Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how CasinoSpector (“CasinoSpector,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit casinospector.com or use our companion mobile application (together, the “Service”).
By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information you provide directly:
- Contact details you submit through forms (e.g., name, email address) when contacting us, subscribing to a newsletter, or submitting a casino review or rating.
- Any content you voluntarily post (reviews, comments, ratings).
b) Information collected automatically:
- IP address, approximate geographic location (country/region), device type, browser type, operating system, and referral URL.
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, click patterns, and general usage analytics.
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 3).
c) Information from third parties:
- Aggregated, non-identifying analytics data from services such as Google Analytics.
- Click and referral data from affiliate tracking partners when you click through to a listed casino operator’s website.
We do not knowingly collect financial account details, gambling account credentials, or payment card information – those are handled exclusively by the third-party casino operators you may choose to visit, not by us.
2. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Personalize content, such as showing casinos relevant to your country.
- Analyze usage trends and Service performance.
- Communicate with you if you contact us or subscribe to updates.
- Track affiliate referrals for compensation purposes (see our Disclaimer for details on affiliate relationships).
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Use.
- Comply with legal obligations.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies for:
- Essential functionality (e.g., remembering your country/language preference).
- Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Service).
- Affiliate tracking – when you click a link to a casino operator listed on our Service, a tracking cookie may be set to record that the referral came from CasinoSpector, which may result in compensation to us if you sign up (see Section 5).
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Service functionality. Where required by law (e.g., in the EU/UK), we will request your consent via a cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies.
4. Third-Party Links and Affiliate Disclosure
The Service contains links to third-party gambling operator websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or conduct of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any casino operator before providing personal or financial information to them. Some of these links are affiliate links, meaning we may receive compensation if you sign up or deposit funds through them, at no additional cost to you. This does not influence the objectivity of our ratings (see our About Us page for our editorial methodology).
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery), under confidentiality obligations.
- Affiliate tracking and advertising networks, limited to referral/click data necessary for attribution.
- Law enforcement or regulators, where required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate fraud or abuse.
- A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
6. International Data Transfers
As CasinoSpector serves users in multiple countries, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. Where required (e.g., transfers out of the EU/UK/EEA), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Analytics data is generally retained in aggregated/anonymized form after this period.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights including:
- EU/UK/EEA (GDPR): access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
- California, USA (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (we do not sell personal information, but affiliate tracking may constitute “sharing” under CCPA’s broad definition
- Other jurisdictions: rights available under applicable local law.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at through our contact us page. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
9. Children’s Privacy
The Service is strictly intended for individuals who meet the minimum legal gambling age in their jurisdiction (typically 18, but 21 or higher in some regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately via our contact us page.
10. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically without any prior notification or notice.
