Privacy Policy

This CRS Calculator privacy policy explains how CRSCalcu.ca handles information when you use our website and calculator.

What This CRS Calculator Privacy Policy Covers

This CRS Calculator privacy policy applies to crscalcu.ca and to the tools published on it, including the CRS score calculator and the guides that sit alongside it. It does not apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada systems, to your own IRCC or Express Entry account, or to any other website you reach by following a link from ours. References to we and us on this page mean the team that operates crscalcu.ca.

Calculator Data

Our CRS calculator runs entirely in your web browser. The numbers and selections you enter are used only to calculate your score on your own device and are never transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.

What We Don’t Collect

You do not need to create an account to use our calculators, and we do not ask for your name, immigration file number, date of birth, or any other personally identifying details in order to see your results.

Information Collected Automatically

Like almost every website, our hosting provider records basic technical information each time a page is requested. These server logs can include an IP address, browser and device type, the page that was requested, the referring page, and the date and time of the visit. Information of this kind is used to keep the site online, diagnose errors, and protect against abuse such as automated scraping or attempts to overload the server. It is never joined up with the values you type into the calculator, because those values never leave your device in the first place.

Analytics and Cookies

We may use standard, privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand overall site traffic, such as which pages are visited. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies You Can Control

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies will not stop you from using the CRS calculator itself, though some site preferences may not be remembered between visits.

How We Use the Information We Have

The limited information described above supports a short list of purposes: keeping the site secure and available, understanding which tools and guides are actually useful so that we can improve them, and reproducing display or formatting problems that readers report to us. We do not sell personal information, and we do not need your identity in order to provide anything on this site.

Data Retention and Security

Because the calculator does not transmit what you enter, there is no stored record of your age, education, language test results, or work history for us to keep, lose, or hand over. Technical logs are held only as long as our hosting provider needs them for security and troubleshooting, and the site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection so that traffic between your browser and our server cannot easily be read while it travels. No system is completely secure, but keeping the calculation on your own device removes the largest risk by design rather than by promise.

Saving or Sharing Your Results

If you screenshot, print, copy, or bookmark your CRS result, that copy now lives on your device or in whatever service you sent it to, and this policy no longer governs it. Treat it with the same care you would give any other immigration document, particularly before posting it in a forum, a group chat, or a social media community where strangers can read it.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to official government sources, such as canada.ca, for verification purposes. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults researching Canadian immigration pathways and is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you. Because our calculators run in your browser and we do not require an account, there is generally no personal profile tied to your visit beyond aggregate, anonymized analytics. If you have questions about your data, you can reach us using the contact details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this CRS Calculator privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site or in applicable regulations. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
