Privacy Policy
This Privacy and Data Protection Policy ("Policy") describes, completely and accurately, how this website (the "Site", "we", "us") collects, uses, stores, retains, and protects personal data generated by your use of it when you come here to read about Aviamasters or to compare the casino operators that distribute the game. It tells you what data we hold, why we hold it, the legal justification for each category of processing, who might receive it, how long we keep it, and the rights you can exercise. This document is the full record of our data practices, not a summary of them.
rn
rnAccessing and using this Site means you accept the practices described in this Policy. This Policy applies to this Site only. From the moment you navigate to a casino platform via a link on this Site, that casino's own privacy policy takes over from ours. We have no authority over those policies, no visibility into what casino operators do with your personal data after you leave this Site, and no ability to influence their data practices. We encourage you to review a casino's privacy policy before entering any personal or financial information on their platform.
rn
rnWe have written this Policy to be genuinely informative rather than to satisfy a formal requirement in the minimum way. Everything that matters about our data practices is explained here. Use the contact form if anything needs further clarification. A rights request does not require you to provide a reason – naming the right you want to invoke is the only information needed to begin.
// Contents
// Data Controller
The entity that operates this Site is the data controller for all personal data processed in connection with your use of it. The data controller is the party that determines what data is collected and for what purposes. All questions, concerns, and formal data rights requests should be directed to us via the contact form. We commit to substantive, useful responses within 30 calendar days.
// Personal Data We Collect
Data submitted directly. A contact form submission or newsletter signup requires a name, email address, and any message content you choose to include. We ask for nothing beyond what each specific function requires.
Data generated automatically on every visit. Standard server-side infrastructure records the following for every visitor:
- The IP address of the device connecting to this Site and the general geographic region that IP address maps to.
- Browser type and version, and the operating system of the connecting device.
- Device category (desktop, tablet, or smartphone).
- Which Aviamasters editorial content and casino comparison pages are accessed, and the time spent on each.
- The referral source: a search engine, an external link, or direct navigation.
- Date and time of each access.
This automatically collected data does not identify you as a named individual on its own. In combination with other information, parts of it can qualify as personal data under applicable law, and we treat all of it with the same care accordingly. A data minimization principle applies throughout our operations: you do not need an account to read any content on this Site, and we never ask for more personal data than a specific function genuinely requires.
We want to be explicit about what we do not hold: no data about your gambling activity at any casino. The affiliate tracking cookie records a single click event when you navigate from this Site to a partner casino. What happens after that click – your Aviamasters sessions, the token sequences that resolved your rounds, the counter values, your account balance – is processed on the casino’s own infrastructure and is not visible to or accessible by us in any form. Commission reports that eventually reach us from affiliate networks confirm only whether a referral converted; they contain no personal data about you individually. There is no live or ongoing data feed between this Site and any casino platform.
Because Aviamasters resolves rounds automatically with no player cashout action, there is additionally no cashout event we could observe or record even if we wanted to. The counter system runs entirely on casino infrastructure. Our data visibility ends at the click that the affiliate tracking cookie records.
// Purposes for Which We Use This Data
- Maintaining the Site in a technically functional and performant state across devices, browsers, and connection types.
- Understanding, at the aggregate level across all visitors, which Aviamasters content generates the most genuine engagement so that we can prioritize improvements to the most useful material.
- Responding to contact form messages submitted to us.
- Delivering newsletter content to subscribers who have opted in to receive it.
- Detecting and limiting patterns of abusive, fraudulent, or automated use of this Site.
- Attributing affiliate referral credit when a qualifying click from this Site leads to a casino registration and deposit within the attribution window.
- Meeting any legal obligation that applies to us under relevant law.
None of these purposes involves automated decision-making that produces legal effects or other effects of comparable significance for any individual visitor. We do not build or maintain behavioral profiles of individual visitors based on their activity on this Site. All analysis of engagement data is conducted at the aggregate level only.
// Legal Basis for Processing
Legitimate interests. Running, securing, and improving this Site, and understanding at an aggregate level how readers engage with Aviamasters content. We have assessed that our interests in these activities are proportionate and do not override the reasonable data protection expectations of our visitors.
Consent. Non-essential cookies and newsletter communications. Consent in both cases is freely given and may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Contractual performance. Responding to contact form messages that you have actively sent to us.
Legal obligation. Any processing specifically required by applicable law or a valid legal order.
We have matched each processing activity to the most appropriate legal basis rather than applying consent as a universal justification. Every third-party data processor we work with is bound by a written data processing agreement that specifies the permitted scope of processing, requires security protections at least as strong as those described in this Policy, and explicitly prohibits the processor from using the data for any of its own purposes. We review these processor relationships on a rolling basis.
// Newsletter
Where you have subscribed to the newsletter, your email address is used only for that newsletter. We do not make it available to third parties for their own marketing purposes and do not use contact lists sourced from outside this Site. Every newsletter includes a clearly labeled unsubscribe mechanism that takes effect immediately. Any future newsletter category not covered by your initial subscription will require its own fresh consent before we send it.
// Cookies
This Site uses cookies for three purposes: maintaining the technical functions essential to Site operation; measuring aggregate reader engagement with Aviamasters content; and tracking affiliate referrals when visitors navigate from this Site to partner casino platforms. Necessary cookies operate at all times and cannot be disabled because the Site depends on them. Analytics cookies operated by Google Analytics generate only aggregate statistical output and are not linked to individually identifiable visitors. Affiliate tracking cookies record a click event and a timestamp at the moment you navigate to a partner casino; they capture nothing about your activity on that casino’s platform. Complete technical detail and management instructions are in our Cookie Policy.
// Sharing Personal Data
We do not sell personal data in any form. Sharing of personal data occurs only in the following specifically defined circumstances:
- Analytics service providers (primarily Google Analytics) who process aggregated usage data on our behalf under their own data processing terms with us.
- Casino affiliate networks and partner operators, who receive only the minimum click-attribution data necessary to verify commission eligibility; no personal data identifying you as an individual is included in these transfers.
- Courts, regulatory authorities, or law enforcement agencies where disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
- Any successor entity in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of this Site, on terms that require the successor to honor the standards described in this Policy.
Every organization that receives data from us under these categories is bound by agreement to use that data only for the authorized purpose and to maintain appropriate security. We require notification of any security incident involving data we have transferred and review all data sharing relationships periodically.
// International Transfers
Some of the service providers we use, in particular analytics platforms, are headquartered outside your country and may process data in jurisdictions other than your own. When this occurs, we ensure that the transfer is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the relevant supervisory authority, or by an equivalent lawful mechanism, to provide adequate protection for your data regardless of where it is processed. We review these international transfer arrangements on a periodic basis.
// Retention Periods
- Analytics data collected via cookies: up to 26 months in the standard Google Analytics configuration.
- Contact form submissions: retained for as long as the related inquiry remains open, then deleted unless a legal obligation requires us to retain it for a longer period.
- Newsletter subscriber data: retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
- Affiliate referral click data: retained only for as long as necessary to verify whether a commission is owed, typically no more than 90 days.
When data has served the purpose for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation prevents deletion, we delete it or anonymize it to a standard that makes re-identification genuinely impossible. If data you have shared with us is outdated or inaccurate, a correction request through the contact form will be acted on promptly.
// Security
We collect only the data each specific function requires, without exception. No visitor account is necessary to access any content on this Site. We do not aggregate data from different sources to construct behavioral profiles of individual visitors and do not use device fingerprinting to track users across sessions after cookies have been deleted. Appropriate technical and organizational security measures are in place, including access controls that limit which individuals within our operations can access personal data. If you become aware of any security concern relating to data we may hold about you, please contact us immediately through the contact form.
// Your Rights
Subject to applicable data protection law, you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion where continued retention is no longer justified; restrict processing in certain circumstances; receive your data in portable machine-readable format; object to or withdraw consent for certain processing activities. You do not need to provide reasons to exercise any of these rights. Submit a request through the contact form identifying which right you want to invoke. We confirm receipt, verify your identity where necessary, and respond within 30 calendar days, generally at no cost. EU and UK residents who remain unsatisfied after our response may escalate to their national supervisory authority; in the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
// Minors
This Site does not target anyone under 18 years of age. Aviamasters involves real-money gambling with an automatic counter resolution system and no cashout option; the content here is adult in substance, not merely restricted by convention. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you have reason to believe that a minor has submitted personal data through this Site, please contact us and we will delete that data without delay.
// Links to Casino Platforms
This Policy applies to this Site exclusively. From the moment you navigate to a casino platform, that platform’s own privacy policy governs the handling of any data you provide there. We recommend reviewing a casino’s privacy policy before entering payment details or any other sensitive information.
// Updates
We may update this Policy as our practices evolve, as technology changes, or as applicable law requires. The current version is always published on this page with a new effective date. Where an update involves a significant change in how we process personal data, we will make that change visible in the body of the updated Policy document. Continued use of this Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
// Contact
All privacy questions, concerns, and formal rights requests should be submitted through the contact form on this Site.
