This Privacy Policy explains how DocSlide (“DocSlide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://docslide.net (the “Website”).
DocSlide is an editorial and affiliate website focused primarily on PA online casinos and related iGaming brands. We provide guides, reviews, comparisons, and educational content to help adults understand licensed online casinos, bonuses, payment options, and responsible gambling tools. We do not operate any casino or accept bets; we simply point you to third-party sites that do.
By using our Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
What We Collect
We aim to keep data collection minimal and practical. The types of information we may collect include:
Contact Information
If you email us directly ([email protected]), we may collect:
-
Your email address
-
Your name or nickname (if you provide it)
-
The content of your message
We do not currently use onsite contact forms or newsletter sign-ups. All contact is voluntary and initiated by you.
Browsing and Device Data
When you use the Website, certain information is automatically collected for security, analytics, and performance purposes, such as:
-
IP address and approximate location (city/region level)
-
Device type, operating system, and browser type
-
Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and navigation paths
-
Referring URLs (where you came from before visiting our site)
-
Clicks on outbound links, including affiliate links
-
Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies
We use this information in aggregated or pseudonymous form where possible.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
-
Measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site
-
Remember basic preferences (e.g., cookie choices)
-
Track when you click on partner or affiliate links so that we can receive commission if you later sign up or make a deposit
-
Support advertising and analytics services
We do not knowingly collect or process sensitive categories of data (such as health information, precise geolocation, or race/ethnicity).
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
-
Operate and maintain the Website
-
Prevent abuse and fraud, and secure our systems
-
Measure traffic and performance to improve content and user experience
-
Understand which pages and guides are most useful, so we can create more of what helps you
-
Attribute affiliate commissions when you click on certain outbound links and later interact with a partner site
-
Serve and optimize advertising, including limiting how often you see a particular ad
If you email us, we also use your contact details to respond to your inquiry. We do not send mass marketing emails or newsletters at this time.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Pixels and similar tools help us measure visits, clicks, and conversions. On DocSlide, these technologies are used to:
-
Track basic site usage and performance through analytics tools
-
Support advertising and affiliate attribution, such as counting when a user clicks a link to a PA online casino and later signs up
-
Remember your choices around cookies or other preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
-
Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
-
Use private/incognito browsing modes
-
Use browser extensions designed to limit tracking
If you are a US resident and wish to opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising or affiliate tracking where it qualifies as “sharing” under California law, you can contact us at [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. Where technically feasible, we also treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of “sale/share” for behavioral advertising.
Advertising, Analytics, and Affiliates
DocSlide uses standard analytics and advertising services provided by well-known technology vendors. These services help us:
-
Understand which pages are popular
-
See how visitors move through the site
-
Serve or measure ads and affiliate links
We also work with affiliate networks and iGaming brands. When you click an outbound link to a PA online casino or other partner, that link may include an ID, click tag, or tracking parameter. If you later sign up or make a deposit, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
These third parties may place their own cookies or pixels in your browser. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review those policies before signing up.
Sharing of Information
We may share information in these limited ways:
-
Service Providers – With hosting providers, analytics tools, security services, and similar vendors who help us run the Website. They only use the data to perform services on our behalf.
-
Advertising and Affiliate Partners – With networks and partners that provide ad serving, click tracking, or affiliate attribution. This may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under some US laws.
-
Legal and Compliance – When required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of DocSlide, our users, or others.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Some of our use of cookies and third-party tools may be treated as “sharing” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), primarily for advertising and measurement purposes.
Your Privacy Rights (US States)
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights over your personal information. These can include the right to:
-
Access the personal information we hold about you
-
Delete certain information, subject to legal exceptions
-
Correct inaccurate information
-
Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising
-
Receive a copy of your information in a portable format, where applicable
-
Appeal if we deny your request (for certain states)
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with:
-
Your request (e.g., access, delete, opt out)
-
The state you reside in
-
Enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity (for example, the email address you used to contact us previously)
If we deny your request and you are in a state that offers an appeals process, you may email us again with “Appeal” in the subject line and we will review the decision.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require a right to limit under California law.
Data Retention and Security
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, including:
-
Server logs: typically up to 12 months, unless needed for security or legal reasons
-
Analytics data: typically up to 24 months in aggregated or pseudonymous form
-
Email correspondence: as long as needed to handle your request and maintain basic records
We use reasonable security measures, such as HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular software updates. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, and you use the Website at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
DocSlide is intended for adults only, particularly those interested in PA online casinos. Our content is not directed to individuals under 21 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21.
If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it where required by law.
Third-Party Links and Websites
Our Website contains links to third-party sites, including online casinos, advertisers, and affiliate partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those sites.
We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party site before registering, depositing, or providing personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Website, but we encourage you to check this page periodically.
Your continued use of the Website after any changes means you accept the updated Policy.
