Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Citizenship Canada is a free, independent study tool to prepare for the Canadian citizenship test. This page explains what data is collected when you use the site, why, and how to exercise your choices. The app has no user accounts.

Data we collect

Analytics (Google Analytics 4): page views, usage events, device and browser type, approximate location (country / region), referral source, and cookie identifiers. This helps us understand how the site is used.

Google advertising features (Google signals and ads personalization): when enabled and you consent, Google may associate your visit with information from signed-in Google accounts that have allowed this association (for example, to measure cross-device audiences and serve relevant ads).

Data stored locally on your device (localStorage), which is not sent to us: your language, theme, progress and attempt history. Clearing the site's data in your browser removes it.

Cookies and consent

The site uses analytics and advertising cookies provided by Google. On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline. Until you accept, these cookies stay disabled (Google Consent Mode v2: consent defaults to denied).

You can change your mind at any time by clearing the site's data in your browser: the banner will reappear on your next visit.

Why we use this data

  • Understand how the site is used and improve it.
  • Measure audiences, including across devices (if you consent).
  • Serve relevant ads and measure their effectiveness, including remarketing via Google Ads (if you consent).

Sharing with third parties

Analytics and advertising data is processed by Google (Google Analytics and, where applicable, Google Ads) as a provider. Google may process this data in the United States. See Google's privacy policy and the page "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services".

We do not sell your data.

Legal basis

For visitors in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Quebec (Law 25), among others, the use of analytics and advertising cookies and the related features rely on your consent, collected through the banner before any cookie is set.

Data retention

Google Analytics data is retained for the period configured in the GA4 property (by default, on the order of a few to several months). Data stored in your browser remains until you clear it.

Your rights and choices

  • Decline or withdraw consent via the banner (by clearing the site's data).
  • Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
  • Manage ads personalization in Google settings (adssettings.google.com) and review / delete your activity via Google My Activity (myactivity.google.com).
  • Depending on where you live, you may have rights of access, correction and deletion; contact us to exercise them.

Children

The citizenship test mainly concerns adults. The site is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect data about them.

Changes

We may update this policy. The last updated date is shown at the top of the page.
