1. Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how GameTree Online (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit gametreeonline.com (the “Site”). You can contact us via our About page.
2. What we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymised hash of your email may be shared with Gravatar to display your avatar.
- Cookies: If you comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email and website in cookies for one year. Login cookies are used by administrators only.
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Site. GA4 collects information including IP address, device identifiers, pages viewed and session data. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Advertising: We display ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
- Embedded content: Articles may include embedded content (videos, social posts). Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other site and may set cookies and track your interaction.
3. Affiliate links and sponsored content
Some articles on this Site — particularly in our iGaming, casino and sports betting sections — contain affiliate links. If you click a link and sign up with the operator, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not influence our editorial coverage. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in accordance with Google’s guidelines. For content covering gambling services, you must be 18+ and in a jurisdiction where online gambling is legal.
4. How we use your data
We use the information we collect to operate the Site, serve advertising, understand audience behaviour, respond to comments and prevent abuse. We do not sell personal data.
5. How long we keep data
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit or delete your personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username). Site administrators can also see and edit that information.
6. Your rights
If you have an account on this Site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (this does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes). Residents of the EU, UK and California have additional rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA respectively.
7. Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service. Analytics and advertising data is processed by Google in accordance with their policies.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
