Privacy Policy
At Canada Finance Tools, operating under Day Month Media (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Financial Data & Calculator Inputs
We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal financial data. All numbers, salaries, and variables entered into our calculators are processed locally in your browser to generate your results.
When you use our budgeting tools, mortgage calculators, or tax visualizers, that information remains completely anonymous and is not tied to your identity, IP address, or user profile.
Information We Collect
While we do not harvest personal financial data, we do collect certain non-personally identifiable information to keep the site operational and free to use. This includes:
- Usage Data: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., pages visited, time on site, browser type). This data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Voluntary Information: If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter or contact us via email, we will collect your email address solely for the purpose of communicating with you. You may opt out at any time.
Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)
Canada Finance Tools uses cookies to improve user experience and to fund the development of our free tools through advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads across the site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

Once you leave our website, we are no longer responsible for your privacy. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of every website that collects personally identifiable information.
Data Security
We implement standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect the integrity of our website. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our website and financial tools are designed for adults managing their personal finances. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete it from our servers.
