Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how ruibetencourt.com collects, uses, stores, and protects personal and technical information when you visit our website. We are committed to handling data responsibly and transparently. The site provides editorial comparisons and affiliate links related to online casinos, and this policy applies to all users who browse our pages, click links, or contact us by email. By using this site, you acknowledge this policy and agree to the data practices described below.
We intentionally limit data collection. In most cases, we process non-identifying technical data such as browser type, device category, approximate region, language preferences, referral source, on-page interaction events, and anonymized session metrics. This helps us improve content quality, page speed, mobile usability, and internal security. We do not ask for casino login credentials, payment card details, or gambling account balances. We do not provide payment processing services and we do not hold player funds.
When you contact us by email, we process the information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address, message content, and any attachments you include. We use this information to respond to your request, maintain communication records, and protect the site from abuse. Please avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive personal information in your messages. If you send account-specific complaints about a casino, we may direct you to the relevant operator support team because we cannot access or modify operator account data.
Some data is collected through local browser storage and cookie technologies. This includes consent choices, basic interface preferences, and anonymized performance signals that help us evaluate site reliability. Essential storage may be required for core functionality such as consent tracking and age-gate state. Non-essential analytics processing is only used in line with your consent preferences where applicable. You may adjust these settings by using available controls on the site or your browser privacy tools.
Our pages contain links to third-party casino operators and service providers. When you click an external link, you leave our domain and become subject to the privacy policy and terms of the destination site. Those third parties may collect personal data under their own legal basis, including account registration details, verification documents, payment method information, and transaction history. We do not control their processing practices and recommend reviewing each operator policy before submitting personal information.
We rely on legitimate business interests, consent, and legal obligations as appropriate legal bases for processing. Legitimate interests include maintaining a secure service, understanding content performance, preventing fraud, and keeping editorial pages useful. Where consent is required for specific tracking or storage technologies, you can accept or reject non-essential processing through consent tools. We may also process data where necessary to comply with legal requests, enforce terms, investigate abuse, or defend legal claims.
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to reduce unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data. Measures may include access controls, limited retention windows, secure transport practices, and periodic review of operational logs. No online system can guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to reduce risk exposure and respond to suspicious activity quickly. If a material security incident occurs, we will take steps required by applicable law, including notifications where necessary.
Data retention is limited to what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Technical logs are retained for operational monitoring and security review for a reasonable period, then deleted or anonymized. Contact records are kept only as long as needed to manage communications, resolve requests, and meet legal obligations. We review stored data periodically and remove information that is no longer required. Retention periods may be extended where legal or dispute-related obligations apply.
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, and withdrawal of consent. To submit a request, contact us via email and provide sufficient detail for verification. We may ask for additional information to confirm identity before fulfilling certain requests. If you believe your rights were not handled properly, you may be entitled to file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
Our services are intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If we learn that information from a minor has been provided, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal developments, operational changes, or improvements in our compliance practices. The revised version becomes effective when published on this page. Continued use of the website after publication constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your data rights, contact info@ruibetencourt.com. We review all legitimate requests and respond within a reasonable period in line with applicable law.
