Privacy Policy
Introduction
Our site sugarrush-slot.ie serves as an independent informational resource on slot games. Three of us built it after connecting at a Kildare coding meetup. We manage content through a shared Git repository and chat on a private Discord server. This policy details data practices. No gambling takes place here. We focus on facts and visuals. Effective date sits at 2026-03-31T00:00:00.000+03:00. That marks when these terms start applying. Visitors land here for slot info without signing up. Minimal data collection occurs. Server logs capture basics. Cookies track sessions lightly. Read on for specifics.
We stick to EU rules including GDPR since Ireland hosts our operations. Personal data means info tied to identifiable people. Most visitors stay anonymous. IP addresses log but do not identify alone. Contact comes via [email protected]. Questions go there. This document spans our full approach. Sections break down collection use sharing rights and more. Changes happen rarely. Updates post here.
Data We Collect
Browsing generates automatic data. Servers record IP addresses timestamps and pages viewed. Referrers show prior sites. User agents reveal browser details. These logs help debug issues. Our Git repo stores site code. Discord handles team talk. Site visitors trigger these logs. No names emails or payments collect without form submission. A contact form exists for queries. That grabs name email and message if filled. Few use it. Analytics use basic cookies. No third-party trackers like Google Analytics run. We built custom scripts for counts.
Forms ask minimal fields. Optional newsletter signup collects email only. Rare occurrences. Device info infers from headers. Screen size or OS version not stored. Location guesses from IP stay coarse. Country level at best. No precise geodata. Children under 16 barred from forms. Verification absent but policy states it. All collection ties to site function.
How We Collect Data
Collection happens passively. Web servers log every request. Nginx setup writes to files rotated weekly. We review logs monthly via SSH. Cookies set on first visit. Session ID lasts 30 minutes. Persistent cookie for return visits expires yearly. JavaScript logs page interactions. Scroll depth and time on page record aggregated. No individual profiles build. Form submissions POST to our PHP endpoint. Data emails to [email protected] and deletes. No database stores personal info. Flat files for anon stats.
Third parties minimal. Cloudflare caches pages. They log IPs temporarily. Our host in Ireland keeps server logs. Git pushes trigger deploys. Discord bots absent from site. Team access limited to three SSH keys. Collection automated no manual entry.
Cookies and Similar Tech
Cookies store small data bits. Essential ones maintain sessions. Preferences cookie remembers dark mode if set. Analytics cookie tracks unique visits. No IDs sent externally. List follows: session_id essential 30min; prefs persistent 1yr; analytics persistent 1yr. Disable via browser settings. Site works without non-essential. Local storage holds temp data like recent searches. Clears on close. No fingerprinting combines traits for ID.
EU cookie law requires consent banners. Ours shows on first load. Accept rejects non-essential. Banner code open source on GitHub mirror. Changes to cookies update here. Rejecting limits features like stats pages.
Use of Collected Data
Data serves operational needs. Logs diagnose crashes. High traffic pages get priority. Aggregates inform content updates. For instance our Sugar rush coverage draws most views. IP blocks spammers. Form data answers queries. Stats shape visuals. No marketing uses. No profiles for ads. Team reviews anon summaries. Discord shares key metrics. Git commits track changes. Use stays internal factual.
Legal compliance drives some uses. GDPR mandates records. Audit trails from logs. Abuse reports trigger retention. Improvement guides collection. Patterns show popular topics. No sale or trade occurs.
Sharing Your Data
Sharing limited strictly. Team of three accesses logs. No external parties get raw data. Cloudflare sees traffic not content. Host retains server logs per contract. Law enforcement requests reviewed case by case. Warrants needed for personal data. No routine shares. Form emails stay in team inboxes. Deleted after response. Aggregates post publicly sometimes. No names ever.
Business transfers absent. No sale planned. Mergers unlikely for small project. Subprocessors listed: hosting provider only. Their policy links on contact. Transparency full here.

Data Retention
Logs keep 90 days. Rotate delete older. Forms delete post-response or 30 days. Cookies expire naturally. Anon stats archive indefinitely. GDPR right to erasure applies. Requests process via email. Retention minimal necessary. Backups monthly purge personal. Git history anon. Discord messages self-destruct after 7 days.
Periods adjust for issues. DDoS logs extend. Legal holds override. Notice given post-incident. Balance struck between function and privacy.
Your Rights
GDPR grants rights. Access request data copy. Rectification fixes errors. Erasure deletes where possible. Restriction pauses processing. Portability for machine data rare here. Object to uses. Withdraw consent anytime. Automated decisions none occur. Exercise via [email protected]. Response within month. ID verification simple email match.
Complaints go to Data Protection Commission Ireland. Link dpc.ie. We cooperate fully. Rights apply to personal data only. Anon logs exempt often. Details per article explained below. Access covers logs with your IP. Erasure scrubs matches.
Security Measures
Site runs HTTPS everywhere. SSL certs renew auto. Firewall blocks bad IPs. SSH keys only no passwords. Repo private GitHub. Discord roles limit. Backups encrypted offsite. Logs permission 600. Updates patch weekly. Monitoring scripts alert team. Breach protocol notifies affected within 72h per GDPR. Tests quarterly manual.
Risks exist always. Phishing targets team. Multi-factor absent Discord only. Improvements ongoing. Report issues to email.
Children's Privacy
No content targets kids. Forms check age optional. Under 16 no process. Parents contact for removal. No kid data expected. COPPA not direct but followed spirit.
International Transfers
All data stays EU. Host Ireland. GitHub US but repo empty public mirror anon. Discord servers EU selected. No transfers outside adequacy decisions. Contracts standard if needed.
