Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how mines-ca.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website. We operate as an informational affiliate site. We do not operate any gambling games, hold player accounts, or process financial transactions.

We are committed to complying with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation in Canada.

Who We Are

mines-ca.com is an independent informational website that publishes guides, reviews, and educational content about online casino games, including Mines by Spribe. We earn referral commissions when visitors click our affiliate links and register with third-party gambling operators. We are not a licensed gambling operator and are not regulated by iGaming Ontario or the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) as an operator.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you browse our site.

Information You Provide

Your name and email address if you contact us through our contact form or subscribe to any newsletter
Any other information you choose to include in a message to us

Information Collected Automatically

IP address and approximate geographic location (country or city level)
Browser type and version
Device type and operating system
Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
Clicks on affiliate links (we track which links are clicked, not what you do after leaving our site)
Cookie identifiers (see our Cookie Policy for full details)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to run and improve this website. Specifically, we use it to:

Understand how visitors use our site so we can improve content and navigation
Respond to questions or messages you send us
Track affiliate link performance so we can report to our affiliate partners
Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive traffic
Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information to make automated decisions that affect you legally or in any similarly significant way.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under PIPEDA, we rely on your implied or express consent for collecting and using personal information. By using this website, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. Where we rely on legitimate interests (such as website analytics), we have assessed that those interests do not override your privacy rights.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at the address below. Withdrawing consent may limit your ability to use certain features of the site.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Operators

Our site contains affiliate links to third-party gambling operators, including Stake and Roobet. When you click one of these links, you leave our site. We do not control what those operators do with your information once you are on their platforms. Each operator has its own privacy policy, and you should read it before registering or depositing.

We may receive a commission if you register and play through our affiliate link. This does not affect the price you pay or the terms you receive from the operator.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the following limited circumstances:

With analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) who help us understand site traffic. These providers may set cookies on your device. See our Cookie Policy for details.
With affiliate network platforms that track link clicks and conversions for commission purposes
With law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required by law or valid legal process
With a successor entity if this website is sold or transferred, subject to the same privacy commitments

Data Retention

We keep contact form submissions and email correspondence for up to two years, or longer if needed to resolve a dispute. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider, typically 14 months for Google Analytics. Affiliate tracking data is retained for as long as required by our affiliate agreements, usually 12 to 24 months.

Your Rights Under PIPEDA

You have the right to:

Know what personal information we hold about you
Request access to that information
Request corrections to inaccurate information
Withdraw consent to our use of your information
File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe we have handled your information improperly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

Children

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 submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we use industry-standard practices including HTTPS encryption for all pages.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
