Privacy Policy
This policy is a thorough template. Before launch, have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer for the specific jurisdictions you target — privacy law (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and others) imposes operator-specific obligations.
1. Who we are
Verdict Casino ("we", "us", "our") operates this website, which publishes independent reviews of online casinos and slots. For privacy questions, contact privacy@verdictcasino.live. We are the data controller for personal data processed through this site.
2. What data we collect
| Category | Examples | How collected |
|---|---|---|
| Usage data | Pages viewed, referrer, approximate region, device/browser | Privacy-friendly analytics |
| Click data | Which outbound offers you click | UTM parameters on our /go/ links |
| Contact data | Email and message content | Only if you email us |
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. This is an 18+ site.
3. How we use your data
- To understand which content is useful and improve the site.
- To measure which operators our readers are interested in (aggregate, via UTM).
- To respond to enquiries you send us.
- To detect abuse and keep the site secure.
Legal bases (GDPR): legitimate interest (analytics, security) and consent (non-essential cookies). You can withdraw consent at any time.
4. Cookies and analytics
We use minimal cookies and privacy-respecting analytics. See our Cookie Policy for the full list and how to control them. When you click an outbound offer, the destination operator may set its own cookies under its privacy policy — we do not control those.
5. Affiliate links and third parties
Some outbound links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission. This never affects our ratings (see Affiliate Disclosure). When you follow such a link you leave our site and the operator becomes responsible for your data. We may share aggregate, non-identifying click data with partners for attribution. We do not sell personal data.
6. Data retention
Analytics data is kept only as long as needed for the purposes above, then deleted or anonymised. Emails you send are kept while needed to handle your request.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access, correct or delete your personal data;
- object to or restrict processing;
- data portability;
- (EU/UK) lodge a complaint with your data protection authority;
- (California) opt out of "sale"/"sharing" — note we do not sell personal data.
To exercise any right, email privacy@verdictcasino.live.
8. International transfers & security
Our hosting and analytics providers may process data outside your country under appropriate safeguards. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, though no method is 100% secure.
9. Changes
We may update this policy; the "last updated" date reflects the latest version. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
