Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 July 2026

Introduction

Casinofinder.ca ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the personal information of our Canadian readers. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal information when you visit our website or interact with our content. By using Casinofinder.ca, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

This policy is designed to comply with Canada's federal privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as applicable provincial privacy laws. We encourage you to read this policy carefully so you understand your rights and our obligations.

Information we collect

Casinofinder.ca is a news and information publication. We do not require visitors to create an account, subscribe, or provide personal information to access our articles, guides, or analysis. However, we may collect information in the following circumstances:

  • Contact information: If you choose to contact us by email or through our contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, province of residence, and the content of your message.
  • Technical information: When you browse Casinofinder.ca, our web servers and analytics partners may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages, referral URLs, and timestamps. This information is typically aggregated and does not identify you personally.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and understand how our content is consumed. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following legitimate purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries, feedback, or press requests submitted through our contact channels.
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the performance, content, and user experience of Casinofinder.ca.
  • To analyse aggregate readership trends, measure the reach of our articles, and understand which topics are most relevant to our Canadian audience.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security incidents, or misuse of our website.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations, regulatory requests, or court orders.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Legal basis for processing

Under PIPEDA, we are required to identify the purposes for which personal information is collected at or before the time of collection. We rely on the following lawful bases for processing:

  • Consent: When you voluntarily provide your contact information by emailing us or using our contact form, we treat this as implied consent to respond to your message.
  • Legitimate interests: We process technical and analytics data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure, well-functioning news website and improving our editorial coverage for Canadian readers.
  • Legal compliance: We may process personal information where necessary to comply with Canadian law or cooperate with law enforcement agencies.

Sharing and disclosure of information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers (such as web hosting, analytics, and email delivery services) to perform functions on our behalf. These providers are contractually bound to use personal information only for the specified purpose and to protect it in accordance with this privacy policy and Canadian privacy standards.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the safety of our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers: If Casinofinder.ca undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

Data security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include the use of encryption (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews of our hosting and software infrastructure.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to exercise caution when transmitting personal information online.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Technical and analytics data may be retained in aggregate or anonymised form for longer periods to support our editorial and operational planning.

If you contact us by email, we will retain your message and our response for a reasonable period to ensure we can follow up if necessary, after which it will be securely deleted unless we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory reasons.

Your privacy rights

Canadian privacy law grants you certain rights regarding your personal information. Subject to applicable legal limitations, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you, and request a copy of that information.
  • Correction: Request that we correct any inaccuracies or omissions in your personal information.
  • Withdrawal of consent: Withdraw your consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Complaint: Lodge a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we have not handled your personal information in accordance with PIPEDA.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may request verification of your identity before processing certain requests.

Cross-border data transfers

Casinofinder.ca is hosted on infrastructure that may operate outside of Canada. As a result, some technical data (such as IP addresses and analytics logs) may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions, including the United States. When this occurs, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information in accordance with Canadian privacy principles.

Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including provincial lottery corporations, regulatory bodies, and news sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so you remain informed about how we protect your information.
