Terms and Conditions

HeyPanda — Our relationship with you

Here at HeyPanda, we don’t really like long terms and conditions, but these are important.

They explain our responsibilities and yours, and how you can use our services. These apply to you if you access our website or use our services and are legally binding so please read them — in fact, you might want to print them out or save them on your device in case you ever want to come back to them in the future.

You should also remember that these aren’t a complete list of all your or our rights or responsibilities, as there might be others under general consumer protection law. By accessing or using our website, apps or services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

What are our services?

We aim to help you take control over your own finances by helping you to access your credit report and credit score from credit reporting agencies with your consent. We let you do this free of charge. If you want to read up on what credit scores, credit reports and credit reference agencies are, how they work and ways to improve your credit score, you can do that here.

You understand that you are instructing us to request and receive copies of your consumer reports, scores and related information about you from TransUnion (PO Box 338 LDC1, Hamilton, ON L8L 7W2) from time to time. You understand this information will be obtained for the purposes of providing the HeyPanda services and this consent shall be effective for as long as you have a HeyPanda account.

This information does not constitute a consumer disclosure, which is the version of your report which lists all inquiries made to your credit information, including account management inquiries, non-credit-related inquiries and your own inquiries. You may request a consumer disclosure at no charge by contacting TransUnion directly.

By using our services you agree that we and credit reporting agencies shall be entitled to rely on this authorization and agency granted by you.

Presenting a credit report and credit score is subject to you passing appropriate identity authentication for security purposes. We’ll try to assist you if you fail the process, but we do not have to notify you of the reasons why it was not successful.

This information is procured through ‘soft searching’ your credit records.

What is a “soft credit search”?

When you click to search for credit offers on our website, we or our service providers will record a ‘soft credit search’ on your credit file, but this record will be invisible to other lenders. This means the soft search will not affect a lender’s decision whether or not to lend to you and it won’t affect your credit score.

You can opt out of soft searching if you want to by going on the ‘My Account’ section. But if you do opt out of this, we will not be able to show you offers that are specifically targeted to you and will only be able to show you generic ones, which may be less suited to your financial circumstances.

More information about the differences between a hard and soft credit search can be found here. If you decide to apply for a financial product, including one which you have seen on our website, the lender will usually conduct a hard credit search before accepting your application. Hard searches can stay on your credit record for up to 6 years after the search is performed. Having multiple hard searches performed on your credit report may affect a financial service provider’s decision of whether to lend to you.

How often will a “soft credit search” be performed for your HeyPanda account?

By using our services you agree that your records and, where applicable, those of your financial associates (for example, anyone you have a mortgage or joint loan with) will be searched:

• As part of verifying your identity, we will carry out an authentication search against your credit information. This search will be carried out once at the time you register for our services
• While you remain an active user of our services, we (or our third-party service providers) will carry out searches against your credit information and, where applicable, your financial associates’ credit information in order to provide you with your credit score, credit report and show you credit offers from lenders we have arrangements with.

We will hold your details and records on our systems and make this credit information available to you through our website. If there has been a relevant change or addition to information in your credit score or credit report, we may notify you by sending you an email.

We will undertake analysis and profiling of your credit information and, where applicable, your financial associates’ credit information (and any other information provided by you or on your behalf). We may also make tools available to you so you can do this yourself. This is to assist you in being better informed about, understand and manage your credit position, and in order to identify and inform you of credit products that are likely to be suited to your circumstances or which we collect about you through our website, apps and your mobile devices. We will use your credit information and any other data you provide or make available to us for the purposes set out in these Terms, including our Privacy Policy.

We may also use your information (and, where applicable, that of your financial associates) to identify whether you may benefit from additional guidance concerning your credit score and steps you can take to improve your score.

You will only receive weekly updates to your credit score and credit report while you remain an active user of our services. If you do not log in to your account for more than 364 days, we may no longer consider you an active user and shall be entitled to stop providing you with weekly updates and close and delete your account. Before we delete your account we will send you an email to alert you of our intention to do so. If we delete your account, we may keep records or data relating to you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may share your information with third party service providers, such as credit reporting agencies, financial services providers and other advertisers, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and your account’s privacy settings. Certain third-party product and services providers provide us with their own services to assess your suitability for particular products. The products and services provided by third parties are subject to their Terms and Conditions that are provided to you separately.

We’ll use this information to match you with tailored offers for credit and financial products. The offers won’t be from us, they’ll be from other financial services providers and you don’t have to accept these. We aim to present only economically advantageous products that you have a strong likelihood of being accepted for based on the merits of the product and your profile. Some might save you money, others might not. The key thing to remember is that you need to make your own decision about whether any offers are right for you. We don’t have all the information about you or your individual financial situation and we are not providing you with financial advice.

Making an application for lending from a third party

Third party lenders will use their own criteria in making decisions about you. Any decisions you make on the basis of your credit score or credit report, or any other information we provide or make available to you, are purely your own choice.

Please ensure that you have fully read and understand any relevant information, such as the credit provider’s disclosures and related terms and conditions, which provide full details of the risks involved with any decision you make.

You may wish to consider obtaining professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from taking, any action on the basis of the content on our website or any other information we provide or make available to you.

Your responsibility

In order to get a quote through our price comparison service, you will need to answer some questions on our site needed by all the different product or service providers and any intermediaries they may use. The answers you give will determine the products or services available to you and the amount you will pay. You must get permission from any other people whose details you propose to use in requesting a quote. If you submit another person’s details, you are confirming to us that you have their permission to do so, and that they understand how their information will be used.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information you provide us with is true, accurate and complete and you agree to the assumptions we make. If you do not provide accurate information this could lead to your selected product being invalid. You agree that we cannot be held responsible if your selected product is invalid as a result of you providing incorrect information to us or your selected provider.

As we work with a large number of providers it is important that you read the provider’s terms and conditions, and that you read all documents issued to you by your selected provider and ensure that you are aware of any levels of cover, financial limits and any other terms that apply. If any information is not correct, it is your responsibility to identify the mistake and correct this with the provider directly.

To access our services, you will need to create a username and password. You agree to keep confidential the password and any other login details you use to access our services or engage in any disputes process and not to disclose such passwords and other login details to anyone else. If you know or suspect that someone else has your login details and password you must contact us immediately and change your password. We will not be responsible for any activity performed using your login details unless we have acted negligently or in breach of these Terms.

Two-factor authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (“2FA”) is an optional additional layer of security on your HeyPanda account. When you enable 2FA on your account, an extra step is added to the login process. We’ll send a code to your mobile number via SMS which you will be required to enter to access your account, in addition to entering your password.

If you have enabled 2FA and cannot access your HeyPanda account, please contact us through help@heypanda.com and we will assist, if possible. You understand that we may require you to verify your identity before we can reinstate access to your account.

HeyPanda Protect

What is HeyPanda Protect? All HeyPanda customers who have a verified email address associated to their account can benefit from our HeyPanda Protect service, for which we provide a version that is free of charge. HeyPanda Protect is a cyberbreach monitoring service (or “cybercheck”) that helps you to identify whether your details associated with your nominated email address may have been compromised. Through Protect, you will also be informed of any fraud indicators on your credit report.

We provide this service to you in partnership with providers who monitor and collect information regarding data breaches from the dark web (“our Cybercheck Partners”).

We will also provide you with a Protect security score. Your score reflects how well you meet criteria regarding how safe you stay online, but it isn’t related to your credit score in any way and having a good score doesn’t make you immune to fraud or security issues. Your score is not shared with any third parties. You accept that HeyPanda is not liable or responsible for any decisions you make based on this score.

If you do not wish to receive the HeyPanda Protect service, you may opt out of it at any time through the My Account section of your HeyPanda account.

How it works. To provide you with the HeyPanda Protect service, we share the verified email address associated with your account with our Cybercheck Partners on a quarterly basis. We provide the HeyPanda Protect service solely for your benefit and the email we use to provide you with the HeyPanda Protect service must be verified and connected to an email account that is personal to you and is operated and controlled by you.

Our Cybercheck Partners will cross-check your email address or other personal details against their proprietary database to identify whether there are any recorded instances of your account or personal details having been compromised, or are publicly available. Our Cybercheck Partners undertake every effort to maintain the quality and comprehensiveness of their databases, but a complete database of all breaches does not exist. You acknowledge and understand that if a result is returned for you, it does not mean that your details have not been involved in a breach. Our Cybercheck Partners use your personal details solely in accordance with our instructions and they do not use it for any other purpose, including marketing.

We will notify you of the results of the cybercheck on a quarterly basis (“Notification”), typically by email and/or push notification, but we may also notify you of the results using any other means we deem appropriate. We may notify you of the results of the quarterly cybercheck even if there is no recorded instance of your account details having been compromised in the preceding quarter.

Service details. The HeyPanda Protect service is not a live monitoring service and we will notify you of cyberbreaches affecting your email account in the next scheduled cybercheck after it has been added to our Cybercheck Partners’ database.

HeyPanda Protect is not a substitute for implementing appropriate security measures to protect your email account and your personal information (including secure, confidential passwords). You remain solely responsible for the security of your email account and the devices you use to access and use it.

Any decisions you make on the basis of the notifications you receive or the cyberchecks, or any other information we provide or make available to you, are purely your own choice. Notifications are provided for information purposes only and we are not responsible for any action taken in response to it. In particular, if a Notification indicates that your account details or other personal information is held by an unauthorised third party, on the “dark web” or elsewhere, we are not responsible for securing or procuring the deletion of that information.

We reserve the right to terminate the HeyPanda Protect service at any time for any reason, but will endeavour to give you at least one months’ notice.

Your privacy. Please see our Privacy Policy for details of how we use your personal information to provide you with the HeyPanda Protect service. If you ask us to delete any of your information in response to a Notification, we will comply with your request, in accordance with our Privacy Policy, solely to the extent that it relates to information processed by us in connection with the HeyPanda services. If we do delete or restrict access to any of your information at your request, we may not, as a result, be able to continue to provide some or all of our services to you. We also have the right to continue using your information if our holding and use of itis necessary for compliance with our legal obligations.

We will hold a record of the cyberchecks conducted on your behalf and will make this information available to you through our app and website.

As noted above, you are solely responsible for procuring the security or deletion of any information about you that is held by an unauthorised third party, on the dark web or elsewhere.

Making changes to our terms or services

We may change these Terms, our website, apps and our services at any time. We will notify you of any changes to our Terms by sending you an email notification, by posting a notice on our website or app or through the services, or in any other manner required by law or which we deem appropriate. Your continued use of our website, apps or our services will confirm your acceptance of the revised terms.

Accuracy and non-reliance on information

Any information provided to you as part of our services is only as accurate, complete and up to date as the information supplied to us by you, the credit reporting agencies or other third party we use to obtain this information. We don’t check the information we receive from you or third parties for accuracy, currency or completeness.

We do not control your credit score or credit report and we cannot change that information for you. If you think the information provided about you on your credit report may be incorrect, you can dispute it with the credit reporting agencies directly here.

If you think any other information we have provided to you has been incorrectly displayed, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting help@heypanda.com.
