Scope and contact
This policy describes how CanadaPath handles information in its mobile app, website, and the services that support them. CanadaPath provides independent immigration information and is not affiliated with the Government of Canada.
For privacy questions, access, correction, or deletion requests, email ruy_fusion@hotmail.com. Please describe the feature or device involved without sending passwords, payment card details, passport numbers, or immigration documents.
Information we process
- Website: our hosting and security providers process connection information such as IP address, browser information, request time, and requested resource to deliver and protect the site. The dashboard uses Google Firebase App Check and reCAPTCHA Enterprise to distinguish legitimate requests from abuse.
- Website preferences: your Light, Dark, or System choice is stored in your browser. Draw searches and filters are used in the current page session. The website does not initialize an advertising or analytics SDK.
- Mobile installation: the app registers an installation identifier and credential. The backend may hold a notification delivery identifier, device model, app and OS versions, locale, time zone, nickname, language preferences, and last activity time.
- Personalization and alerts: if you use these features, we process your saved CRS score, selected province, notification preferences, and alert conditions such as programs, categories, score ranges, and minimum invitations. Delivery records support notification reliability and prevent duplicate alerts.
- Subscriptions: we process store transaction identifiers, product, subscription status, and renewal, expiry or revocation information to verify access. Apple handles App Store payment details; CanadaPath does not receive your full payment card number.
- Support: when you email us, we receive your address and the information you choose to send. If you explicitly share diagnostics, the shared information is also part of your request.
How information is used
We use this information to deliver public immigration data, remember settings, match requested alerts, send permitted notifications, verify subscription access, respond to support requests, diagnose errors, and prevent fraud or misuse. The website does not offer account registration, purchases, or push notification enrollment.
Optional device permissions are controlled by your operating system. You can use public website information without a mobile subscription. Some mobile features require a verified subscription.
Service providers and links
CanadaPath uses Google Firebase and Google Cloud for hosting, app verification, and mobile notification delivery, and hosted PostgreSQL infrastructure through Supabase for backend records. Apple provides App Store purchases and the Apple push notification service. Our email provider processes correspondence sent to the contact address.
These providers may process information outside your province or country, subject to the laws where processing occurs. We may disclose information when legally required or to protect the service and its users. Opening an official source or other external link takes you to that provider’s service and privacy practices.
See Google’s Privacy Policy, Google’s Terms of Service, Supabase’s Privacy Policy, and Apple’s privacy information.
Storage and retention
Browser appearance preferences remain until you clear site data or change them. Mobile settings and cached public content can remain on your device until removed through the app or device controls. Installation, alert, delivery, and subscription records are stored on our backend to operate those features and support security, transaction verification, and necessary record keeping.
Retention depends on the record’s purpose and applicable requirements. Deleting the app does not by itself delete backend records or cancel a store subscription. Contact us to request deletion of information associated with your installation. We may need limited information to verify that the records belong to you, and we will explain any records that must be retained.
Your choices and rights
- Change appearance on this website or clear its stored preferences through your browser.
- Manage notification preferences in the app and revoke notification permission in device settings. Removing permission does not cancel a subscription.
- Manage or cancel an App Store subscription in your Apple account’s subscription settings.
- Ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or raise a concern about its use, by emailing the contact above. Available rights and exceptions depend on applicable law.
We use access controls and verification mechanisms to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive immigration documents through support email.
Children and policy updates
CanadaPath is intended for people seeking immigration information, not as a service directed at children. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can investigate.
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date shown above. Where a change requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it through the relevant service.
Mobile app prompt
On mobile Chrome, we remember when you dismiss the app suggestion for the current browser tab session. This preference stays in browser session storage and is not sent to our servers.
