Privacy policy of this Canadian salary calculator 2026

Last updated: October 17, 2026 · Version française

In short

Canada Net Pay is a static website published by Radif Partners. It measures visits with Google Analytics, which sets audience measurement cookies, and shows no advertising; its publisher keeps no personal information about you. This policy is written with the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in mind and, for visitors in Quebec, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector as amended by Law 25.

What you type into the calculators

Gross salary, province or territory, pay frequency, RRSP contributions, CPP or OAS figures: whatever you enter to estimate take-home pay, income tax, CPP, EI or Old Age Security is computed by JavaScript on your own device. None of it is sent to a server, stored in a database or saved on your device; closing the tab erases it. When you share a link to a result, the amount and province travel in the part of the address after the #, which browsers never send to the server.

Cookies and audience measurement (Google Analytics)

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which calculators and guides are useful: pages viewed, referring page, visit length, device and browser type, approximate country and city. To do so Google Analytics sets two cookies on your device: _ga, which tells visitors apart with a random identifier, and _ga_D1XK1X1CQW, which keeps the state of the visit. Their lifetime is set to 13 months at most (390 days) and is not extended on each visit; Google’s default is 2 years. These two are the only cookies the site uses; your browser’s local and session storage stay empty.

• What Google receives: the IP address is anonymised (Google Analytics 4 neither logs nor stores it). The page address is sent without its parameters, so the figures you type never reach Google. The site carries no advertising: ad storage, ad personalisation and Google signals are switched off, and no data is shared with any advertiser.
• Who processes it: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as a processor (Article 28 GDPR). Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States, under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
• How long: 14 months at Google for visit-level and identifier-level data, then deletion.
• On what basis: the publisher’s legitimate interest in knowing which pages are used, a purpose a reasonable person would consider appropriate (PIPEDA, s. 5(3)); for visitors from the European Union, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. There is no banner to click through.
• How to opt out: block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Every calculator works the same way.

Anonymous stability monitoring

To spot what breaks (script errors, slow loading, buttons that do not respond to clicks, odd scrolling), the site runs Microsoft Clarity in cookieless mode. In this mode Clarity writes none of the cookies _clck, _clsk, MUID or CLID. Every page view gets its own identifier, so two page views, or two visits, are never tied together. The text of the page and the figures you type are masked in your browser before anything leaves it: Microsoft never sees your salary or your province.

• Who processes it: Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland. The data may be processed outside Canada, including in the United States; see Microsoft’s privacy statement.
• Why: a technical, anonymous check that the pay and pension calculators load and compute correctly.
• How long: page-view recordings are deleted after 30 days, aggregated figures after 13 months.
• On what basis: the publisher’s legitimate interest in a calculator that works, a purpose a reasonable person would consider appropriate (PIPEDA, s. 5(3)); for visitors from the European Union, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
• How to opt out: block clarity.ms in your browser or content blocker (every calculator works the same without it), or write to contact@canadanetpay.com.

Hosting logs

The site is served by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.). Like any web server, it records technical details of each request, such as IP address, time, page requested and browser, to keep the service secure and running. The publisher cannot see these logs and makes no use of them.

If you contact us

A message sent to contact@canadanetpay.com or through the contact page is used only to reply. Your address is not put on a mailing list or shared with anyone.

Your rights and complaints

Under PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25 you may ask what information is held about you and have it corrected. Since the publisher keeps none, this in practice concerns only messages you have sent us; for stability monitoring you can also contact Microsoft, and for audience measurement Google. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, 30 Victoria Street, Gatineau QC K1A 1H3, Canada (report a concern) or, in Quebec, to the Commission d’accès à l’information.
