Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit RealMoneyCasinoRank.
Introduction
RealMoneyCasinoRank (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor to our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use and safeguard it. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information:
Information you provide directly
- Contact form submissions: If you contact us via our contact page, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your enquiry.
- Email correspondence: If you email us directly (e.g. at [email protected]), we retain that correspondence to provide support and respond to your questions.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics data: We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled. This collects aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data such as pages viewed, time on site, referring URLs, browser type, and device category. Analytics cookies are only loaded after you provide consent via our cookie banner.
- Ahrefs Analytics: We use Ahrefs analytics to understand site performance and search visibility. This collects aggregated usage data and does not track individual users.
- Server logs: Our hosting provider may collect standard server access logs including IP addresses, request timestamps, and user-agent strings. These logs are used for security monitoring and are automatically deleted after 30 days.
Cookies and Consent
We use a cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit. No analytics or tracking cookies are set until you actively click “Accept”. If you click “Reject”, no analytics cookies are loaded. Your preference is stored locally in your browser using localStorage (not a cookie) so that we can remember your choice on subsequent visits.
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser’s local storage for this site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to enquiries and provide customer support.
- To understand how visitors use our site and improve our content, layout, and user experience.
- To monitor site security and prevent abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations where applicable.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
Our site contains affiliate links to third-party casino operators. When you click an affiliate link and register with a casino, that casino’s own privacy policy applies to the data you provide them. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party casino operators. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing personal information.
For full details on our affiliate relationships, see our affiliate disclosure.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We share data only with:
- Google Analytics: Aggregated, anonymised usage data (only when you consent to cookies).
- Ahrefs: Aggregated site performance data.
- Hosting providers: Our hosting infrastructure processes server requests, which necessarily involves your IP address and request data.
We will disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Contact form data: Retained for up to 12 months after your enquiry is resolved, then deleted.
- Analytics data: Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months before automatic deletion.
- Server logs: Automatically deleted after 30 days.

- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data.

Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption across our entire site and access controls for internal systems.
