Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
Crash Casino is an editorial guide for Canadian readers. This privacy notice explains what personal and technical information this website processes, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights readers have under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy rules. The policy applies to data processed by this website only. It does not cover data collected by external casino operators you may visit after following links from our pages.
We aim to keep the description concise and practical. If you have questions about how we handle data or wish to exercise a right, contact [email protected].
Data we collect
We collect a limited set of technical and contact data necessary to run an editorial website, respond to reader inquiries, and improve content. We do not collect sensitive financial information or gambling account details for third-party casinos. Contact data is collected only when you provide it voluntarily, for example when you email [email protected] or subscribe to a newsletter where available.
Technical data is collected automatically when you visit the site through standard server logging and web requests. We may also retain aggregated or anonymized statistics derived from logs to understand traffic and improve site performance.
- Technical data: IP address, device and browser headers, pages viewed, referrer URL and timestamps recorded in server logs.
- Contact data: name, email address and any message content you provide in emails or contact forms.
- Optional data: newsletter preferences or other preferences you explicitly provide.
- Aggregated data: anonymized traffic summaries and content performance metrics.
Purpose of use
Information we collect is used for a small set of editorial and operational purposes: to deliver and maintain the website, respond to reader inquiries, investigate and prevent abuse, and improve content and navigation. We do not use reader data for profiling or targeted advertising.
If you opt into a newsletter or another voluntary service, your contact data will be used only to provide that service and for related communications you consent to receive. You may withdraw consent to such services at any time by contacting [email protected].
Cookies and tracking
This site does not use analytics or marketing cookies. We may use essential session cookies strictly required for basic site function and retain server logs to diagnose technical issues. No behavioural tracking for advertising purposes is performed on this site.
Storage and retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described here or to meet legal obligations. Server log data used for debugging and security is typically retained for up to 12 months. Contact messages and any voluntary subscription information are kept while needed to provide support or the subscribed service, generally no longer than 36 months unless a longer retention period is required by law.
When retention is no longer necessary we delete or anonymize personal information. If deletion would interfere with a legal obligation or an ongoing dispute we may retain data until that issue is resolved.
