Cookies and similar tracking technologies : We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information. This is detailed further in the "Cookies and Tracking Technologies" section below.

Information from third parties

We generally do not collect personal information from third parties. If we do receive information about you from a third party in the future (for example, through a social media platform if you interact with us there), we will protect it as set out in this Privacy Policy.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including :

To provide, operate, and maintain our Site and Services.
To improve, personalize, and expand our Site and Services, understanding how users interact with our content.
To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Site, and for informational purposes (such as newsletters, if you have opted-in).
For analytics and research purposes, to understand trends and user engagement with our content.
To enhance the security of our Site, including detecting and preventing spam, fraud, and unauthorized access.

Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small files containing a string of characters that are sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for several purposes :

Essential cookies : These are necessary for the Site to function correctly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences.
Performance and analytics Cookies : These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
Functional Cookies : These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. For instance, if you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will typically last for one year.
Managing Cookies : Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. You can find more information about how to manage cookies on popular browsers on their respective help pages or at http://www.aboutcookies.org.
Third-Party Cookies : Some content or applications on the Site may be served by third-parties, including analytics companies and content providers (like embedded video players). These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website.

Analytics

To improve user experience and monitor visitor statistics, Gambly Games uses third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics. These services help us understand how users engage with our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. Google Analytics may also collect demographic information like age, gender, and interests through the Google Analytics cookie or the DoubleClick cookie, if available. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this Site and our Services.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites.

Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share or disclose your information in the following limited circumstances :

With service providers : We may share your information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, email delivery, spam detection services, and analytics. These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us.

Legal requirements : We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend the rights or property of Gambly Games, prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services, protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or protect against legal liability.
Aggregated or Anonymized Data : We may share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you with third parties for research, marketing, analytics, or other purposes.

Data retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, or as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Comments : Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely for moderation purposes.
Analytics Data : Analytics data retention is governed by our analytics providers' policies (e.g., Google Analytics).
Contact information : Information for newsletters or direct contact is kept until you unsubscribe, request deletion, or the service is fulfilled.

Your data protection rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including :

Access : Request copies of your personal data.
Rectification : Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) : Request deletion of your personal data, under certain conditions.
Restrict processing : Request limits on how we use your personal data, under certain conditions.

Data security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures (e.g., SSL encryption, secure hosting) to protect your personal information. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date and will be effective upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
