Privacy Policy

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• Visitors to SafeGamingSites.com
• People who contact us through our contact form or email
• People who subscribe to any newsletter or updates we may offer
• People who interact with our content (for example, via comments or feedback forms, if enabled)

It does not apply to:

• Online casinos and third-party websites we link to
• Third-party services that have their own privacy policies (for example, payment providers, online casinos, advertisers, social networks)

When you click through to a third-party website, you should always read their privacy and cookie policies before giving them any information.

Please also read our Terms & Conditions to understand how you may use our website.

Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways:

1. Information you give us directly
2. Information we collect automatically when you use the Site
3. Information we receive from third parties

3.1 Information you provide to us

You may choose to share information with us when you:

• Fill in a contact form
• Email us
• Sign up for a newsletter or marketing communications
• Submit a complaint about a casino
• Request to be listed on our site (for operators or partners)

This information can include:

• Name
• Email address
• Country or region
• Any other information you include in your message or attachments

We use this information only for the purposes described in section 4 below.

Note: SafeGamingSites.com does not create or manage player gambling accounts and does not ask you for passwords, payment card details, or bank login credentials. If anyone claims to be from SafeGaming and asks for this information by email, message, or phone, please do not share it and contact us immediately.

3.2 Information collected automatically

When you browse the Site, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Language settings
• The pages you view and links you click
• The date, time, and duration of your visit
• Referring/exit pages and other interaction information

We typically collect this data through:

• Server log files
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies
• Analytics tools provided by third parties

This information is usually processed in an aggregated or pseudonymised form and is not used to identify you personally unless we need to do so for security, legal, or fraud-prevention reasons.

3.3 Information from third parties

We may receive limited information from:

• Analytics and measurement partners (for example, aggregated stats on page views and user behavior)
• Advertising and affiliate partners (for example, whether a visitor clicked a tracking link or signed up at a partner site)
• Social media platforms, if you interact with our profiles or content there (subject to your settings with those platforms)

We do not receive your casino account balances, deposit details, or detailed gambling history from operators. Any such information is held by the casino or platform itself under its own policies.

Your Data Protection Rights

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies.

5.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences and can also be used for analytics and advertising.

5.2 Types of cookies we may use

• Strictly necessary cookies
  Needed for the website to work (for example, security, basic functionality).
• Analytics and performance cookies
  Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve layout, content, and navigation.
• Affiliate and advertising cookies
  Used to track when you click on links to partner casinos or advertisers, so that we can earn commissions and measure campaign performance. We do not use this data to build personal gambling profiles; the operators themselves are responsible for their own tracking and profiling.

5.3 Your cookie choices

You can:

• Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Use built-in tools in your browser to clear cookies and site data
• Opt out of certain interest-based advertising using the tools of major self-regulatory bodies (where available in your region)

Please note: blocking some cookies may affect how the Site functions.

If we implement a cookie banner or preferences tool, those settings will work together with your browser settings.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with:

1. Service providers
   • Companies that help us host the Site, deliver emails, provide security, or analyze traffic.
   • They only process your data on our instructions and must keep it secure.
2. Analytics and affiliate partners
   • Platforms that provide aggregated statistics or track when a user clicks an affiliate link to a casino or other site.
   • This usually involves pseudonymous identifiers (for example, a cookie ID or click ID).
   • For more on how our commercial relationships work, see our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
3. Legal and regulatory authorities
   • Where we are required to do so by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public (for example, in response to a lawful request or court order).
4. Business transfers
   • If SafeGaming is involved in a reorganisation, merger, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We also display links and ads that take you to third-party sites (including online casinos). Those sites collect and use data under their own policies, which we do not control.

International Transfers

Our Site is accessible worldwide, and some of our service providers or partners may be located in other countries.

If your personal data is transferred outside your country (including outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom):

• We aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (for example, contractual clauses approved by regulators), where required by law.

Because SafeGamingSites.com does not operate gambling accounts and does not process financial transactions, the amount of personal data we hold is limited, but we still treat any cross-border transfers carefully.

Data Retention – How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

• Contact and support emails: as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable time afterwards, in case of follow-up questions or disputes.
• Newsletter subscription data (if used): until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data.
• Server logs and technical data: for a limited period to ensure security, investigate incidents, and improve performance.
• Aggregated analytics data: may be stored longer, but in a form that does not directly identify you.

When data is no longer needed, we will either delete it or anonymise it.

How We Protect Your Information

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, such as:

• Secure hosting and firewall protection
• Access controls and need-to-know principles for our team
• Use of encryption where appropriate (for example, HTTPS in transit)

No website or online service can guarantee 100% security, but we work to keep your data safe and review our measures regularly.

You also play a part in security:

• Do not send sensitive financial information to us by email or forms.
• Be careful when using shared or public devices.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights:

• Right of access – to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification – to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure – to ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restrict processing – to ask us to limit how we use your data in certain cases.
• Right to object – to object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
• Right to data portability – in some cases, to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and have it transmitted to another organisation.

We treat privacy requests seriously and aim to respond within the time period required by law (often one month).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at:

Email: support@safegamingsites.com
Subject line: Privacy Request – SafeGamingSites.com

We may ask you for reasonable information to verify your identity before acting on your request.

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children, 18+ Users & Responsible Gambling

SafeGamingSites.com is intended only for adults, and we focus on information related to online gambling, which is for users aged 18 or older (or the legal age in your jurisdiction).

• We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
• If we learn that a child under the legal gambling age has provided us with personal information, we will delete it as soon as reasonably possible.

We strongly support responsible gambling. If you choose to use online casinos or other gambling services:

• Always check that you are of legal age in your country.
• Set limits and never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
• If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, seek help from recognised support organisations in your region.

Third-Party Links and Content

Our Site contains links to third-party websites, including online casinos, payment providers, news sites, and social networks.

• We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or security.
• Each third-party site has its own terms and privacy policy. Always review those documents before sharing your data or creating an account.

Any inclusion of a link does not mean we endorse or guarantee that third party’s practices.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

• When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
• In case of material changes, we may also provide a more prominent notice (for example, a banner on the Site).

We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we handle your information.
