Privacy Policy
Updated: September 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy applies to the Canada Visa & PR Tracker mobile application published by SilverAppli.
Version 1.1.2 and later contain no in-app advertising and no ad-serving or tracking SDK. Earlier versions (1.1.1 and before) included free-tier ads. The data practices below identify where those versions differ.
Canada Visa & PR Tracker is an independent app that helps users view public immigration information and track their own application timeline. The app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Government of Canada.
Information stored on your device
The app stores certain information locally on your device so it can restore your setup and timeline.
This may include:
- Application category and selected application type
- Submission date, country of origin, and Quebec or non-Quebec selection when relevant
- Timeline milestones, custom milestone labels, notes, and emoji selections that you enter
- App preferences such as language, theme, onboarding state, and review prompt state
Public data sources and network requests
The app retrieves public immigration information and related content from external services.
This may include:
- Canada Visa & PR Tracker worker endpoints used to deliver cached public processing-time and draw data
- Government of Canada public immigration pages and news services
- CIC News RSS content shown in the news section
- Official IRCC and Government of Canada links that open in your browser when you tap resources in the app
Technical data processed by service providers
When the app fetches remote content, handles subscriptions, delivers notifications, or opens external services, infrastructure and platform providers may receive standard technical data as part of normal app, web, and app-store operations.
This may include:
- IP address
- Request timestamps
- Basic device, browser, and network metadata
- Selected application category or country code when needed to retrieve the correct public dataset
Service providers used by the app may include:
- Firebase Analytics
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Firebase Cloud Messaging
- RevenueCat
- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and related consent or privacy messaging tools — in versions 1.1.1 and earlier only; removed in 1.1.2
The app syncs an installation record with the PR Tracker Canada worker when opened or when notification settings change, even if alerts are off. It includes an anonymous app user ID, installation ID, platform, language, alert preferences, and a Firebase Cloud Messaging token when available. If processing-time alerts are on, the record also includes each subscribed application's generated ID, type, country code, and Quebec selection when relevant. If draw alerts are on and you have saved a CRS score, it may include that score. Your timeline notes and full CRS calculator profile are not sent to the worker.
Firebase Analytics receives app usage events, including the application category and type selected during setup. Firebase Crashlytics receives crash and error reports. RevenueCat receives the anonymous app user ID and purchase status to manage subscriptions.
Subscriptions
If you purchase a subscription, billing is handled by the applicable app store, such as the App Store or Google Play, depending on your device and platform.
Subscription status and related purchase information may also be processed by RevenueCat to help manage entitlements, restore purchases, and validate access to premium features.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, the app may use Firebase Cloud Messaging and platform notification services to deliver alerts about processing times or Express Entry draws. The installation sync described above also occurs when alerts are off.
You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.
What we do not do today
- No in-app advertising and no advertising or tracking SDK in version 1.1.2 and later
- No tracking of you across other companies’ apps or websites in version 1.1.2 and later
- No in-app account creation or login
- No sale of personal information
- Self-entered milestone notes remain on your device
- The full CRS calculator profile is never sent to the PR Tracker Canada worker
Sharing and third parties
We do not sell or intentionally share your self-entered milestone notes or application details.
Limited information may be processed by platform or infrastructure providers when you:
- open the app
- change notification settings
- use app-review prompts
- share content
- open email or browser apps
- fetch remote data
- restore subscriptions
- view ads or respond to advertising consent prompts — versions 1.1.1 and earlier only
Data retention and deletion
Your application setup and milestone history remain on your device until you delete them.
You can remove your data by:
- Using Settings > Clear All Data in the app to remove stored application data and milestones
- Uninstalling the app, which usually removes locally stored app data, subject to platform backup and restore behavior
The app does not currently maintain a personal cloud account for your timeline data.
Third-party websites and services
The app may link to third-party websites or services, including government pages, app-store pages, email apps, news sources, subscription services, analytics providers, and crash-reporting providers. Versions 1.1.1 and earlier also contacted advertising services.
We are not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of third-party services.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. If our data practices materially change, we will update the effective date and the text of this policy.
