This Privacy Policy explains how ontariotakehomecalc.ca ("we", "our", or "this site") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit our website. It also describes your rights regarding that information and how to exercise them.
This site is operated as part of the calc-hq.ca Canadian calculator network. It is a fully static website hosted on Cloudflare Pages with no backend server, no database, and no user account system of any kind. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
This policy is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the privacy laws of Ontario, Canada.
We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information through this website's own systems. Specifically, we do not collect:
All calculator inputs and outputs are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. No data you enter is ever transmitted to any server operated by us. When you close or refresh the page, all entered values are permanently discarded.
While we do not directly collect personal data, certain third-party services embedded on this site may automatically collect information about your visit through standard web technology — HTTP requests, cookies, and tracking pixels. This collection is governed entirely by the respective third party's own privacy policies, not ours. The third parties present on this site are Google (AdSense advertising) and Cloudflare (hosting and CDN infrastructure), each described in detail below.
This site does not set any first-party cookies. We do not use cookies for analytics, session management, user preferences, or visitor tracking of any kind.
However, Google AdSense — which serves advertising on this site — sets third-party cookies on your device. These cookies allow Google to serve ads relevant to your interests, measure ad performance, and limit repetitive ad exposure. Google's advertising cookies may track activity across websites that display Google ads, not just this site.
You can manage your Google ad personalization settings at adssettings.google.com, or opt out of third-party advertising cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. Blocking cookies will not affect calculator functionality.
This site participates in Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-7744853829365165). Google uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior activity on this and other websites — commonly referred to as interest-based or behavioural advertising.
We do not have access to or control over the cookies Google places on your device, and we do not receive personally identifiable information about individual visitors from Google as a result of AdSense. We only receive aggregated, anonymized reports on overall ad performance.
For complete details on how Google collects and uses data in connection with its advertising products, please review Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy and their advertising technology overview at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and delivered via Cloudflare's global CDN. When you visit this site, your browser request is routed through Cloudflare's infrastructure. Cloudflare may collect standard web server data — such as IP addresses, request timestamps, and requested URLs — for network security, DDoS mitigation, and performance purposes.
This data is collected and retained by Cloudflare under their own privacy policy, available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy. We do not access, control, or retain individual visitor log data from Cloudflare.
If you submit a message through our contact page, any personal information you voluntarily provide — such as your name or email address — is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell, share, or use contact submissions for marketing purposes. Submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your message.
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. This tool is intended for adults, employees, students, and individuals managing their personal finances. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
This site contains links to external websites including Canada.ca, the Canada Revenue Agency website, and other tools within the calc-hq.ca network. These links are provided for informational convenience only. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy law, you have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, and to withdraw consent for processing where applicable. Because this site does not collect personal information through its own systems, there is typically no personal data held by us to access or correct.
If you submitted information through our contact form and wish to request its deletion, please contact us using the details in Section 13.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including rights to data portability and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As this site does not directly collect personal data, our GDPR obligations are primarily limited to ensuring that third-party services on this site are deployed in compliance with applicable law.
We do not sell personal information to any third party, nor do we share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. The only third-party data interactions that occur on this site are through Google AdSense's advertising system and Cloudflare's hosting infrastructure, each governed by their own published policies.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or the third-party services used on this site. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of this site following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this privacy policy or the handling of your personal information, please reach out through our contact page or email us at partnerships@calc-hq.ca. We will respond to all privacy inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
