Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data this website ("Site", "we", "us") collects when you visit to read about Aviamasters or compare the casinos that distribute it, the reasons for collecting it, the legal basis for each type of processing, who may see it, how long we hold it, and the rights you have over it.
Using this Site constitutes acceptance of the practices described here. This Policy applies only to what happens on this Site. The moment you navigate to a casino platform, that operator’s own privacy policy governs from that point forward, and we have no influence over what it says or how it is applied.
We have written this Policy to communicate genuinely rather than to produce a document that looks compliant without saying anything useful. If anything here is unclear, the contact form on this Site is the right channel for questions.
// Data Controller
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data this website (“Site”, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit to read about Aviamasters or compare the casinos that distribute it, the reasons for collecting it, the legal basis for each type of processing, who may see it, how long we hold it, and the rights you have over it. The goal is to give you a complete and accurate picture of our data practices, not merely to satisfy a regulatory checklist.
Using this Site constitutes acceptance of the practices described here. A critical scope note: this Policy applies only to what happens on this Site. The moment you navigate to a casino platform, that operator’s own privacy policy governs from that point forward, and we have no influence over what it says or how it is applied.
The operator of this Site is the data controller for all personal data processed in connection with use of this Site. For any question, concern, or rights-related request, please use the contact form. We are committed to providing substantive responses within 30 calendar days.
// What We Collect
Data you provide directly. Using our contact form or subscribing to our newsletter requires providing your name, email address, and whatever message content you choose to include. We collect only what the form requires and do not ask for information beyond that.
Data collected automatically on every visit. Standard web infrastructure logs the following for every visitor:
- IP address and the general geographic region it maps to.
- Browser type, version, and operating system.
- Device category: desktop, tablet, or smartphone.
- Which Aviamasters articles and casino comparison pages you visit, and how long you spend on each.
- The referral source that brought you to the Site: a search engine result, an external link, or direct navigation.
- Date and time of each visit.
Most of this does not identify you individually. Taken together with other signals, however, some of it can qualify as personal data under applicable law, and we apply appropriate care to all of it regardless. We operate on a principle of data minimization: reading our Aviamasters content requires no account creation, and we do not request information beyond what a specific function genuinely requires.
One important clarification: we hold no data at all about your gambling activity at any casino. The affiliate tracking cookie records the fact that a click originated on this Site. What happens after you navigate to a casino – your Aviamasters sessions, counter outcomes, the effects of token interactions, your balance – is processed entirely on the casino’s systems and is not visible to us. Commission reports that eventually come back through affiliate networks record that a referral converted; they do not contain any personal data about you as an individual.
// How We Use This Data
- Keeping the Site technically functional and performant across different devices and browsers.
- Understanding which parts of our Aviamasters coverage – the counter mechanic, the token system breakdown, the automatic resolution explanation, the casino comparisons – readers find genuinely useful, so we can improve and expand the right content.
- Responding to contact form submissions.
- Delivering newsletter content to subscribers who have actively opted in to receive it.
- Identifying and limiting abusive, automated, or otherwise inappropriate use of the Site.
- Crediting affiliate referrals when a click from this Site leads to a qualifying casino registration and deposit.
- Meeting any legal or regulatory obligation that applies to us.
None of these uses involves automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant consequences for individual visitors. Our analytics work is conducted at an aggregate level across all visitors and never involves profiling any specific individual based on their browsing behavior.
// Legal Basis
Legitimate interest. Covers running, securing, and improving the Site, understanding aggregate reader engagement with our Aviamasters content, and detecting Site abuse.
Consent. Covers non-essential cookies and newsletter communications. You may withdraw consent for either at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing that occurred while consent was in place.
Contractual necessity. Covers responding to a contact form submission you have sent, which requires processing enough information to answer your inquiry.
Legal obligation. Covers anything that applicable law or a valid legal request specifically requires us to process.
We have assessed each type of processing against the legal basis most appropriate for it rather than applying consent across the board. Where legitimate interest is the applicable basis, we have also assessed that our interests do not override visitors’ reasonable data protection expectations. Every third-party data processor we engage is bound by a written data processing agreement requiring them to maintain protections at least equivalent to those described in this Policy and prohibiting them from using your data for their own unrelated purposes.
Newsletter Communications
Where you have subscribed to our newsletter, your email address is used exclusively for that purpose. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing, and we do not use purchased, rented, or otherwise externally sourced contact lists. Every newsletter we send includes a functional and clearly labeled unsubscribe mechanism that takes effect immediately. If we introduce a new type of outbound communication in future, we will request fresh consent for it specifically rather than treating existing newsletter consent as extending to cover new purposes.
// Cookies
This Site uses cookies for three distinct functions: maintaining technical Site operation, understanding aggregate reader engagement with our Aviamasters content, and tracking affiliate referrals to partner casinos. Cookies strictly necessary for Site functionality cannot be disabled without breaking the Site. Analytics cookies, primarily via Google Analytics, generate aggregated usage statistics that are not linked to identifiable individuals. Affiliate tracking cookies record a single click event and a timestamp when you follow a link to a partner casino; they do not track your activity on the casino’s platform. Full technical detail, a complete cookie inventory, and management options are in our Cookie Policy.
// Who Sees Your Data
We do not sell personal data to any party under any circumstances. We share data only in the following specifically defined situations:
- Analytics service providers such as Google Analytics, who process aggregated usage data on our behalf under their own data processing terms.
- Casino affiliate networks or casino operators, limited strictly to the click-attribution data needed to confirm commissions owed to us; these parties receive no personal data beyond the click event itself.
- Courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities where a valid legal order or obligation requires disclosure.
- A successor entity, in the event this Site is sold, merged, or otherwise transferred, under terms that require the successor to maintain the data protection standards described in this Policy.
Data Processing Agreements
In every case where we engage a third-party data processor, we do so under a formal data processing agreement that specifies the purposes for which data may be processed, the security measures required, and the obligation to notify us promptly of any security incident. We do not permit any processor to use your data for their own purposes beyond the specific scope we have authorized.
// International Data Transfers
Some of the service providers we work with, particularly analytics tools, are based outside your country of residence and may process data in other jurisdictions. Where this occurs, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the relevant regulatory authority, or an equivalent safeguard mechanism, to ensure that your data receives a level of protection consistent with applicable data protection law regardless of where processing physically takes place. We review these arrangements periodically rather than treating initial compliance assessments as indefinitely valid.
// Retention
- Analytics data collected via cookies: retained for up to 26 months in the standard Google Analytics configuration.
- Contact form submissions: retained for as long as the relevant inquiry remains active, then deleted, unless a legal obligation requires retention for a longer period.
- Newsletter subscriber email addresses: retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.
- Affiliate referral click data: retained only for as long as is necessary to confirm whether a commission is owed, typically no more than 90 days.
Once personal data has served the purpose for which it was collected and is no longer required for any legal purpose, we delete it securely or anonymize it to a standard that makes re-identification impossible. If you have shared personal information with us that has since become outdated, you can request a correction through the contact form.
Data Minimization
We actively apply data minimization principles: we collect only what each specific function genuinely requires, and we do not collect data on a speculative basis. No account is required to access any content on this Site. We do not cross-reference data from different sources to build behavioral profiles of individual visitors, and we do not deploy device fingerprinting techniques designed to track users across sessions when cookies have been cleared or blocked.
// Your Rights
Depending on the data protection law applicable in your jurisdiction, you may hold some or all of the following rights: the right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you; the right to have inaccurate data corrected; the right to have your data deleted where continued retention is no longer justified; the right to restrict how we process your data in certain circumstances; the right to receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format; and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or to withdraw consent for processing based on consent.
You do not need to justify invoking any of these rights; stating which right you wish to exercise is sufficient. Submit a request through the contact form. We will verify your identity and provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days, at no charge in the ordinary course. If you are located in the EU or UK and feel that your concern has not been adequately addressed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority; in the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office, accessible at ico.org.uk.
// Children and Minors
This Site is not directed at persons under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. Given the nature of the content – an independently resolved real-money game with a counter system that can move against the player – this is a genuine requirement rather than a procedural formality. If you have reason to believe that a person under 18 has submitted personal data through this Site, please contact us immediately and we will delete that data without undue delay.
// Security
On the technical security side, we apply reasonable and proportionate measures to protect personal data, including controls on who within our organization can access it. No internet transmission is completely risk-free, but once data enters our systems it is held under appropriate security arrangements. We do not deploy device fingerprinting techniques that would track you across sessions once you have cleared or blocked your cookies; our analytics rely on standard cookie-based identifiers that respect the preferences you have set. If you become aware of a security concern relating to data we may hold about you, please notify us immediately through the contact form.
// Links to Other Sites
This Privacy Policy governs only what happens on this Site. Casino platforms you reach through our links operate under their own separate privacy policies from the moment you arrive there, and we have no influence over what those policies say or how they are applied. We encourage you to review a casino’s privacy policy before sharing any personal or financial information with it.
// Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Policy from time to time as our data practices evolve or applicable law changes. The current version is always published here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Site following publication of a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

Any question, concern, or rights request relating to this Policy can be submitted through the contact form on this Site.
