Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how New Online Casino, available at getdominion.ca, collects, uses, protects and shares information when you visit our pages, read our reviews of new online casinos in Canada, contact us or subscribe to updates. We aim to handle personal information in line with applicable Canadian privacy legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and any provincial privacy laws that may apply.

New Online Casino is an independent information and comparison resource. We are not a casino operator. We do not open player accounts, accept deposits, process withdrawals or payments, or ask for identity documents. When you sign up with a casino listed on our site, the information you give that casino is governed by the casino's own privacy policy, not this one.

This policy applies to everyone who visits getdominion.ca. Our content is intended only for adults of legal gambling age in their province: 19+ in most of Canada, and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. By continuing to use the site, you acknowledge that you have read this policy and accept the practices it describes. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect a limited amount of information, which falls into two groups.

Information you choose to give us. This includes your name and email address when you send a message through our contact form, the content of that message, and your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter. You decide whether to share this information; you can read our reviews without providing any of it.

Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, certain technical details are recorded by our servers, cookies and similar tools. These may include your IP address, device type, browser and operating system, approximate location (usually at city or province level, derived from your IP address), the pages you view, how long you stay, the page that referred you to us, and whether you click a link to a casino operator's website.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following grounds when handling personal information:

• Consent. We ask for your consent before sending newsletters and before placing non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests. We process limited technical and usage data to keep the site secure, analyse how it is used and improve our reviews and comparisons, provided these interests are not outweighed by your privacy rights.
• Legal obligations. We may process or retain information where Canadian privacy law or other applicable law requires us to do so.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for clearly defined purposes connected to running an editorial comparison site. We do not use it to build gambling profiles or to make automated decisions that affect you. Specifically, we use information to:

• answer questions, corrections and feedback sent through our contact form;
• send our newsletter, only if you have subscribed;
• review site traffic and reader behaviour so we can improve layout, accuracy and usefulness;
• protect the site against spam, bots, unauthorised access and fraud;
• measure referrals to partner operators through affiliate tracking;
• meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

When we report statistics, for example which guides are read most often, we use aggregated and anonymised data that does not identify any individual.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We share personal information only where needed and only with the following categories of recipients:

• Service providers that help us operate the site, such as web hosting, analytics and email delivery providers. They may process information only on our instructions and for the services they provide to us.
• Affiliate networks and partner operators, limited to the referral tracking needed to confirm that a visitor arrived at their site from ours. We do not pass your name, email address or contact messages to casinos.
• Authorities and regulators, where disclosure is required by law, court order or a valid legal request, or where it is needed to protect our rights or the safety of others.

We never sell or rent your personal information to anyone, including casino operators.

5. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may store or process information on servers located outside Canada. When information is transferred outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of the country where it is held, including access by authorities in that country. We transfer data only to providers that offer appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections that require a level of care comparable to what Canadian privacy law expects.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law. For example, contact messages are kept long enough to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, newsletter details are kept while you remain subscribed, and analytics data is kept for as long as it is useful for understanding site performance. Once information is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked to you.

7. Security Measures

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorised access, disclosure, copying or alteration. Because we do not handle payments or identity documents, the amount of sensitive data we hold is small, but we still treat it with care. Our measures include:

• encryption of data in transit across the site using HTTPS;
• access controls that limit personal information to people who need it for their role;
• regular software updates and periodic reviews of our security practices;
• a breach response process for identifying, containing and reporting incidents, including notifying affected individuals and the relevant authority where the law requires it.

No online service can guarantee complete security, but we work to keep risks as low as reasonably possible.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use the following types:

• Essential cookies, which allow the site to load, remember your cookie choices and stay secure. These cannot be switched off through our banner.
• Analytics cookies, which help us see how readers move through the site and which pages need improvement.
• Preference cookies, which remember settings such as display choices.
• Affiliate tracking cookies, which record that you followed a link from our site to a partner operator so the referral can be attributed.

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice later. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to the limits set by Canadian privacy law, you may have the right to:

• access the personal information we hold about you;
• correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• request deletion of information we no longer need;
• object to certain processing, such as analytics based on legitimate interests;
• withdraw consent, for example by unsubscribing from our newsletter through the link in each email;
• request portability of information you provided, in a commonly used format, where applicable.

To make a request, contact us through the contact form on the site. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your information, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, where applicable, to your provincial privacy commissioner.

10. Responsible Gambling and Privacy

We do not track individual gambling activity, bets, deposits or gameplay. That activity takes place on operators' sites, not ours. Tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are managed by the casino you play with, and any information you give for those tools is handled under that casino's privacy policy. Ontario players using operators registered with iGaming Ontario also have access to province-specific protections through those operators. For guidance and support resources, please see our Responsible Gambling page.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

Our reviews and comparison tables link to casino websites, regulator registers and other external resources. Once you leave getdominion.ca, this policy no longer applies. Each external site has its own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for how those sites collect or use your information. Before you register with a casino or submit personal details elsewhere, read that site's privacy policy and terms carefully, paying attention to how it handles identity verification and payment data.

12. Contact Information and Policy Updates

For questions about this policy or to exercise your privacy rights, please reach us through the contact form on getdominion.ca.

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in our practices, our service providers or the law. When we do, we will publish the updated version on this page. The date shown below identifies the version currently in effect, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

This policy is provided for information and does not replace independent legal advice.
