3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited personal information we collect only for specific, legitimate purposes related to operating net-ent.net as an independent review and information platform about NetEnt.

3.1 Providing and Improving Our Services

We process your information to deliver and continuously enhance the content and functionality of net-ent.net. This includes:

• Displaying personalized content based on your language preference or previously visited pages (if you allow functional cookies)
• Analyzing website traffic and user behavior (in aggregated and anonymized form) to understand which reviews, bonus guides, and game overviews are most popular
• Detecting and fixing technical issues, bugs, or usability problems
• Improving the structure, readability, and relevance of our articles and comparisons

All such processing is performed with the primary goal of making our site more useful and convenient for visitors interested in NetEnt.

3.2 Account Verification and Security

When you contact us via the feedback form, subscribe to the newsletter, or participate in occasional giveaways/contests, we may use your provided information (mainly email and name/nickname) to:

• Verify that the request comes from a real person and prevent spam/abuse
• Securely manage your newsletter subscription (unsubscribe links, confirmation emails)
• Authenticate you in case you follow up on a previous inquiry
• Protect the website from malicious activities (e.g., automated spam submissions, brute-force attempts on contact forms)

We never use your data for credit checks, identity verification for gambling purposes, or any activities related to actual casino account creation — these processes are handled exclusively by NetEnt itself.

3.3 Marketing and Promotional Communications

If you explicitly subscribe to our newsletter or agree to receive updates, we may send you:

• Informative emails about new NetEnt reviews, updated bonus offers, or important platform changes
• Occasional announcements of exclusive giveaways or limited-time promotions we are authorized to share
• Curated content highlights (new slot reviews, jackpot trackers, etc.)

You can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly. We do not sell your email address to third parties and never send unsolicited commercial messages without your prior consent.

3.4 Legal and Regulatory Compliance

We may process your data when required or permitted by law, including:

• Responding to valid legal requests from courts or regulatory authorities
• Protecting our legal rights, safety, and property (or the safety of our users)
• Complying with applicable data protection legislation (GDPR, etc.)
• Detecting, preventing, and investigating fraud, abuse, or security incidents on our website

Such processing is always limited to the minimum necessary and carried out with appropriate safeguards.

4. Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

Depending on the specific activity, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under GDPR and other relevant laws:

• Consent — when you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter, agree to cookies, or participate in a giveaway
• Contract — when processing is necessary to provide you with the services you requested (e.g., answering your question sent via the contact form)
• Legitimate Interests — for website analytics (anonymized), security measures, fraud prevention, and improving our services — always balanced against your rights and freedoms
• Legal Obligation — when we are required by law to process or retain certain data

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal).

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in very limited, specific circumstances and always with appropriate protections.

5.1 Service Providers and Partners

We may share anonymized or pseudonymized data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the website. These include:

• Web hosting and cloud infrastructure providers
• Analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics — with IP anonymization enabled)
• Email service providers (for newsletter delivery — e.g., Mailchimp or similar)
• Security and spam-protection services

All such providers are bound by strict data processing agreements (DPAs) and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes.

5.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid and proportionate request from:

• Competent courts
• Law enforcement agencies
• Data protection authorities
• Other public bodies with legal authority

Such disclosure occurs only when we believe it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users and the public.

5. Sharing Your Information 

5.3 Business Transfers

In the unlikely event that net-ent.net (or substantially all of its assets) is sold, merged, acquired, or undergoes a similar business transition, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner or successor entity as part of the overall business assets.

Any such transfer will be carried out under strict confidentiality obligations. The new entity will be required to handle your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy (or a substantially similar policy) and applicable data protection laws.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such material change in ownership via a prominent notice on the website and/or email (if you are subscribed to our newsletter).

6. International Data Transfers

As an online review platform, we may transfer and process your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular to countries where our service providers or hosting infrastructure are located (e.g., United States, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions).

Whenever we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we ensure an adequate level of protection by relying on one or more of the following safeguards:

• Adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
• Binding Corporate Rules (where applicable)
• Other legally recognized mechanisms

All our data processing partners are contractually obligated to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data in line with GDPR requirements.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your information very seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction.

Our security practices include, but are not limited to:

• 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Secure hosting environment with regular security patching
• Access controls (only authorized personnel can access personal data)
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning
• Protection against common web threats (DDoS mitigation, spam filtering, etc.)

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law.

Typical retention periods:

• Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Contact form inquiries — up to 12 months (unless a longer period is required for legal reasons)
• Analytics & server logs — usually 14–26 months (anonymized or aggregated data may be kept longer)
• Giveaway/contest data — only for the duration of the promotion + a short period for winner verification and legal compliance

Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws (especially GDPR for EEA residents), you have several rights regarding your personal information.

9.1 Access, Correction and Deletion

You may request:

• Access to the personal data we hold about you
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion of your personal data (subject to certain legal exceptions)

To exercise these rights, please send your request to [email protected]. We will respond within one month (extendable by two additional months in complex cases) and may ask for proof of identity to protect your data.

9.2 Opt-out of Marketing

You can opt out of receiving promotional emails at any time by:

• Clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any newsletter
• Contacting us directly at [email protected]

Opting out will not affect service-related communications (e.g., important updates about the website).

9.3 Withdrawal of Consent

Where we process your data based on consent (e.g., newsletter subscription, certain cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

9.4 Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data correctly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for example, the Data Protection Commissioner in your country or the Irish Data Protection Commission if you are in the EEA).

You can also contact us first — we are committed to resolving any concerns promptly and fairly.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on net-ent.net.

10.1 What Are Cookies?

There are also similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

10.2 Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize cookies as follows:

You can manage your preferences at any time through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit or by adjusting your browser settings.

11. Minors and Responsible Gaming
