Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
High 5 Casino is an editorial website that provides reviews, guides, and news about online casinos for Canadian readers. This privacy notice explains what technical and contact data we collect on the site, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights available to readers under Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy rules.
This policy covers only data collected by high-5-casino-ca.com. It does not cover operators or third parties you visit after clicking links on this site. For questions or to exercise rights, contact [email protected].
Data we collect
We limit collection to the data needed to operate the editorial site, respond to inquiries, and maintain security. Collection happens when you visit pages, submit a message, or click links. We do not collect sensitive financial information or process payments on this site.
Common categories of data we process include technical and contact information.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, pages viewed, timestamps, referrer URL, and server logs used for troubleshooting and security.
- Contact data: name and email address you provide when sending a message or subscribing to an optional newsletter.
- Referral data: which editorial page or affiliate link you clicked, and the destination URL for reporting and link maintenance.
Why we use data
We use collected data for a limited set of editorial and operational purposes: to deliver site content, respond to reader inquiries, maintain site security and performance, process and report affiliate clicks, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use collected contact data to profile you for marketing unless you explicitly opt in to a newsletter.
Processing is based on your consent where required, and on our legitimate interest in running a safe, functional editorial website, subject to applicable privacy law.
Storage and retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here and to meet legal or regulatory obligations. Server logs and technical records are generally retained for up to 12 months to support security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. Contact correspondence and subscription records are retained while needed to respond and for up to three years for business records unless you request deletion sooner.
When data is no longer necessary we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymize it. Retention periods may be shortened where you request deletion or extended only if required by law.
Security measures
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. These measures include access controls, secure hosting practices, and routine software updates. No security system is perfect; if we discover a breach that creates a real risk of significant harm we will notify affected individuals and regulators as required by law.
Third parties that process data on our behalf are required to maintain appropriate safeguards and may only process data for the purposes we specify.
