**Key facts:**
- We do not ask you to create an account and we do not sell personal information.
- When you click a link to an operator, we record the click with a hashed IP address, not the address itself.
- Messages you send us are used only to answer you and to correct pages.
- You can ask us what information we hold about you by emailing info@onlinepokiess.org.

## What information do we collect?

**When you browse the site**, our web server records standard technical information, such as the pages requested, the time and the browser type, to keep the site running and secure.

**When you click a link to an operator** (links starting with /casino/ or /go/), we record the click: a click ID, the time, the operator, the page and position of the link, the referring website, the device type (desktop, mobile or tablet), campaign tags in the address, whether the visit looks automated, and a one-way hash of your IP address. We do not store the IP address itself.

**When you email us**, we receive your email address and whatever you write.

## Why do we collect it?

- To run and secure the site.

- To count clicks on operator links and match commission paid by operators to the right page, as explained in our [affiliate disclosure](https://onlinepokiess.org/affiliate-disclosure).

- To answer your messages and correct pages.

## Who do we share it with?

When you click a link to an operator, the click ID is passed to that operator's affiliate system so the commission can be matched. We do not pass your name, email or IP address. We use hosting and technical service providers who process data on our behalf. We do not sell personal information.

## How long do we keep it?

Click records are kept for as long as we need them to reconcile commission and measure the site. Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with your message.

## Cookies

Our [cookie policy](https://onlinepokiess.org/cookies) explains which cookies may be used and how to control them.

## Your choices and contact

You can ask what information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing info@onlinepokiess.org.

## Frequently asked questions

**Do you sell my data?**
No. We do not sell personal information.

**What happens when I click a link to an operator?**
We record the click: a click ID, the time, the operator, the page and placement, the referring site, device type, campaign tags and a one-way hash of your IP address. The click ID is passed to the operator so commission can be matched to the click.
