Joe Baugher operates https://www.joebaugher.com/, an editorial website focused on helping Canadian users compare online casinos, bonuses, payment methods, payout speeds, licensing signals, and safer gambling tools.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when browsing our site.
We are an affiliate publisher. We do not operate an online casino, accept bets, process gambling payments, or manage casino accounts.
What We Collect
You can read our content without creating an account.
We may collect limited information in the following ways:
Information You Send Us
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we may receive your name, email address, and message.
Browsing & Device Information
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical data such as:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Pages viewed
- Referring pages
- Approximate location
- Time spent on site
- Click activity

Cookies & Affiliate Tracking
We may use cookies, pixels, tracking links, UTM tags, click IDs, and similar tools to understand site traffic, measure performance, and attribute affiliate referrals.
We do not ask users to submit sensitive personal information, banking details, government ID, or casino account credentials.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Run and maintain the website
- Respond to messages
- Understand which pages are useful
- Improve casino reviews and comparison content
- Detect spam, abuse, or technical issues
- Measure affiliate link clicks and referrals
- Support advertising, analytics, and site performance
If we ever offer a newsletter, we will only send it to users who ask to receive it, and every email will include an unsubscribe option.
Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. They help us understand how users interact with our site and whether outbound links are working properly.
Affiliate links may include tracking IDs so a casino or affiliate network can identify that a referral came from our website. This does not mean we can see your casino account, deposits, withdrawals, or gambling activity.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features or tracking accuracy.
Advertising, Analytics & Affiliates
We may work with analytics providers, advertising platforms, affiliate networks, hosting providers, and anti-abuse tools.
Outbound links to casino brands may contain affiliate tracking. If you click a link and later register or make a qualifying action, we may earn a commission. This does not change the price or offer available to you.
Our editorial goal is to provide useful, independent information. Affiliate compensation does not guarantee placement or a positive review.
Sharing of Information
We may share limited information with:
- Service providers that help host, secure, and operate the site
- Analytics and advertising partners
- Affiliate networks and casino partners for referral tracking
- Legal, regulatory, or security contacts when required
We do not sell personal information for money.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live in Canada, you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or ask us to delete information where legally appropriate.
To make a request, email [email protected].
We may ask for basic verification so we can confirm the request is legitimate. If we cannot fulfill a request, we will explain why.
Data Retention & Security
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above.
Typical retention periods may include:
- Contact messages: as long as needed to respond and manage records
- Analytics data: up to 24 months where supported by the tool
- Server logs: up to 12 months unless needed for security or troubleshooting
We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, updates, and basic security monitoring. No website can guarantee perfect security.
Children’s Privacy
