Privacy policy
This policy explains what Best Paying Online Casino does with personal information when you read a page, follow a link to an operator, or write to us. It applies to this website only. Once you leave for a casino, that operator’s own privacy policy governs what happens next.
Who is responsible
The publisher of this site is the controller of the personal information described here. Questions, requests and complaints go to [email protected] with “privacy” in the subject line.
What we collect
- Technical data. IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time of the request. Our server records this to deliver pages and to detect abuse.
- Usage data. Pages read, links clicked, referring site and approximate location by country or region, collected through analytics.
- Affiliate click data. When you follow a link to an operator, the click is recorded so the operator can attribute a sign-up. It carries a campaign identifier, not your name.
- Messages you send. Your email address and whatever you write to us, kept so we can answer and follow up a correction.
What we do not collect
- No payment card details, bank details or casino account credentials — we never ask for them and never take deposits.
- No account with this site: there is nothing to register for, and no login.
- No special categories of personal information, and no data about your gambling activity from operators. We do not receive your account history from any casino.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies fall into three groups:
- Necessary. Keep the site working and remember your privacy choice. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics. Show which pages are read and where readers leave. Off until you accept them.
- Affiliate attribution. Let an operator recognise that a visit came from this site. Off until you accept them.
You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser. Blocking affiliate cookies does not stop you reading anything on this site.
Why we use it
- To serve pages and keep the site secure.
- To understand which pages are useful, so the research goes where readers actually are.
- To measure whether a link to an operator led to a sign-up, which is how the site is funded.
- To answer your messages, including corrections that affect a published figure.
Where consent is required — analytics and affiliate cookies — we rely on your consent and you can withdraw it at any time. For the rest we rely on the legitimate interests of running and securing a publishing site.
Who processes it
We share personal information only with service providers that run the site: hosting, analytics and email. They act on our instructions and are not permitted to use the data for their own purposes. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with operators beyond the campaign identifier described above.
Some providers may process data outside Canada. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by the provider’s contractual safeguards.
How long we keep it
- Server logs — a short period, long enough to investigate abuse.
- Analytics — in aggregated or de-identified form, for reporting on site performance.
- Messages — as long as needed to resolve the question, and longer where a correction has to stay on record.
Your rights
Under Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and, in Quebec, the provincial private-sector law, you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, and withdraw consent to its use. Write to [email protected]; we may need to confirm who you are before answering. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, in Quebec, the Commission d’accès à l’information.
Children
This site is written for adults. Gambling content is not intended for anyone under 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec, or under 19 elsewhere in Canada, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes are noted on this page rather than made silently.
