2. What We Collect
Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Contact form submissions: If you use our contact form on the Reach Us page, we collect your name, email address, subject selection, and message content. This information is only used to respond to your inquiry.
- Email correspondence: If you email us directly at [email protected], we retain the email content, your email address, and any attachments for the purpose of responding and maintaining conversation history.
Information Collected Automatically
- Server logs: Our hosting provider automatically records your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, timestamps, and request data. These logs are maintained by the hosting infrastructure and are used for security monitoring and performance analysis.
- Analytics data: If analytics tools are active, they may collect anonymized usage data including page views, session duration, bounce rate, geographic region (country/city level), device type, and screen resolution. We use this data to understand how visitors use the site and improve content accordingly.
- Cloudflare data: Our site uses Cloudflare for security and performance. Cloudflare may process your IP address and browser data as part of its security services. You can review Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Our use of cookies is minimal:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality such as security tokens. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features.
- Cloudflare cookies: Cloudflare sets cookies (e.g., __cflb, __cf_bm) for security purposes including bot detection and DDoS protection. These are classified as strictly necessary cookies.
- Analytics cookies: If analytics services are active, they may set cookies to track session data. These cookies collect anonymized information about how you use the site.
- Affiliate cookies: If you click on an affiliate link to an external casino, that casino's website may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the casino's privacy policy, not ours.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or receive a notification when a cookie is set. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent certain site features from functioning correctly.
4. How We Use Data
We use collected data for the following purposes:
- Responding to inquiries: Contact form submissions and emails are used solely to reply to your message.
- Site improvement: Analytics data helps us understand which content is valuable, identify technical issues, and improve the user experience.
- Security: Server logs and Cloudflare data are used to detect and prevent unauthorized access, abuse, and cyber attacks.
- Legal compliance: We may process data as required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data in the following limited circumstances:
- Hosting provider: Our web hosting provider has access to server logs as part of providing hosting infrastructure. They process this data under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.
- Cloudflare: As a CDN and security provider, Cloudflare processes certain traffic data. Their processing is governed by their privacy policy and data processing addendum.
- Analytics providers: If analytics tools are active, anonymized usage data is processed by the analytics service provider.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party casino or service, you leave our site. Any data you provide to those third parties is subject to their privacy policies, not ours. We recommend reviewing their policies before submitting any personal information.
