Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how FAQsino (“FAQsino”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operating the website faqsino.com (the “Site”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about visitors and registered members (“you”) of the Site.

FAQsino is an independent online casino comparison and review platform. We are not a gambling operator: we do not accept wagers, process deposits or withdrawals, or hold player funds. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

Information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a comment or forum post, leave a review, or contact us directly.

Technical information — collected automatically, including your IP address (used to determine your approximate country for GEO-relevant content, then discarded rather than stored against your profile), browser type and version, device type, operating system, and referring URL.

Usage information — pages viewed, time spent on the Site, links clicked (including links to third-party casino operators), search queries, and general interaction patterns, collected via cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and the accuracy of our reviews, toplists, and guides;
• Show you content relevant to your country, in line with local gambling licensing and availability;
• Manage your account, and respond to comments, forum activity, and support requests;
• Send you newsletters or updates you have specifically opted in to receive, and let you unsubscribe at any time;
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activity, abuse, and security incidents;
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. Legal Basis For Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent (for example, newsletter sign-up or non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (such as keeping the Site secure and improving our content), and, where relevant, to comply with a legal obligation. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality, to remember your preferences (such as your age-verification status and country), for analytics, and — only with your consent — for marketing and affiliate-tracking purposes. Full details of every category we use, and how to manage your preferences, are set out in our Cookie Policy.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us run the Site — hosting, security, email delivery, and analytics providers — bound by contractual confidentiality obligations;
• Affiliate and casino partners, limited to click and referral-tracking data (for example, an anonymized click ID) needed to attribute a referral — not your name, email, or account details, unless you choose to register directly with that operator yourself;
• Legal and regulatory authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public;
• A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy continuing to apply to your information.

7. International Data Transfers

FAQsino operates internationally, and information we collect may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which you reside. Where we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area or the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your information.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy — for example, for as long as your account remains active, or as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When no longer needed, information is securely deleted or anonymized.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”);
• Restrict or object to certain processing of your data;
• Receive your data in a portable format;
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent;
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our Contact page. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is strictly intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority and legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
