Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information CreditCardGuru (“we”, “us”) collects when you use https://creditcardguru.ca, how we use it, and the choices you have. We handle personal information in line with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Information we collect
- Usage & analytics: pages you visit, referring site, device and browser type, and approximate (city-level) location, collected through analytics tools to understand how the site is used.
- On-device preferences: your theme (light/dark) and compare selections are stored locally in your browser — they stay on your device and aren't sent to us.
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we collect the email address you provide so we can send you updates.
- Affiliate referrals: when you click a card link, we and our affiliate partners may record the click (via cookies or URL parameters) to attribute any resulting commission. We do not receive your credit card application details.
How we use information
To operate and improve the site, measure performance, send the newsletter to subscribers, attribute affiliate referrals, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
We use essential cookies plus analytics and affiliate-attribution cookies. You can control or block cookies in your browser settings; essential features may not work without them.
Third parties
We share limited data with service providers that help us run the site — analytics providers, our email/newsletter provider, and affiliate networks. They process data under their own privacy policies and only as needed to provide their service.
Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link in any email. To make a request, contact us at privacy@creditcardguru.ca.
