Privacy Policy for kahnawakecasinolicense.ca
This Privacy Policy explains how kahnawakecasinolicense.ca (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information in connection with our website, communications, and related online services (collectively, the “Site”). It is intended for users in Canada. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Privacy Policy and to the essential Terms of Use components described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. The Site is intended for individuals who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence; we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
We are committed to handling personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy laws, including federal private-sector legislation and substantially similar provincial legislation where applicable. For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, as defined by Canadian law. We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or the law; when we do, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated effective date. If material changes are made, we will take reasonable steps to provide prominent notice. If you have questions, please contact us at [email protected].
Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly, such as when you contact us, request information, subscribe to updates, download materials, complete forms, submit feedback, or otherwise interact with the Site. Depending on the interaction, this may include your name, contact details, professional details, and the content of your communications. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it and it is necessary for the stated purpose.
We also collect certain information automatically when you use the Site, including device and browser information, Internet Protocol (IP) address, pages viewed, links clicked, approximate location derived from your IP address, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance functionality, analyze usage, and improve our services. We may also receive information from third-party service providers that support our operations (for example, to host the Site or provide analytics), all of whom are required to handle personal information in accordance with applicable law and contractual safeguards.
- Identifiers and contact details: name, email address, telephone number, province or territory, and communication preferences.
- Professional information: organization name, role or title, and the nature of your inquiry or project.
- Communications and transactional records: messages, notes from calls, support requests, and related correspondence.
- Technical and usage data: IP address (which may be personal information), device identifiers, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and session duration.
- Cookies and similar technologies data: settings, session identifiers, and interaction data used to remember preferences and measure performance.
- Compliance information: records needed to meet legal, regulatory, fraud prevention, or security obligations.
We collect, use, and disclose personal information with your knowledge and consent, except where otherwise permitted or required by law. We may rely on your consent, the need to provide requested services, our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Site, and our legal obligations. We may de-identify or aggregate personal information so that it no longer identifies an individual, in which case it is not considered personal information under this Policy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority.
How We Use, Share, and Retain Your Information
We use personal information to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; respond to inquiries and provide requested information; personalize content; manage subscriptions and send communications; perform analytics; detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security incidents; comply with legal and regulatory obligations; enforce our terms; and support business operations, including recordkeeping and auditing. Where required, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications, and you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in those communications or contacting us at [email protected].
We may share personal information with trusted service providers who assist us in hosting, maintenance, analytics, communications, or security, subject to confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory request; to protect our rights, safety, users, or the public; or in connection with a prospective or completed business transaction (e.g., merger or asset transfer), in which case we will take steps to ensure appropriate protections. We do not sell personal information. Personal information may be processed outside of your province or outside Canada by us or our service providers, in which case it may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and accessible to their authorities under lawful request. We implement contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, or as required or permitted by law, taking into account our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations. When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete it or de-identify it in a secure manner. Please note that residual copies may remain in backups for a limited period. You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records.
Cookies, Analytics, and Your Choices
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the Site, remember your preferences, analyze traffic and performance, and enhance your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, depending on your location, through our on-site consent tools. Disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some features.
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for core Site functionality, security, and network management.
- Preference cookies: remember language, region, and display settings to improve your experience.
- Performance/analytics cookies: help us understand how the Site is used so we can improve content and features.
- Functional cookies: enable enhanced features such as saved forms or personalized content.

Your Rights, Security, and Terms of Use
Subject to applicable Canadian law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information under our control, to challenge its accuracy and completeness, and to request corrections. You may also withdraw your consent to our processing where consent is the basis, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. In certain jurisdictions, you may have additional rights relating to the cessation of dissemination or de-indexation of your personal information, subject to legal conditions. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected]. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding and will reply within timelines required by law. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no security safeguards can guarantee absolute security, and you use the Site at your own risk. The Site may contain links to external websites; we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.
Essential Terms of Use. By using the Site, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and this Policy. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for lawful, informational purposes.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so these may not apply to you. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Site or violation of this Policy. We may modify, suspend, or terminate access to the Site at any time, with or without notice. This Policy and the essential Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. We may update this Policy and the essential Terms of Use at any time by posting an updated version on the Site; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
