This privacy policy describes how this website collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our pages. We are an independent editorial resource focused on data-driven analysis of the sweepstakes casino industry. We do not operate a casino, process gambling transactions, or maintain user accounts with financial functionality. Our commitment to transparency in editorial content extends to how we handle visitor data.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information through standard web technologies. This includes technical data transmitted automatically by your browser when you load a page: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address. This data is collected through server logs and, where applicable, through third-party analytics services.
We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or payment details through this website. We do not require account registration, and we do not operate login systems, comment sections, or contact forms that would capture personally identifiable information directly from visitors.
How We Use Information
Technical data collected through server logs and analytics is used for the following purposes: understanding aggregate traffic patterns to improve content quality, monitoring site performance and diagnosing technical issues, analyzing which sections of the guide readers find most useful, and ensuring the security and integrity of the website. We do not use visitor data for advertising targeting, and we do not sell, rent, or share individual-level data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Analytics Services
This website may use third-party analytics tools to understand visitor behavior in aggregate. These services may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect information about how visitors interact with the site. Analytics data is processed in a manner that does not personally identify individual visitors. You can learn more about how Google processes analytics data at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies as described in our separate Cookie Policy page. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function properly and provide anonymous usage data. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing any content on this site.
Third-Party Links
Our content contains links to external websites, including government agencies, research organizations, industry publications, and sweepstakes casino platforms discussed in our analysis. These links are provided for informational and source-attribution purposes. We do not control the privacy practices of external websites, and clicking a third-party link subjects you to that site’s own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site before providing personal information.
This website does not use affiliate links. Links to sweepstakes casino platforms or other commercial entities are included solely for editorial reference and are not compensated.
Data Retention
Server logs containing technical visitor data are retained for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, typically no longer than 12 months. Aggregated analytics data that cannot identify individual visitors may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to or from this website.

If you believe that a minor has provided personal information through this site, please notify us so we can take appropriate action.
