Privacy policy and data protection

Privacy overview

This privacy statement explains how this editorial website, operated under the HollyWin Casino publishing label, collects and uses personal and technical data from visitors in Canada. The site is an informational guide about online casinos and does not operate games, process player accounts, or manage financial transactions for external operators. Where the site links to third-party casinos, those sites are independently operated and maintain their own privacy practices.

We aim to be transparent and to follow applicable Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and relevant provincial privacy rules. If you have questions about how we handle personal information, contact [email protected].

Data we collect

We collect only the data needed to provide, improve, and secure this editorial service. We gather two broad categories of information: technical data collected automatically and contact or user-provided data you choose to share.

Technical data is collected when you visit the site to enable basic operation, troubleshoot problems, and protect the site from abuse.

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referrer URL, pages visited, and timestamps.
  • Contact data: email address and any message content you submit through the site’s contact form or when subscribing to updates.
  • Voluntary content: comments, feedback, or ratings you submit on article pages if those features are enabled.

How we use data

We use collected data for a narrow set of editorial and operational purposes: to operate the site, respond to inquiries, fix technical problems, protect against fraud and abuse, and improve content and user experience. Technical data supports security measures and basic site functionality; contact data is used to reply to messages and manage subscriptions.

We do not use personal data for profiling, behavioural advertising, or to place you on marketing lists. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use analytics or marketing cookies for tracking visitors across the web. Minimal cookies required for essential site functions may be used to maintain session state or remember basic display preferences. No third-party advertising or cross-site tracking is performed by this site.

If you follow links to external casino operators, those sites may use cookies and trackers governed by their own policies.

Storage and retention

We retain technical logs and site records for operational, security, and troubleshooting purposes. Server logs that include IP addresses and request data are generally retained for up to 12 months unless required for a longer period to investigate abuse or comply with legal obligations.

Contact messages, subscriber lists, and voluntary content are retained as long as necessary to respond or until you request deletion. Where retention periods are influenced by legal or regulatory requirements, we will retain the relevant data as required.
