Privacy policy and data protection

Overview

This privacy notice explains how McLuck Casino's editorial site (mcluck-casino-ca.com) handles personal and technical data submitted or observed while you read our reviews, guides, and features. The site is an editorial publisher and not an operator of any casino. We describe what data we collect, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights available to readers in Canada under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy rules.

We aim to be transparent about data collected directly on this site. If you follow links to external casino operators, you leave this site and that operator's privacy policy applies. We do not control external sites and have no access to their post-click data.

Data Collected

We collect a limited set of technical and contact information needed to run an editorial site and to respond to reader inquiries. We do not solicit personal information beyond an email address when you contact support.

Where helpful, we record aggregated usage to understand site performance and stability. We do not maintain user accounts, process payments, or operate gambling services.

• Technical data: IP address (anonymized where feasible), browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and basic server logs.
• Contact data: email address when you contact support at [email protected]. We store the content of your message and our reply to resolve the request.
• Referral click records: when you click an affiliate link we may record the click event, destination URL, timestamp, and affiliate identifier to ensure link tracking works.
• Aggregated data: anonymized or aggregated analytics used for site maintenance and editorial decisions.

How We Use Data

Collected data is used only for purposes necessary to operate the editorial site, maintain security, fulfil reader requests, and evaluate content performance. We do not use data for profiling or automated decision-making beyond basic analytics aggregate reports.

Specific uses include delivering pages, diagnosing technical issues, preventing abuse and fraud against the site, processing and replying to reader inquiries, evaluating which pages are popular, and administering affiliate links so referral tracking functions correctly.

Cookies and Tracking

The site uses essential cookies required for basic functionality. We do not place analytics or marketing cookies on readers for the purpose of cross-site tracking. Any tracking cookies related to affiliate links are set by the destination operator after you click and are governed by that operator's privacy policy.

If you see a cookie prompt, it will reflect only these minimal needs; no behavioural advertising or third-party profiling is performed by this site.

Storage and Retention

Data is retained only for the time necessary to satisfy the purpose for which it was collected or to meet legal obligations. Typical retention includes short-term server logs and diagnostics retained to investigate incidents and maintain stability, and contact correspondence retained until the inquiry is resolved and for a reasonable period afterwards.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Because absolute security cannot be guaranteed online, sensitive financial or identity documents should not be sent to this site.
