Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how Casinia casinia-canada.com (referred to as "we", "our" or "us" throughout) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. We are an independent information portal providing reviews and guidance about online gaming operators. This policy applies only to data we collect through this website — it does not cover any casino or sportsbook operator we write about, each of which maintains its own privacy terms.
Who is responsible for your data
casinia-canada.com is the data controller for any personal information you provide to us directly. We determine how and why your data is processed when you use our editorial and contact services. Any information you choose to share with a gaming operator through their own platform falls under that operator's privacy policy, not ours.
What information we collect
We collect two categories of data: information you give us voluntarily, and technical data gathered automatically as you browse.
Information you provide: When you contact our editorial team via email or a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not ask for payment details, identity documents, or account credentials — those belong with the operator you are asking about, not with us.
Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we gather technical information through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages you visit on our site, time and date of each visit, and referring site. We use this data to understand how visitors navigate casinia-canada.com and to improve the experience.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis
We process personal data for the following purposes, each with its lawful basis under UK data protection law:
- Responding to your enquiries — lawful basis: legitimate interest in providing editorial support and answering questions about our content.
- Improving site performance and content — lawful basis: legitimate interest in understanding visitor behaviour and optimising the information we publish.
- Analytics and measurement — lawful basis: consent, obtained through our cookie banner when you first visit.
- Compliance with legal obligations — lawful basis: legal obligation, where applicable.
Who else sees your data
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties. We do share limited data with the following categories of processor, solely to operate this site:
| Processor type | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Web hosting provider | Storing site files and serving pages | IP address, browser data, pages visited |
| Analytics platform | Measuring traffic and engagement | Anonymised usage data, IP address |
| Email service | Delivering contact-form submissions to our editorial inbox | Name, email address, message content |
Each processor is bound by contract to handle your data securely and only for the purpose we specify. We do not permit them to use your information for their own marketing. Where a processor is located outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place under UK GDPR, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful basis to keep it.
- Right to restriction of processing — ask us to pause processing while a dispute or query is resolved.
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer elsewhere.
- Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interest, including for marketing purposes.
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing relies on consent (such as analytics cookies), you may withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or our cookie banner.
How to exercise your rights
To make a request or raise a concern about how we handle your data, contact our editorial team at [email protected]. We will respond within one month of receiving a valid request. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk for guidance on how to raise a concern.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Contact-form submissions and editorial correspondence are kept for up to two years to maintain a record of enquiries and our responses. Technical and analytics data is anonymised or deleted after 26 months. Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer identify you.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate or in response to legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "last revised" date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a notice on the site. Continued use of casinia-canada.com after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
Last revised: 23 October 2026
