This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you use GambleScout.com, why we collect it, and how you can control your data.
What We Collect
Information You Provide
If you contact us through email or a contact form, we collect whatever information you choose to share - typically your email address and the content of your message. We keep this correspondence to respond to your questions and improve our content.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our site, our web server logs basic technical information: your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages you visit, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This is standard server log data that helps us understand traffic patterns and fix technical issues.
We use cookies for essential site functionality - things like remembering your preferences if we add features that require them. Since we don't run ads or third-party tracking scripts, you're not being followed around the internet based on your visit here.
Why We Collect This Data
The technical logs help us identify broken links, understand which content is useful, and spot potential security issues. Contact information lets us respond to questions and complaints. That's it.
What We Don't Do
We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't build detailed user profiles or track you across other websites. We don't have email newsletters that would require storing your address long-term (unless you specifically sign up for one in the future).
Affiliate Relationships
We earn commissions when you sign up at casinos through our links. These are standard affiliate tracking cookies that the casino sites use to credit us for the referral. They're not used for additional tracking on our end - they just connect your signup to our referral. Each casino has its own privacy policy governing what they do with your information once you create an account with them.
Third-Party Links
We link to casino sites and occasionally other relevant resources. Once you click those links, their privacy policies apply. We don't control what they collect or how they use it.
Analytics
We use basic server logs only to understand how people use the site. This helps us figure out which reviews are most helpful and where we should focus our effort. If you use a browser extension that blocks analytics, we won't track anything about your visit.
Your Rights
Access and Deletion: If you've contacted us and want your correspondence deleted, email us at [email protected]. We'll remove it from our records.
Cookies: You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Since we don't use them for much beyond basic functionality, the site will still work fine.
Do Not Track: We respect Do Not Track signals where technically feasible given our minimal tracking setup.
Data Security
We use standard security measures (HTTPS, secure hosting, regular backups). We're a small operation focused on casino reviews, not a data collection business, so we're not holding sensitive personal information beyond occasional email correspondence.
Changes to This Policy
If we make significant changes to how we handle privacy - like adding email newsletters or changing our analytics setup - we'll update this page and note the change at the top.
Kids' Privacy
This site reviews gambling platforms. It's not intended for anyone under 21 (or your local legal gambling age). We don't knowingly collect information from minors.
