Privacy Policy - Casino Canadian
Introduction
We are a casino review site, so the irony of asking you to trust us with your data is not lost on us. This page lays out, without the usual legalese, exactly what we keep when you drop by casinocanadian.com, why we keep it, how it is looked after and what you can tell us to do with it. It covers every visitor to the site and was last refreshed in June 2026.
Casino Canadian is an independent Canadian review outfit run editorially by Johnny Thompson, iGaming Editor and Senior Reviewer. We rate Canadian-facing casinos - both the AGCO-registered Ontario operators and the offshore sites licensed under Curacao eGaming - and we run no gambling service of our own.
If you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].
What Information We Collect
There are two ways data reaches us: the bits you hand over on purpose, and the bits your browser leaves behind automatically.
What you hand over yourself is small. Sign up for the newsletter and we keep your email and, if you give it, a first name. Use the contact form and we keep your name, email and whatever you wrote. Send us a tip and we keep what is in it. That is the lot.
What arrives automatically is the usual web housekeeping: an IP address, your browser and operating system, the page that sent you, the pages you opened and the times you did. Cookies sit in here too, split into the session ones that keep the site working, the analytics ones that show us which reviews people read, and the affiliate ones that tell a casino we sent you so we earn our commission (the cookie page breaks these down). We also note screen size and device type, purely to keep the mobile layout sensible.
What we never touch: card numbers, Social Insurance Numbers, or any sensitive financial detail. We review casinos; we do not run one.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
1. To operate and improve the site - analysing traffic patterns, fixing errors, and improving the user experience. 2. To send newsletters - if you opted in, we send periodic emails about new casino reviews, bonus updates, and responsible-gambling resources. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email. 3. To respond to enquiries - when you contact us through our form, we use your details solely to reply to you. 4. To track affiliate referrals - when you click a link to a casino partner, a cookie records that referral so we receive a commission if you register. This does not affect the price you pay or the bonus you receive. Our editorial reviews are independent of these commercial relationships. 5. To comply with legal obligations - we retain certain log data as required by applicable Canadian law.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies
We use cookies to make our site work and to understand how it is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings or via our cookie consent banner, which appears on your first visit. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies will not prevent you from reading our reviews, but it may affect how we track affiliate referrals.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Can You Opt Out? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Site functionality | No (required) |
| Analytics (Google Analytics) | Traffic measurement | Yes |
| Affiliate/advertising | Commission tracking | Yes |
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services:
- Google Analytics - anonymised traffic analysis. Google's privacy policy applies: policies.google.com.
- Mailchimp - newsletter delivery. Your email is stored on Mailchimp's servers in the United States under standard contractual clauses.
- Affiliate networks - including direct casino partner programs. These networks may set their own cookies when you click through to a casino site. Please review each casino's privacy policy before registering.
Once you leave casinocanadian.com and arrive at a casino's website, that casino's own privacy policy governs your data. We encourage you to read it carefully.
Data Retention
- Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe, after which it is deleted within 30 days.
- Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months and then deleted.
- Server log data is retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes.
- Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form for up to 26 months.
Your Rights
Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA, plus your province's own rules) gives you real control over the little data we hold. In plain terms, you can ask us to:
- show you a copy of what we have on file;
- fix anything that is wrong;
- stop using your data by pulling the consent you gave us, though anything we did beforehand still stands;
- delete your record entirely, unless a law says we must keep part of it.
One email does it. Write to [email protected], put "Privacy Request" in the subject line, and we will sort it within 30 calendar days.
Affiliate Disclosure
Casino Canadian earns revenue through affiliate commissions when readers click our links and register at partner casinos. This commercial relationship does not influence our review scores or editorial conclusions. Our 7-category weighted scoring methodology - covering deposits, bonuses, game library, withdrawals, customer support, mobile experience, and responsible gambling - is applied consistently to every casino we test, using a real C$ deposit made by our review team.
Responsible Gambling & Age Verification
Casino Canadian is intended for adults aged 19 or older, which is the legal gambling age in Ontario and most Canadian provinces. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 19, and our content is not directed at minors.
If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with gambling, free, confidential support is available 24/7:
> ConnexOntario - 1-866-531-2600 | connexontario.ca
We include responsible-gambling information in every casino review and weight it as one of our seven scored categories because player protection matters to us as much as bonus value or game selection.
Security
Everything you send us travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we keep access to the little we store limited to the people who actually need it. We are honest about the ceiling, though: nothing sent across the internet is ever completely watertight, so we cannot promise perfect security, only sensible care.
Changes to This Policy
This page changes when our practices change or Canadian law moves underneath it. Routine tweaks just shift the "last updated" date at the top. If we change something that truly affects you, we will flag it on the homepage for at least 30 days so it does not slip past you.
