Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

CasinoOnlineRank ("we", "our", "us") operates the website casinoonlinerank.com, an independent online casino review and ranking platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly.

For questions about this policy, contact us at: our contact page.

2. Data We Collect

Our website is primarily static and informational — we do not require registration or collect personal data directly. However, the following data may be processed:

Automatically Collected Data

• IP address — used by our web server logs to diagnose errors and prevent abuse. Not stored beyond 30 days.
• Browser type and OS — for compatibility and performance optimisation.
• Pages visited and time on site — via anonymised analytics (if analytics are enabled).
• Country of origin — we use a lightweight geolocation API (ipapi.co) to pre-select your country in the casino filter. No personal data is sent — only your IP address is used and no data is stored on our servers.

Data You Provide

• If you contact us via email, we store the email address and content of your message for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.

3. Cookies

We use one first-party cookie:

• theme — stores your dark/light mode preference. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 1 year.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and obtain consent where required.

4. Affiliate Tracking

When you click a casino link on our site and visit a casino, the casino's own tracking systems will record your visit. This is covered by that casino's privacy policy, not ours. We may receive an anonymised conversion report from the casino operator (e.g., "a player registered") but we do not receive your personal details from the casino.

5. How We Use Data

• To provide country-specific casino recommendations
• To store your theme preference
• To diagnose technical issues and prevent abuse
• To respond to contact form enquiries

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

• Right of access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data.
• Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page.

7. Data Retention

• Server logs: 30 days
• Contact form emails: 12 months from last correspondence
• Theme preference cookie: 1 year (client-side only)

8. Third-Party Services

• Google Fonts: We load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts CDN. Google may collect anonymised usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy.
