Hi all,

Last night I received a phone call from a Cogeco rep who told me a bucket load of information about myself and my new home, including my address...this is especially interesting since my new home isn't "mine" until August 16th and I don't know my address other than a lot number. Im in HVOP phase 3. This Cogeco rep contacted me offering me 3 month free service and so on...not bad incentives, but what puzzles me is that the rep indicated that they have a contract with Mattamy who provides the information of those new home buyers to Cogeco to make calls like this. Has anyone else received this type of call? I'm a bit concerned that Mattamy is releasing my information without my knowledge...who else are they giving it to? When I asked the rep these questions she indicated it is stated in our purchase agreement....I'll be checking that tonight, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone else has experienced this. Maybe I should just fluff it off...???


I didn't know about a contract with Mattamy but Cogeco has a dedicated sales rep for Mattamy new home buyers. Bell will also probably contact you with a special offer. I would have preferred Bell but when I moved in, Bell had to install a dish which I didn't want. Bell now connects with the fibre optics which all Mattamy new builds have installed so the dish is not required.

I actually did that on our current home--not to save the money, but because I tried Cogeco first, and I hated it.

To answer the original question -- yes, its in your contract (at least in my mattamy contract from 2009) in section 31 -- I'm not going to type it all out cause its a redic long run-on sentence but basically says they will give your personal information not limited to purchasers name, addy, email, #, DOB, marrital status, blah blah blah to a bunch of people: lenders supplying financing for construction and purchaser, tarion and here's the money '3rd parties which provide rental property, utilities or services to the real property (such as for example suppliers of security systems, telephone, cable television, telecommunications and utilities).
