Privacy Policy

IJIC (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an editorial website focused on helping Canadians discover and safely use online casinos. We publish guides and comparisons that emphasize reputable licensing, secure payment options, fair terms, and payout reliability.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit IJIC (https://www.ijic.info/), how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy applies to our website and related communications (like emails you send to us).

What we collect

Information you provide

• Contact messages: If you email us or use a contact form, we collect what you send (such as your name, email address, and message contents).
  We do not require you to provide sensitive personal information to use the Site.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect limited technical information to run the Site and understand how it’s used, such as:

• IP address (often used to infer approximate location)

• Device type, browser type, operating system

• Pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages

• General click activity (including clicks on outbound links)

• Cookie identifiers or similar online identifiers

Cookies and tracking data

We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for:

• Analytics (understanding traffic and improving content)

• Advertising (showing or limiting ads, measuring performance)

• Affiliate attribution (tracking that a click from our Site led to a sign-up or purchase so we can earn a commission)

We do not knowingly collect categories like government IDs, financial account details, or precise geolocation.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate and maintain the Site

• Respond to messages and provide support

• Improve content quality and user experience

• Measure content performance and site traffic

• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents

• Attribute affiliate commissions when users click partner links and take an action on a third-party site

• Comply with legal obligations (when required)

Cookies and how to control them

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and measure usage. We may also use pixels or tracking parameters (like UTMs or click IDs) to understand what content is helpful and to support affiliate attribution.

You can control cookies in a few ways:

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies

• Use private browsing modes (which limit some storage)

• Review your device or browser “Do Not Track” settings (note: not all services respond consistently)

Because affiliate tracking may rely on cookies or link parameters, disabling cookies can affect how some links function or how conversions are measured.

Advertising, analytics, and affiliate links

IJIC is supported through a combination of ads and affiliate relationships.

• Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand how people use the Site and to improve content.

• Advertising: We may work with advertising partners who use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and, in some cases, show more relevant ads.

• Affiliate links: Some outbound links include tracking parameters so our partners can recognize traffic from IJIC. If you click a link and sign up or deposit on a casino site, we may earn a commission. This does not typically increase the price you pay.

We avoid naming specific vendors here because our tools can change over time, but the categories above reflect how the Site operates.

Sharing of information

We share information only when necessary, including with:

• Service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, security/anti-abuse, email services)

• Advertising and affiliate partners for measurement and attribution

• Legal or compliance requests when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security

We do not sell your personal information for money. We also do not rent or trade your email address. If we share limited data for advertising measurement, we do so to operate the Site and measure performance — not to create a public profile of you.

Canada-focused privacy rights and choices

If you are in Canada, privacy obligations are generally governed by federal and provincial laws (such as PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation). Depending on your situation, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you

• Request corrections to inaccurate information

• Withdraw consent (where consent is the basis for processing)

• Ask questions about our data handling practices

To make a request, contact us at [email protected] with a clear description of what you’re requesting. For security, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above:

• Analytics data is typically retained for up to 24 months

• Basic server/security logs are typically retained for up to 12 months

• Contact messages are retained as needed to respond and maintain records, then removed when no longer necessary

We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine software updates. No system can guarantee perfect security, but we work to protect your information and reduce risk.

Age restrictions

Our content is intended for adults only. You must be of the legal gambling age in your province or territory (18+ or 19+) to use online casinos. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

Third-party links

Our Site links to third-party websites (including online casino operators). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Always review the privacy policy of any site where you create an account, upload documents for verification (KYC), or make deposits.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date above.
