This policy explains how personal information may be handled when you visit onlineblackjackusa.net or contact us. The website and business name is onlineblackjackusa.net. Our contact for privacy questions is editor Shayne Currie at [email protected].
We publish blackjack information. We do not operate gambling accounts, accept player deposits or provide a casino cashier. This policy covers our website and correspondence; it does not replace the policies of an operator, payment service or other website you choose to use.
Information you choose to send
Our published contact channel is email. If you write to us, we receive your email address, the name you use, your message and any attachments you include. We use that information to understand the enquiry, respond where appropriate, investigate a correction or deal with a privacy request.
Send only what is needed. Please do not send gambling passwords, identity documents, payment card details, bank statements or complete account histories. For an editorial correction, a page URL, the relevant passage and a public source will usually be more useful than a personal account screenshot. Remove personal details from supporting images.
Technical information from visits
Delivering and protecting a website can involve processing an IP address, requested page, time of access, browser or device information, referring address and information about errors or suspicious traffic. Hosting, network and security services may process these details to provide pages, investigate problems and protect the service.
The website uses Cloudflare for DNS, HTTPS delivery and security services. The information Cloudflare processes depends on the services in use. Its privacy policy explains its own practices. A provider’s policy does not replace our responsibility for information we handle ourselves.
The site also uses Cloudflare’s Web Analytics beacon to measure page performance and visits. Cloudflare describes this tool as not collecting or using visitors’ personal data. This analytics function is separate from the connection and security processing needed to deliver the website. See Cloudflare’s Web Analytics description for its scope.
Cookies and browser storage
The site uses WordPress. Authorised staff sign-ins can use cookies to maintain a session and remember account preferences. Reading public articles does not require a staff account. Delivery or security features may also use browser storage or cookies where needed for their operation.
We do not describe the entire website or linked services as tracking-free. The cookies and storage used by a destination after you follow a link are controlled by that destination. If additional optional analytics, advertising tags or other tools are introduced, the relevant information and any required choices should be provided when those tools are used.
Your browser can show stored cookies and provide controls to remove or restrict them. Blocking essential storage can affect sign-ins or other functions. Browser settings do not necessarily control information already sent to another website.
Commercial links and third parties
Some links may identify a referral to an affiliate program or operator. Clicking can transmit referral information and ordinary connection details to the destination or a tracking service, sometimes through a redirect. Affiliate programs may also provide reporting about referrals and commissions. Read the Affiliate Disclosure for the commercial context.
We cannot control the destination’s registration, verification or marketing practices. Check its privacy policy before providing information. We do not need your casino login to investigate a problem with one of our articles.
Service providers and disclosure
Hosting, email, website maintenance and security providers may process information as part of operating the website or handling correspondence. Information may be processed outside your state or the United States, depending on the provider and service. The relevant protections and legal requirements can differ between locations.
We may also need to retain or disclose information to meet an applicable legal obligation, respond to a valid legal request, investigate misuse or protect legitimate rights. Access should be limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose. We do not publish private enquiry details as part of an editorial correction without considering privacy and obtaining permission where needed.
Retention and security
Enquiries and supporting records should be kept only as long as reasonably needed for their purpose, including follow-up, security, recordkeeping and applicable legal obligations. There is no single retention period for every type of information. A request to remove information may be limited where a record must be retained for a legitimate reason.
Reasonable precautions reduce risk, but no website or email system can guarantee absolute security. Email should not be used to send sensitive account or financial documents to us. If you believe you sent something sensitive by mistake, contact Shayne and identify the message without resending the material.
Your privacy requests
You can ask what personal information we hold about you, request a correction, raise a concern or ask about deletion or withdrawal of consent where applicable. We may need proportionate information to verify a request before disclosing records. We will explain relevant limits rather than promise that every request can be fulfilled in every circumstance.
Privacy rights can depend on your state of residence, the information involved and the laws that apply to the website’s activities. Contact us to raise a request or ask which options apply to information we handle. This policy does not claim that every state privacy statute applies to every visitor or that a right can be exercised without its applicable conditions.
Policy changes and contact
We may revise this policy when the website’s services or information handling changes. The displayed update date identifies the saved revision. Send privacy questions to [email protected], with enough detail to identify your request and no unnecessary sensitive information.
