You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

AffiliateRank earns commissions when users sign up or deposit at casino sites through our links. This affiliate relationship is disclosed throughout our site. We track click-throughs and conversions to receive proper compensation, but this tracking does not identify you personally to us beyond what you've already provided.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption, secure password hashing, regular security audits, and access controls. While we strive to protect your data, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@affiliaterank.com or use the account settings in your dashboard.

8. Data Retention

We retain account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal, fraud prevention, or legitimate business purposes. Anonymous analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

9. Age Restrictions

AffiliateRank is intended for users 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it immediately.

10. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to casino and gambling websites. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.

11. International Users

AffiliateRank operates globally. By using our service, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be announced on our website and, if you have an account, via email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
