Conflict of Interest Statement

As part of the revised National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (NI 31-103) and effective June 30th, 2021, we are required to:

  1. take reasonable steps to identify existing and reasonably foreseeable material conflicts of interest between a client and the firm or any individual acting on the firm’s behalf;
  2. address all material conflicts of interest in the best interest of the client
  3. avoid material conflicts of interest that cannot be otherwise addressed in the best interest of the client; and
  4. provide affected clients with written disclosure of material conflicts of interest at account opening or in a timely manner thereafter.

At the time of account opening if you are a new client, you received a Relationship Disclosure document disclosing potential conflicts of interest on Page 9. This Conflict of Interest disclosure is intended to assist you in understanding possible conflicts of interests that may arise between the firm and our clients. This Conflict of Interest disclosure will also be available on our website by June 30, 2021. However, should you have any questions, please get in touch with your Investment Advisor.

POLICY
SCP Resource Finance LP (SCP) ensures that conflicts of interest that may arise between any two of SCP, a SCP related entity or a SCP registrant and a client or clients are identified, avoided, disclosed and/or addressed appropriately.

A conflict of interest is defined as any situation when SCP or any of its registrants or related entities has an interest that may conflict with the interests of SCP’s clients or the ability of SCP or SCP registrants to deal with clients honestly, in good faith and in a fair, equitable transparent manner, consistent with the best interests of the client(s).

Any existing or potential material conflict of interest between SCP or an employee of SCP and a client that cannot be addressed in a fair, equitable and transparent manner, and considering the best interests of the client or clients, must be avoided.

It is important to note that it is possible to identify a conflict of interest after the fact or to recognize that a conflict of interest is more significant than originally determined. In such cases, conflicts should be reviewed and/or re-examined in accordance with these policies and procedures.

UPDATES
If there are material changes to this Conflict of Interest disclosure, we will post them on our website www.scp-rf.com. You can also obtain a current version of this document at any time from your advisor.

Privacy Policy

The privacy of our investors is very important to us. This Privacy Policy sets out the information practices for SCP Resource Finance LP (“SCP”) what types of personal and business information is collected, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. We are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your information.

Definitions you need to know.

"Service" means any brokerage or financial product or service offered by us.

What personal information do we collect?
The term “personal information” refers to any information about you (or other identifiable people) including information that may specifically identify you or them. We collect personal information that you provide to us (or that your financial advisor or dealer provides to us on your behalf), which may include the following:

  • Your full name, address, occupation and date of birth, as required by law;
  • Identification, such as a valid driver's license or passport;
  • Your social or national insurance number for ID or income tax reporting purposes, as required by law;
  • Your financial information including annual income, assets and liabilities, and banking information;
  • Your employment history and credit history;

For legal entities such as businesses, partnerships, trusts, estates or investment clubs, we may collect the information referred to above from each authorized person, partner, trustee, executor and club member, as appropriate.

When you access or use our websites, we may also collect non-personal information that is anonymous and aggregated and cannot be attributed back to you. For example, we also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics (to opt out, click here) to evaluate usage of our websites. We use these tools to obtain aggregated statistical information about the use of the websites to help us improve our services, performance, and user experiences. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to perform their services, and may combine the information that they collect through the websites with other information that they have collected. This Privacy Policy does not cover the collection, use, and disclosure of tracking data collected by third party analytics providers; for further information please see the relevant provider’s privacy policy.

How do we collect your information?
We collect your personal or business information directly from you or through your financial advisor or dealer in order to provide you with Services and perform contracts with you, to meet legal and regulatory requirements and to comply with our legal obligations, for the purpose of our own legitimate business interests (where these are not overridden by your rights and freedoms) such as to keep in contact with you, and for any other purposes to which you consent. Your information may be collected from a variety of sources, including:

  • Applications, questionnaires or other forms that you (or your financial advisor or dealer) submit to us or contracts that you enter into with us;
  • Your transactions with us;
  • Meetings and telephone conversations with you;
  • Credit reference checks, identity checks and money laundering checks; and
  • Our websites.

We may also monitor or record any telephone call we have with you. The content of the call may also be retained (and these recordings will be stored for a fixed period of time in accordance with our own internal policies and Data Protection Legislation). We may inform you prior to proceeding with the call of this possibility. This is to establish a record of the information you provide, to ensure that your instructions are followed properly and to ensure customer service levels are maintained.

How do we use your information?
We collect and use your personal or business information in order to give you the best possible service and for the purposes set out in your agreement(s) with us, such as:

  • To establish your identity and verify the accuracy of your information;
  • To confirm your corporate status;
  • To understand your needs;
  • To determine the suitability of our Services for you;
  • To determine your eligibility for our Services;
  • To set up, administer and offer Services that meet your needs, including fulfilling any reporting or audit requirements;
  • To provide you with ongoing Service, including executing your transactions;
  • To provide you and your financial advisor or dealer with confirmations, tax receipts, proxy mailings, financial statements and other reports;
  • To meet our legal and regulatory requirements;
  • To manage and assess our risks; and
  • To protect us from error and to prevent or detect fraud or criminal activity.

We collect, use and disclose your social or national insurance number, social security number or other government-issued personal or business identification number for ID verification purposes and for income tax reporting purposes, as required by law. In addition, we may ask you for your SIN to confirm your identity. This allows us to keep your personal information separate from that of other customers, particularly those with similar names, and helps maintain the integrity and accuracy of your personal information. You may refuse to consent to its use or disclosure for purposes other than as required by law.

We will store your personal information for no longer than it is needed and our retention of the information will be in accordance with our internal policies and the Data Protection Legislation.

How do we obtain your consent (where needed)?
Where we need your consent in order to process your personal information in a certain way, we will rely on your actions as indications of your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. For example, by signing an application form, voluntarily providing your information to us directly or through your financial advisor or dealer and continuing to do business with us, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy. SCP will not, as a condition of the supply of Services, require you to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information beyond that which is required to fulfill these purposes.

Who do we share your information with?
We may share your personal or business information within the organization for the purposes set out above. We do not provide directly all the services related to your relationship with us. We may use third party service providers or agents such as:

  • Your financial advisor or dealer;
  • Other financial service providers such as investment dealers, custodians, banks and others used to finance or facilitate transactions or operations on your behalf;
  • Transfer agents, portfolio managers, brokerage firms and similar service providers; and
  • Other service providers such as accounting, legal or tax preparation services and credit reference or identity check providers.

Our service providers and our agents process or handle your information on our behalf and assist us with various services such as printing, imaging, document storage and shredding, mail distribution and marketing. Some of these third parties may be located outside of Canada. As a result, your information may be accessible to regulatory authorities in accordance with the laws of these jurisdictions, including the United States of America and the United Kingdom. When information is provided to our service providers and to our agents, we will require them to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with SCP’s privacy policies and practices and which accords with the Data Protection Legislation (which may involve the use of contracts containing the EC approved "model clauses" contract for data transfers). You are entitled to request a copy of the relevant provisions of these contracts by contacting us at the email address below.

We may also be required by law to disclose information to government regulatory authorities. For example, we may be required to report your income to taxation authorities. We may also be required to disclose your personal and business information to SROs. SROs collect, maintain and use such information for regulatory purposes, including trading surveillance, audits, investigations, maintenance of regulatory databases and enforcement proceedings. SROs may, in turn, disclose such information when reporting to securities regulators or when sharing information with other SROs and law enforcement agencies.

SCP may be involved in the sale, transfer or reorganization of some or all of its business at some time in the future. As part of that sale, transfer or reorganization, we may disclose your personal and business information to the acquiring organization.

We may share non-personal information collected though our websites in a number of circumstances for a number of purposes, including within the organization and with our service providers (for example, Google Analytics).

How do we use your information for marketing purposes?
We may share your personal or business information within the organization for the purpose of marketing products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. This would only be done with your consent. We may ask you for your contact information, such as your telephone number, residential address, e-mail or other electronic address, and keep and use this information as well as disclose it to other members within the organization so that we may contact you directly through these channels for the purpose of marketing including telemarketing. Your consent to this is not a condition of doing business with us and you may withdraw it at any time (see below).

How do you withdraw your consent?
Subject to legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, you may refuse to consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal or business information, or you may withdraw your consent to our further collection, use or disclosure of your information at any time in the future by giving us reasonable notice. Depending on the circumstances, however, withdrawal of your consent may impact on our ability to provide you or continue to provide you with some Services or information that may be of value to you. We will act on your instructions as quickly as possible but there may be certain uses of your information that we may not be able to stop immediately.

You can tell us at any time to stop using information about you to promote our Services or the products and services of third parties we select, or to stop sharing your information with other members of SCP. If you wish to withdraw consent as outlined in this Privacy Policy, you may do so at any time by contacting us by mail at 70 York Street, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario M5J 1S9 Canada Attention: Privacy Officer or by e-mail at [email protected].

How do you update your information?
As we make decisions based on the information we have, we encourage you to help us keep our information accurate and complete.
