Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SlotMap (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data of visitors to slotmap.space. It complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, the Italian Privacy Code (D.Lgs. 196/2003 as amended), and other applicable privacy frameworks.

For privacy questions or to exercise rights described below, contact us at privacy [at] slotmap [punto] space.

1. Data Controller

The data controller for personal data processed through this website is Giovanni Picaro, founder and Editor-in-Chief of SlotMap, with operational base in Sofia, Bulgaria. Registered legal correspondence address available on request via the privacy contact address. For all GDPR-related correspondence, please use privacy [at] slotmap [punto] space.

2. What personal data we collect

We collect the minimum personal data necessary to operate the site:

Data Type	When Collected	Purpose
IP address, browser, device, OS, pages visited, referrer	Every visit (server logs)	Site operation, security, abuse prevention, jurisdiction-compliance enforcement
Cookie identifiers	When cookies are accepted (see Cookie Policy)	Site functionality, analytics, advertising
Email address, name (optional)	When you contact us, comment, or subscribe	Communication, comment management, newsletter delivery
Comment content	When you post a comment	Community discussion, moderation
Approximate geolocation (from IP)	Every visit	Compliance with restricted-jurisdiction policy (see Age Verification & Jurisdictions)

3. Legal bases for processing

Under GDPR Article 6, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interest — for server logs, security monitoring, abuse prevention, basic site operation, and jurisdiction-compliance enforcement.
Consent — for non-essential cookies, advertising personalization, and email newsletters.
Contract performance — if you enter a paid commercial relationship with us (sponsorship, affiliate partnership), processing of your business contact information is necessary.
Legal obligation — for accounting records, DMCA documentation, AML and KYC obligations applicable to commercial partners.

4. Third parties with whom we share data

We do not sell your personal data. We do share specific data with the following service providers, each governed by its own privacy policy:

Hosting provider — Hosting.com (United States). Server logs and the underlying database are stored on Hosting.com infrastructure.
Content delivery network and security — Cloudflare (United States). Cloudflare processes traffic for performance and DDoS protection. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Analytics — Google Analytics (Google LLC, United States) when enabled, for aggregated traffic analysis. IP addresses are anonymized where technically feasible. See Google’s privacy policy.
Advertising — Adsterra (run by Geozo Ltd, EU-based). Adsterra serves the advertising on this site and uses cookies and similar technologies to measure ad performance. See Adsterra’s privacy policy. We do not use Google AdSense; AdSense’s program policies do not permit gambling-related content, so we route all advertising through Adsterra.
Casino affiliate networks — where we participate in affiliate programs (Income Access, NetRefer, Affilka, MyAffiliates, and direct programs with licensed operators), tracking cookies may be set by the affiliate network or operator when an affiliate link is clicked. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Email and contact handling — Google Workspace (United States) for inbound email delivery and team communication.

Where a third-party service provider is based outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards under GDPR Article 46.

5. International data transfers

Some service providers process data outside the EEA, primarily in the United States. We rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable, on standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, or on equivalent safeguards. Copies of safeguards are available on request to privacy [at] slotmap [punto] space.

6. Data retention

Server access logs: up to 12 months for security and operational purposes.
Cookie identifiers: as set out in the Cookie Policy, typically up to 13 months for analytics and advertising.
Email correspondence: kept for as long as the conversation is operationally relevant; typical retention 24 months.
Comments: kept indefinitely as part of the published site, unless you request removal.
Newsletter subscribers: kept until unsubscription.
DMCA records: at least seven years from the date of the last related notice.
Records related to our commercial partners (operators, networks): kept according to applicable accounting and AML obligations, typically 5–10 years.

7. Your rights

Under GDPR and equivalent laws, you have the following rights:

Right of access — confirmation of whether we hold your data and a copy of it.
Right to rectification — correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure — deletion of your data, subject to legal exceptions.
Right to restriction of processing — pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
Right to data portability — your data in a machine-readable format.
Right to object — objection to processing based on legitimate interest, including profiling.
Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent.
Right to complain — complaint to your national data protection authority. UK readers may complain to the ICO; California residents may contact the California Attorney General; Italian residents may contact the Garante.

For California residents, the CCPA grants substantively similar rights.

8. How to exercise your rights

Send an email to privacy [at] slotmap [punto] space with a subject line specifying the right you wish to exercise. We respond within 30 days, often sooner.

9. Children

SlotMap is not directed at children, persons under 18, or persons under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. This site is for adults only (18+; in some jurisdictions 21+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. See our Age Verification & Restricted Jurisdictions page. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy [at] slotmap [punto] space and we will delete it promptly.

10. Self-excluded players

If you are registered with a self-exclusion scheme (GamStop in the UK, ROFUS in Denmark, OASIS in Germany, Italy’s RUA, or equivalent national schemes), our content is not directed at you. We do not maintain a separate database of self-excluded users, but we encourage anyone struggling with gambling to use the resources on our Responsible Gambling page rather than browsing casino-review content. Browser extensions such as Gamban can block this site if you would prefer it not be reachable from your devices.

11. Security

We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures: encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), restricted administrative access, regular security audits, prompt patching of known vulnerabilities. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected users and relevant authorities in the event of a personal data breach as required by law.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy is reviewed at least annually and updated as needed. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Material changes are announced on the homepage and, where appropriate, by direct notification to subscribers.
