Security of your Personal Information
Your safety and privacy are utmost priority for us and therefore we have enabled various tools and technologies for the reactive and proactive protection of your information. It is also essential for us to have your partnership in building strong and effective defense against the criminals. Some (but not necessarily all) of the steps you can take to protect yourself include:
- Ensure you have a strong and unique password for each account and device. Never write it down or save it anywhere.
- When it comes to emails, texts or other electronic messages, avoid clicking a link without validating the sender and confirming that it is from a trusted source.
- Never download or open attachments from an unfamiliar sender.
- Do not rely on a display name without checking the email address behind it. The full email address can usually be seen by hovering over the display name on a personal computer or by clicking on the display name on a mobile phone. We send emails to consumers only from ‘moneymart.com’ or ‘moneymart.ca’ email addresses.
- Do not respond to emails, phone calls or text messages that request personal information or your account details. Beware of messages that convey a false sense of urgency or seem suspicious to you in other ways. You can always call us at 1-800-361-1407 or visit us if you’re in doubt if a message comes from us.
- Ensure that your laptop, desktop and mobile device are protected by up-to-date antivirus software.
- Do not share your computer or password or other login credentials with an unknown person.
- Always lock your device that has critical information with a passcode or password that is difficult for anyone to guess.
- Periodically consider whether it is worthwhile to permanently delete personal information from your various devices.
- If you notice any suspicious activity, such as fraudulent emails that appear to come from Money Mart, please call us at 1-800-361-1407. Also, consider contacting your local law enforcement.
