No account. No email.
Anonymous by design
Every free tool on ClearToEnter is 100% anonymous in three ways the code proves. You use it without an account and without an email, and what you type into it is not sent to us. A visit still leaves ordinary traces. Google Analytics counts page views, the host keeps request logs, and saved entries stay in your own browser.

analytics service on the site: Google Analytics, which counts page views and sets its own cookies
What does 100% anonymous mean here?
It means three things, and each one is about the free tools. No tool asks for an account, an email, a name or a phone number. What you type or choose in a tool is worked out in your browser. It is not sent to us or to Google Analytics.
A visit to any website leaves some trace, and this site is the same. The host receives the address of each page you open. Google Analytics counts the page view. The sections below list each trace and what it holds.
Some people have a strong reason to read about immigration law without giving a name. A past conviction is one. A status that has run out is another. So is a home country where the question itself is dangerous. Nobody has to give a reason.
What leaves your browser and what stays?
The first box is your browser. The second box lists what crosses its edge.
Your browser
What stays
- What you type or choose in a tool
- The words you search for: the law search, the site search and the NOC Finder
- The result a tool shows you
- The entries a tool saves for your next visit
- The amount and the currencies in the money tools
Across the edge
What leaves
The address of each page you open, and of the files that page needs
To the host
A web server needs the address to send the page. A page address can name a topic, such as a country or an occupation code.
A page-view count with a random number for your browser
To Google Analytics
It also works out an approximate region from your IP address, and it is told when the Facebook follow button is clicked.
A request for the law file, and one for the day’s exchange rates
To this site
Both ask for the same file for every visitor. Nothing of yours is in them.
An email and a card, if you buy a book
To Stripe, once the library opens
Nothing is on sale today, so this does not happen yet.
Who receives what leaves?
- The host
- Vercel serves the pages. Like other web hosts it keeps standard server logs, and those may include the IP address that asked for a page and the address of that page. What you type into a tool is in neither.
- Google Analytics
- It loads after your first scroll, tap, key press or mouse movement, or after eight seconds. It runs with its default settings and counts page views: the address of the page, the kind of device and an approximate region worked out from your IP address. Settings held on Google’s side decide whether it also records a scroll or a click on a link that leaves the site. It does not receive a name or an email, because the site asks for neither.
- Cookies
- Google Analytics sets cookies whose names begin with _ga. They hold a random number, so a second visit from the same browser is not counted as a new visitor. The site sets no cookie of its own today. Advertising cookies are not used.
- The rate services
- The money tools show exchange rates. This site’s server fetches them from a commercial rate service and from the Bank of Canada, then hands them to your browser. Your amount and your currencies are not part of that request.
- Stripe, once the library opens
- Nothing is on sale today. When the library opens, Stripe will take the payment and hold the buyer’s email and card details. The site will keep no account and no list of buyers. A cookie will keep a bought book open on the buyer’s device.
The privacy policy sets this out in full.
How can you check this?
Each claim on this page rests on something in the site’s code. This table says what that is and how to see it for yourself.
| The claim | What proves it | See it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| A tool sends us nothing you type | A script reads the code of every page. It holds the list of addresses on this site that a page may call, with what each one carries. A call to any other address fails the check. So does a call with a variable in its address.File: scripts/check-privacy-claims.mjs | Open your browser’s developer tools on a tool page and watch the Network panel while you type. The site’s own files may load. No request carries your words. |
| The law search runs in your browser | The server route that used to answer law searches was deleted. The same script fails if it comes back. The law is now one file, downloaded once and searched on your device.File: src/lib/search/law-client.ts | Search the law with the Network panel open. One file loads on the first search. Nothing is sent as you type after that. |
| Google Analytics gets page views and nothing you type | The analytics setup is one line with the default settings. The site’s code calls Google Analytics in one other place: a click on the Facebook follow button, sent with a fixed label.File: src/app/[locale]/layout.tsx | Filter the Network panel for “collect”. Each request names the page. None holds what you entered. |
| No advertising or social media tracker loads | The site’s security policy lets scripts load from this site, from Google’s tag service and from Stripe. A script from any other company is refused by the browser.File: next.config.mjs | Read the Content-Security-Policy header on any page, in the Network panel. |
| Saved entries stay on your device | Tools save under names that begin with cte- in the browser’s local storage. The request check above covers them too: no call to this site carries them.File: src/app/[locale]/my/page.tsx | Open the Application or Storage panel and look under Local Storage for this site. |
| The site sets no cookie of its own today | The language cookie is switched off. The one other cookie in the code keeps a bought book open, and checkout is switched off.File: src/i18n/routing.ts, src/config/paid-surfaces.ts | Look under Cookies in the same panel. The names there begin with _ga. |
What do we promise?
We make these six commitments in public.
We will never require an account to use our tools.
We will never require your email address, phone number, or any identifying information to use a free tool.
A library purchase, once the library opens, goes through Stripe, and Stripe asks for an email.
We will never sell or trade visitor data, and we share none for anyone’s commercial use.
The site keeps no list of visitors and no database of answers. Google Analytics and the host process page counts and request logs for the site, as set out above.
We will not contact you unless you write to us first.
The site holds no email address and no phone number for any visitor.
We will never share your research activity with immigration authorities or consultants.
Google Analytics and the host see page views, as set out above. Nobody else is given them.
If we ever change these commitments, we will say so publicly on this page, clearly and immediately.
How do you erase what a tool saved?
Many tools remember what you entered, so you do not start again on your next visit. The entries are written to your browser’s local storage under names that begin with cte-. No copy is sent to us, and we cannot read or erase them for you.
The Admissibility Explorer keeps your answers in the open tab, and only if you turn saving on. They are gone when the tab closes.
Open Your workspace
It shows the learning-path steps, the checklist ticks and the practice score saved in this browser.
Press Clear everything
It removes every ClearToEnter entry from this browser’s local storage, the pause setting for the falling leaves included. Nothing that belongs to another site is touched.
Or clear it in the browser
Clearing this site’s data in your browser settings does the same. It removes the Google Analytics cookies too.
What has changed on this page?
The sixth promise says a change is announced here.
No changes yet. The log starts on the day the site formally launches.
Privacy questions
Are the tools 100% anonymous?
Yes, in three ways the code proves. A free tool needs no account, asks for no email and sends us nothing you type into it. A visit still leaves ordinary traces. Google Analytics counts page views with a random number for your browser, and the host keeps request logs that may include IP addresses.
Can ClearToEnter identify me from my tool usage?
Not from what you type, because it is not sent to us. The site asks for no name, email or account. What does exist is a count of page views in Google Analytics, tied to a random number for your browser, and the host’s request logs, which may include IP addresses. Neither holds a name.
Do you share data with the Canadian government or IRCC?
No. The site sends visitor data to no government body, and it asks for no name or email that it could pass on. ClearToEnter is independent. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of Canada.
What happens to my answers when I use a tool?
They are worked out in your browser and are not sent to us. Many tools also save them in your browser’s local storage, so they are there on your next visit. Google Analytics counts that the page was opened. It does not receive what you typed.
What about the progress I save on the site?
It is kept in your browser’s local storage, and no copy is sent to us. The Your workspace page shows your learning-path steps, checklist ticks and best practice score. Its Clear everything button removes every ClearToEnter entry from that storage.
Is my IP address logged?
The site’s host, Vercel, keeps standard server logs. Those may include IP addresses and the address of the page requested. Google Analytics uses your IP address to work out an approximate region for its page counts. What you type into a tool is in neither.
Do you use third-party advertising or tracking pixels?
No advertising pixel, retargeting script or social media tracker loads on this site. Google Analytics is the one outside script, and it counts page views. The site’s security policy lets scripts load from this site, from Google’s tag service and from Stripe, and from nowhere else.
If I buy a book, does that create a record of me?
Nothing is on sale today. Once the library opens, Stripe will process the payment and hold your email and card details as its own record of the sale. ClearToEnter will not see or store your card number, and no account will be created on this site. A cookie on your device will keep the book open.
Does something here not match what you see?
Write and say what you saw and on which page. We will check it against the code and correct the page or the site.
