Privacy Policy — Miratesearch.org

Effective date:7 September 2025

Miraresearch (“we,” “us,” “our”) is an online casino review and comparison website. We do not operate real‑money gambling services. We publish editorial content, links and promotional offers from third‑party operators and affiliate programs. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you visit Miratesearch.org, use our newsletters, tools, or any other Services that link to this notice (collectively, the “Services”).

If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Services.

Quick Summary (TL;DR)

We collect limited personal data such as contact details (if you subscribe or contact us), device/usage data, cookie IDs, and affiliate tracking identifiers when you click outbound links.
We use data for site operations, analytics, fraud prevention, content personalization, consent‑based advertising (where applicable), and to send newsletters when you opt in.
We do not sell your personal information for money. In some jurisdictions, using advertising cookies or sharing identifiers with ad/affiliate partners may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising—opt‑out options are provided below.
You have privacy rights depending on your location (EEA/UK, California and other U.S. states, Canada, etc.). See Your Privacy Rights.

Scope & Audience (Age Restricted)

Our Services are intended for adults interested in gambling information. You must be at least 18 (or 21 where required by law) to use the Services. We do not knowingly collect data from minors; if you believe a minor has provided data, contact us to delete it.

Information We Collect

a) Information you provide

Contact details (e.g., name, email) — when you subscribe to newsletters, request offers/alerts, use contact forms, or enter giveaways.
Content you submit — comments, reviews, support requests, survey responses.
Marketing preferences — consents, opt‑ins/opt‑outs.

b) Information collected automatically

Device & usage data — IP address (and approximate location), device type, OS, browser, language, time zone, referral URL, pages viewed, clicks, session duration.
Cookies & similar technologies — including advertising and analytics identifiers, pixel tags, local storage, and affiliate tracking parameters (e.g., click IDs, campaign IDs, subIDs).
Approximate location — derived from IP for content relevance and compliance.

c) Information from third parties

Analytics & measurement partners (e.g., web analytics tools).
Advertising and affiliate networks — we may receive conversion data (e.g., a click resulted in a sign‑up) to calculate commission; we do not receive your account/KYC details from operators.
Anti‑fraud services, CAPTCHA providers — to combat spam and abuse.
Social media platforms — if you interact with our pages or share content.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless explicitly provided by you and necessary for a stated purpose (and then only with your consent or as permitted by law).

Cookies, Tracking & Advertisinga) How we use cookies

We use:

Strictly necessary cookies (security, load balancing, consent storage).
Performance/analytics cookies (traffic stats, page performance).
Functional cookies (remember choices).
Advertising cookies (ad delivery, capping, campaign measurement) — only with consent where required by law.
Affiliate tracking cookies/parameters to record that you came from our site.

b) Managing your choices

Consent banner/Privacy Settings: [Link or describe “Manage Cookies” / “Privacy Settings” button].
Browser settings: You can block or delete cookies via your browser.
Advertising opt‑outs: Industry tools (e.g., YourAdChoices / YourOnlineChoices) and device‑level ad ID settings.

c) Do Not Track

Some browsers send a DNT signal. We do not respond to DNT, but we respect consent/opt‑out mechanisms described here and applicable laws.

Affiliate Links & Third‑Party Sites

Our content includes outbound links to third‑party casino operators and affiliate programs. When you click these links, third parties may set cookies or read identifiers to track referrals, provide offers, or deliver ads. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read those policies before registering or depositing with any operator.

Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, least‑privilege, logging). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Typical ranges:

Web server logs: ~[30–180] days unless needed longer for security.
Analytics data: ~[14–26] months (configurable).
Newsletter records: until you unsubscribe + limited period for proof of consent.
Affiliate tracking data: per partner program rules (often 30–90 days), or as contractually required.

Newsletters & Marketing

With your consent (where required), we send newsletters, bonus alerts, and promotions. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in each email or by contacting us. We may track open/click rates to improve content.

User‑Generated Content

If you post comments or reviews, the content may be public. Please avoid sharing personal information in public fields.

Automated Decision‑Making

We do not use automated decision‑making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you. We may use non‑sensitive profiling (e.g., page interests) to personalize content or measure advertising.

Responsible Gambling & Jurisdiction

We provide information only. Gambling involves risk; please play responsibly and follow local laws. Availability of offers may vary by country/state and operator rules.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be notified via the Services or email (if appropriate). Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Policy.
