Privacy Policy
How Affiliates Directory collects, uses and protects information across our affiliate directory, casino comparison tools, country filters and related services.
Affiliates Directory (“Affiliates Directory”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when you visit or use affiliates-directory.com and related pages, tools, directories, casino comparison content, forms and services.
This Website is an information and comparison service. It may contain affiliate links to third-party merchants, affiliate programs, casinos and other services. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies once you leave our Website.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
We may collect information you choose to provide through forms or communications, such as your name, email address, website or business details, company information, submission details, feedback and message content.
If you submit a website, affiliate program, listing or other content for review, we may process the information needed to evaluate, manage and display that submission.
Information collected automatically
When you use the Website, we and our service providers may collect technical and usage information such as IP address, approximate country or region, browser and device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, clicks, timestamps and session information.
Approximate country detection
We may use an IP address or similar signals to infer a visitor’s country so we can show country-relevant content such as casinos, payment methods, bonuses or legal-market information. This is approximate location processing and is not intended to determine a precise street address.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, local storage, pixels and similar technologies for essential functionality, security, analytics, preferences, performance measurement and, where permitted, marketing or affiliate attribution.
Affiliate and referral information
Some outbound links contain affiliate or referral identifiers. Destination providers or affiliate networks may receive the referring page, campaign identifier, timestamp, device/browser information and related attribution data. We may receive attribution or conversion information so commissions can be measured and reconciled.
2. How we use personal information
We may also use information to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or tax obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
3. Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss data-protection law or similar legislation applies, we process personal information under one or more lawful bases, including consent, performance of a contract or steps requested by you, compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving and monetising the Website in a proportionate manner.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
5. Third-party websites, casinos and affiliate partners
The Website contains links to third-party sites. Clicking an external link may allow that third party to collect data independently from us. We do not control the privacy practices, cookies, account systems, deposits, registrations or marketing activities of those third parties.
Our inclusion of a service, casino or affiliate program does not make us the controller of information you provide directly to that third party.
7. International data transfers
Some service providers or partners may process information outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, approved contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
8. Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including service provision, business and affiliate records, dispute resolution, security, accounting and legal obligations.
When information is no longer required, we may delete, aggregate or anonymise it, subject to technical backup cycles and legal retention requirements.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. No internet service or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to complain to a competent data-protection authority.
Residents of the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland and certain U.S. states may have additional rights, including rights to know what data is processed, request deletion or correction, and opt out of certain targeted advertising, sharing or profiling.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Where permitted, an authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf.
11. Automated processing and personalisation
We may automatically use technical information, such as an inferred country or page interactions, to tailor Website content and filters. This is intended to improve relevance and does not by itself make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
12. Children and gambling-related content
Affiliates Directory is not directed to children. Areas discussing gambling and online casinos are intended for adults of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information for the purpose of providing gambling-related services.
13. Responsible use of casino information
Casino availability, licensing and legal status can vary by country and can change. Country detection and directory filters are informational tools and are not legal advice. Before using a third-party gambling service, confirm that it is lawful and available in your jurisdiction and review the operator’s privacy, responsible-gambling and account-verification policies.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, partners or legal obligations change. The latest version will be posted on this page and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
15. Contact and privacy requests
To ask a privacy question or exercise a privacy right, please use the contact or feedback channels provided on Affiliates Directory and clearly state that your request concerns privacy or personal data.
