Privacy & Cookie Policy of northstargamingguide.com
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy & Cookie Policy applies solely to northstargamingguide.com, the official informational and support resource of Ozwin. The purpose of this website is to provide players and prospective players with information about Ozwin’s services, promotions, account guidance, and general support materials.
It is important to understand the distinction between this website and the Ozwin casino platform itself. Actions such as creating an account, logging in, completing identity verification, making deposits or withdrawals, managing bonuses, and engaging in gameplay are all carried out directly within the secure Ozwin platform environment. Personal data collected or processed in connection with those activities is governed exclusively by the privacy policy of the Ozwin platform, not by this document. Visitors who proceed to the Ozwin platform should review that policy carefully.
This policy concerns only the limited and strictly technical data that northstargamingguide.com processes in the course of delivering its informational function.
What Data This Website Processes
Data Collected Automatically
When you visit northstargamingguide.com, the web server automatically records a small amount of technical information necessary for the delivery of each page. This includes:
- Basic server logs: your IP address, the date and time of each page request, the specific page or resource requested, the referring page (if applicable), and the HTTP status code returned by the server.
- Technical data: your browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen and display settings, and language preference as reported by your browser.
- Cookies: a small number of strictly necessary or technical cookies used solely for the proper operation of the website, security purposes, and remembering display preferences such as language or layout settings.
What This Website Does Not Collect
This website does not operate any analytics or traffic-measurement tools of any kind. It does not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or any tracking technologies designed to build profiles of visitor behaviour or to deliver targeted content. There are no contact forms, no newsletter sign-up, and no user account system on this website. Accordingly, this website does not collect and does not store names, email addresses, phone numbers, identity documents, payment information, or any other data that would directly identify you as an individual.
Why This Data Is Used
The limited technical information described above is processed exclusively for the following purposes:
- Technical operation of the website: server logs and technical data are essential for delivering the web pages you request, diagnosing errors, and ensuring that the website functions correctly across different devices and browsers.
- Security and protection against abuse: IP addresses and request logs allow for the detection and prevention of unauthorized access attempts, denial-of-service activity, and other forms of technical misuse.
- Remembering display settings: cookies that store display or language preferences allow the website to present content in a consistent and accessible manner across your visits, without requiring you to adjust settings repeatedly.
No data processed by this website is used for commercial profiling, behavioural advertising, or any purpose beyond the technical operation and security of northstargamingguide.com itself.
Legal Basis for Processing
This website operates in Canada and handles personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Under PIPEDA, the collection of technical data described above is carried out on the basis of the legitimate operational and security purposes for which this website functions. The information is limited to what is necessary to deliver the service and protect its integrity, consistent with the principle of collecting only the minimum information required for an identified purpose.
Residents of some provinces, including Quebec, may have additional rights under applicable provincial privacy legislation. Where such rights exist, they are in addition to those available under PIPEDA.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the website to recognize certain technical preferences on return visits and to maintain basic functionality during your session.
northstargamingguide.com uses only strictly necessary and technical cookies. These cookies do not track your behaviour across other websites, do not serve advertising purposes, and are not shared with third parties for marketing reasons. Their sole function is to support the stable and secure operation of this website and to remember limited display settings you may have applied.
You are entitled to manage, restrict, or delete cookies through the settings of your web browser. Most modern browsers allow you to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure your browser to alert you before a cookie is stored. Please consult the help documentation of your specific browser for instructions. You should be aware that disabling or blocking cookies may affect how certain elements of this website display or operate, and some features may not function as intended if cookies are restricted.
Links to the Ozwin Platform and External Resources
northstargamingguide.com contains links to the Ozwin casino platform and, where relevant, to external resources such as responsible gambling organizations. Once you follow a link and leave this website, this Privacy & Cookie Policy ceases to apply. The Ozwin platform and any other external website you visit will be governed by their own privacy policies and terms of use, for which northstargamingguide.com bears no responsibility.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of the Ozwin platform before registering an account or providing any personal information within that environment. You can review the Terms of Use applicable to this informational website for further information about the scope and conditions of use of northstargamingguide.com.
Data Retention
Server logs and technical data recorded during your visit to northstargamingguide.com are retained only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the security and technical operation of the website. Once this purpose has been fulfilled, the data is deleted or rendered non-identifiable. Because this website does not collect names, email addresses, or any other directly identifying personal information, there is no persistent user profile associated with your visit.
Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law
Under PIPEDA, individuals have the right to know what personal information an organization holds about them, to understand how that information is being used and disclosed, to request access to their own information, and to challenge its accuracy and request correction where it is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You also have the right to withdraw consent to certain uses of your personal information, subject to legal and contractual limitations, and to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) at priv.gc.ca if you believe your information has been handled in a manner inconsistent with applicable law.
However, because northstargamingguide.com does not collect personally identifying information, it does not hold any data that could be meaningfully attributed to you as a specific individual. This website has no contact channel through which to receive or respond to privacy requests. Any rights you wish to exercise in relation to personal information held in connection with your Ozwin account — such as access to account records, correction of registration details, or requests relating to data held under KYC or AML procedures — must be directed to the Ozwin platform directly through its own support and privacy channels.
Minors
northstargamingguide.com is an informational resource related to an online gambling platform. It is intended for adults who have reached the legal gambling age in their province or territory (18 or 19, depending on the jurisdiction). The website is not directed at individuals under the legal age of majority, and no content on this website is designed for or intended to appeal to minors.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy & Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, technical practices, or the operational structure of this website. When material changes are made, the revised version will be published at this address. Your continued use of northstargamingguide.com following the publication of any revised policy constitutes your acknowledgement of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to remain informed of how this website handles technical data.
