Last reviewed: June 2026
Last updated: 23 June 2026
Best Casinolist ("we", "us") is a Canadian-published online casino editorial and affiliate-directory website operating at https://best-casinolist.com/. We take privacy seriously. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our site, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under Canadian privacy law — specifically the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the provincial privacy laws of British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec where applicable.
Who we are
Best Casinolist is a casino-review publisher. Our editorial operations are based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Our Editor-in-Chief, Claire Bennett, is a longstanding iGaming journalist and GPWA member. You can read her full bio on the Editor Profile page and more about our publisher entity on the About page.
We are a publisher and affiliate directory. We do not accept wagers, hold player funds, or provide gambling services. When you click an outbound link to a casino operator from our site, you leave our site and enter the operator's own platform with its own terms and privacy policy.
What information we collect
Automatic information (every visitor)
- Log data: IP address, approximate geographic location (country/region level), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. Collected by our web server and hosting provider.
- Cookies and tracking: We use a limited set of first-party cookies for essential functionality, analytics, and affiliate-link attribution. See our Cookie Policy for full detail and opt-out instructions.
- Referrer data: When you arrive via a search engine or external link, the referring URL is logged. When you leave to an affiliate partner, our affiliate network may track that click for attribution.
Information you provide voluntarily
- If you contact us by email ([email protected]), we receive your email address, your message content, and any attachments you send.
- We do not operate a newsletter, user account system, or comment section at this time. We do not collect payment information, date of birth, ID documents, or any other account-creation data.
Why we collect this information
- Site operation and security: detecting and preventing abuse, diagnosing errors, maintaining uptime.
- Editorial analytics: understanding which content readers find useful so we can improve it. We use privacy-respecting analytics where possible.
- Affiliate attribution: when you click a casino-operator link from our site and open an account at that operator, our affiliate network may credit us with a share of the operator's revenue from your net deposits over time. This is how we are funded — see our About page for our full affiliate-disclosure position.
- Responding to you: when you email us, we use your contact details to respond.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not run programmatic display advertising. We do not share your data with advertisers.
Third parties
We rely on the following categories of third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Hosting and CDN: Our hosting provider stores our web-server logs for diagnostic purposes. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days unless a security incident extends retention.
- Analytics: We may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (such as a self-hosted solution or an anonymised commercial tool). No user identifiers are collected beyond standard session metadata.
- Affiliate networks: When you click a casino-operator link, the affiliate network (for our Canadian partners: Rewards Affiliates, Super Partners, Playamo Partners, or Direct / Direx N.V.) may place a cookie or use a URL parameter to attribute your click. Each network's privacy policy applies.
- Email: When you email us, our mail provider processes the message.
How long we keep your data
- Server logs: up to 30 days (extended only on security incident).
- Analytics data: aggregate, not personally identifiable.
- Email correspondence: retained while the matter is active, then archived for up to 2 years for reference and dispute resolution, then deleted.
- Affiliate-attribution cookies: lifetime as set by each affiliate network (typically 30–90 days).
Your rights under Canadian law
You have the right to:
- Know what personal information we hold about you;
- Access that information;
- Correct inaccurate information;
- Withdraw consent (where applicable) for ongoing collection;
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we've mishandled your information.
If you are in British Columbia, you have additional rights under the BC Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA-BC). If you are in Alberta, the Alberta PIPA applies. If you are in Quebec, Loi 25 (the Act to modernise legislative provisions respecting personal information) applies.
To exercise any of these rights, email our privacy contact at [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request". We aim to respond within 30 days as required under PIPEDA.
Children's privacy
Our content is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their Canadian province — that is 19+ in most provinces and 18+ in Alberta, Quebec, and Manitoba. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe we have received information from a minor, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we hold. Our site is served over HTTPS, our hosting is operated on a commercial platform with standard security practices, and our editorial systems require authenticated access.
No internet transmission is perfectly secure. If you believe your correspondence with us has been intercepted or a breach has occurred, contact us immediately.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where the change is material, note the change in a brief changelog at the end of this page. Continued use of our site after the posted date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
