Our Commitment to Privacy
At PlayersGuide.ca, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal information. Our website operates as an independent informational platform and collects only the data necessary to ensure proper functionality, improve user experience, and comply with applicable Canadian privacy laws. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the measures we take to safeguard it.

Compliance Data
Certain information may be stored locally in your browser — such as cookie consent choices and age verification (21+ for Canadian users) — to ensure compliance with content access policies and privacy regulations.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Trusted Service Providers
We may work with third-party providers (analytics tools, hosting services) to support technical operations and performance analysis. These partners are contractually required to handle data responsibly, maintain confidentiality, and use data only for authorized purposes.
Legal Obligations
We may disclose information if required by applicable Canadian law, legal requests, or government authorities, such as subpoenas, court orders, or regulatory investigations.

Our site may contain links to third-party platforms or informational websites. These external sites operate independently, and their privacy practices are not governed by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any external websites you visit through our links.
5. Security
We use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse.
