Data & Privacy

Privacy Policy

What this site collects about visitors reading our China Shores coverage, and what control you have over it.

Scope of this policy

This page explains how our independent review of the Konami slot China Shores handles visitor data. We are not a casino, we do not process deposits, and we do not hold gambling accounts. The data described here relates only to your visit to this website: pages read, demo interactions if you use an embedded free-play version, and any preferences you set (such as cookie consent or display settings). Where our content links to a partner casino, that operator's own privacy policy governs any account, KYC, or payment data you provide there — this page covers only what happens on our domain.

What we collect and why

Standard analytics data is collected on every visit: pages viewed, time on page, referring source, browser type, and approximate location derived from IP address (typically city or province level, not precise geolocation). This is used to understand which parts of the China Shores review are read — the RTP and volatility figures, the feature breakdown, the availability notes for Canadian players — so we can keep the content accurate and remove sections that no longer serve readers.

If a free-play demo of China Shores is embedded on the site, the demo provider may set its own cookies or collect play-session data (spin counts, session length) independently of us. We do not receive results of individual spins, and no real-money or identity data passes through a demo session, since demos never require an account.

Cookies on this site fall into two categories: strictly necessary cookies that remember consent choices and basic site functionality, and optional analytics cookies that can be declined without affecting your ability to read reviews or use the demo. No advertising profile is built from gambling behaviour on this site, since we do not operate wagering functionality ourselves.

We do not knowingly collect data from anyone below the applicable legal age for gambling content in their province. Given the 19+ threshold in most of Canada, and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, age-gating on partner casino sites applies separately from this domain's analytics collection.

Your rights and how to exercise them

Canadian visitors are covered by federal private-sector privacy law (PIPEDA) and, depending on province, additional provincial rules. In practice this means you can ask what data we hold about your visits, request correction of inaccurate records, and request deletion of analytics data tied to your browser or IP where technically feasible. Because we do not maintain user accounts for this review site, most requests resolve to clearing cookies and analytics identifiers rather than deleting a stored profile.

Opting out is straightforward: declining the optional analytics cookie banner stops non-essential tracking going forward, and clearing browser cookies removes any previously stored identifiers from this site. If a third-party demo widget is present on a page, its own opt-out mechanism — usually a separate cookie settings link — applies independently.

We do not sell visitor data to third parties. Where analytics or hosting providers process data on our behalf, they do so under standard data-processing terms and only for the purposes described above — measuring readership of coverage like the China Shores feature breakdown or the availability notes for Canadian players, not for building gambling-behaviour profiles.

Requests about your data, or questions about how a specific section of the site — including this privacy page — handles information, can be directed through the contact channel listed in the site footer. Response timelines follow applicable Canadian privacy law rather than a fixed internal target.
