If you need custom reports for your own situation, you will need to enter some of your pension statement data.

In order to protect your privacy, we do not ask for your full name or Social Insurance Number.

When asked to give a profile name, you should use a name that will not be recognizable (e.g., Bob, DocBrown, 832923, Ellen76).

What data we do collect is securely stored, and all passwords are encrypted.

We will not share any information you provide to any third party, and specifically we will not divulge your email address to any organization except to Stripe when you are making a payment.

Our only contact with you via email or phone will be for:

• Contacting you when your payment period has expired; or
• Responding to any question you ask of us.

We will never ask for your password (either by email or over the phone).

The advice you will be given on this website has been prepared by Michael Demner and his team. Michael's team includes Melanie Higgs, Claire Demner, Brad Dehnert and Anna Slack.

You are encouraged to obtain advice from several sources, and your financial advisor can access our website and obtain advice as easily as you can.
