Privacy Policy

Who We Are

This policy is written in plain language and applies to everyone who visits this site, in Canada or elsewhere. If anything in it is unclear, the sections below are short and each one covers a single topic.

This website is an independent guide to Stake.com for Canadian readers. It is not Stake, it does not run any casino or sportsbook, and it does not take deposits, bets or registrations. The operator of this website, referred to below as “we” and “this site”, decides how the data described in this policy is used.

The site earns a commission when readers register at Stake.com through its links. That relationship is why the site keeps a record of clicks, as the sections below explain.

What We Collect

This site collects the following data, and nothing else:

• Visit data: when your browser loads a page, the site’s servers receive your IP address, browser and device type, preferred language, the page that referred you, the address of the page you opened and the standard request headers your browser sends.
• Campaign parameters: if a link to this site includes tracking parameters, such as a source tag, they are recorded with the visit.
• Click records: when you press a button that leads to Stake.com, the site records the click. It also creates a one-way hashed identifier from your IP address and browser details, which is used to attribute the visit and cannot be reversed into those details.

This site has no accounts, no sign-up forms and no payment forms. It does not ask for your name, e-mail address, address, identity documents or payment details, and it holds none of them. The data above is therefore the full extent of what the site can link to you: it contains nothing about your play at Stake.com, and for a regular reader the records simply show the pages opened and the buttons pressed.

How We Use It

The data is used to:

• run the site and keep it secure;
• filter out automated and invalid traffic;
• measure which pages help readers, so the guides can be improved;
• attribute visits that reach Stake.com, so the site earns its commission;
• meet legal duties.

The data is not used to build advertising profiles, and this site does not make automated decisions about you.

Referral Links and Stake.com

Every button marked as an offer leaves this site. When you press one, you go to Stake.com, which is a separate business with its own terms, its own privacy policy and its own cookies. This site does not see your Stake account, balance or play, and Stake.com does not send that information back.

The redirect to Stake.com can carry a click identifier so that the referral can be matched to this site. It does not carry your name or contact details, because this site does not hold them. Read Stake.com’s own privacy policy before you register.

Cookies and Similar Tools

This site sets no cookies of its own and stores nothing in your browser’s local storage. It runs no advertising scripts and no analytics scripts. The few scripts on each page only operate the menu, the language switcher and the copy button for codes.

The site’s hosting and network provider can use technical cookies or similar signals to deliver the pages and block abusive traffic. Those signals serve security and delivery, not advertising. You can block cookies in your browser settings, and the site works without them.

Sharing

Your data is shared only as needed to run the site:

• the hosting and content delivery provider that serves the pages and receives request data to do so;
• the visit-tracking system used for click records, which processes the data described above on the site’s behalf;
• Stake.com, which receives your visit when you press a referral button, as any website receives a visitor, plus the click identifier mentioned above;
• authorities, if a lawful request requires it.

This site does not sell personal data. Some providers process data outside Canada, which means the data can be subject to the laws of the country where it is processed. This site expects each provider to protect the data to a standard that meets Canadian privacy law, and it limits what it sends to the categories listed in this policy.

How Long We Keep It

Visit and click data is kept for as long as it is needed for the purposes above and is then deleted or anonymized.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection, and the hosting provider protects the servers that deliver it. The data described above sits in the site’s tracking system, and access to it is limited to the people who run the site. This site holds no passwords, no payment details and no identity documents, so there is nothing of that kind to lose.

Links to Other Websites

Besides the buttons that lead to Stake.com, this site links to public help services on its responsible gambling page. Those organizations run their own websites and their own privacy practices. This site does not control what they collect, and it does not pass them any data when you follow a link from the page.

Your Choices and Rights

Canadian privacy laws give you rights over personal information held about you. These laws include the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial laws such as Quebec’s Law 25. In practice you can:

• ask whether this site holds personal information about you, and ask for a copy;
• ask for corrections;
• withdraw your consent to uses that depend on it;
• ask for your information to be deleted.

The pages of this site carry no request form and no published contact address, so there is no in-site way to file a request. Because this site has no accounts, its records are keyed by technical details such as an IP address and hold no name or e-mail, and they are deleted or anonymized when the need described above ends.

If you have a concern about how this site handles personal information, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or to the privacy authority of your province. In Quebec, that is the Commission d’accès à l’information.

Children

This site is for adults only: 18+, or the age of majority in your province. It does not knowingly collect data from anyone below that age. Because the site holds no accounts or names, a visit by a minor leaves only the technical records described above, which are deleted or anonymized on the usual schedule. Our responsible gambling page covers the help lines and tools for anyone worried about gambling.
