This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Website. Please read this policy carefully.

1. About Us

SlotArk is an independent online publication providing slot game reviews, casino reviews, and free-to-play slot demos. We are not a gambling operator and do not accept deposits or facilitate real-money wagering.

2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as pixel tags and web beacons) to collect information about how you interact with our pages. In this policy, "cookies" refers to all such technologies.

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies — required for the website to function correctly (e.g. navigation, preferences). These cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies — placed by Google Analytics 4 to help us understand visitor behaviour, traffic sources, and content performance. All data is aggregated and anonymised.
Third-Party Cookies — set by embedded content or affiliate tracking links when you click through to a partner casino. These are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Website. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

3. What Data We Collect

SlotArk does not require you to create an account to use our Website. The data we collect falls into three categories:

Usage & Device Data (automatically collected)

When you visit our Website, we automatically collect the following via Google Analytics 4:

IP address (anonymised after collection)
Browser type and version
Operating system
Pages visited and time spent on each page
Referring website (the page that linked you to ours)

This data is used in aggregate form only. We do not identify individual users from this data.

Newsletter Data (only if you subscribe)

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This data is processed by our email service provider, Mailchimp. We do not collect any other personal details as part of this process.

Contact Form Data (only if you contact us)

If you submit a message via our contact page, we collect the information you voluntarily provide — typically your name and email address. This is used only to respond to your enquiry and is not retained for marketing without your explicit consent.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

To monitor and analyse usage of our Website and identify areas for improvement
To understand which slot and casino reviews are most useful to our audience
To improve the content, structure, and user experience of our site
To send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in
To respond to enquiries submitted through our contact page

To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

5. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Services

SlotArk contains affiliate links to online casinos and related services. When you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie may be placed by the third-party casino or affiliate network to attribute any subsequent sign-up or deposit. We do not receive or store any financial information about you from these programmes — only whether a qualifying action occurred.

Each casino or service you visit via an affiliate link operates its own privacy policy and data practices. We encourage you to review those before registering with any partner site.

We also use the following third-party services on our Website:

Google Analytics 4 — website analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Google Fonts — typography rendering. No personal data is stored by this integration.
Mailchimp — newsletter delivery for subscribers. See Mailchimp's Privacy Policy.
IONOS — website hosting. Server access logs may be retained by IONOS per their data retention policy.

6. Marketing & Newsletter

If you subscribe to the SlotArk newsletter, you may receive emails about:

New slot game reviews and demo releases

Responsible gambling resources and news

We will only send marketing emails if you have explicitly opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email you receive from us, or by contacting us via our contact page.

After unsubscribing, we retain your email address on a suppression list solely to ensure you do not receive further marketing communications from us.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

Analytics data — retained by Google Analytics for 14 months (their default retention period), after which it is automatically deleted or anonymised.
Newsletter subscriber data — retained for as long as your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, your email is moved to a suppression list to prevent accidental re-addition.
Contact form messages — retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to resolve your enquiry, and deleted thereafter.

We do not store payment data, account credentials, or any sensitive personal information on our servers.
