Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Pro Slot Games (“Pro Slot Games,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the publisher of the gaming publication at proslotgames.com (the “Site”), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit or interact with the Site. We are committed to handling your data transparently and in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (together, “CCPA”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Who We Are
Pro Slot Games is an independent multi-vertical gaming publication covering video games, mobile games, tabletop and board games, card games and trading card games, esports, the gaming industry, and gaming culture. We are the data controller for personal information processed through this Site. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, contact us at privacy@proslotgames.com.
Information We Collect
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible to run an editorial website. The categories we may process are:
- Information you provide directly. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you email us, submit a correction, pitch a story, or contact our advertising team, we receive the details you send, including your name and email address.
- Usage and analytics data. We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which articles and sections are read, how visitors arrive, and how the Site performs. This may include your approximate location (derived from IP address), device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring website. Where required, this processing depends on your consent.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and selected third parties use cookies and similar identifiers as described in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies are set only with your consent.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 16, and we do not build behavioural profiles for sensitive purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We process personal data to operate and improve the Site, deliver the newsletter you requested, respond to your enquiries and corrections, measure and analyse audience engagement, serve and measure advertising where applicable, protect the Site against fraud and abuse, and comply with our legal obligations. Under GDPR our legal bases are your consent (for the newsletter, non-essential cookies, and analytics where consent is required), our legitimate interests in running and securing an editorial business, and compliance with legal obligations.
Third Parties Who May Receive Data
We share personal data only with service providers who help us run the Site, and only for the purposes described above. These may include an analytics provider, an email delivery provider for the newsletter, our hosting and content-delivery infrastructure providers, and advertising partners who help fund independent journalism. We require these partners to handle data responsibly and in line with applicable law. We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising and analytics activity may qualify as “sharing” or a “sale” under CCPA; you can opt out as described below. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.
International Transfers
Because Pro Slot Games operates with a distributed global team and uses international service providers, your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, as permitted under applicable law.
How Long We Keep Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward. Analytics data is retained in line with our provider’s standard retention settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you; to correct inaccurate data; to request deletion; to restrict or object to processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time. California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, without discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise any right, email privacy@proslotgames.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by law. You may also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in each email, and you can manage cookie choices through the consent controls on the Site. If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard the limited information we hold.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, where appropriate, notify you. Please review this page periodically. For any privacy question, contact privacy@proslotgames.com.
