RapidTVNews (the “Site”) is an editorial and affiliate publisher that helps Canadians compare online casinos by focusing on practical factors like Interac support, CAD payments, withdrawal timelines, mobile browser usability, licensing information, security basics, and responsible gambling tools. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit https://www.rapidtvnews.com/.
What we collect
Information you choose to provide
If you contact us, we may collect the details you submit (such as your name, email address, and message). We only collect what you send us.
Browsing and device information
When you browse the Site, we may automatically collect basic technical data such as:
-
IP address (often used to estimate approximate location)
-
Device and browser type, operating system, language settings
-
Pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages
-
General performance and security logs (to prevent abuse)
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to:
-
Measure traffic and understand which pages are useful
-
Support advertising (if shown) and limit repetitive ads
-
Track outbound link clicks and affiliate attribution (for example, link-out events, click IDs, and tracking parameters like UTMs)
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, financial account details, or precise location) through normal browsing.
How we use information
We use information to:
-
Operate and maintain the Site
-
Monitor security, prevent spam/fraud, and troubleshoot issues
-
Understand what content helps users most and improve our guides
-
Measure performance of pages and content updates
-
Attribute affiliate commissions when a user clicks a partner link and later signs up or deposits (this helps fund the Site)
Cookies and tracking choices
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. You can also use private/incognito browsing modes to reduce stored data on your device.
If you want to limit interest-based advertising, you may be able to do so through your browser or device controls. Keep in mind that blocking cookies can affect how some pages function and may reduce the relevance of content or ads.
Advertising, analytics, and affiliate links
Analytics
We use analytics tools to understand traffic and improve content (for example, which pages are most helpful and how users move through the Site). These tools generally collect device and browsing data, not information like your name, unless you choose to provide it.
Advertising
We may display ads. Ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure performance and show ads, including ads based on general browsing behavior.
Affiliate disclosure
Some outbound links are affiliate links. That means we may earn a commission if you click a link and later take an action on a partner site (such as registering or making a deposit). This does not typically change the price you pay, and our goal is to keep editorial decisions independent and user-first.
Sharing of information
We may share limited information with:
-
Service providers who help run the Site (hosting, analytics, security/anti-abuse)
-
Advertising or affiliate partners for measurement and attribution
-
Authorities or advisors when required by law, or to protect the Site from fraud or abuse
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share contact messages publicly.
Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above:
-
Analytics data is typically retained for a limited period (often up to 24 months, depending on settings)
-
Server/security logs are typically retained for a shorter operational period (often up to 12 months)
-
Contact messages may be kept as needed to respond and maintain records of support conversations
We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and regular software updates. No website can guarantee perfect security, but we work to protect your information.
Your rights and choices in Canada
Depending on your situation and applicable Canadian privacy laws (including PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation), you may have the right to:
-
Request access to personal information we hold about you
-
Request corrections to inaccurate information
-
Withdraw consent for certain uses (where consent applies)
To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request”. We may ask for basic verification to confirm it’s really you (for example, replying from the same email address you used to contact us).
If you’re not satisfied with our response, you may be able to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their province or territory. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us personal information, contact [email protected] and we’ll take appropriate steps.
Third-party links
Our Site links to third-party websites (including online casinos and payment providers). We do not control their privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal or financial information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the “Last updated” date at the top when we do.
