Project Check operates the website projectcheck.org. We publish editorial content designed to help readers in Canada compare online casinos, understand welcome bonuses, review banking options like Interac and crypto, assess withdrawal speeds, and make safer, better-informed decisions.

Project Check is an informational and affiliate website. We do not operate online casinos, accept bets, process gambling transactions, or manage player accounts.

Cookies and tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar tools, such as pixels and analytics tags, help websites measure performance, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use pages.
On Project Check, cookies and similar technologies may be used for:
- Site analytics
- Ad measurement
- Affiliate attribution
- Fraud prevention
- Basic functionality
Some outbound links to casino partners or related services may contain tracking parameters so that a referral can be credited if you click through or complete an action on a third-party site. This helps support our editorial work at no extra cost to you.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. Please note that some site features may not work properly if certain cookies are disabled.
If you want to ask about tracking or request support related to privacy choices, you can contact us at [email protected].
Advertising, analytics, and affiliate relationships
Project Check may use analytics tools to better understand traffic and improve our content. We may also work with advertising or monetisation partners and affiliate programs.
That means:
- We may receive compensation when users click certain links or sign up with third-party operators
- Some links may include identifiers used for referral tracking
- We may use analytics tools to understand which content is being read and how users move through the site
- We may use advertising technology to measure campaign performance or manage ad delivery
We do not promise that any third-party service uses the same privacy practices we do. When you leave our site, the privacy practices of the destination site will apply.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense of handing it over for money.
We may share limited data with:
- Hosting and website infrastructure providers
- Analytics providers
- Anti-spam and security service providers
- Advertising or measurement partners
- Affiliate platforms for attribution and reporting
- Authorities or legal advisors where required by law or to protect rights and safety
We only share information where there is a business, legal, or operational reason to do so.
Your privacy choices in Canada
Canadian privacy law gives individuals important rights over their personal information, subject to applicable law and reasonable verification.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete information, where appropriate
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Ask questions about how your information is handled
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to understand your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. We will respond within a reasonable time, as required by applicable law.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legitimate operational reasons.
Typical retention periods may include:
- Contact emails and messages: as long as needed to handle the conversation and maintain basic records
- Analytics data: generally up to 24 months, depending on configuration
- Server and security logs: generally up to 12 months, depending on operational need
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, such as HTTPS, access controls, software updates, and limited internal access. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
Project Check is intended for adults. Because our content relates to online casinos, it is not directed to individuals under the legal gambling age in their province or territory.
Please do not use this site or submit personal information if you are under the legal age for gambling where you live.
Third-party links
Our site links to third-party websites, including casino operators, payment-related resources, and informational sources. We are not responsible for the privacy, content, security, or practices of those external websites.
Before sharing personal information or creating an account with a third party, please read that site’s own privacy policy and terms.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, content, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
