Privacy Policy — haybaleman CA

Information We Collect

Hay Baleman CA is an editorial and comparison website. We do not operate any casino or accept registrations, deposits, or payments. The information we collect is limited to what is necessary to operate and improve our editorial service.

We may collect the following types of information:

• Usage data: Pages visited, time on site, referral source, browser type, operating system, and approximate geographic location (country/region level only) via our analytics provider.
• Contact form submissions: If you email us at contact@ca.haybaleman.com, we retain your email address and message content to respond to your query.
• Cookies: We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics) and to remember your preferences. See our Cookie Policy section below.
• Affiliate tracking data: When you click a casino link on our site, our affiliate tracking partners (Linkly) may set cookies to attribute any subsequent registration to our site. We do not receive personally identifiable information from casinos about players who register through our links.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To analyse site usage and improve our editorial content for Canadian casino players
• To respond to enquiries sent to our editorial or business email addresses
• To track aggregate affiliate performance (number of clicks, not individual user data)
• To comply with legal obligations under Canadian law

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not build personal profiles of individual site visitors.

Affiliate Disclosure

Hay Baleman CA operates as a casino affiliate. When you click a link to a recommended casino and register an account, we may receive a commission. This commission is paid by the casino operator — it does not cost you anything extra and does not affect the bonus or terms you receive.

Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes. Our editorial rankings and recommendations are made independently of our commercial team and are not influenced by commission rates. We have excluded casinos with higher commission potential when they failed our player-protection testing standards.

When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected through a tracking URL (linkly.link). This tracking service sets a cookie on your browser to attribute any subsequent registration to our site. The casino you register with will process your personal data according to their own privacy policy — we recommend reviewing it before registering.

Cookies

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 cookies that collect anonymised data about how visitors use the site. IP addresses are anonymised. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: Set by Linkly when you click a casino link. These expire after 30 days and are used only to attribute registrations to our site.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use this site. Disabling affiliate tracking cookies means we will not receive commission if you register at a recommended casino — but this has no effect on the bonus or experience you receive.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data about site visitors:

• Google Analytics 4 — Web analytics. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Fonts — Typography. Font files are loaded from Google's servers. Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• Linkly — Affiliate link tracking. Privacy policy: linkly.link
• Cloudflare — Content delivery and DDoS protection. Privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they process data. We encourage you to review their policies.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for 14 months in Google Analytics before automatic deletion. Email correspondence is retained for up to 2 years to support any follow-up enquiries. Affiliate tracking cookies expire after 30 days.

We do not retain any payment information, casino account details, or sensitive personal data — we are an editorial site and do not process transactions of any kind.
