This policy explains what Casino Trust Center collects when you visit the site, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do with it. It covers this website only. Operators you visit through a link have their own policies, and those policies govern what happens after you leave.
What we collect
- Usage data. Pages viewed, referring URL, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser type, and interaction events such as outbound clicks. This is aggregated analytics, not a profile of you.
- Technical logs. IP address and request metadata kept by our hosting provider for security, abuse prevention and debugging.
- Voluntary contact. Your email address and message if you write to us.
- Referral attribution. If you click an affiliate link, the operator or its network may set a cookie to attribute the referral. That cookie is theirs, not ours.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for your name, address, date of birth or payment details. We do not hold player balances and we cannot see your account at an operator. If someone contacts you claiming to be us and asks for account credentials, it is not us.
We do not buy personal data from data brokers, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. That is not a policy we are forced into; it is a product decision, because a site about reading terms should not need to know who you are.
Why we collect it
Usage data tells us which pages are read and which are abandoned, which is the only honest way to decide what to build next. Technical logs protect the site from abuse. Contact messages are answered and kept for reference. Referral attribution pays for the work.
We do not use any of it to make automated decisions about you, and we do not build advertising audiences from it.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of first-party cookies for basic site function and aggregate analytics. Affiliate cookies are set by the operator or its network when you click a partner link, and their duration is set by that programme, commonly 30 days.
You can block cookies in your browser. Blocking affiliate cookies does not break the site; it only means a referral may not be attributed. We do not use cookie walls or require consent to read the content.
Analytics and third parties
We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not require a persistent identifier across sites. Our hosting provider processes request logs on our behalf. We do not embed social pixels, retargeting tags or third-party advertising scripts.
If that changes, this page changes first, and the change will be dated. We would rather write less and mean it than list a dozen vendors we do not use.
How long we keep data
Aggregate analytics are retained for up to 24 months. Server logs are retained by the hosting provider for a shorter period, typically 30 days or less. Contact emails are kept while the conversation is active and for up to 12 months afterwards, so that a correction thread can be followed.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold, to request a copy, to request deletion, or to opt out of certain sharing. Because we collect very little, most requests resolve to "we hold an email you sent us and aggregate analytics".
To make a request, write to editorial@casinotrustcenter.com with the subject "Privacy request". We aim to respond within 30 days. We may ask for confirmation that the request is yours, but we will not ask for identity documents for a request about an email address.
California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. The do not sell or share page explains the position and how to submit a request anyway.
Children
The site is written for adults and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a minor has contacted us, write to the address above and we will delete the message.
International visitors
The site is operated from the United States and the content is written for a US audience. If you visit from outside the US, your request is processed in the US, and the protections that apply are those described here rather than your local law.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we update this page and change the effective date. Material changes (a new category of data, a new processor, a new purpose) will be described in plain language rather than buried in a revised paragraph.
