SweepSlotsGuide operates as an independent informational resource focused on the US sweepstakes casino market. This privacy policy explains what data we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your personal information.
Information We Collect
We collect two categories of information: data you provide directly and data collected automatically through your use of the site.
Information You Provide
If you contact us through available communication channels, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not require account registration to access any content on SweepSlotsGuide.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our site, our servers and third-party analytics services may automatically collect certain technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies, which are described in detail in our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the website, to analyze site traffic and usage patterns in order to improve our content and user experience, to respond to inquiries you send us, and to comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Third-Party Services
SweepSlotsGuide uses third-party services that may collect information about your visit. These include analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy available at policies.google.com/privacy. We may also use content delivery networks and hosting providers that process server logs containing IP addresses and request data as part of normal website operations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share personally identifiable information with sweepstakes casino operators, gaming companies, or advertising networks.
Data Retention
Automatically collected analytics data is retained for a period of 26 months, after which it is aggregated or deleted. If you contact us directly, we retain your correspondence for as long as necessary to address your inquiry, and no longer than 12 months after the last communication unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls limiting who can view collected data, and regular review of our data handling practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to or restrict certain processing activities, and request a portable copy of your data. Residents of California may exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request its deletion.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided at the bottom of this page. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days, or within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
SweepSlotsGuide is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

If you access our site from outside the United States, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.
