This policy explains what personal information verifer.com collects from visitors to the Alberta section, why it is collected, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and what a visitor can ask us to do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It applies to the Alberta section of verifer.com: its pages, guides and tools, and any message sent to the contact address below. It does not cover the casinos the site writes about. When a visitor follows a link to an operator, that operator collects information under its own privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The page describes the practices of verifer.com. It is general information, not legal advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
verifer.com is an information website for players in Alberta. It publishes pages on casinos registered in the province, payment and withdrawal guides, slots pages, guides to Alberta rules and support, and a set of tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The site is not a gambling operator. It does not accept bets, does not hold player accounts, does not take deposits or process withdrawals, and is not part of Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) or the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No player accounts, deposit or withdrawal records, payment card details or identity documents are held by verifer.com. A passport, a bank statement or a casino account number is not needed for any request, and none should be sent by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal information is handled in line with Canadian privacy law, including Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act<\/em> (PIPA) where it applies to activity in Alberta, and the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act<\/em> (PIPEDA) where it applies. Both laws rest on consent, reasonable purposes and access to one’s own information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where consent is required, it is asked for: for non-essential cookies through the cookie banner, and for any use of an email address beyond answering the message it came with. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, subject to legal or contractual limits, by writing to us. A withdrawal may mean a request can no longer be answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some technical data is processed so that the site loads and stays secure. That processing is limited to what the service needs in order to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four categories are used: strictly necessary, analytics, affiliate attribution and preferences. Strictly necessary cookies are set when a page loads. The other three are set only after a choice is made in the banner, where Accept all<\/b> and Reject all<\/b> sit side by side and Manage preferences<\/b> opens each category separately, with nothing ticked in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A choice is stored on the device and can be changed at any time from the Cookie settings<\/b> link in the footer of any page. Refusing non-essential cookies does not block the guides, pages or tools. The cookie policy<\/a> sets out the categories, the providers and how to clear cookies in a browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some casino links are affiliate links, and verifer.com may receive a commission from the operator when a visitor signs up through one. The commission is paid by the operator, not by the reader. Click attribution uses a click identifier and technical data; the contents of an email to us are never passed to an operator or an affiliate network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The advertising disclosure<\/a> explains the arrangement in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal information collected through this site is not sold, and an email address is not passed to a casino or an affiliate network for their own marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some providers may store or process data outside Canada, including in the United States or the European Union. Where that happens, the provider is bound by a contract setting out how the data may be used, and the information stays subject to the privacy law that applies to verifer.com. More detail about the providers in use is available on request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Server logs are kept for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated. Correspondence is kept for as long as it takes to handle the request, to record a correction, or to meet a legal obligation. Analytics data is kept in aggregate form, which no longer identifies a person. When information is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the law that applies, a person may ask to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Requests go to hello@verifer.com<\/a> with enough detail to find the information, such as the email address used and the date of the message. Identity may need to be confirmed before information is released, so that it is not disclosed to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a response is not satisfactory, a complaint can be made to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta<\/a> or, for matters under federal law, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This site is for adults in Alberta. Gambling in Alberta is for people aged 18 and over, and Bally Bet, Golden Tiger, Vegas Club and Zodiac set 19 as the minimum in their own terms. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18; if a minor has sent information, a message to us will have it deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards protect the information held, including access controls and encrypted connections to the site. No system is completely secure, and email is not an encrypted channel, so identity documents and financial details do not belong in a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pages link to casinos, regulators and support services. Those sites are not covered by this policy: once a visitor follows a link, the privacy policy of the site reached applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. Help is available at any hour and without charge through 211 Alberta<\/a>, through GameSense<\/a>, and through the AGLC self-exclusion programme, which runs for periods from six months to three years. The responsible gambling pages carry no affiliate links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This policy is updated when practices change or when the law requires it. The date at the top of the page shows the current version, and a change that materially affects information already held is described on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Privacy questions and requests go to hello@verifer.com<\/a>. Editorial corrections follow the editorial policy<\/a>, and the way the site is funded is set out in the advertising disclosure<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This policy explains what personal information verifer.com collects from visitors to the Alberta section, why it is collected, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and what a visitor can ask us to do with it.
