Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how melaniekrueger.com ("we", "us", or "our"), an affiliate website covering 10 minimum deposit casinos, collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website. We comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and take reasonable steps to align with other applicable privacy laws.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following types of information:

• Contact details: your name and email address, if you voluntarily provide them (e.g., via a contact form or newsletter signup).
• Technical data: your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and referring URLs.
• Cookies and tracking data: information collected through cookies and similar technologies, including affiliate tracking identifiers.
• Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, clicks, and other interactions with our website.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and content.
• Perform website analytics to understand how visitors use our site.
• Track affiliate referrals to online casinos and partners, so that we receive correct attribution and commission.
• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you where you have contacted us.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We only share data with service providers (e.g., analytics) who are bound by contractual obligations to protect it.

3. Cookie Policy

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: required for the basic functioning of the website.
• Analytics cookies: help us understand visitor behaviour (e.g., page views and traffic sources).
• Affiliate/tracking cookies: record that you arrived at a casino website via our link so we can be credited. These may be set by third-party affiliate networks.
• Preference cookies: remember your settings and choices.

Opt-out options: You can disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that some features of the site may not function properly without cookies. Where required, we will present a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

4. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party online casinos and affiliate partners. When you click these links and leave our site, your interaction with those websites is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.

We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party casino, operator, or affiliate network. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of each website you visit before providing any personal information. Please gamble responsibly and only where it is legal to do so (19+ in most Canadian jurisdictions; 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec).

5. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific privacy rights:

• Canada (PIPEDA): You have the right to access your personal information, request corrections, withdraw consent to its use, and file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
• European Union / United Kingdom (GDPR/UK GDPR): Residents of the EU/UK have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection to processing, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
• United States (CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws): If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" (note: we do not sell personal information).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Generally:

• Analytics and usage data: retained for up to 26 months, or as configured in our analytics tools.
• Contact information: retained while we maintain communication with you, and deleted upon request or when no longer needed.
• Cookie data: retained according to each cookie's lifespan, typically from the end of your session up to 24 months.

When information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it.
