🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2026

📄 Summary in plain English: this is an informational website. We do not ask for your name, do not create accounts, do not process payments, and do not operate any gambling services. The only data involved is standard technical data collected by cookies and analytics.

1. Who We Are

Larchwezen ("we", "us", "this website") is an independent editorial project publishing informational overviews of land-based casino hotels in Canada. We are not a gambling operator, booking agent, or payment processor.

2. Information We Collect

We do not offer registration, contact forms, newsletters, or purchases, and therefore do not knowingly collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details. When you visit this website, the following technical data may be processed automatically:

IP address and approximate (city-level) location;
Browser type, operating system, and device characteristics;
Pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referring website;
Cookie identifiers described in Section 4.

3. How We Use This Data

Technical data is used solely to:

Ensure the website loads correctly and remains secure;
Understand aggregate visitor statistics (e.g., which reviews are most read);
Measure and improve the quality of our content.

We do not sell personal data and do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Cookies & Analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies, including those set by third-party analytics and advertising services (such as Google Analytics and Google advertising products). These services may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalised advertising by Google at adssettings.google.com. Disabling cookies does not affect access to any content on this site.

5. Third-Party Links

Our guide contains links to external resources, including responsible-gambling organisations and official venue websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

6. Data Retention & Security

Aggregate analytics data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We apply reasonable technical measures (HTTPS, access controls at our hosting provider) to protect the data processed through this website.

7. Age Restriction

The content of this website is intended for individuals aged 21 and older. We do not knowingly collect any data from minors. If you believe a minor has interacted with this website, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including PIPEDA in Canada, GDPR in the EU/EEA, and UK GDPR), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data concerning you. Since we do not maintain user accounts or databases of personal information, such requests will in most cases concern analytics cookie data, which you can also clear directly in your browser.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
