Privacy policy and data protection
Overview
This privacy statement explains how Hellspin Casino (the editorial website at https://hellspin-casino-ca.com) collects and uses personal and technical information from visitors. The page covers the types of data handled on this site, why the data is processed, how long it is kept, and the rights readers have under Canadian privacy law.
We are an editorial guide and not an operator of any gambling service. This policy covers only data processed by this website; whenever you follow a link to an external casino or partner, that destination’s privacy policy will apply to any further data collection.
Data collected
The site processes only the types of information needed to operate an editorial website and to respond to readers. Data collected falls into two main groups: technical data gathered automatically and contact or content data provided directly by users.
Automatically collected technical data is limited to items required for site operation and security. When you visit pages we may record IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referrer URL, timestamps, and server log entries. This helps with troubleshooting, defending against abuse, and maintaining site performance.
Contact and content data are data you provide when interacting with the site. Examples include email addresses and message text submitted through the site contact form or when you subscribe to a newsletter, and any comments submitted on editorial content.
- IP address and server logs
- Device, browser, and referrer information
- Timestamps and page visit records
- Email address and message content when you contact the site or subscribe
- Comments posted on the site
Purposes of use
We use the data only for editorial site purposes and reader communication. These purposes include responding to reader inquiries, sending optional newsletter communications you expressly sign up for, maintaining site security, preventing fraud or abuse, and improving usability of our pages.
Technical data is also used for server administration, diagnosing technical issues, and protecting the site against attacks. Contact data is used to reply to requests and to process subscription preferences when you opt in. We do not use site data to operate gambling accounts or to access information held by external casino operators.
Storage and retention
Data is kept only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected or as required by law. Server logs and technical records are typically retained for up to 12 months to allow review of incidents and performance trends. Copies of reader emails and contact form messages are retained for administrative purposes and for up to 3 years unless you ask for deletion earlier.
If you subscribe to a newsletter, your email address will be stored until you unsubscribe. When data is no longer required it is deleted or rendered anonymous where feasible. We take a conservative approach to retention consistent with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy rules.
