Privacy Policy

1. Overview

At The Art of Casino, safeguarding your privacy is a top priority. This document outlines our practices regarding data collection, usage, and protection when you access our platform. Understanding these practices helps you make informed decisions about your interactions with our services.

2. About Our Platform

The Art of Casino operates as a global gaming venue directory at theartofcasino.com. Our platform aggregates information about casinos, card rooms, bingo halls, racetracks, and related entertainment establishments. We also publish educational materials covering casino games, gaming strategies, and industry insights to help visitors make informed decisions.

3. Data We Gather

Our servers automatically record standard technical data when you browse our site, including your device's IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This technical information supports site security and helps us understand general usage patterns.

With your consent, we may access your approximate geographic location through your browser to display nearby gaming venues. You can deny this request through your browser's permission settings without affecting core site functionality.

Should you create an account to manage a venue listing, we request:

• Your full name and email address
• Details about your business relationship with the venue
• Communication preferences

4. Browser Storage Technologies

Our website employs cookies and similar technologies to:

• Remember your browsing preferences and search history within your browser
• Preserve your selected display theme across sessions
• Measure site performance and identify areas for improvement
• Enable advertising networks to serve relevant promotions

Advertising partners may deploy their own tracking technologies to customize advertisements. Your browser settings allow you to manage or block these technologies.

5. External Service Providers

We integrate the following external services:

• Google Analytics: Provides anonymized traffic statistics and user behavior insights to optimize our platform
• Google AdSense: Delivers contextual advertisements tailored to visitor interests and demographics
• Affiliate Networks: We participate in partnership programs with hotel booking platforms, restaurant reservation services, and entertainment ticket vendors, earning referral fees on qualifying transactions

These providers access only aggregated, non-personal data unless you voluntarily submit identifying information. Each service operates under its own privacy terms.

6. Affiliate & Third Party Tracking

TheArtOfCasino.com participates in affiliate marketing programs including Income Access and Partnerize. This means we may earn commissions when you click links to partner websites or register, place bets, or make purchases with certain operators such as BetMGM, FanDuel, DraftKings, StubHub, Viagogo, or other gaming, ticketing, hotel, travel, or entertainment providers promoted on our site.

When you click an affiliate link, tracking parameters may be used to record referral information. We do not sell or share your personal information to third parties solely because you clicked an affiliate link. Once you leave our site, the third party's own privacy and cookie policy governs any data collection or processing performed on their side.

If you provide personal data to a partner (for example during registration or checkout on a betting site, ticket marketplace, or hotel booking site), that process is entirely between you and the partner. We recommend you review the partner's privacy policy before submitting personal information.

7. Ticketing Partners

We may display links to ticket marketplaces such as StubHub, Viagogo, and other ticketing platforms for events at casino venues. TheArtOfCasino.com does not sell tickets directly. All ticket purchases are processed through these third-party platforms, and any orders, delivery, refunds, or customer support inquiries must be directed to the ticket provider.

When you click a ticketing link, you will be redirected to the partner's website where their privacy policy and terms of service apply. We are not responsible for ticket availability, pricing, authenticity, or the fulfillment of orders placed through these platforms.

8. Cookies, Analytics and Data Use

We may use standard web analytics, cookies, tracking scripts, and third party tools to analyze site traffic, page usage, conversions, and affiliate referrals. This helps us improve site performance, show relevant recommendations, and monitor affiliate link performance. You may opt out of analytics cookies via your browser settings or a cookie consent mechanism if implemented.

9. Contact & Data Rights

If you wish to request information about what personal data we have collected or request deletion, you may contact us at the email provided on our Contact page.

10. Purpose of Data Collection

Collected information serves these objectives:

• Operating and maintaining our casino directory infrastructure
• Personalizing content based on your location and stated preferences
• Processing account requests and ownership verification
• Enhancing platform features and fixing technical issues
• Responding to your questions and support tickets
• Generating anonymized reports for internal analysis
• Presenting advertising content

11. When We Share Information

Your personal details remain confidential. We do not sell, lease, or trade your information to outside parties. Exceptions occur only when:

• Delivering a service you specifically requested
• You grant explicit authorization
• Working with bound service providers under strict confidentiality terms
• Complying with valid legal demands, court orders, or regulatory requirements
• Protecting our legal interests or defending against claims

12. Security Practices

We deploy multiple layers of protection for stored information:

• Secure facility access controls and network monitoring
• Encrypted account credentials
• TLS/SSL encryption for all data transmissions
• Role-based access restrictions for staff

While we implement industry-standard safeguards, no digital system offers perfect protection. We cannot provide absolute guarantees against all potential breaches.

13. Advertisement Practices

Advertisements appearing on our pages may reflect your geographic region, language preferences, and browsing patterns. Clicking these promotions redirects you to external websites beyond our control. We bear no responsibility for third-party data practices.

We never transmit personal identifiers to advertisers. Engaging with an advertisement implies only that you fit the advertiser's general targeting parameters.

14. Directory Content Accuracy

Gaming venue details shown on our platform originate from public records, establishment websites, and submissions from verified property representatives. Though we strive for accuracy, we recommend confirming specifics directly with venues prior to your visit.

Your browsing history within our directory remains private. We maintain no records of which specific venues you research or subsequently visit.

15. Your Privacy Controls

You maintain several rights over your information:

• Data Access: Request a copy of personal data we maintain
• Error Correction: Ask us to fix inaccurate information
• Data Removal: Request deletion of your personal records
• Marketing Preferences: Unsubscribe from promotional messages
• Cookie Management: Adjust browser settings to limit tracking

Account holders can modify their profile details anytime. To close your account entirely, contact our support team.

16. Age Requirements

Our content focuses on gambling establishments restricted to adult patrons. We do not intentionally collect data from anyone under eighteen years of age. Minors should not create accounts or transmit personal information through our platform.

For betting and casino-related content and offers, users must be 21 years of age or older and located in jurisdictions where such activities are legal.
