Privacy
Check Who Controls Your Data on This Gigadat Guide
This Gigadat privacy policy, effective 2026, covers an independent guide for Canadian players. The site never processes transfers and never holds your bank details.
Last updated: 2026. This site is an independent informational guide to the Gigadat payment method for players in Canada. It is not the payment service. It does not move money between your bank and a casino cashier, and it never asks for or keeps your banking login, card number or account details. The text below covers the visitor data the site may collect, why it collects it, and what you can do about it. The scope is narrow because the site handles very little.
The site has a contact form. When you send a message through it, your name, email, subject and message text go to the operator of the network of sites, a separate party that acts as the data processor. After delivery, this site keeps no copy of your message.
The message is passed on for one purpose only, which is to review your message and reply to it. It is not used for newsletters, profiling or anything else.
Your IP address is not stored when you send the form. The only thing kept is an irreversible hash of it, used to block abuse such as spam floods. A hash of this kind cannot be turned back into the original address.
The form does not accept attachments. Files, screenshots and scanned documents cannot be sent through it, so an ID or a bank statement can never reach this site that way.
Any links or contact details you type into the message are hidden automatically for security reasons. If you paste a phone number or a URL, the recipient sees it masked.
Ask What Data Is Held About You
The same contact form handles privacy requests, and nothing gets sent until you tick the consent box.
- Open the contact form
Use the form on this site, which is the only channel for privacy requests. - Choose the privacy topic
Select the subject “Privacy / data request” so your message goes into the right queue. - Say what you want
Ask which of your data is stored, or ask for it to be deleted. - Tick the consent box
The form only sends once you give explicit consent through its checkbox.
Note the 180-Day Limit
Messages are kept for up to 180 days. After that, your name, email and message text are deleted. What remains is anonymised statistics only: the subject, the language and the date. None of these can point back to you.
Every message you send needs your explicit consent, which you give by ticking the box in the form. Without that tick nothing is sent, so the site holds no message from you unless you chose to send one.
Data use
Trace What Data the Gigadat Guide Collects
Analytics records your device, pages and province but not your IP address. Contact messages go to a separate processor, and their content is deleted after 180 days.
The site gathers two kinds of information. The first is technical data that standard analytics records on its own while you read. The second is whatever you type into the contact form, which leaves the site almost as soon as it arrives. The two follow different rules, and it helps to keep them apart when you weigh what a guide like this actually knows about you.
Separate Analytics Data From Anything You Submit
Analytics notes your device and browser type, the pages you open, the page that sent you here and a rough location at the level of country or province. That shows which guides Canadian readers use, but says nothing about who you are. Your IP address is not stored. For protection against abuse, the site keeps only an irreversible hash of it, so the original address cannot be rebuilt from what remains.
| Data type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Device and browser | Fixing layout problems | Phone, mobile browser |
| Pages viewed | Seeing which guides get read | Withdrawal guide |
| Referral source | Learning how readers arrive | Search engine |
| Approximate location | Regional relevance | Country or province |
| IP hash | Abuse protection | Irreversible hash, no address kept |
A message sent through the contact form includes your name, email, subject and text. It is passed for handling to the operator of the network of sites, a separate party acting as data processor, and the site itself does not keep the message once it has been delivered.
That transfer has one purpose only: reviewing your request and replying to it.
The form accepts no attachments.
Links and contact details inside the message text are hidden automatically for security reasons.
Nothing is sent until you tick the consent box in the form. That checkbox is the explicit consent the rules require before any message goes out.
Read the Cookie and Third-Party Wording Closely
Analytics cookies count visits and page views. Outbound links to casinos on our list work differently. Once you click through, that operator sets its own cookies under its own policy, which this site cannot control. From that click onward, your data is governed by the casino's privacy policy, usually linked in its footer, and not by this page.
Check Your Rights and Retention Terms
For readers in Canada, PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws may apply. Messages are kept for up to 180 days. After that, your name, email and text are deleted, and only anonymised statistics remain: the subject, language and date.
You can ask what is stored about you, request a correction, withdraw consent or demand deletion. To do any of these, write through the same form and choose the subject "Privacy / data request".
Keep Payment Details Out of Every Form
Data security on this site rests on one plain rule. The site never asks for online-banking logins, card numbers or Interac account details, so never send them by email or through the form. A deposit with this method is made through your own bank inside a casino cashier, and there the privacy terms of the casino and the bank apply.
We never ask for banking logins. Anyone requesting them in this site's name is not acting for us.
- Your IP address is not stored, and only an irreversible hash of it is kept to block abuse.
- Contact messages go to a separate data processor and are used only to review and answer your request.
- After 180 days, the name, email and text of a message are deleted, and only the subject, language and date remain.
- Write with the subject "Privacy / data request" to see what is stored about you or have it deleted.
- Banking logins, card numbers and Interac account details never belong in a form or an email to this site.
Compare Gigadat Casinos Before Sharing Details
Read each casino's privacy policy and licence details before you sign up, then confirm the Gigadat limits, fees and withdrawal times in the cashier, because the deposit floor of C$10–20 and payouts of a few hours to 3 business days vary from one site to the next.
See Gigadat casinos18+ (19+ in most provinces), so set a personal spending limit before your first transfer and keep play within it.
Privacy FAQ
Get Straight Answers on Privacy and Gigadat
Your bank login never reaches this guide, because every Gigadat transfer runs between your Canadian bank and the casino cashier. Contact messages are deleted after 180 days.
Does this site ever see my bank login or Gigadat details?
No. A Gigadat deposit or withdrawal happens inside the casino cashier and your own online banking through Interac, so this guide never receives your bank login, card number or transfer details. The site only describes the method and links to casinos from its list. Nothing you type during a payment passes through these pages.
Is Gigadat safe from a data standpoint?
When people ask whether Gigadat is safe, the honest answer is that the transfer runs through your Canadian bank via Interac, so the protections your bank already applies to online banking cover that step. What the casino does with your name, address and ID after registration is set by its own policy, which is worth reading alongside your bank's terms. This site cannot guarantee how third parties handle data, so it does not claim to.
Does this guide use cookies, and can I turn them off?
Yes, standard analytics cookies record your device, the pages you open and your province, but not your IP address. You can block or delete them at any time in your browser settings, and the guide will still load and read normally without them.
What happens to my data once I click through to a casino?
From the moment the casino's page opens, that operator's own privacy policy applies, not this one. It decides what it collects during registration and verification and how long it keeps it. Read that policy before you create an account, because this guide has no control over it.
What happens to a message I send through the contact form?
The form only sends after you tick the consent box, and your name, email, subject and text go to the operator of the site network, a separate data processor, purely so the message can be reviewed and answered; the site itself does not keep it after delivery. Your IP address is not stored, only an irreversible hash used against abuse, attachments are not accepted, and links or contacts inside the text are hidden automatically. After 180 days the name, email and text are deleted, leaving only anonymous statistics of subject, language and date.
How do I find out what data you hold or ask to delete it?
Write through the same contact form and choose the subject «Privacy / data request». In the message, say whether you want to know what is stored about you or want it erased, and use the email address you wrote from before so the request can be matched. No fixed reply time is published, so none is promised here.
