Who we are

PRCardRenewal.info (“we,” “our,” or “the site”) is an independent immigration information website. We are not affiliated with the Government of Canada, IRCC, or any legal or immigration body. Our website is located at https://prcardrenewal.info/. This Privacy Policy applies to all pages and content on that domain.

Information collected automatically

When you visit PRCardRenewal.info, our web server and third-party analytics services automatically record certain technical data. This includes your IP address (anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, the pages you visit and the time spent on them, the website that referred you to ours, and your approximate location based on IP (country or city level only).

This data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve our content. It is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use the following types of cookies:

Analytics cookies — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors interact with our site (e.g., which pages are most visited). Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _gid. This data is processed by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising cookies — We display advertisements through Google AdSense and similar third-party advertising networks. These networks may set cookies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity. These cookies are set by the advertising network, not by us. You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

Functional cookies — Some basic cookies may be set to remember your preferences during a browsing session (e.g., form inputs). These expire when you close your browser.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of this site function.

PRCardRenewal.info uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

How we use your information

We use the information collected to: understand how visitors use our website and improve our content; monitor site performance and fix technical issues; serve relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks; and respond to inquiries you send us directly.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes. We do not use your data to send unsolicited emails or marketing communications.

Third-party services

Our website may use the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data:

Google Analytics — Website traffic analysis. Google Privacy Policy

Google AdSense — Display advertising. Google Privacy Policy

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.

External links

Our website contains links to external websites including official government pages such as canada.ca. Once you leave PRCardRenewal.info by clicking a link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites and encourage you to review their own privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Data retention

We do not maintain a database of personal user information. Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to Google’s own data retention settings and policies. If you contact us directly by email, we retain that correspondence only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which it is deleted.

Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect this website and any data transmitted through it. Our site is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Since we do not collect sensitive personal data, the risk to users is minimal, but we encourage you to take standard precautions when browsing any website.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last reviewed” date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
