Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

What We Do

WhatIKeep is a free Canadian take-home pay calculator. All calculations run entirely in your browser. Your salary data is never sent to any server.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• Salary amounts or personal income information
• Names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information
• Social insurance numbers or tax return details

Data We Do Collect

Page views and usage analytics (via Vercel Analytics): We collect anonymized page views, browser type, device type, and country. Vercel Analytics is cookie-free and does not store IP addresses.

Aggregated calculator events: We track which provinces and pay frequencies are selected, and salary ranges (bucketed, never exact amounts) to improve the calculator. No individual salary amounts are recorded.

Cookies

Core functionality: No cookies are used for the calculator itself. Your salary data stays in your browser and is never stored.

Advertising (if consented): Google AdSense may set cookies for ad personalization. These cookies are only set if you click “Accept” on the cookie consent banner. You can decline without affecting calculator functionality.

Consent preference: A single localStorage entry records your consent choice. This is not a cookie and is never sent to any server.

Third-Party Services

• Vercel Analytics: Privacy-first analytics. No cookies, no PII collected.
• Google AdSense: If you consent to cookies, AdSense may set cookies for ad targeting. The AdSense script only loads after you explicitly accept.

Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you. We hold none. You may withdraw consent for advertising cookies at any time by clearing your browser data.

Quebec Law 25 Compliance

Cookie consent is obtained before any cookie-setting scripts are loaded, in compliance with Quebec’s Law 25 (Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector).

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when changes are made. Since we collect no contact information, no notification mechanism is provided.
