Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 15, 2025
At Avanti Cigar Company, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our social casino gaming platform.
We're committed to transparency. If anything here doesn't make sense or if you have questions, reach out to us at info@avanticigarcompany.com. We're happy to clarify.
Information We Collect
When you create an account and play games on our platform, we collect certain information. Some of it you give us directly, and some we gather automatically as you use the service.
Data Type | What We Collect | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Account Information | Username, email address, date of birth, country of residence | Account creation and age verification |
Game Progress | Level completion, achievements, in-game currency balance, play history | Save your progress and personalize experience |
Device Data | IP address, device type, browser information, operating system | Platform optimization and security |
Social Features | Friend connections, messages, leaderboard rankings, community posts | Enable social gaming features |
Usage Analytics | Session duration, feature usage, game preferences, click patterns | Improve platform and game design |
We don't collect financial information since our platform doesn't involve real-money gambling. However, if you make optional in-app purchases for virtual items, payment processing is handled by third-party providers who have their own privacy policies.
How We Use Your Information
The data we collect serves specific purposes. We're not interested in using your information beyond what's necessary to run the platform and keep it secure.
- Maintain your account and save your game progress across devices
- Enable you to connect with friends and participate in community features
- Send you notifications about game updates, new features, or account activity
- Analyze platform performance to fix bugs and improve user experience
- Prevent fraud, cheating, and unauthorized access to accounts
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to legitimate requests from authorities
- Personalize game recommendations based on your playing patterns
We won't sell your personal information to third parties. That's not our business model, and frankly, it shouldn't be anyone's.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
There are limited circumstances where we share your information with others. Here's when that happens and why.
Service Providers
We work with third-party companies that help us operate the platform. These include cloud hosting services, analytics providers, and customer support tools. They only get access to the information they need to do their job, and they're contractually obligated to protect it.
Legal Requirements
If we receive a valid legal request from law enforcement or government agencies, we may need to disclose your information. We'll notify you when possible unless legally prohibited from doing so.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity. You'll be notified of any such change and given options regarding your data.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies. These are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and understand how you use the platform.
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic platform functionality like keeping you logged in
- Performance Cookies: Help us understand which features are popular and identify technical issues
- Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences such as language settings or display options
- Analytics Cookies: Provide aggregate data about user behavior to improve the platform
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies may limit platform functionality.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Canadian privacy law and other applicable regulations, you have specific rights regarding your personal information.
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information in your account
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data (with some exceptions for legal compliance)
- Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time
- Restriction: Request limits on how we process your information
To exercise these rights, contact us at info@avanticigarcompany.com. We'll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing requests.
Data Security and Retention
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit, secure server infrastructure, and regular security audits.
That said, no system is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. Use strong passwords and don't share your account credentials with others.
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. After account deletion, we may keep certain data for legitimate business purposes like fraud prevention or legal compliance, typically for no more than 7 years.
Children's Privacy
Our platform is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We don't knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we discover that we've inadvertently gathered data from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly.
Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us immediately at info@avanticigarcompany.com.
International Data Transfers
We operate primarily within Canada, but some of our service providers may be located in other countries. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to Canadian privacy standards.
If you're accessing our platform from outside Canada, be aware that your information will be processed in Canada where privacy laws may differ from your country.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the platform or via email. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
Continued use of the platform after policy changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with changes, you can delete your account.
