This Privacy Policy explains how Estima.ca ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our website and tools. By using Estima.ca, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we may collect
- Messages you send us: your email address and message content when you contact us.
- Inputs to our calculators: figures you enter are processed to produce estimates. You do not need to identify yourself.
- Technical and usage data: server logs, device and browser type, approximate location from IP, pages visited, basic analytics events.
- Optional account data: for features like rate alerts, we store your email and preferences.
How we use information
- Operate, maintain and improve Estima.ca.
- Respond to your messages and requests.

- Detect abuse, prevent fraud and secure the platform.
What we do not do

Cookies and Google Analytics
Estima.ca uses optional Google Analytics cookies to measure site usage. These are not required. On your first visit a small banner asks to accept or reject analytics cookies; we use Google Consent Mode v2 so no analytics or advertising storage is set until you accept. We do not run advertising cookies.
You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer. Rejecting analytics does not affect any calculator or content.
Data retention
We keep contact messages and account data for as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time.
