How Information Is Used
Collected information helps the site respond to visitor inquiries and support requests. The data enhances content quality by identifying which casino reviews and payment guides are most beneficial to Canadian players. Traffic analysis reveals which topics need more coverage and which tools visitors find valuable. Affiliate referral tracking allows commission attribution when visitors register at Inclave online casinos through site links. Security monitoring detects unusual patterns and prevents fraudulent activity. All data processing is conducted in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws.
The site does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
Information Sharing
Information sharing is limited to essential service providers. Google Analytics receives anonymized traffic data to help understand site usage patterns. The site has enabled IP anonymization and disabled data sharing with other Google services. Affiliate partners receive only referral source information when visitors click casino links, never personal data like email addresses or browsing histories. Hosting providers access technical data necessary for site operation, bound by contractual obligations to protect information.
The site never shares email addresses with casino operators, never distributes contact lists to marketing companies, and never sells personal communications to third parties. Individual browsing histories remain confidential. Information may be disclosed when legally required by valid court orders, government agencies with proper authorization, tax authorities for compliance purposes, or law enforcement with legitimate warrants. Visitors are notified when possible unless legally prohibited.
Data Security
The site protects visitor information through SSL encryption for all data transmission between browsers and servers. Secure servers with firewall protection house all databases and files. Access to personal data is restricted to necessary personnel only. Regular security audits and software updates maintain protection standards. All backups are encrypted and stored securely. While the site maintains industry-standard protections, no internet transmission is completely secure. The platform cannot guarantee absolute security but implements all reasonable safeguards.

Data Retention

Analytics data is anonymized and stored indefinitely for historical comparison and site improvement. Session cookies delete automatically when browsers close.

Third-Party Services
Google Analytics tracks site usage with anonymized IP addresses to help understand traffic patterns and popular content. The service operates under Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Affiliate networks place cookies when visitors click casino links to track referrals for commission purposes. These networks receive only the referral source and timestamp, never personal information. Hosting providers store site data and process emails on secure servers with contractual data protection requirements and limited access protocols.
