PlinkoNet ("PlinkoNet", "we", "us" or "our") operates the website at plinkonet.com, an independent, informational resource that reviews Plinko games and the online casinos that offer them. The site is published by PlinkoNet Media Ltd, the data controller responsible for your personal data as described in this policy. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, you can reach us at [email protected].
PlinkoNet is a content and comparison website only. We are not a gambling operator: we do not accept deposits, hold player funds, or accept or settle bets. When you choose to play, you do so on a third-party casino that is solely responsible for its own handling of your data.
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. The information we process falls into the following categories:
We do not knowingly collect financial account details, and we do not ask you to register an account to read our content.
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
Our legal bases for processing (where the GDPR applies) are your consent (for non-essential cookies and analytics), our legitimate interests in running and improving a secure website, and, where relevant, compliance with a legal obligation.
PlinkoNet is reader-supported and monetised through affiliate partnerships. Some links to casinos and game providers on our site are affiliate links: if you click one and later register or play, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This never influences our editorial ratings, and it does not give us access to your account or gameplay data.
When you click an affiliate link, you leave PlinkoNet and enter a third-party website. From that point, the operator becomes an independent data controller and processes your personal data under its own privacy policy and terms — we have no control over, and are not responsible for, their data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any casino before you register or deposit.
We also rely on trusted third-party service providers to run the site, such as analytics platforms, content-delivery networks and hosting providers. These providers may process technical data on our behalf and are contractually required to safeguard it. Where data is transferred outside your country or region, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection through recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use them for a few distinct purposes:
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can withdraw consent to non-essential cookies at any time. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. For more detail on the categories in use, most browsers let you view the cookies stored for a given site.
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Aggregated analytics data may be retained for statistical purposes for a limited period, while correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal data. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, under the GDPR / UK GDPR you have the right to:
If you are a California resident, under the CCPA you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used and shared, the right to request deletion of your personal information, the right to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (PlinkoNet does not sell your personal information), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Our content is intended strictly for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
If you have questions, concerns or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact the data controller, PlinkoNet Media Ltd, at [email protected].
