What Information We Collect
We collect a limited amount of information from visitors, falling into three broad categories.
Information you provide directly. If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we receive your email address, your name (if you provide one), and the contents of your message. If you sign up for any newsletter or alert we offer in the future, we will collect the email address you provide and any preferences you choose. We do not currently offer user accounts, comments, or forums.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, our systems automatically log standard technical information about your visit. This typically includes your IP address, the type and version of your browser, your operating system, the type of device you are using, the pages you view on the site, the website that referred you (if any), and the date, time, and approximate length of your visit.
Cookies and similar technologies. The site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including session cookies, analytics cookies, and affiliate tracking cookies. More detail on these is set out in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for a small number of clearly defined purposes:
- To operate and maintain the website, including hosting, security, and technical support.
- To understand how visitors use the site, so that we can improve our content, structure, and overall user experience.
- To track affiliate referrals, so that casino operator partners can verify which visitors arrived via SlotClans. This is essential to how the site generates revenue.
- To respond to messages and questions sent to us through the contact form or by email.
- To comply with our legal obligations, including those relating to record-keeping, fraud prevention, and responses to lawful requests from authorities.
We do not use your personal information to build advertising profiles, and we do not pass it on to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use a few types of cookies on SlotClans:
- Essential cookies are required for the site to function properly. They support tasks such as page navigation, security checks, and remembering your cookie preferences.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies generate aggregate reports rather than identifying individual visitors.
- Affiliate tracking cookies are set when you click on a link to a casino operator. They allow our partners to attribute your visit to SlotClans so that any commission earned can be paid correctly.
- Performance and security cookies are set by our content delivery network, Cloudflare, to help the site load quickly and to defend against malicious traffic.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie consent tool that appears when you first visit the site. You can also adjust or block cookies through your browser settings. If you choose to disable non-essential cookies, the site will continue to work, although some features and analytics may be reduced.
Third-Party Services
Several trusted third-party services help us operate the site. Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which applies in addition to ours.
- Cloudways provides our hosting infrastructure. Server-level data such as access logs may be processed by Cloudways on our behalf. View Cloudways privacy policy.
- Cloudflare provides our content delivery network and security layer. Cloudflare may process technical and security-related data when you visit the site. View Cloudflare privacy policy.
- Google Analytics provides aggregate analytics about how the site is used. View Google privacy policy.
- Affiliate networks and casino operator partners receive referral information when you click on a tracked link from SlotClans. The exact partners involved depend on which links you follow.
We choose third-party services that we believe meet appropriate privacy and security standards. We do not control how these services operate, but we do not share more information with them than is needed for the role they play.
How We Share Information
We share information only in the limited circumstances described below:
- Service providers. We share information with the third-party providers listed above (such as our hosting provider, content delivery network, and analytics service) so that they can perform services on our behalf. They are not permitted to use that information for their own purposes beyond what is necessary to provide those services.
- Affiliate partners. When you click on a tracked link to a casino operator, technical referral data is passed to that operator and to any affiliate network involved. This is how affiliate commission is verified. Once you arrive at the operator’s site, that operator’s own privacy policy governs your relationship with them.
- Legal authorities. We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, where we are responding to a valid legal request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade it for marketing purposes.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep information only for as long as is needed for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by applicable law.
- Server access logs are typically retained for up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting.
- Analytics data is retained according to the standard retention settings of Google Analytics, currently set to 14 months for user-level and event-level data.
- Email correspondence is kept for as long as we need it to respond to your query and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up.
- Cookie data is retained according to each cookie’s individual lifespan, ranging from a single browsing session to a maximum of two years.
Your Privacy Rights
These rights are recognized by laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act, the Philippines Data Privacy Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar consumer privacy laws in other U.S. states.
- Right of access. You can ask us to confirm whether we hold information about you and to provide a copy of that information.
- Right of rectification. You can ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Right of erasure. You can ask us to delete information we hold about you, subject to any legal reasons we may have to keep it.
- Right to object. You can object to certain types of processing, including processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Right to data portability. You can ask for a copy of the information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used format that you can take elsewhere.
- Right to withdraw consent. Where we rely on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time.
- Right to lodge a complaint. You can complain to your local data protection authority if you believe your privacy rights have not been respected.
To exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected] with the details of your request. We may need to verify your identity before we can respond, particularly for requests involving deletion or access. We aim to respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request.
International Data Transfers
SlotClans operates internationally, and several of the third-party services we rely on are based outside any one country or region. As a result, information we collect may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than the one you are visiting from.
Where personal information is transferred from a region with specific data transfer rules (such as the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom) to a country that has not been recognized as providing an equivalent level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards. These typically include standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms recognized by the relevant authorities.
Children’s Privacy
SlotClans is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, which is 18 in most countries and 19 or 21 in some others. The site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the legal gambling age in their location. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will delete that information as soon as reasonably possible.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or the laws that apply to us. When we update the policy, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of the page. For material changes, we will also provide a more visible notice on the site, such as a banner or notification, for a reasonable period after the change takes effect.
