Privacy Policy

Who We Are

CrustysMTL.ca is an independent online casino review site operated by Marc-André Dupont from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. You can learn more about me on my about page.

What Data We Collect

This site collects minimal data:

• Analytics data: We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This includes anonymized page views, referral sources, and general geographic region. No personally identifiable information is collected.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider automatically logs IP addresses, browser types, and timestamps as part of standard web server operations. These logs are retained for security purposes and are not shared with third parties.

Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your preferences).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages are visited most often. These do not track you across other websites.

We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to third-party advertisers.

Affiliate Links & Third-Party Sites

This site contains affiliate links to online casino operators. When you click an affiliate link, you leave CrustysMTL.ca and are directed to the casino's website. These operators have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We receive a commission if you sign up through our links, but this does not affect our casino rankings or editorial content.

Affiliate links contain tracking parameters so the casino operator can attribute your visit to our site. These parameters do not collect personal information from you.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share data with third parties except as required by law or as described in this policy (analytics and server logs).

Your Rights Under PIPEDA

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

• Know what personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Withdraw consent for data collection

Since we collect minimal data, there is typically nothing personal to disclose. If you have questions or requests, contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

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

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Last updated: February 2026.
