Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how starburst-canada.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information from visitors to this site. We operate as an informational affiliate website. We do not run a casino, process payments, or hold player accounts.
We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws. If you have questions about how we handle your data, contact us at [email protected].
Who We Are
starburst-canada.com is an independent affiliate site that publishes game guides and reviews. When you click a link to a licensed operator like LeoVegas, Betway, Casumo, or PlayOJO, you leave our site and enter theirs. Their own privacy policies govern what happens to your data once you're on their platforms. We strongly encourage you to read those policies before registering an account.
What Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it. This may happen if you contact us by email or fill out a contact form. In those cases, we may collect your name and email address.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our site, our hosting provider and analytics tools automatically collect certain technical data, including:
- Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URL (the page that linked you here)
- Date and time of your visit
This data is collected in aggregate and is used to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our content. It is not used to identify you personally.
Affiliate Tracking Data
When you click an affiliate link on our site, a tracking cookie or parameter may be placed to record that the referral came from us. This allows the operator to credit us with the referral. We do not receive your personal details from the operator as a result of this process. The data collected is limited to click and conversion tracking.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and messages
- Analyse site traffic and improve content quality
- Track affiliate referrals for commission purposes
- Comply with legal obligations under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian law
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under PIPEDA, we collect, use, and disclose personal information only with your knowledge and consent, or as permitted or required by law. By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, though this may affect our ability to respond to your enquiries.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with:
- Our hosting and analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements
- Affiliate network platforms that track referral clicks
- Law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required by Canadian law
We do not share your data with any other third parties without your explicit consent.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months. Anonymized analytics data may be retained longer for trend analysis. You can request deletion of your personal information at any time.
Your Rights Under PIPEDA
You have the right to:
- Know what personal information we hold about you
- Access that information and request a copy
- Correct inaccurate information
- Withdraw consent to our use of your information
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements
- File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your rights have been violated
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. Our site uses HTTPS encryption. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This site is intended for adults aged 19 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 19. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Links to Third-Party Sites
Our site contains links to licensed gambling operators and other third-party websites. Once you leave starburst-canada.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
