Poker Gods UK (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website pokergods.co.uk (the “Site”). By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information:
- Personal Information: identifiable data you voluntarily provide us. This includes your name and email address if you contact us or subscribe to a newsletter. For example, if you email us a question, we collect your email to respond.
- Non-Personal Information: data that does not identify you personally. This can include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and usage data like pages viewed and time spent (via analytics cookies).
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as financial information or identification numbers) through our Site. We also do not knowingly collect any personal information from individuals under 18. Our content is 18+ only and we expect underage persons not to use the Site.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar tracking to enhance user experience and analyze traffic:
- Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences (e.g., if you accept our cookie banner so it doesn’t keep showing).
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics and similar services to collect non-identifying information about how users interact with our site. This helps us improve content and layout. Google Analytics may set cookies to gather info like your geo-region, pages visited, and site arrival method. All data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Affiliate Cookies: When you click on an affiliate link to a poker site from our Site, a cookie may be placed on your browser by the poker operator or affiliate network to track that you came from us. This is purely for attribution so we may receive credit if you sign up. These cookies do not contain personal details about you, just an anonymous user ID or tag.
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. However, note that certain features of the Site (like preference settings) may not function properly without cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information primarily to:
- Operate and maintain the Site. For instance, your IP address is used to help diagnose server issues or security logs.
- Improve user experience. Non-personal analytics help us understand what content is popular, so we can focus on what readers enjoy.
- Communicate with you. If you contact us via email, we’ll use your email to respond and maybe follow up regarding your query. We will not add you to any mailing list without explicit consent.
- Offer relevant content and promotions. For example, if analytics show many users coming from a certain region, we might tailor some content to that audience’s interests.
- Comply with legal obligations. E.g., keeping records of user consents, or disclosing information if required by law or to enforce our site policies.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
Disclosure of Your Information
We may share information about you in the following situations:
- With Service Providers: We might use third-party services (like website hosting, analytics providers, email service for newsletters) that need access to certain data to perform tasks on our behalf. For example, our analytics partner will process usage data (IP, device info) to provide us reports. These providers are bound by privacy obligations and only use data as instructed by us.
- Affiliate / Referral Tracking: If you click an affiliate link, the necessary data (like an anonymous user ID or tracking code) is shared with the poker operator to track the referral. This is a core aspect of how our site earns revenue (see Affiliate Disclosure below) - but again, this does not involve personal identity info.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose info if required to by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order), or to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others.
- Business Transfers: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information might be transferred to the new entity. If that happened, we would notify users via a notice on the site or by email.
Any third parties we share data with must agree to use it only for the purposes we stipulate and to keep it secure.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. Our site uses SSL encryption (HTTPS) by default, safeguarding data (like any contact form submissions) as it travels from you to us. We store any collected personal data (like email correspondence) in secure environments. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit data to us at your own risk. We also advise you to take precautions - for example, do not send highly sensitive info (like passwords or bank details) to us via email.
If we ever suspect a data breach involving your personal info, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.
Your Rights (for UK/EU Users)
Under GDPR and UK data protection law, you have certain rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: You can request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can ask us to correct any inaccuracies in your personal info.
- Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data (also known as the right to be forgotten), provided we have no legal reason to retain it.
- Objection/Restriction: You can object to or request we restrict processing of your data in some circumstances (for instance, for direct marketing).
- Withdrawal of Consent: If we’re processing data based on consent (e.g., you signed up for a newsletter), you can withdraw that consent at any time.
- Data Portability: If applicable, you can request transfer of the data you provided to us in a machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity (to ensure it’s actually you requesting the data). We will respond within one month unless the request is complex.
Note: these rights apply to personal data. If our info about you is only non-identifiable (like analytics that we cannot link to you), we may not be able to provide or erase that because we might not know which data is yours.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
Our Site may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us (for example, poker room sites we review or news articles we cite). If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Affiliate Disclosure
This is a reminder that we have financial relationships with some of the companies mentioned (see our Affiliate Disclosure section below for full details). As per guidelines, when you click on affiliate links and sign up, cookies track that referral. The data involved in affiliate tracking is typically non-personal (it just tags you as a user who came from our site, without revealing your identity to the poker room beyond whatever info you give them in their signup process). However, note that once you go to a poker operator and provide them data, that data is governed by their privacy policy, not ours.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us immediately. We will promptly investigate and remove any such information.
Updates to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will place a prominent notice on our site or notify users by email (if appropriate). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the site after any modifications indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
