This Privacy Policy explains how Pinco handles the collection, processing, protection, disclosure, and destruction of personal information across our online services in Canada. The document describes what data we collect, why we collect it, and how long we keep it. Use of personal data is based on user consent and applicable law. By accessing our websites or apps, you acknowledge these practices and the safeguards we maintain.

  • Account credentials and security logs, including hashed passwords and login history.
  • Payment and transaction information, including deposit and withdrawal records, payment tokens, and limited card or bank details processed by providers.

  • Approximate location for eligibility and regulatory compliance.
  • Communications with support and responsible gambling interactions.

Security measures:

  • Encryption in transit and at rest for sensitive data.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • Create and manage user accounts and provide online casino and sportsbook services.
  • Verify identity, age, and location for eligibility and compliance.
  • Process deposits, withdrawals, and payments.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, financial crime, chargebacks, and security incidents.
  • Support responsible gambling tools, self-exclusion, and risk monitoring.
  • Provide customer support and service communications.
  • Send marketing messages where consent is given under CASL, and allow easy opt-out.
  • Analyse site performance and improve our websites, apps, and services.
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations and respond to lawful requests.
  • Enforce terms, manage disputes, and protect our rights and other users.

Processing is lawful, fair, and transparent. We do not sell personal information.

Access, Updates, and Deletion Requests

Users can access, update, or request deletion of personal information through account settings or by contacting our privacy team using the channels provided on the site. We may need to verify identity before acting on a request; responses are generally provided within 30 days.

Corrections and deletion:

  • We correct inaccurate information on request.
  • We delete or de-identify information where permitted by law and once legal retention periods end. Certain records must be kept to comply with gaming, tax, anti-money laundering, and dispute requirements, including typical financial recordkeeping under the PCMLTFA and FINTRAC guidance.

By using Pinco, you consent to security checks and identity verification, and to payment data being processed by banks, payment processors, card schemes, and verification providers. Pinco may ask for additional information to confirm your identity or authority when you submit a request.

Minors and Age Restrictions

The services are intended for users 18 years of age or older. Accounts for minors are not permitted.

The operator cannot verify age without documents. We may request government-issued identification to confirm eligibility. If a parent or legal guardian informs us that a minor has provided personal information, we will promptly close the account and delete the data, subject to any legal retention obligations.

Transfers Outside Canada

Personal information may be stored or processed outside Canada in locations where our service providers, payment partners, or group companies operate. Using the site and services signifies consent to these international transfers.

We require partners to protect confidentiality through written contracts, access controls, and recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where applicable. Pinco monitors compliance and assesses risks before onboarding vendors. Contact us if you want more details about cross-border safeguards.

Nothing in this document reduces statutory rights under Canadian law. If any part of this policy is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder continues to apply. Where versions differ, the English (Canada) version on this page governs.
