§ 1

Scope

This privacy policy applies to CanadaGamblers, operated by CanadaGamblers Inc., and any subdomain operated under the same brand. It describes what we collect, why, who sees it, and the rights Canadian residents have under PIPEDA, BC PIPA, Alberta PIPA, and Quebec Law 25.

CanadaGamblers does not knowingly serve users outside Canada. References to GDPR, CCPA, or other foreign regimes are intentionally absent.

§ 2

What we collect

Account info Display handle, email, password hash, province selection, age confirmation
Complaint content Submitted text, evidence files, operator name, status
Review content Star rating, body, sport/category tags
Behavioral signals Page views, session duration, search queries, device fingerprint
Technical IP address, user-agent, referrer, cookies

We do not collect government ID, real name, or payment-card data. CanadaGamblers is an editorial site, not an operator.

§ 3

Why we collect

  • Account info: to authenticate you, prevent abuse, and apply rules that follow from your declared province, including age gate and Ontario bonus suppression.
  • Complaint content: to mediate complaints and publish anonymized records that help future players.
  • Behavioral signals: to improve content relevance and detect ranking-manipulation attempts.
  • Technical data: security, fraud prevention, and basic analytics.
§ 4

Disclosure to third parties

Operators Receive complaint content so they can respond; never your email unless you opt in
Mediators Internal staff see the full evidence package
Aggregate analytics Shared with no third party in identifiable form
Sale of data Never
§ 5

Public-publication licence

By submitting a complaint or review, you grant CanadaGamblers a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish the anonymized version, including handle assignment, province segment display, and evidence redaction.

§ 6

Retention

Complaint records Typically six years from case closure
Account metadata Life of account plus wind-down window
Technical logs 90 days unless flagged for security review
Breach register At least 24 months
§ 7

Your rights

  • Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: request that inaccurate data be corrected.
  • Withdrawal of consent: revoke consent for processing that relies on it.
  • Deletion: request erasure where no overriding legal or contractual obligation exists.
  • Portability: receive a machine-readable export of personal information you provided to us.
  • Automated-decision-making transparency for Quebec residents: be informed when a decision about you is made exclusively by automated processing and request human review.

Email the Privacy Officer to exercise these rights. We respond within 30 days. If we cannot meet that window, we notify you in writing with the reason and a revised date.

§ 8

Children's data

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals below the minimum legal gambling age in their province. The applicable threshold is 19 in most of Canada, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec.

Where Quebec Law 25 imposes a parental-consent threshold for users under 14, we additionally honour that threshold for Quebec residents.

§ 9

Cross-border transfers and data residency

CanadaGamblers stores primary data and backups within Canada, in the Toronto region of our cloud provider. Where a sub-processor is located outside Canada, we apply the contractual and organisational safeguards required by PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25.

§ 10

Breach notification

If a breach creates a real risk of significant harm, we notify affected users and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and where Quebec residents are affected, the Commission d acces a l information du Quebec, as soon as feasible.

§ 11

Cookies and tracking

See the Cookie policy for the full cookie disclosure. Quebec Law 25 imposes a strict-consent model on non-essential cookies, which is our default posture across all provinces.

§ 12

Privacy Officer

CanadaGamblers Inc. designates Marie Leblanc as Privacy Officer responsible for compliance with PIPEDA, BC PIPA, Alberta PIPA, and Quebec Law 25. Contact [email protected] for privacy requests.

§ 13

Anti-spam (CASL)

Marketing email, SMS, and push messages from CanadaGamblers are subject to Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation. We require express opt-in consent, every commercial message contains an unsubscribe link that takes effect within ten business days, and every message carries our physical mailing address.

§ 14

Changes

We post material changes 30 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

§ 15

Operator-account data

Verified operator representatives may use /operator-console/. We collect the representative email address, declared name, declared title or role, and console session metadata. We do not collect government ID, corporate registration documents, or billing information from operator accounts.

Operator representatives do not see the player real identity, contact information, or unredacted evidence. The anonymized handle is all that crosses to the operator side.
