Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
This site is an editorial casino guide for Canadian readers. We collect and process a limited set of technical and contact data necessary to operate the website, respond to inquiries, and provide reviews and guides. This privacy page explains what we collect, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights available to readers under Canadian privacy rules such as PIPEDA and relevant provincial legislation.
We are not a casino operator. When you follow links to third‑party gaming sites or operators, you are leaving this site and will thereafter be subject to the operator’s privacy practices. We do not control and do not have access to data those operators collect after you click their links.
Types of data collected
We collect only the categories of data necessary for site operation and reader communication. This can include:
Contact information you provide directly, such as your email address when you subscribe, comment, or contact support. Technical and device information automatically collected when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and the pages you view. Interaction data, like comments, form submissions, and any content you post publicly on the site. Aggregated usage information about page visits and general site performance.
- Email addresses and message content you submit to support or subscription forms
- IP address and standard server logs
- Browser and device details
- Publicly posted comments or submitted content
- Aggregated page access statistics
How we use data
We use collected data for a narrow set of purposes: to respond to reader enquiries, to manage subscriptions and comments, to maintain and improve the site, and to ensure a safe browsing experience. Technical information helps us diagnose problems, optimize site presentation across devices, and protect against abuse. Contact emails are used only to reply to your specific request or, if you opt in, to send editorial newsletters. We do not use reader data to profile individuals for marketing or share it for direct marketing without explicit consent.
When you post a comment or other content publicly, that content becomes visible to other readers. We recommend not sharing personal identifiers in public posts.
Cookies and tracking
This site does not use analytics or marketing cookies. We may use minimal, strictly functional cookies required for basic site operation, such as maintaining a session or remembering language preferences. These technical cookies do not track you across other websites and are not used for advertising. If you have concerns about cookies, you can manage or block them through your browser settings, though blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.
Data storage and retention
We retain contact and inquiry records only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose they were collected for, respond to your request, or comply with legal obligations. Technical logs and aggregated usage data are kept for a limited period to support troubleshooting, security monitoring, and statistical reporting; retention periods are designed to be proportionate and reviewed periodically. If you request deletion of your contact data, we will remove it from active systems except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes consistent with this policy.
