Privacy Policy of casino-iraq-online.com For Players And Visitors
casino-iraq-online.com is an independent review site that compares online casinos available to players in Iraq. We do not accept bets, hold player funds, or process deposits in IQD or any other currency. This policy explains what data we collect, why we need it, how long we keep it, and how you can control it.
Who We Are And What This Policy Covers
Our editors test casino sites, check bonus terms and payment options, and publish reviews for Iraqi readers. Read more about the team on the About Us page.
This policy applies to every page of our site, including casino reviews, guides, About Us, and our email updates. It does not cover the casino sites we link to, which have their own privacy rules.
We respect the right to personal privacy set out in Article 17 of the Constitution of Iraq. We also apply the core principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): we collect only what we need, use it for clear purposes, and delete it when it is no longer required.
Information We Collect From Visitors In Iraq
Most visitors read our reviews without sharing any personal details. We collect a limited set of data automatically and receive more only if you provide it.
| Data Type | Examples | How We Receive It |
|---|---|---|
| Technical data | IP address, browser, operating system, device type | Automatically when a page loads |
| Usage data | Pages viewed, time on page, links clicked, referring site | Analytics cookies, only with your consent |
| Contact data | Name, email address, message text | When you write to us or subscribe to email updates |
| Preference data | Cookie choices, display settings | Stored in your own browser |
Many readers in Iraq browse on mobile data from carriers such as Asiacell, Zain Iraq or Korek Telecom. In that case, the IP address we see belongs to the carrier’s network and usually points only to an approximate area, such as Baghdad, Basra or Erbil, not to your home address.
Details We Never Ask You To Share
We have no reason to hold financial or identity documents, so our team will never ask you for:
- bank card numbers, CVV codes or online banking passwords;
- e-wallet logins or PINs, including ZainCash, Qi Card or FastPay;
- copies of your national ID card, passport or utility bills;
- usernames or passwords for your casino accounts.
Identity checks (KYC) and payments happen only on the operator’s own site. If someone claiming to represent us requests these details, do not reply and report the message to our team.
Why We Use Your Data
We use the information described above for these purposes only:
- To load pages correctly on your device and protect the site from spam, bots and attacks.
- To see which reviews and guides readers find useful, so we can update outdated bonus terms and payment details.
- To answer your questions, complaints, and correction requests.
- To send email updates on new reviews, only if you subscribed. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
- To meet legal obligations, such as responding to a valid request from a court or public authority.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it to build profiles for targeted advertising.
Cookies And Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that a site saves in your browser. Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser, while persistent cookies stay until they expire or you remove them. We place non-essential cookies only after you accept them in the cookie banner.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Example | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Page loading, security, saving your cookie choice | Session and consent cookies | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Counting visits and measuring how pages are used | Google Analytics | Up to 2 years, 24 hours |
| Affiliate tracking | Recording that you reached an operator through our link | Set by the operator’s affiliate program | Defined by the operator |
Our cookies do not store your name, email address or any other detail that identifies you directly.
How To Manage Or Refuse Cookies
Accept or reject non-essential cookies in the banner shown on your first visit. To change that choice later, delete our cookies in your browser and the banner will appear again. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Samsung Internet let you block or remove cookies in their privacy settings. Blocking essential cookies may disable some features, but our reviews stay readable.
Links To Casino Operators And Partners
Our reviews contain links to online casinos. When you click one, the operator may record that you came from our site, and we may receive a commission if you register. This does not change the bonus or the terms you receive.
Once you leave our pages, the operator’s privacy policy applies. Before signing up, check how the operator handles ID documents, payment data and marketing messages, and whether it accepts players from Iraq.
Sharing Data With Service Providers
We share data only with companies that help us run the site, such as hosting, analytics, security and email delivery services. They process it on our instructions under contracts requiring the same level of protection. Some providers store data on servers outside Iraq, for example in the European Union or the United States.
We may also disclose information if a court or public authority in Iraq or another country makes a lawful request, or to protect our readers from fraud.
How We Protect And Store Your Information
Our site uses HTTPS encryption, and only authorized team members can open contact messages and subscriber lists. We keep contact messages for up to 12 months after we answer them, subscriber emails until you unsubscribe, aggregated analytics data for up to 14 months, and server security logs for up to 90 days. When these periods end, we delete or anonymize the data.
Your Privacy Rights As A Reader
Wherever you live in Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region, you can ask us to:
- show what personal data we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate details;
- delete your data;
- stop sending you emails or withdraw your cookie consent;
- stop a specific use of your data that you object to.
We reply within 30 days. To protect your privacy, we may ask you to confirm the email address you used with us before we act on a request. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
Age Limit And Safer Play
Our content is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, tell us, and we will delete it.
Gambling rules differ by country, so check the laws that apply where you live before you play. If betting starts to affect your money, work or family, visit our Responsible Gambling page for advice on deposit limits, self-exclusion and where to find free support.
Changes To This Policy
We review this policy at least once a year and whenever we add new tools. The date at the top shows the current version. Before significant changes take effect, such as using data for a new purpose, we will post a notice on the site.
Contact Us About Your Data
If you have a question about this policy, want to use one of your rights or need to report a privacy concern, send a message through the Contact Us page. Add “Privacy request” to the subject line so it reaches the person responsible for data protection directly. For questions about our editors and how we rate casinos, visit About Us.
