Privacy Policy

At goodcasino.ca we value your privacy as much as you do and we have created this Privacy Policy that ensures your peace of mind. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”), together with the General Terms and Conditions of the Site, sets out the basis on which we will process any personal data we collect from you or provide.

Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your data and how we will treat it. By visiting our Site you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

You may contact the data controller with any questions about how we use your personal data at https://www.goodcasino.ca/contact.

1. What data do we collect about you?

Personal data or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped as follows:

• “Identity Data” includes first name, last name, or similar identifier.
• “Contact Data” includes email addresses and telephone numbers.
• “Profile Data” includes your username and password (encrypted), login and logout times.
• “Marketing and Communications Data” includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties, your communication preferences and any correspondence we had with you. This category also includes content you submit, such as posts, comments, personal preferences, opinions, complaints, and chats.
• “Technical Data” includes the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, your Internet service provider (ISP), your device, your location, your operating system and platform, header of your requests and other online identifiers.
• “Usage Data” includes information about how you use our Website, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) and page interaction information.

We also collect, use and share “Aggregated Data” such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used by this privacy policy.

We do not collect any information about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, or genetic and biometric data.

We do not trade, share, transfer or disclose any of your personal information, except as is otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required and by applicable law.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it by the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your data for their purposes and only permit them to process your data for specified purposes and by our instructions.

We may provide your data to its affiliates or related companies for legitimate business purposes.

We do seek to partner with companies who provide services, solutions and promotions we feel will be of value to our customers, and in such instances, we will provide you with any such services, solutions and promotions of such other companies.

We may release your information should we be required to do so by law to comply with any legal processes.

In the event of a merge, reorganization or sale of the Site we may transfer all recorded personal and non-personal information to all relevant third parties. In this case, the Site will inform users before personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We transfer your data to our service providers or partners outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We shall only transfer your data outside the EEA if the respective countries to which such data is to be transferred provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.

Determining whether an adequate level of protection for your data is provided is based on the existence of one of the following:

• The European Commission has determined that the respective third country, territory or a specified sector within that third country ensures an adequate level of protection for data transfers;
• The service provider or partner to whom your data is to be transferred provides appropriate safeguards and data subject rights and adequate legal remedies for data subjects are available.

We also reserve the right to provide statistics about your use of the Site, sales, traffic, and other statistical information relating to the Site to third parties, without, however, identifying your identity.

We do not provide any warranty against the use of your information by third-party sites linked to, and from, the Site.

You can register a free account with the Site. Please note it is not obligatory to do so to continue using the Site and participating in the promotions on offer unless stated otherwise.

Account registration is not available to children and visitors under the age of 18 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). By this Privacy Policy, the Site does not knowingly record, store or disclose any personal information related to children and visitors under the age of 18 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction).

Once you have registered an account you can at any time request for the account to be de-activated, or deleted. Please note we will retain the registered information in our secure archive for statistical and analysis purposes, as explained better in Clause 7. below.

Protection of Children

The Site is an online gambling information portal and as such none of its marketing content, products, services or promotions are appropriate for, or targeted at, children and visitors under the age of 18 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). The Site does not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children below the age of 18. If the Site discovers that it has accidentally collected personal data from a child below 18, it will remove that child’s data from its records as soon as reasonably possible. The Site bears no responsibility for the actions taken by children or visitors under the age of 18 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction) based on the content found on the Site, or any of its sub-domains and pages, nor our outbound marketing campaigns (including but not limited to our email newsletter).

6. What are your rights?

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws about your data:

You have the right to:

• Request access to your data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
• Request the erasure of your data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons where we need to abide by applicable laws or where otherwise there is a legitimate interest for us not to comply with such request. Otherwise, you may ask users to delete all your data at any point in time, at which point we will use our best endeavours to adhere to your request. Please note that if you wish for us to delete your data related to a job application, we will not be able to consider you for future job roles which may become available and which may fit your application unless you re-apply and submit the information again.
• Object to processing of your data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, however, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your data in the following scenarios:

a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy
b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it
c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

• Request the transfer of your data to you or a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We will retain copies of any communications that you send to us (including copies of any emails, or chat communications) to maintain accurate records of the information that we have received from you. You can also exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at https://www.goodcasino.ca/contact. 

7. How long do we keep your data?

You can ask us to delete your data by closing your User Account. In that case, we will immediately delete all information aside from that which we may from time to time be required to retain by law.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

8. Is your data secured?

The Site has implemented the necessary digital and infrastructure security measures at the physical IT and data storage facilities to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your information.

Your personal information will only be exposed to staff members of the Site who require access to certain data to perform the functions associated with their position in the company.

Your personal information is password-protected in a secure digital encryption environment.

We abide by all regulations for the protection of personal information.

9. Do we change our privacy policy?

Any changes we make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy. If you do not agree with any changes, we recommend that you contact customer support or otherwise close your account.

10. Are we responsible for third-party sites?

As soon as you leave the Site or are otherwise redirected to another site (“Third Party Site”) by, for instance, clicking on an advertisement or a banner of third party brands advertised on the Site, the terms and conditions, the privacy policies and data processing practices (and which we have no control over) of the Third Party Site shall apply, and the terms and conditions of the Site and this Privacy Policy shall no longer apply to you and to any use you make on any such Third Party Site.

11. Supervisory Authority

You have a right to complain to the responsible local supervisory authority about our processing of your data.

We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.
