GoodSweeps is an educational and comparison site. This policy explains the information involved in using our website, why it is used and the choices available to you.
What this policy covers
This policy covers GoodSweeps and the services we use to deliver the site. It does not cover casino websites or other third-party sites we link to. Their own privacy policies apply when you use their services.
GoodSweeps is intended for adults aged 18 or over, or 21 where required. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Information you choose to share
When you submit our contact form, the details you provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message, are sent to our email inbox so we can respond.
Cloudflare processes the form submission and Purelymail delivers and stores the message. The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce spam. This security check processes technical information about your browser and connection. Short-lived, hashed submission counters help limit repeated messages and expire within two hours. Read Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy information and Purelymail’s privacy policy.
Please do not include passwords, payment-card details, identity documents or casino account credentials in messages to us.
Information involved in loading the site
When you visit a page, the servers delivering it receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, requested files and the time of the request. Hosting and delivery providers may keep logs for security, troubleshooting and reliable operation.
The site serves its fonts through our website hosting and loads some images through Sanity’s image delivery service. Your browser contacts these providers to request the files, which shares technical request information such as your IP address and browser details. These file requests are separate from Google Analytics.
Google Analytics
If you accept analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand overall website usage, including which pages are useful and how visitors use the site. Google Analytics does not load before you accept or while your choice is Reject.
Analytics uses cookies to distinguish browsers and sessions, and can collect page visits, scrolls, outbound link clicks, general location, device and browser information. We do not use it for personalized advertising or send contact-form messages to Analytics. We remove query strings and fragments from the page addresses we send.
Choose Reject to use the site without Google Analytics. You can change your choice through Analytics preferences in the footer or the button at the top of this page. Withdrawing consent stops future collection and removes this site’s accessible Analytics cookies; the page may refresh to finish turning Analytics off. Withdrawal does not erase data already processed, but you can contact us about your privacy rights.
You can read more about Google Analytics cookie use and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Cookies and similar technologies
We store your analytics choice in your browser’s local storage for up to 180 days so we can remember it. This preference contains your choice and its expiry, with no visitor identifier. We ask again when it expires or if you clear your browser storage. If your browser blocks storage, we may be unable to remember your choice between pages.
After acceptance, Google’s first-party _ga and _ga_8Z3WJL31EL cookies distinguish browsers and maintain session information. Our configuration limits their lifetime to the remaining period of your 180-day choice. Rejecting analytics removes accessible Analytics cookies from this site. Hosting or security services may use technologies needed to deliver and protect the site. Third-party sites you visit through our links may set their own cookies.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some website functions may not work as expected if necessary cookies are blocked.
How information is used and shared
We use information to operate and protect the website and respond to messages. Analytics helps us understand aggregate usage and improve the content.
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by providers that help deliver the site and its services, or disclosed where required by law. We do not use personal information to make automated decisions about you.
How long information is kept
We aim to keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, including reasonable security and legal requirements. Retention for technical logs depends on the hosting and delivery services involved.
We keep messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable records. Google Analytics currently retains event-level data for two months and user-level data for 14 months; new consented activity can restart the user-data period. Aggregate reports may be kept longer.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, receive a copy of your information, or withdraw consent. You may also be able to complain to your local data-protection authority.
Use our Contact page to send privacy questions or requests. Please mention “Privacy” in the subject so we can direct your message appropriately.
International processing and security
Service providers may process information in countries other than your own. We take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Updates to this policy
We revise this page when our practices change so it reflects the services and privacy choices available on the site.
