1. Controller
The controller for personal information collected through realcanadainvest.com is the educational project Real Canada Invest, 250 University Avenue, Suite 310, Toronto, ON M5H 3E5, Canada. This policy describes an informational website. It does not describe a brokerage, an advisory account, or a trading service, because those services are not offered here.
2. Contact
Privacy questions can be sent to learn@realcanadainvest.com or by post to the address above. You can also call +1 (416) 555-0196. We use these channels to answer questions about the site. We do not use them to collect investment profiles.
3. Form data
The contact form asks for your name, email address, an optional subject, and a message. We use that information to read what you sent and to reply. We do not add the address to a marketing list. Please do not include account numbers, identity documents, or details of a personal portfolio in the message. The form is for questions about the educational material.
4. Automatically collected data
Hosting a website ordinarily produces technical logs, which may include an IP address, the date and time of a request, the browser type, and the page requested. We use that kind of record to keep the site available and to diagnose faults. We do not combine it into a profile of your interests.
Two preferences are stored in local storage on your device, not in a cookie file: eduNoticeAck records that you closed the educational notice, and cookieConsent records whether you accepted or declined the storage notice. You can remove both by clearing site data for this domain in your browser.
5. Legal basis
We handle personal information under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy law. The contact form is sent because you choose to send it. Technical logs are kept for the reasonable purpose of operating and securing the site. We do not rely on a consent banner to authorise analytics or advertising, because those tools are not in use.
6. Purposes
We use personal information only to reply to messages, to remember the notice and storage choices on your device, to keep the site running, and to meet a legal duty if one applies. We do not use it to score credit, to build an investor profile, or to recommend a product.
7. Analytics
This site does not use an analytics service. We do not measure campaigns, and we do not embed analytics scripts. If that changes, this policy will be updated before the tool is switched on.
8. Advertising
The project’s stated model includes advertising and educational content. This website does not currently run advertising scripts, advertising cookies, or third-party ad networks. Educational pages are free to read. We do not receive commissions for recommending investment products.
9. Third parties
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser requests those files from Google’s servers, and that request can include your IP address. We do not control Google’s handling of that request. The stylesheet link is the only third-party resource this page loads for presentation. We do not sell personal information, and we do not pass form messages to advertisers.
10. Retention
A contact message is kept only as long as needed to reply and to keep a short record of the exchange, then deleted. It is not stored as a customer file. Local-storage preferences stay on your device until you clear them. Server logs follow the retention period of the host and are not kept as a marketing archive.
11. Your rights
Subject to PIPEDA and any applicable provincial statute, you may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask for a correction, or withdraw consent to further use where consent is the basis. You may also challenge our handling of the information. Send the request to learn@realcanadainvest.com. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you. Some information may be kept if a law requires it.
12. Transfers
The site is operated from Canada. A hosting provider may process technical logs in order to serve the pages. If a provider is outside your province, the information can be subject to the laws of that place. We do not transfer contact messages to a data broker, an affiliate network, or an investment platform. There is no investment platform connected to this site.
14. Changes
We will update this page if the way the site handles information changes. The current text is the one that applies. It was prepared for the educational site as published in 2026.
