GolfBetting.ca respects your privacy. This page explains what personal information we collect when you visit or use our site, how we use and protect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have, all in compliance with Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA).

Last updated: September 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Who is responsible for your data. GolfBetting.ca is operated by Tessel Hollow Media Ltd., which is the controller of the personal information described in this policy. Questions about privacy, and requests to see or delete your data, go to [email protected].

GolfBetting.ca is an independent informational website. We are not a sportsbook, casino, or gambling operator of any kind. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our site, how that information is used, and the steps we take to keep it secure.

We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. By using GolfBetting.ca you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in three ways:

Automatically collected information

When you visit GolfBetting.ca, the web server that delivers the site keeps a standard request log: your IP address, browser type and version, the page requested, the time of the request and the referring page. The log is used only to keep the site running and secure, and it is not linked to any individually identifiable person. The site does not run analytics or tracking scripts.

Voluntarily provided information

If you write to us by email, we receive your name and email address along with your message. We only collect the information you choose to submit. We do not collect any financial information, payment card details, or government identification.

Cookies

GolfBetting.ca does not set analytics, advertising or third-party cookies. The only thing stored on your device is your answer to the cookie notice, so it is not shown again on every page. For more detail, see Section 4 below.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To improve the quality, accuracy, and relevance of our site content.
To respond to enquiries sent to us by email.
To detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents or abuse.
To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your information to serve targeted advertising.

4. Cookies and tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. This is what GolfBetting.ca stores today:

Strictly necessary – your answer to the cookie notice (accept or decline), kept in your browser's local storage under the name gb-consent. It holds no identifier, is never sent to our server, and exists only so the notice is not shown on every page.
Analytics and advertising – none. No analytics, advertising or third-party cookies are set, whatever you answer.

If a non-essential cookie is ever added, it will only be set after you choose Accept in the notice, and this section will list it by name before it goes live. You can change your answer at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, or by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

When you follow a link to a sportsbook, that operator sets its own cookies on its own domain, under its own policy.

5. Affiliate links and third parties

GolfBetting.ca contains links to third-party sportsbook operators and other external websites. When you click a referral link and visit one of those sites, that site's own privacy policy governs the collection and use of your personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

We may receive an affiliate commission when you register with a sportsbook via a link on our site. This commission does not result in any additional cost to you, and our editorial ratings are determined independently of any commercial relationships.

We do not share, sell, or otherwise transfer your personal information to affiliate partners.

6. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

Email correspondence – retained for up to 12 months from the date of submission, after which they are deleted.
Server request logs – kept for a short rolling period for security and then overwritten.

If you would like to request deletion of any personal data we may hold about you, please contact us at [email protected].

7. Your rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Right of access – you may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Right to correction – you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Right to deletion – you may request that we delete your personal information, subject to any legal retention obligations.
Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, or if you have a concern about how we handle your personal information, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

GolfBetting.ca is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, persons under 19 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe that a minor has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take prompt steps to delete that information.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your continued use of GolfBetting.ca after any changes have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

Common questions

Questions people ask

01

What personal data does this site collect?

We collect only what a website needs to work: server request logs and nothing else. There are no analytics or tracking scripts. We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect betting activity, because none of it happens here.

If you write to us, we keep that correspondence for as long as it takes to answer it.

02

Does the site use cookies?

No analytics, advertising or third-party cookies. The only thing stored is your answer to the cookie notice, in your browser's local storage.

When you click through to a sportsbook, that operator's own policy takes over at their domain.

03

How do I ask for my data to be deleted?

Write to the privacy address on this page with enough detail to identify the records. We will confirm what we hold and delete what we are not legally required to keep.

Under Canadian privacy law you may also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

04

Is data stored outside Canada?

The hosting provider may process data outside Canada. Where that happens, the provider is bound by contract to comparable protections.

No personal data is sold, and none is shared with sportsbooks.
