1) Who we are & what this policy covers
denverboyscouts (“we”, “us”, “our”) runs https://www.denverboyscouts.org/. We’re an independent editorial site that reviews and compares iGaming brands that are accessible to readers in the UAE and other markets. Our content explains how we assess platforms—licensing and fairness, payment speed and banking flexibility (including e-wallets and crypto), and bonus transparency (including wagering rules)—so readers can make safer, better-informed choices. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
We do not operate any casino, we don’t offer user accounts, and we don’t sell anything on our site. Our revenue primarily comes from advertising and affiliate partnerships.
2) What we collect
Because we don’t run accounts or checkout flows, we keep data collection light:
-
Browsing & device data: IP address, pages viewed, time on page, links you click (including outbound “visit site” buttons), referrer/UTM parameters, approximate location (derived from IP), device/OS/browser type, and cookie or mobile ad identifiers.
-
Cookies/trackers: Small files and pixels used for site functionality, analytics, advertising (including frequency capping), and affiliate attribution (e.g., click IDs, UTMs, partner link parameters that record when you click from our site to a third-party site).
-
Contact data (only if you write to us): If you email us, we’ll receive your email address and the content of your message.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of data (such as government IDs, health, or biometric data) through this website.
3) How we use information
We use the information above to:
-
Operate, secure, and debug the site (including preventing abuse and fraud).
-
Measure traffic and engagement so we can improve articles and rankings.
-
Run analytics and advertising, including capping how often you see an ad.
-
Attribute affiliate commissions when you click through and later sign up with a third-party brand (using standard affiliate parameters).
-
Respond to messages you send to us.
-
Comply with applicable laws and requests from regulators or authorities.
We do not profile users for high-risk decisions. We also don’t use data from this site to make automated decisions about you.
4) Cookies & tracking
Cookies and similar technologies (pixels, tags, SDKs) help remember your preferences, understand what content is useful, show or limit ads, and record affiliate link performance. Affiliate links may append parameters to the URL when you leave our site so a partner can recognize that you came from us.
Managing cookies:
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also use private browsing modes or tracking-protection features. Some parts of the site may not function perfectly without cookies, but core content remains available. If you want us to minimize analytics/marketing cookies set by our domain, email us and we’ll do our best to set an opt-out cookie or otherwise honor your request where technically feasible.
5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates
We use analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand site usage, ad partners to serve or measure ads, and affiliate networks/partners to track when a click from our site results in a sign-up on a third-party site. Outbound links to third-party brands can contain IDs or parameters so that, if you convert, the partner can attribute that to us. We may receive compensation when you click or convert. This does not affect our editorial methodology.
We do not control third-party cookies once you leave our site. Please review the privacy policies of any brand you visit.
6) Sharing of information
We share limited information with:
-
Service providers that host our site, provide analytics, security/anti-abuse tools, and similar services (they process data on our instructions).
-
Advertising and affiliate partners that help deliver or measure ads and attribute affiliate actions.
-
Authorities or legal requests where required by law, to protect our rights, or detect/prevent fraud or security issues.
-
Business transfers: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, site data may transfer as part of that deal.
We do not sell personal data for money. We may allow partners to process browsing data for advertising measurement or audience insights consistent with UAE data protection rules.
7) Your privacy rights (UAE)
Depending on where you are and which UAE data law applies (the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) or relevant free-zone laws such as DIFC/ADGM), you may have the right to:
-
Access the personal data we hold about you.
-
Request correction of inaccurate data.
-
Request deletion of your data (subject to our legal obligations).
-
Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing.
-
Withdraw consent where we rely on consent.
-
Request portability (to receive certain data in a usable format).
How to exercise your rights:
Email us at [email protected] with your request. We may ask for information to verify your identity and to help locate your records (for example, your IP range, timestamps, or pages visited). We aim to respond within 30 days. If we decline your request (for example, where a legal obligation prevents deletion), you can appeal by replying to our decision with “Appeal” in the subject line. If you’re still unhappy, you may contact the UAE Data Office or, where applicable, the relevant free-zone data protection authority.
8) International transfers, retention & security
International transfers: Our service providers may be located outside the UAE. When we transfer data internationally, we use reasonable safeguards such as contractual protections and only work with providers that commit to appropriate security.
Retention:
-
Server security logs: typically up to 12 months.
-
Analytics data: typically up to 24 months (provider default settings may apply).
-
Correspondence: as long as needed to handle your request and for our records.
Security: We use HTTPS, access controls, and regularly update software and systems. No website can promise perfect security, but we work to protect data from unauthorized access or misuse.
9) Children’s privacy
Our site is for adults 21+. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.
10) Third-party links & disclaimers
Our articles link to external sites (including iGaming brands). Their data practices are not ours, and their terms, jurisdictions, and privacy rules may differ—especially for offshore operators. Please read their privacy policies before sharing information.
11) Changes to this policy
We’ll post any changes on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be highlighted for a reasonable time.
