Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
Valentino Casino operates this editorial site to publish reviews, guides, and news about online casinos for Canadian readers. This privacy page explains what technical and contact data we may process when you use the site, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights available to readers under Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy rules. For questions or requests, contact [email protected].
We are an editorial publisher, not an operator of gambling services. This page covers data processing by this website only; it does not cover the privacy practices of third-party casinos or other sites you may visit via links from our pages.
Data we collect
We collect a limited set of technical and contact information necessary to operate the site and respond to reader enquiries. We do not collect payment information or create player accounts.
When you contact us by email, we collect the information you provide in your message, typically your name, your email address, and the message content. We keep the minimum needed to respond and resolve the enquiry.
- Technical data recorded automatically: IP address, device and browser type, referrer, pages visited, timestamps, and server logs
- Click data for outbound links, including the page you clicked from and the destination URL (this supports link reporting and affiliate tracking)
- User-supplied contact data when you write to [email protected]
How we use data
Data is used only for clear editorial and operational purposes. We rely on technical information to keep the site secure, ensure pages load correctly, and detect abuse. Aggregated, non-identifying log data helps us understand which content is useful and where improvements are needed.
Contact messages are used to answer questions, investigate issues, or correct information on the site. Click data for outbound links is used to measure referral traffic and support affiliate reporting; it does not grant us access to any personal data collected by the receiving site after you leave valentino-casino-ca.com.
- Operate and secure the site
- Improve content and user experience using aggregated logs
- Record and report outbound link referrals for editorial analysis and affiliate reporting
- Respond to reader enquiries and correct site information
- Comply with legal obligations if required
Cookies and tracking
We do not use analytics or marketing cookies. The site may use minimal technical cookies required for basic functionality. We do not deploy third-party analytics or advertising trackers that profile visitors across other sites.
Our link referral tracking uses URL parameters or server-side logs to count clicks; this does not extend our access to any personal data that an operator collects after you navigate to their site.
Storage and retention
We retain the shortest amount of information necessary for the purposes described. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to resolve the matter and may be archived for up to 24 months for record-keeping and quality control. Aggregated log data and referral counts are retained to allow trend analysis and site maintenance and are typically kept for up to 12 months.
Access to stored data is restricted to authorised site personnel. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, disclosure, or destruction.
