Privacy policy and data protection

Overview

This privacy statement explains how Stardust Casino's editorial site collects and uses personal and technical information from readers in Canada. The page covers the categories of information we process, the purposes for which we use that data, how long we retain it, and the rights available to visitors under Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA and relevant provincial privacy rules. This policy applies only to content and functions on stardustcasino-ca.com and does not govern external casino operators.

We aim to be transparent about the limited data we handle as an editorial publisher. If you have questions or wish to exercise a right described here, contact [email protected].

Data collected

We collect only the information necessary to operate an editorial site and respond to reader inquiries. Most visitors can browse without providing personal details. Types of data we may process include technical connection and usage information and any contact information you voluntarily provide when you email us.

We do not collect financial information, and we do not have access to personal data held by external casino operators you visit through links from our pages.

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device and operating system, date and time of access, and pages viewed
• Usage data: on-site navigation, which pages or articles are read, and errors encountered
• Contact data: name and email if you write to us at [email protected] or otherwise submit information directly

How we use data

We use technical and usage data to operate and improve the site, to diagnose problems, and to protect the site from abuse. Contact data you provide is used only to respond to your message or request. We do not use reader information for profiling, targeted marketing, or sharing with third parties for advertising purposes.

When data is aggregated in a non-identifiable form, we may use it to understand readership trends and improve editorial content. Aggregated data cannot be used to identify an individual and is treated separately from personal data.

• Maintain and secure the website
• Respond to reader enquiries and requests
• Improve editorial content and site functionality using anonymized metrics

Cookies and tracking

We do not use analytics or marketing cookies. The site uses only minimal technical mechanisms needed for basic functionality. We do not track readers for advertising or third-party profiling purposes.

If you have concerns about browser privacy settings, you can configure your browser to block cookies or clear browsing data. Blocking cookies may affect the behaviour of some site features.

Storage and retention

Personal information provided directly to us is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes. Technical logs and usage records are kept for operational and security purposes and are periodically purged or aggregated to remove personal identifiers.

We store data on secure systems and take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Where third-party service providers assist us with hosting or support, we require them to meet appropriate security standards.
