Privacy Policy

This is a one-person operation run out of the Fraser Valley, BC. I take your privacy seriously because I value my own. This policy explains what information NaturesPickins.ca collects, how it is used, and your rights under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).

Who Operates This Site

NaturesPickins.ca is operated by Gale Thornton from British Columbia, Canada. If you have questions about this privacy policy, contact me through the information on my About page.

Information I Collect

Information collected automatically

When you visit this site, standard web server logs may record:

• Your IP address
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website
• Device type and operating system

This information is collected automatically by the web server and is used only to understand general traffic patterns and improve the site. I do not use this data to identify individual visitors.

Information you provide voluntarily

If you contact me directly via email, I will have whatever information you include in that message. I do not sell or share contact information with anyone.

Cookies and Tracking

NaturesPickins.ca is a static website. I do not use tracking cookies, analytics platforms like Google Analytics, or advertising pixels. The site does not set first-party cookies for tracking purposes.

When you click an affiliate link to a casino site, that third-party site may set its own cookies to track the referral. Those cookies are governed by the casino's privacy policy, not mine. I recommend reviewing each casino's privacy policy before creating an account.

Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links to online casinos. When you click one of those links and sign up, I may receive a commission from the casino operator. This is how the site sustains itself. Affiliate relationships do not influence my rankings or reviews. The casinos on my Interac casino list and Bitcoin casino guide earned their positions through my testing process, not through commission rates.

Third-Party Services

This site is hosted on shared web hosting infrastructure. The hosting provider may collect server-level data (IP addresses, access logs) as part of standard operations. No third-party analytics, advertising, or social media tracking services are integrated into this site.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider's standard retention policy, typically 30-90 days. I do not maintain separate databases of visitor information.

Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to:

• Know what personal information I hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Withdraw consent for information collection
• File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

In practice, because this site collects minimal personal information and does not maintain user accounts, there is very little data to access or correct. If you have concerns, reach out and I will address them directly.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adults aged 19 and older (the legal gambling age in most Canadian provinces). I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 19. If you believe a minor has accessed this site, please contact me.

Changes to This Policy

If I make changes to this privacy policy, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted on the site. Check back periodically if you want to stay informed.

Contact

Questions about this privacy policy can be directed to me through the contact information on my About page. I read everything and respond when I can.
