Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how RigLoot (rigloot.com) collects, uses, shares and protects personal data when you visit our website. It also describes your rights under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently.

1. Who we are (data controller)

The data controller responsible for your personal data is [Company name — TODO], operator of RigLoot, registered at [Registered address — TODO]. For any privacy-related question or request, you can reach us at privacy@rigloot.com. Where required by law, our data protection contact is [Data Protection Officer / representative — TODO].

2. What data we collect

We collect a limited amount of data, most of it automatically, in order to run the website, understand our audience and display advertising. This includes:

• Usage and device data: IP address (often truncated or anonymised), browser type, operating system, device type, screen size, referring pages, pages viewed, time on page and approximate location derived from your IP.
• Cookies and identifiers: cookies, local storage entries and similar technologies used for analytics and advertising, as described in our Cookie Policy.
• Information you provide voluntarily: for example, your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, or the content of a message if you contact us.
• Advertising and affiliate interaction data: whether you clicked an ad or an affiliate/CPA offer link, collected by us and by our partners to measure performance.

We do not intentionally collect special categories of sensitive personal data, and we do not ask you for more information than we need.

3. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and comparable technologies to make the site work, to measure traffic and to support advertising. We use analytics tools to understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use RigLoot so we can improve our content. Where required by law, non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner. Full details, categories and controls are set out in our Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising and third parties

RigLoot is funded by display advertising and by affiliate and CPA offer links. To deliver and measure advertising, we and our advertising partners may use cookies and identifiers to build a profile of your interests and to show you more relevant ads (personalised advertising), subject to your consent where required.

• Advertising partners and networks may act as independent controllers or joint controllers of the data they collect through ads served on our pages.
• Affiliate and CPA networks may set a tracking cookie or identifier when you click an offer link so that a resulting sign-up or purchase can be attributed to RigLoot.
• These partners have their own privacy policies. We list key partners and link to their policies in our Cookie Policy.
• Our commercial relationships with these partners are described in our Affiliate Disclosure.

5. How and why we use your data (legal bases)

Under the GDPR we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for analytics cookies, advertising cookies, personalised advertising and newsletter marketing. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests — for operating and securing the website, preventing fraud and abuse, and understanding aggregate audience trends, where this does not override your rights.
• Performance of a contract / steps prior to a contract — for example, to deliver a newsletter you signed up for.
• Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data to comply with applicable law.

6. Data sharing and international transfers

We share personal data only with service providers and partners that help us run RigLoot, including analytics providers, advertising and affiliate networks, hosting and content delivery providers, and email service providers. Some of these providers are located outside the EEA or the UK. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision. We do not sell your personal data for money.

7. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Analytics data is retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form, typically for up to [retention period — TODO, e.g. 14–26 months].
• Newsletter subscription data is retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
• Advertising and affiliate interaction data is retained according to each partner's own retention schedule.
• Correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to keep appropriate records.

8. Your rights

If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR), you have the right to access your personal data; to rectify inaccurate data; to erase data ("right to be forgotten"); to restrict or object to processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used and shared; the right to request deletion of your personal information; the right to correct inaccurate information; and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, including cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@rigloot.com. You can also manage advertising and analytics preferences at any time through the controls described in our Cookie Policy.

9. How to contact us

For any privacy question, request or complaint, email privacy@rigloot.com or write to [Company name — TODO] at [Registered address — TODO]. We aim to respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

10. Children

RigLoot is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 (or the minimum age set by your local law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@rigloot.com and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The "Last updated" date above indicates when the latest changes took effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
