Privacy Policy

At Finvyu, owned and operated by WASD Midia Digital, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users’ personal information. Finvyu’s content is intended for users in Canada. This policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the provincial privacy laws that apply to each user, and Google’s advertising transparency requirements.

1. Accountability and Consent

1.1 – Accountability: WASD Midia Digital is responsible for the personal information processed on Finvyu. Any question or request about privacy can be sent through our Contact Page.

1.2 – Consent: By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described here. In accordance with Google Consent Mode v2, we respect your choices regarding advertising and analytics cookies.

1.3 – Withdrawal: You may withdraw your consent for data processing at any time through our Contact Page or by changing your cookie preferences on the site.

2. Information We Collect

  • Information you provide: Name and email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.
  • Automated data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and time spent on the site, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Consent signals: Technical data regarding your preferences for ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization.

Finvyu does not ask for and does not collect financial information such as bank account numbers, card numbers, income or credit history. Credit applications are made exclusively on the websites of the financial institutions.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Operate the website and show content relevant to your visit.
  • Measure traffic and improve our content.
  • Display advertising, including personalized ads when you allow it.
  • Measure the results of our own ad campaigns on other platforms.
  • Reply to messages and send the newsletter to those who subscribed.

4. Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2

4.1 – We use cookies to improve your experience and analyze traffic. Our site is integrated with Google Consent Mode v2, ensuring that:

  • Analytics cookies are only activated if you grant permission for analytics_storage.
  • Personalized ads are only processed if you grant permission for ad_personalization and ad_user_data.

4.2 – If you decline consent, the site may send cookieless signals (“pings”) that do not store cookies on your device and are used only to measure site performance in aggregate, without identifying you personally.

5. Third-Party Advertising

5.1 – We work with third-party vendors, including Google, that use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to Finvyu and other sites on the internet.

5.2 – To learn more about how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

5.3 – Ad campaign measurement: We may use tools such as the Meta Pixel to measure visits that come from our ads on other platforms. These tools may collect information about your visit and are subject to the same consent choices described in Section 4.

6. Your Choices and Opt-Out Rights

You can manage or opt out of interest-based advertising at any time:

  • Google: Turn off personalized ads at My Ad Center.
  • AdChoices Canada: Opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies at youradchoices.ca.
  • Network Advertising Initiative: Manage preferences for many advertising networks at the NAI Consumer Opt-Out page.
  • Your browser: Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work properly without cookies.

Opting out does not stop ads from appearing. It means the ads you see will be less related to your interests.

7. Data Retention

7.1 – Retention period: We only retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, such as sending the newsletter or replying to a support request.

7.2 – Newsletter data: Kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion.

7.3 – Anonymization: When the retention period ends, data is permanently deleted or made anonymous so it can no longer be linked to an individual.

8. Data Sharing and Storage Outside Canada

8.1 – We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared only with service providers that help us operate the site, such as hosting, analytics, advertising and email providers, and only for those purposes.

8.2 – WASD Midia Digital and some of these providers are located outside Canada. Your information may therefore be stored and processed in other countries, where it may be subject to the laws of those countries, including access requests from their authorities. We require these providers to protect your information in a way consistent with this policy.

9. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial laws, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Deletion: Ask us to permanently remove your personal information from our records.
  • Withdraw consent: Withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Challenge compliance: Raise any concern about how we handle your information through our Contact Page. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

10. Minors

Finvyu is not directed at people under the age of majority in their province or territory, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a minor has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Security

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against loss, theft or unauthorized access. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be published on this page with a new revision date.
