Privacy Policy

Last updated: {Y}

This Privacy Policy describes how the Axe Casino review website ("we", "our", "the Site") collects, uses, stores and shares the personal information of visitors based in Canada. The Site is an informational and affiliate platform — we do not operate gambling services, hold player funds or process gambling transactions.

1. Information We Collect

We collect a limited set of information when you visit the Site:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type and timestamp of visit.
• Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on pages and referrer URL.
• Cookies and similar technologies: session identifiers, analytics tags and affiliate tracking IDs.

We do not knowingly collect any direct personal identifiers such as name, email or phone number unless you voluntarily contact us.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To deliver, maintain and improve the Site and its content.
• To analyse traffic and usage patterns through privacy-respecting analytics tools.
• To attribute affiliate referrals to operators so we can be credited for sign-ups originating from the Site.
• To detect, prevent and respond to fraudulent activity, abuse, or security incidents.

3. Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies remember user preferences and aggregate analytics. Third-party cookies, set by analytics and affiliate networks, track referral attribution. You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings, but blocking essential cookies may impair Site functionality.

4. Sharing With Third Parties

We share limited information with the following categories of recipients:

• Hosting and analytics providers: for the technical delivery and measurement of the Site.
• Affiliate networks and operators: for referral attribution when you click outbound links to gambling platforms.
• Authorities: when required by law, court order or regulatory request.

We do not sell personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Data Retention

Technical and usage data is retained for up to 26 months in aggregated form for analytics purposes. Affiliate referral data is retained for the duration permitted by the relevant operator agreement, typically 30 to 90 days.

6. Your Rights Under PIPEDA and Provincial Laws

Canadian visitors have the following rights under PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation (including Quebec's Law 25, Alberta's PIPA and BC's PIPA):

• Access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Withdrawal of consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
• The right to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial regulator.

For any privacy request, contact us through the address shown at the bottom of this page. We respond within 30 days.

7. International Transfers

Some of our service providers operate servers outside of Canada. By using the Site, you consent to the cross-border transfer of your data, subject to appropriate safeguards under applicable law.

8. Security

We use TLS encryption, access controls and standard administrative safeguards to protect the limited data we hold. No system is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorised access.

9. Children

The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
