What is an Information Only Profile?

Safe and Trusted Canada is a consumer-focused discovery platform.  Our goal is to help consumers compare and identify businesses that are relevant, current, and useful when making purchasing decisions.

Information-Only profiles may appear on the Site to help consumers discover businesses and explore publicly available information, such as contact details and links to third-party review platforms. These profiles are created using publicly available information and do not represent an endorsement, verification, or accreditation by Safe and Trusted Canada.

Information -Only profiles are not permanent listings. They are provided at the Site's discretion and may be reviewed, updated, limited, or removed at any time.

Safe and Trusted Canada may remove an Information-Only profile when;

a) The business is no longer operating or cannot be reasonably verified.
b) The information is outdated, incomplete, or misleading
c) The category or region is being curated to improve consumer clarity
d) The business requests removal
e) The profile no longer contributes meaningfully to consumer decision-making

Businesses that wish to control, update or expand their presence may apply for a free Basic Subscription at any time. See the application.  Credibility Matters

Safe and Trusted Canada is not a regulator, accreditation body, or complaint authority. Consumers are encouraged to review all available sources and make their own decisions.

Safe and Trusted Canada focuses on helping consumers identify the most relevant and useful business options, rather than listing every business.

All our account types are for legitimate businesses.  The business owner must list their credentials and must not have any readily apparent issues known to consumers.  A business owner can apply at any time.

Only the business owner can authorize an account. We look for companies with credentials. Business Credentials

Protect Your Interests at all times.

Safe and Trusted Canada, "The Site"," now allows consumer reviews. Information-only profiles cannot respond or post reviews because they do not  have account status.  his will give the consumer information that may not be available unless the business takes out an account.

Users are responsible for viewing all the links, ratings, and reviews. The review sites can be positive or negative.   See the Better Business Links if they are available.  The links can change at any time.  The business as an Information Only profile is, as it is highlighted, " Information Only."

Information Only profiles can ask for archival of their listing if they are no longer in business.  If Google and Better Business Business Bureau have the business as closed, we will also archive and remove it.  They can also ask for removal as they own their business information.  The Site may remove businesses with incomplete information on periodic review.  Safe and Trusted Canada is a neutral site.

As a business,  if your Information Only Profile needs updating, the company can contact The Site.  There is no obligation for you to apply for an account, but suggest this as an option to grow your business further at no cost.  If you are out of business, please advise so that the site admin can archive your profile.
