Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Blast the Bass (“the Site”, “we”, “us”) handles personal data when you visit the Site, read our editorial content, use a form, or interact with affiliate links.

The Site is an editorial and affiliate publication in English. We review Blast the Bass, explain how the game works, and cover third-party casinos that list it. We do not run gambling services, hold player balances, or process deposits and withdrawals.

1. Scope

This policy covers personal data processed through:

• page visits and server requests;
• analytics and cookie-based measurement tools;
• affiliate link tracking;
• reader submissions such as comments or contact messages;
• security, moderation, and abuse-prevention checks.

2. The data we may collect

Depending on how you use the Site, we may process:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, time zone, referring URL, and page-request logs.
• Usage data such as pages viewed, session duration, scroll depth, outbound link clicks, and similar engagement signals.
• Cookie and consent data such as whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies and which language version you visited.
• Affiliate attribution data such as click timestamps, referral paths, and campaign parameters used to measure whether a partner referral originated from this Site.
• Submitted data such as your name, nickname, email address, and message content if you contact us or post a comment where that feature is enabled.
• Moderation and security data used to detect spam, bot traffic, fraud, or abuse of the Site.

We do not open gambling accounts for you and do not collect your payment-card details, casino wallet balances, or KYC documents through this Site.

3. How we use personal data

We use personal data to:

• operate, secure, and improve the Site;
• understand how readers use our pages and which guides are useful;
• publish, moderate, or remove reader comments;
• respond to messages and support requests;
• measure affiliate referrals and the commercial performance of partner links;
• enforce our Terms and protect the Site from spam or malicious activity;
• comply with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory duties where they apply.

4. Legal bases for processing

Where GDPR or similar applicable privacy law applies, we rely on one or more of these legal bases:

• Legitimate interests for site operations, analytics that do not require consent, fraud prevention, editorial measurement, and affiliate reporting.
• Consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies where consent is legally required.
• Steps taken at your request when you contact us and expect a reply.
• Legal obligation where we must retain or disclose data under applicable law.

5. Cookies and affiliate tracking

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• essential site functions;
• remembering language or consent choices;
• traffic measurement and analytics;
• attribution of affiliate referrals to partner casinos.

Affiliate links may route through tracking parameters or network redirects so a partner can identify that a visit came from this Site. That tracking does not change the price you pay. See our Cookie Policy and Disclaimer for more detail.

6. When we share data

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with:

• hosting, analytics, security, and anti-spam providers;
• affiliate platforms or partners that need referral data to measure clicks or conversions;
• professional advisers, auditors, or insurers where reasonably necessary;
• public authorities, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is required by law or needed to protect legal rights.

Third-party casinos, payment providers, and app stores run their own systems and privacy practices. If you leave our Site and register elsewhere, their policies apply to that activity.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where that happens, we expect providers to use a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or an equivalent protective measure.

8. Data retention

We keep data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected for, including:

• server and security logs for operational and abuse-prevention review;
• analytics records for traffic and content reporting;
• comment or contact records for moderation, correspondence, and audit history;
• compliance records where retention is required by law or needed to resolve a dispute.

Retention periods may vary by system and provider. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymise it, or let it expire under the provider’s retention rules.

9. Your rights

If applicable privacy law gives you these protections, you may have the right to:

• request access to your personal data;
• ask us to correct inaccurate data;
• ask us to delete data in some circumstances;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• ask us to restrict processing in some circumstances;
• withdraw consent where processing depends on consent;
• complain to a relevant supervisory authority.

10. Children

The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly design the Site for children or intentionally collect personal data from minors.

11. Changes to this policy
