Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Up North Snow reviews no-KYC casinos — platforms chosen specifically because they do not require players to surrender personal documents. It would be contradictory for us to then harvest your data on this website. This privacy policy reflects that principle: we collect as little as possible, retain it briefly, and never sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Our Privacy Commitment
A site that advocates for player privacy must hold itself to a higher standard than the industry average. Here is what that means in practice:
- No tracking cookies for advertising — We do not run retargeting pixels, display ad networks, or any cookie-based advertising system. You will not see ads for casinos you looked at on Up North Snow following you around the web.
- No data sold or shared — We have never sold visitor data to any third party and have no plans to do so. Aggregate, anonymized analytics are the only data product this site generates.
- Minimal collection — We collect what we need to keep the site running and improve content. Nothing more.
What We Collect
Automatic Server Data
Our hosting infrastructure logs basic request information:
- IP address (anonymized by truncating the last octet before storage)
- Browser user-agent string
- Pages requested and timestamps
- Referring URL
These logs exist for security monitoring (detecting bot attacks, abuse patterns) and are automatically purged after 30 days.
Analytics
We use a privacy-focused analytics setup with IP anonymization enabled. We track aggregate page views, traffic sources, and device categories to understand which content is useful and what needs improvement. We do not build individual visitor profiles or track users across sessions.
Voluntary Contact
If you email us, we receive whatever information you choose to include. We recommend using a pseudonym or anonymous email service if you prefer — we do not require a real name to respond to your inquiry.
Cookies
Up North Snow uses only two categories of cookies:
- Functional cookies — Essential for page delivery. Cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
- Affiliate attribution cookies — When you click an outbound link to a casino platform, that platform may set a cookie on your device to track the referral. This cookie is set by and governed by the casino's own privacy policy, not ours. We have no access to the data it contains.
Notably absent: advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, and third-party analytics cookies that follow you across sites. We have intentionally excluded all of these.
Outbound Links & Affiliate Disclosure
Up North Snow contains links to no-KYC casino platforms. When you click these links, you leave our site and enter the casino's domain. We have no control over and no visibility into what data the casino collects from that point forward. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any platform before creating an account.
We earn affiliate commissions when visitors sign up through our links. This is disclosed throughout the site. It does not influence our editorial rankings or which platforms we recommend.
Data Security
All connections to upnorthsnow.com are encrypted via TLS. We do not operate user accounts, login systems, or databases containing personal information. The attack surface of this site is minimal by design — there is no user data trove to breach.
Data Retention
Server logs: 30 days, then auto-deleted. Analytics data: retained in anonymized, aggregated form for up to 14 months. Email correspondence: deleted after the inquiry is resolved, unless you request that we retain it.
Your Rights Under CCPA & Other Frameworks
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected about you
- Request deletion of that information
- Opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell data, so this right is satisfied by default)
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights
Regardless of your jurisdiction, we honor deletion and access requests from all visitors. Contact [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.
Age Restriction
This site is intended for adults aged 18 or older (21 in jurisdictions where that is the legal gambling age). We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we learn that a minor has contacted us, their data will be deleted immediately.
Policy Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the revision date above and post the new version here. We will not retroactively apply material changes to data already collected under the previous policy.
