HiddenSpot ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit thehiddenspot.ca.
Information We Collect
We may collect basic usage data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on site through standard analytics tools such as Google Analytics. This data is collected in aggregate and anonymised where possible. We do not collect sensitive financial data, payment information, or casino account credentials.
How We Use Your Data
Collected data is used solely to improve website performance, understand audience behaviour, and deliver relevant content about Bitcoin casinos in Canada. Specifically, we use data to:
- Analyse which casino guides and reviews are most useful to Canadian players
- Improve page load times and mobile experience
- Identify and fix technical errors on the site
- Understand traffic sources and referral patterns
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Essential cookies are required for core site functionality. Analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) help us understand how visitors use the site — all data is anonymised. You can control cookie settings through your browser at any time. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.
Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to external casino operators and affiliate platforms. When you click on an affiliate link, you leave our site and the privacy practices of the destination website apply. We are not responsible for the data collection or privacy policies of third-party operators. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any casino you visit before registering.
Affiliate Disclosure
HiddenSpot earns commission when users register at casinos through our affiliate links. This commercial relationship does not affect our editorial independence — all casino rankings and reviews are based on independent testing. Our affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with Canadian advertising standards.
Data Retention
Analytics data is retained for 26 months in line with Google Analytics default settings. We do not retain personal information beyond what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
