Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to every visitor to the Yeti casino review site, including those who simply browse the published reviews and those who actively get in touch with the editorial team; it does not apply to any external casino, betting operator, or other third-party website that a reader might reach from this one. The policy below sets out what information is gathered, why it is processed, and the choices available to anyone who uses the site.
Information you supply
Most of the site can be read without providing anything at all. Certain interactions, however, require you to share details voluntarily. When you contact the editorial team, submit feedback on a review, ask a question about a particular casino, or fill in any form on the site, the information you enter is transmitted to us. That typically includes a name or handle, an email address or other reply channel, and the content of your message itself. Anything else you choose to include in that communication is collected as well. You are never obliged to supply more than the minimum needed to respond, and you should avoid sending sensitive personal information through these channels unless it is genuinely necessary.
Data gathered automatically
Like most websites, this one records certain technical details in the background whenever a page is loaded. The information collected includes the IP address of the device making the request, the type of device and operating system in use, the browser version, the specific pages and URLs visited, the time spent on each page, click behaviour, and approximate session information. This data is gathered passively and is not something you actively submit. It exists to help us understand how readers move through the site, which reviews hold attention, and where pages may be underperforming. The same data also supports basic security checks, such as spotting repeated requests from a single source that might indicate automated scraping or abuse.
Why the data is used
Every piece of information collected serves a practical purpose connected to running this review site. Responses to your enquiries are drafted using the contact details you provided. Site operations are maintained through the technical data described above, which helps us keep pages loading reliably and fix faults when they appear. Content quality improves because usage patterns reveal which topics readers find useful and which sections are rarely visited. Performance monitoring relies on the same metrics to flag slow pages or broken elements. The data also supports internal reporting, allowing us to review traffic trends over time. Finally, the information helps make the website more relevant and accessible, for instance by identifying which browsers and devices our audience uses so that pages can be tested appropriately.
Cookies and similar storage
Small files and storage mechanisms are used to make the site behave predictably across visits. These fall into a few functional groups. Essential cookies keep core features working, such as remembering that you have dismissed a notice or maintaining session continuity while you move between pages. Preference-based storage records choices you have made, so that the site does not ask you the same question on every visit. Analytics tools collect aggregated information about how the site is used, which is then reviewed to measure the effectiveness of content and to assess whether recent improvements have had the desired effect. You can limit or block these technologies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect how smoothly the site functions.
Disclosure of information
Your information is not sold, rented, or traded to any third party. That is a firm boundary. Limited disclosure does occur, however, where it is necessary to operate the site. External service providers may process data on our behalf for hosting, infrastructure, communications, analytics, site maintenance, content moderation, or security purposes. These providers receive only the information needed to perform their specific task, and they are expected to use it solely for that purpose. Beyond those service arrangements, information may be disclosed where the law requires it or where disclosure is necessary to protect the site, its readers, or its operators from harm. This could include responding to a lawful request from an authority or defending against a security threat.
Transfers between countries
The internet does not respect national borders, and the service providers mentioned above may operate servers or staff in countries other than New Zealand. When information is processed in this way, it may be transferred across international boundaries. The safeguards applied to your data do not change simply because it is stored or handled in another jurisdiction. We select providers that maintain reasonable security practices, and we rely on those arrangements to keep the same level of protection in place regardless of where the processing occurs.
Security safeguards
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures are in place to reduce the chance of unauthorised access, alteration, or misuse of the information we hold. Access to collected data is restricted to those who need it for the purposes described in this policy. Despite these precautions, no method of online transmission or electronic storage is completely risk-free. Readers should understand that absolute security cannot be guaranteed, and they should exercise the same caution they would apply to any website.
Responsible gaming and user protection
Because this site reviews casino products, some collected data may be reviewed with player protection in mind. This includes attention to patterns that suggest misuse of casino-related content, unsafe interactions, or communications that indicate distress. The purpose is to support responsible gaming messaging, protect vulnerable users, and reduce harmful engagement with gambling-related material. If a message or usage pattern suggests a person may be struggling, the information may be used to tailor a response that points toward safer behaviour. This review of data is conducted proportionately and only where the protection purpose justifies it.
- Only share information you are comfortable providing to a review site.
- Do not include sensitive personal details in messages unless essential.
- Use browser settings to limit cookies if you prefer not to be tracked.
- Check the privacy policy of any external casino before visiting it.
- Contact the site if you want to know what data is held about you.
- Revisit this page periodically, as the policy may change.
Privacy rights
Visitors may request access to the personal information held about them, ask for corrections where the data is inaccurate, request deletion when the data is no longer needed, or limit certain uses of their information. These requests are handled on a case-by-case basis, and the applicable limits under law will be respected. To protect against unauthorised access, the site may request reasonable evidence to verify that the person making the request is the individual the data relates to. This verification step is standard practice and is not intended to delay legitimate requests. Once identity is confirmed, the request is processed within a reasonable time.
Retention of data
Information is not kept indefinitely. It is stored only for as long as it remains necessary for legitimate business purposes, compliance with legal requirements, security review, dispute handling, or administrative record keeping. The exact duration depends on the type of data and the reason it was collected. At the end of the relevant period, the data is either removed or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
External websites
Reviews on this site may mention or link to outside websites, including the casinos themselves and other gambling-related resources. Those destinations are entirely separate from this site and are governed by their own privacy policies. We do not assume responsibility for how external parties collect, use, or process information, and readers should review the relevant policy before providing any data to those sites.
Policy updates
This privacy policy may be revised at any time to reflect changes in how the site operates or to address new legal and technical developments. When an updated version is published on this page, continued use of the website after that publication indicates acceptance of the revised terms. Readers who object to any change should stop using the site and may contact us with any concerns.
Questions and contact
Any visitor with a privacy concern, a request relating to their personal data, or a question about how this policy is applied may contact the website through the available contact channels. The same channels can be used to raise a complaint about how information has been handled, and such complaints will be reviewed in line with the principles set out above.
