If you create a business account or claim a business listing, we may collect business details such as business name, website URL, logo, contact information, category, description, support details, and verification information.

We may also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring website, usage activity, cookies, login records, and security logs.

When you submit a review, rating, comment, or other public content, that information may be visible on RateMyCasino. Public review information may include your display name, rating, review text, review date, and the business or gambling site being reviewed.

You should not include sensitive personal information, passwords, account numbers, financial details, identity documents, private messages, or other confidential information in public reviews.

5. Business Listings and Responses

Business profiles, business descriptions, logos, categories, website links, and business responses to reviews may be displayed publicly on RateMyCasino.

If a business responds to a review, that response may be visible to users. Businesses should not publish private customer information, financial details, identification documents, or confidential account information in public responses.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

RateMyCasino may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, support login sessions, analyse traffic, improve website performance, protect against abuse, and understand how users interact with the platform.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

7. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable, we process personal information based on lawful reasons such as your consent, the performance of a service you request, compliance with legal obligations, protection of platform security, and our legitimate interests in operating a trusted review platform.

Our legitimate interests may include maintaining review integrity, preventing fake reviews, protecting users and businesses, improving our website, managing business listings, responding to enquiries, and keeping RateMyCasino secure.

8. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate RateMyCasino, such as hosting providers, email providers, analytics tools, security services, payment processors, technical support providers, and other platform service providers.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, regulatory request, fraud prevention, platform security, dispute resolution, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of RateMyCasino, our users, businesses, or the public.

9. Third-Party Websites

RateMyCasino may contain links to third-party websites, including online casinos, poker sites, sportsbooks, bingo sites, lottery platforms, affiliate programs, payment services, and external resources.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, online service, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for keeping their account login details safe and should not share passwords with anyone.

11. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including account management, review integrity, website security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and business record keeping.

Some review-related information may be retained where necessary to protect platform integrity, investigate misuse, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to access your information, request correction, request deletion, restrict processing, object to processing, request data portability, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
