Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are & What This Policy Covers
Welcome to UCCRN (“we,” “us,” “our”) at https://uccrn.org/.
We’re an independent, editorial affiliate website helping readers discover safe and licensed online casinos in Canada and other trusted iGaming platforms. Our reviews and guides promote transparent, responsible play by explaining licensing, security, RTP rates, and mobile access features.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.
2. What We Collect
We keep data collection minimal and only for legitimate business purposes.
Information we may collect includes:
-
Browsing & device data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, referrer URL, device/OS, and approximate location.
-
Cookies & tracking IDs: Used for analytics, advertising, and affiliate link tracking (e.g., UTM parameters, click IDs).
-
Contact details: Only if you email us directly or sign up for any optional updates.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as financial, biometric, or health information).
3. How We Use Information
We use your information to:
-
Operate and improve our website performance
-
Prevent abuse and fraudulent activity
-
Measure traffic and reader engagement
-
Analyze trends and improve content relevance
-
Attribute affiliate commissions (when you click outbound links)
-
Personalize or cap ads for a better experience
We do not sell personal data for money.
4. Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and analyze usage.
We use:
-
Analytics cookies to understand visitor behavior (e.g., Google Analytics).
-
Affiliate cookies to ensure clicks and conversions are attributed to the correct partner.
-
Advertising cookies to measure ad performance and prevent repetitive ads.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context advertising, email [email protected] with “Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported.
5. Advertising, Analytics & Affiliates
We use standard tools like Google Analytics and affiliate networks that help us measure engagement.
When you click a link to an iGaming site, the outbound URL may contain an affiliate ID so we can receive a commission if you register or make a deposit.
This helps keep our reviews and guides free to access.
6. Sharing of Information
We may share limited data with:
-
Service providers: hosting, analytics, security.
-
Advertising or affiliate partners: for performance measurement.
-
Legal authorities: if required to comply with law or prevent fraud.
We never sell personal information. Some partners may use cookies for advertising metrics — this counts as “sharing” under privacy laws, which you can opt out of.
7. Your Privacy Rights
If you’re in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah, you have rights to:
-
Know and access the information we hold about you.
-
Request deletion or correction of your personal data.
-
Opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising.
-
Appeal a denied request by emailing [email protected] with “Appeal” in the subject line.
Verification may be required to protect your data.
8. Data Retention & Security
We keep analytics data for about 24 months and server logs up to 12 months.
We use HTTPS encryption, limited access controls, and regular software updates.
While no system is 100% secure, we take privacy seriously and continuously improve our protections.
9. Children’s Privacy
UCCRN is for adults 21+ interested in legal online gaming.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has provided information, please contact us for deletion.
