Privacy policy and data protection
Overview
This privacy notice explains how Casino1 (casino1-ca.com) collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal and technical information on this editorial casino-guide site. The policy covers data handled directly by this website and does not cover external casino operators or other third parties you reach through links. If you follow an external link, that operator’s privacy policy will apply to any information you provide to them.
We process personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy rules. If you have questions about how we handle your data, contact [email protected].
Data collected
We collect only the information necessary to operate the site, respond to inquiries, and improve our content. The following items describe the types of data we may process.
Technical data collected automatically when you visit: server logs that record your IP address, approximate geolocation derived from IP (country/province), browser type and version, device type, referring page, pages viewed on this site, and timestamps. We use these technical details to operate the site and diagnose issues.
Contact and voluntary data you provide directly: email address and message content when you contact us at [email protected], and any information you include when subscribing to an optional newsletter or leaving an editorial comment, if those features are available.

How we use data
We use the data described above for a small set of concrete purposes: to operate and secure the site, to respond to reader inquiries, to manage subscriptions, and to produce aggregated, non-identifying statistics about site usage that help improve editorial content and site performance.
We do not use collected information for marketing or share identifiable personal data with external advertisers. We do not process financial information because this site is an editorial guide and not a gambling operator.
Cookies and tracking
This site does not use analytics or marketing cookies. We may use essential cookies or equivalent mechanisms strictly necessary for basic site functions and to maintain a visitor session, but we do not deploy third-party analytics or advertising cookies from which the site would profile users for marketing purposes.
Server-side logs are used to generate aggregate usage reports. These reports do not contain personally identifiable information and are used only to help improve content and technical reliability.
Storage and retention
We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law. Typical retention practices on this site are: server logs and technical records retained for up to 12 months to support security and troubleshooting; contact messages and related correspondence retained until the issue is resolved plus up to 24 months for service quality and record-keeping; newsletter subscription records retained until you unsubscribe.
When data is no longer required it is deleted or irreversibly anonymized. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored data against unauthorized access and accidental loss.
