Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

iCanBet ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we share it, and the choices available to you when you use icanbet.ca or related discovery pages.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Contact information you submit through forms or support requests
• Account or authentication data when you use Stack Auth
• Usage data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed
• Approximate province or region for jurisdiction-aware content delivery
• Cookie and consent preferences
• Interaction data for affiliate and content performance measurement

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate, secure, and improve the site
• Deliver province-aware editorial and comparison content
• Respond to support requests and user inquiries
• Measure page performance, engagement, and conversion paths
• Maintain compliance records and respond to lawful requests
• Detect abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access attempts

4. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required, we rely on consent, legitimate interests, contractual necessity, or legal obligations to process personal data. You may withdraw consent for non-essential tracking at any time through your browser settings or applicable consent controls.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information. We may share data with:

• Hosting, analytics, authentication, and content infrastructure providers
• WordPress and related publishing services used to serve editorial content
• Affiliate and attribution partners where a user clicks an outbound sponsored link
• Authorities, regulators, or law enforcement when disclosure is required by law

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use essential, preference, analytics, and attribution technologies. See our Cookie Policy for a more detailed explanation of what is used and how you can manage it.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required for compliance, dispute resolution, or security. Analytics data is retained on a limited schedule and reviewed periodically.

8. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No online system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

9. International Processing

Some service providers may process data in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions. Where needed, we use contractual and operational safeguards intended to protect information during those transfers.

10. Your Rights

You may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you
• Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data
• Withdraw consent for non-essential processing
• Request deletion where legally permitted
• Raise a privacy concern with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@icanbet.ca.

11. Children's Privacy

Our content is intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the review date on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
