Privacy Policy for Peasant Finance

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 1, 2026

At Peasant Finance (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our website (the “Website”) and use our financial tools.

Our core philosophy is sovereignty, and that extends to your data. We do not want your private financial data, and we do not keep it.

1. The Peasant Finance “Zero-Retention” Calculator Guarantee

Peasant Finance provides various interactive financial tools, including the Mortgage & Equity Projection Lab, Debt Command Center, and other calculators.

How your data is handled in these tools:

  • Client-Side Processing: All numbers, financial figures, and scenarios you input into our calculators are processed entirely within your own web browser.

  • Zero Storage: We do not track, log, save, or transmit the data you enter into these calculators to our servers.

  • Total Erasure: The moment you refresh the page, navigate away, or close your browser tab, your inputted data is permanently erased.

2. Information We Actually Collect

Because our calculators are entirely private to your browser, we only collect personal information when you explicitly choose to give it to us through other means.

A. Information You Provide Directly:

  • Contact Forms: If you use our contact forms (e.g., to request a consultation or connect with our Renovation Partners like Homezec or Northlife), we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, property details, and project scope.

  • Communications: If you email us directly, we retain the contents of your message and our response.

B. Information Collected Automatically: Like almost all websites, we automatically collect basic, non-identifying information to ensure the Website functions correctly and to understand our traffic.

  • Log Data: Your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit on our site.

  • Cookies: Small data files stored on your device that help the Website load faster and remember your basic preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some website features may not function perfectly.

3. How We Use Your Information

If you voluntarily provide us with your contact information, we use it solely for the purpose you intended:

  • To respond to your inquiries or consultation requests.

  • To connect you with requested third-party partners (only when you explicitly ask us to do so via a specific form).

  • To send you requested resources or newsletters (if you have opted-in).

We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties.

4. Third-Party Links and Partners

Our Website contains links to external partners (such as 8Twelve Mortgage, our vetted contractors, or literature recommendations). If you click a link and leave Peasant Finance, you are subject to the privacy policies of those specific third parties. We are not responsible for the data collection practices of external websites.

5. Data Security

We implement standard industry security measures to protect the Website and any contact form submissions. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Any personal information you choose to send us via email or contact forms is done at your own risk.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under Canada’s PIPEDA), you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you (which is limited strictly to communications you have initiated).

  • Request that we correct or update your information.

  • Request that we delete your contact information from our email records.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
