Privacy Policy
The Casino Observer takes many steps to ensure your privacy and protect your confidential information. We have outlined our privacy policy below which includes information on how the Casino Observer collects and treats any personal data we collect such as your name, email address, phone number and home address, as well as information regarding your previous use of any of our products or services. The following policy applies only to information collected while using products or services offered by sites within the Casino Observer Network. It does not apply to any external companies, websites or employees.
Collection of Information
As soon as you register with the Casino Observer, use any of our products or services, enter current sweepstakes or promotions or visit any pages of our site or of partners, the Casino Observer will gather personal information. We may combine our data with information gathered from external companies or business partners. During registration with our site, you will be asked to provide your name, email address, date of birth, gender, address, occupation, industry and personal interests. Therefore, you will no longer remain anonymous once you have registered and signed up to use any services the Casino Observer offers.
We will also gather information about any of your transactions with our site, as well as with certain business partners. The Casino Observer will also receive and record your browser information such as your IP address, cookies and requested pages to our server logs. We will use this information in order to improve the services we offer, provide you with customized content and advertising to suit your needs, offer you requested products and services, compile research, contact you and provide internal and external clients with anonymous statistics.
*Please note that children younger than 13 are not permitted to register with the Casino Observer given the nature of the services we provide.
Sharing & Disclosure of Information
The Casino Observer agrees not to rent, sell or share any of your personal information with external individuals or companies not affiliated with our site, unless we have obtained your prior consent or in the following circumstances:
- To provide you with requested products or services.
- To provide information to trusted partners working with the Casino Observer who must adhere to our strict confidentiality agreements. They may use your collected personal data to help us advise you about offers made by our site or any of our marketing partners, but they may not share this information.
- To defend against any legal claims, exercise our legal rights or abide by any court orders, legal process or subpoenas.
- To prevent, investigate or act upon any suspected fraud, illegal activities, violations of our terms of use or situations that may threaten the physical safety of any individual.
- To transfer your personal information in the event that the Casino Observer is taken over by or merges with another company. We will notify you of this before we transfer any of your data that will become subject to another company’s privacy policy.
- To provide you with targeted online advertisements to suit your needs. For example, ad serving companies or advertisers may assume that any individuals who view or click on targeted ads meet certain criteria such as females from a certain age bracket or geographic region. Although the Casino Observer will not provide the advertiser with any of your personal information when you view or click a targeted ad, the advertiser may assume you meet any specific targeting criteria when you do so. Our advertisers span a wide range of companies including online stores, casinos and travel services.
Our Use of Cookies
The Casino Observer has the right to establish and access cookies on your computer. We also enable external companies that include advertisements on our site’s pages to set and access cookies on your computer. Their use of cookies is subject to their particular privacy policy, not the one outlined by the Casino Observer. External companies and advertisers are not permitted access to the cookies obtained by the Casino Observer. We also utilize web beacons in order to access Casino Observer cookies within our internal and external network of websites and in connection with any products and services we offer.
Changing Account Preferences or Information
You have the right to change any of your Casino Observer account information and your communication preferences at any time. We may add new categories of communication preferences, and users may choose not to receive future communications from any of these new categories or to unsubscribe according to the instructions in messages they will receive.
Administrative messages and service announcements from the Casino Observer are part of your membership. Therefore, you can not choose not to receive them if your account with our site remains active. However, you may request deletion or deactivation of your existing account at any time. We reserve the right to retain information regarding these past accounts in our archives.
Protecting Your Security & Confidentiality
The Casino Observer will limit access to your personal information to employees who we feel must obtain such information in order to perform their job duties or provide you with requested products or services.
We employ many procedural, electronic and physical safeguards that meet federal regulations to ensure your personal information remains private and secure. We password protect your Casino Observer account information, and use industry-standard SSL encryption on certain parts of our site to protect the transmission of your confidential or personal data.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
The Casino Observer reserves the right to update this privacy policy at any time. We will advise you about any major changes in the manner in which we treat your personal information by posting a prominent notice on our website, or by sending a notice to the email address you provided when you signed up for a Casino Observer account.
