Privacy policy and data protection
Privacy overview
Fugu Casino is an editorial website that publishes reviews, guides, and news about online casinos for Canadian readers. This privacy page explains what personal and technical data we may collect on fugu-casino-ca.com, why we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights available to readers under Canadian privacy law. We follow the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy rules where they apply.
We are not a casino operator. When you follow links to external casinos or service providers, those sites are independent and governed by their own privacy policies; Fugu Casino does not control or access data collected by those third parties after you leave our site.
Data we collect
We collect a limited set of data needed to run an editorial website, diagnose problems, and respond to reader enquiries. We distinguish between data you provide directly and technical information collected automatically.
Directly provided data includes email addresses and any content you supply when you contact us, sign up for optional updates, or submit corrections or comments. Do not send sensitive personal information (for example, identity documents or financial details) by email.
Automatically collected technical data includes IP address, device and browser type, pages visited on the site, referrer URL, and timestamps. This data is used for site operation, security, and basic usage analysis.
- Email address when you contact support or opt in to updates
- Messages and form submissions you send to the site
- Server logs: IP address, device, browser, pages and timestamps
- Aggregated anonymized site usage summaries
How we use data
We use collected data to operate the editorial site, answer queries, manage subscriptions, detect and prevent abuse, and improve content and site performance. When you contact support, your email and message are used to respond and resolve the matter. If you opt in to receive updates, we will use your email for that purpose until you unsubscribe.
We do not use collected information to influence gambling offers or to profile you for marketing by third-party casinos. Any personal data is processed only for the purposes stated at collection or as required by law.
Cookies and tracking
Fugu Casino uses minimal cookies necessary for basic site function, such as remembering display preferences. We do not use analytics or marketing cookies on the site. If this changes we will post an update to this policy and provide an opt-in where required.
Server logs capture technical information described above; these are not tied to marketing profiles or used by third-party advertising networks.
Storage and retention
We retain contact messages and related correspondence for as long as necessary to respond and to resolve any follow-ups, generally up to two years unless a longer retention period is required by law. Server logs and technical records are retained for up to 12 months for security, troubleshooting, and site optimization. Aggregated or anonymized datasets may be kept indefinitely for editorial analysis.
When retention is no longer necessary, we delete or irreversibly anonymize personal data. If you request deletion (see Your rights below), we will follow the steps described there unless retention is required by legal obligation.
