Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how CASINO NEWS PRESS (casinonewspress.com) collects, uses, and protects information about visitors to the site. We have tried to write it in plain language, because a privacy policy you cannot understand protects nobody. This policy applies to the website only; it does not apply to third-party sites we link to, including any gambling operators mentioned in our reporting.
If anything here is unclear, or you want to exercise any of the rights described below, email support@casinonewspress.com with the subject line PRIVACY.
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. If you submit a news tip, we receive what you send. We keep correspondence for as long as it remains relevant to our editorial work, and source-related material is handled with additional care as described in our Editorial Standards.
Information Collected Automatically
Like almost every website, our servers and service providers automatically log certain technical data when you visit:
- IP address and approximate location derived from it (country or region level)
- Browser type, operating system, and device category
- Pages viewed, the page that referred you, and timestamps
- Basic interaction data such as how long a page was open
This data is used for security, debugging, and understanding which coverage readers actually find useful. We do not use it to build individual profiles of named readers.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies for site functionality, analytics, and advertising. Our separate Cookie Policy lists the categories in detail and explains how to control them, including how to refuse non-essential cookies entirely.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, secure, and improve the website
- Measure readership so we know what to cover more of and what to retire
- Respond to messages, tips, correction requests, and legal notices
- Serve and measure advertising, which funds our journalism
- Comply with legal obligations that apply to us
Where the law of your jurisdiction requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on legitimate interests for running and securing a news website, consent where we ask for it (for example, non-essential cookies), and legal obligation where processing is required by law.
Advertising and Analytics Partners
We work with third-party advertising and analytics providers. These partners may set their own cookies and collect data about your visit to serve and measure ads, subject to their own privacy policies and to the consent choices you make on this site. We do not sell your personal information in the conventional sense of exchanging it for money. Some jurisdictions define targeted advertising as a form of sale or sharing; where such laws apply, you can opt out through the cookie consent controls described in our Cookie Policy or by contacting us.
Because we cover the gambling industry, some advertising on this site may relate to gambling services. Such ads are subject to the age and jurisdiction restrictions described in our advertising standards, and seeing an ad on this site is never an endorsement by our editorial team.
Sharing of Information
We share information only in these situations:
- Service providers: hosting, analytics, email, and security vendors who process data on our behalf under contractual restrictions
- Advertising partners: as described above and in the Cookie Policy
- Legal requirements: when disclosure is required by valid legal process, though we will resist overbroad demands, particularly anything touching journalistic source material
- Business transfers: if the site is ever sold or reorganized, information may transfer with it under equivalent protections
We never share confidential source information voluntarily. Protecting sources is a core editorial commitment, not just a privacy preference.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a limited operational period and then deleted or aggregated. Email correspondence is kept while it remains relevant. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. We do not keep personal data longer than we have a genuine reason to.
Security
We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and reputable infrastructure providers. No website can promise perfect security, and we will not pretend otherwise, but we take reasonable steps proportionate to the data we hold, which is deliberately minimal.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Complain to your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these, email support@casinonewspress.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, and we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Note that rights of erasure do not extend to published journalism; requests to remove articles are handled under our Corrections Policy, not this Privacy Policy.
Children
This site covers an adults-only industry and is intended solely for readers of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, typically 18 or 21. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International Visitors
Our readership is international and our infrastructure providers may process data in various countries. Where data crosses borders, we rely on our providers’ compliance mechanisms and applicable safeguards. By using the site you acknowledge that your data may be processed outside your home country to the extent permitted by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site, our tools, or the law changes. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
