Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
This privacy statement describes how Win Spirit Casino (the editorial site at ws-casino-ca.com) collects and processes data from visitors to our editorial casino guide. The policy covers the site itself and its editorial operations only. It does not cover external casino operators, games, or platforms you reach by following links from this site. Those operators have their own privacy practices.
We operate under Canadian privacy law, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy rules. Where provincial rules apply, they complement the protections described here.
What we collect
We collect a limited set of technical, contact and usage data to operate the site, respond to inquiries and analyse site performance. We do not collect gambling account, payment card, or player account data for any casino operator.
- Technical data from your device and browser, including IP address, browser type and version, device type, screen resolution and basic operating system information. This information is captured in server logs.
- Usage data about how you interact with the editorial site: pages visited, links clicked, referral page, timestamps, and basic navigation paths.
- Contact data you provide directly when you write to us by email or submit information in a site form, such as your name and email address and the content of your message.
- Voluntary content you post publicly on the site, such as comments, reviews or forum posts, along with any identifying information you include in those posts.
How we use data
We use collected data for a few straightforward purposes: to operate and maintain the site, to respond to reader questions and requests, to improve editorial content and navigation, to protect the site against abuse and fraud, and to meet legal obligations. Where useful, we aggregate and anonymize data for internal reporting and editorial decisions.
We do not use reader data for third‑party marketing or behavioural advertising on other sites. If you provide contact information, we will only use it to respond to your request or for purposes you explicitly consent to.
Cookies and tracking
This site does not use analytics or marketing cookies. We may use minimal technical cookies or session identifiers that are necessary for basic site functionality. We do track outbound clicks to measure referrals and determine which editorial content is most useful, but we do not link those measurements to advertising profiles.
Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or to meet legal or regulatory obligations. Typical retention periods include server logs retained for operational and security purposes for up to 12 months and contact messages retained only as long as required to resolve the inquiry or as required by law.
When data is no longer required, we delete or render it anonymous in a way that prevents re‑identification.
