Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2026
InnovateNortheast.ca ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at innovatenortheast.ca (the "Site").
1. Who We Are
InnovateNortheast.ca is an independent online casino affiliate review site based in Canada. We provide reviews, comparisons, and information about online casinos for Canadian players aged 18 and older. We do not operate any casinos, accept wagers, or process gambling transactions.
When you click on affiliate links on our Site and register at a recommended casino, we may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you. This business model supports our ability to provide free, independent reviews.
2. Information We Collect
We do not require user accounts, logins, or registrations on our Site. The information we may collect falls into the following categories:
Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us via our contact page or email (contact@innovatenortheast.ca), we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We only collect this information when you choose to provide it.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and device information. This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies and is used in aggregate to improve our Site.
Affiliate Tracking Data
When you click on an affiliate link on our Site, tracking codes embedded in the link allow our casino partners to attribute your visit to our referral. This tracking is handled by the casino operator's systems, not ours. We receive anonymized, aggregated reports on referral activity but do not receive your personal details from casino operators.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
- To analyse site traffic and user behaviour in aggregate (e.g., which pages are most visited)
- To respond to your inquiries or messages sent via our contact page
- To monitor and prevent technical issues, errors, or security threats
- To comply with applicable legal obligations

Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information about pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

Managing Cookies: You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect your experience on our Site. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions specific to your browser.
5. Third-Party Services
Our Site uses the following third-party services that may collect or process data:
- Google Fonts (Inter): We load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. When you visit our Site, your browser connects to Google's servers to retrieve font files. Google may collect your IP address and browser information as part of this request. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
- Analytics Services: We may use analytics tools to measure site performance and user engagement. These services collect anonymized browsing data through cookies or similar technologies.

- Affiliate Casino Partners: When you click an affiliate link and visit a casino operator's website, that operator's privacy policy governs how they handle your data. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
6. Affiliate Disclosure
InnovateNortheast.ca participates in affiliate marketing programs with online casino operators. This means we may earn a commission when you click on an affiliate link on our Site and subsequently register or make a deposit at a partner casino. These commissions are paid by the casino operator, not by you.
Affiliate links on our Site contain tracking codes that identify us as the referring source. These tracking codes do not collect your personal information. The casino operator handles all tracking and attribution on their end using their own cookies and systems.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics), subject to confidentiality obligations.
