Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
24 casino (24casino-ca.com) is an editorial site that publishes reviews, news, and guides about online casinos for Canadian readers. This privacy notice explains what personal and technical data we may collect when you use the site, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have under Canadian privacy law including PIPEDA and applicable provincial rules. We do not operate casino services; our role is publishing editorial content and linking to operators.
We strive to keep data minimal and relevant to running the website and responding to reader inquiries. If you follow a link to a casino operator, that operator’s privacy policy and practices will apply after you leave our site. We have no access to personal data collected by third-party operators after you click through.
Data we collect
We collect two broad types of information: technical data created automatically when you visit the site, and contact or content data you provide directly through forms, comments, or email.
Technical data may include IP address (or anonymized IP), browser type and version, operating system, device type, pages viewed, referrer URL, timestamps, and basic behaviour data needed to deliver the page. This data is used to run and secure the site and to analyse general readership patterns.
Contact and content data are limited to what you voluntarily give us: your name and email when you subscribe or ask a question, and any text you include in feedback, comments, or review submissions. We do not ask for or process payment details, gambling account credentials, government ID, or sensitive personal data.
- Automatically collected technical information
- Reader-provided contact and message content
- Logs of outbound link clicks and affiliate referrals
Why we use data
We use technical data to operate the website, protect it from abuse, diagnose errors, and understand readership trends so we can improve content and site performance. Contact data is used to reply to enquiries, process corrections, and manage newsletter subscriptions when you opt in.
We also keep minimal logs of outbound link clicks and referral information to reconcile affiliate links and measure which pages drive referrals. These logs only record click events and do not give us access to any personal data held by the destination operator.
Cookies and tracking
We use essential cookies required for basic site functions. We do not use analytics or marketing cookies that track you across other websites for advertising purposes. If this changes we will update this policy and provide clear notice.
Some embedded content (videos, social widgets) may set third-party cookies controlled by the content provider. Those cookies and their purposes are governed by the third party, not by 24 casino.
Storage and retention
We retain technical logs and reader messages only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described or to meet legal obligations under PIPEDA and applicable provincial rules. Typical retention periods vary by record type: transient logs are kept short-term for security and troubleshooting; contact or subscription records are retained until you ask us to delete them or withdraw consent.
Data is stored on secure servers operated by our service providers. These providers process data on our behalf and follow reasonable security practices. Where data is transferred outside Canada we take contractual and technical steps to protect it in accordance with Canadian privacy requirements.
