.
  • With lenders or financial partners, but only with your permission or as part of a financing application you choose to pursue
  • When required by law, regulation, or legal request

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies, Local Storage & Conversion Measurement

We use browser storage for the campaign attribution, quiz progress, and retry protection described above. Google Analytics 4 runs by default when you visit the Site, unless you have opted out in this browser. It may use cookies and receive usage information such as page views, browser and device details, referral source, and the conversion events below. You can turn it off or back on at any time on our Privacy Settings page. Your choice does not prevent you from using the form.

The Site emits conversion events for call-to-action clicks, quiz starts, path selections, form submission, accepted leads, and booking clicks. Those event payloads are designed not to contain names, email addresses, phone numbers, or form answers. An accepted, non-test lead may also be counted as a generate_lead event in Google Analytics 4 unless you have opted out.

Cloudflare may also provide page-view and site-performance analytics through its hosting platform. Those measurements are separate from the Google Analytics choice and do not receive the Site’s custom conversion events.

You can clear or disable browser storage in your browser settings. Doing so may reset campaign attribution, quiz progress, or duplicate-submission protection.

Your Google Analytics opt-out applies to this browser. It prevents future Google Analytics collection here and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies, but it cannot erase information already sent. You will need to opt out separately on other browsers or devices. Clearing this Site’s browser storage may reset your opt-out choice.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

However, no online transmission or storage system is completely secure.

6. Your Choices

You may:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold
  • Request corrections or updates
  • Request deletion of your information (unless we are required to retain it for legal or operational reasons)
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
  • Opt out of Google Analytics through Privacy Settings

To make a request, email us at:
hello@sweetsauce.co

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 18.

We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Changes will be posted on this page with the updated date.
