Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 28, 2026

Immigration Tools (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://immtools.sattisolutions.com/, a free educational website offering Canadian immigration calculators, draw results, and related tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use our website.

We are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in line with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), where it applies.

1. Who we are

Immigration Tools provides self-serve immigration planning tools for educational purposes. We are not Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), a law firm, or a licensed immigration consultancy. Our website may feature or link to services offered by independent partners, including Canada Abroad (canadaabroad.com), a separate business that provides regulated Canadian immigration consulting services. Canada Abroad’s own privacy practices are governed by its policies, not this one.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to operate our tools, communicate with you (if you opt in), and improve the website. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

2.1 Information you provide voluntarily

  • Calculator and tool inputs — Data you enter into tools such as the CRS Score Calculator, Express Entry Eligibility Checker, OINP/BC PNP/PNP calculators, NOC Finder, and CLB converter (for example, age, education, language scores, work experience, and similar profile details).
  • Email and name — If you choose to save results or subscribe to updates, we may collect your email address and optional name.
  • Contact form — Name, email address, subject, and message content when you contact us.
  • Comments — If you post on tool discussion areas, your display name, email (not shown publicly), and comment text.
  • Push notification subscription — If you enable browser notifications, your device receives a push subscription identifier (technical endpoint and encryption keys). We do not receive your phone number for push alerts.

2.2 Information collected automatically

  • Usage and device data — Such as IP address (often truncated or anonymized where possible), browser type, pages visited, referring URL, and general location derived from IP.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — Used for essential site functions, preferences, analytics, and (where applicable) performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
  • Progressive Web App (PWA) data — If you install our site to your home screen, local storage or cache may store assets for offline use; this stays on your device unless synced by your browser.

2.3 Information we do not intentionally collect

Our tools are not designed to collect passport numbers, IRCC application numbers, financial account details, or other highly sensitive government identifiers. Please do not submit information you are not comfortable sharing for an educational website.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • Operate calculators and return results based on your inputs;
  • Store optional calculator submissions when you provide an email (for example, to review your CRS estimate later);
  • Send email or push notifications you have requested (such as new Express Entry draw alerts or general immigration updates);
  • Respond to contact inquiries and moderate user comments;
  • Maintain security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues;
  • Analyze aggregated, non-identifying usage trends to improve our tools and content;
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

4. Express Entry draw data

Draw results displayed on our site are synced from publicly available IRCC sources for informational purposes. This federal draw data is not personal information about you. If you subscribe to draw alerts, we use your contact details only to notify you when new rounds are published.

5. Email and push notifications

If you subscribe to email or browser push notifications:

  • We process your subscription preferences (for example, Express Entry draw alerts vs. general site news).
  • Each marketing or alert email includes a way to unsubscribe. Push notifications can be disabled in your browser or device settings.
  • We do not sell your email address or push subscription to third parties for their own marketing.

6. Canada Abroad and third-party services

We collaborate with Canada Abroad to help visitors who need professional immigration advice. When you click a link to Canada Abroad or book a consultation through their website:

  • You leave our site and become subject to Canada Abroad’s privacy policy and terms;
  • We may use standard link tracking (such as UTM parameters) to understand referrals from our site;
  • We do not automatically share your calculator inputs or email with Canada Abroad unless you separately provide that information to them or we describe a specific integration at the time.

Our website may also link to official government resources (for example, canada.ca), provincial programs, and other third parties. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

7. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these circumstances:

  • Service providers — Trusted vendors who help us host the website, send email, deliver push notifications, provide analytics, or support security (under contractual confidentiality obligations).
  • Legal requirements — When required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
  • Business transfers — In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
  • With your consent — Where you have given clear permission for a specific disclosure.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law. For example:

  • Calculator submissions may be retained for analysis and product improvement, then deleted or anonymized on a reasonable schedule;
  • Email subscribers remain on our list until you unsubscribe or we remove inactive addresses;
  • Push subscriptions are removed when expired, invalid, or you unsubscribe;
  • Contact form messages are retained as long as needed to respond and maintain records.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information, including HTTPS encryption in production, access controls on our systems, and secure handling of notification credentials. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • Request correction of inaccurate information;
  • Request deletion, subject to legal and operational requirements;
  • Withdraw consent for email or push communications at any time;
  • Disable cookies via your browser (note that some features may not work).

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law.

11. Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for adults planning immigration to Canada. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. International visitors

Our servers and service providers may be located in Canada or other countries. If you access the site from outside Canada, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different privacy laws. By using the site, you acknowledge such processing as described in this policy.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will change when we do. Material changes may also be noted on the website. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised policy.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada regarding PIPEDA-related concerns.
