Privacy Policy

1) Who we are & what this policy covers

ZipZicle (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates https://zipzicles.com/ (the “Site”).

We’re a USA-focused editorial and affiliate website that publishes guides and comparisons about iGaming—here, mainly focused on Plinko casinos. Our content discusses how Plinko works (risk settings, multipliers, and “each drop is independent”), what to check before joining a Plinko casino (licensing, fairness signals, support, and payout rules), how bonuses work (wagering, max bet rules, expiry dates), and how deposits/withdrawals may use cards, e-wallets, or crypto.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use the Site. It does not cover third-party websites you may visit via outbound links (such as casinos, payment providers, or other partners). Those third parties have their own privacy practices.

2) What we collect

We keep data collection lightweight. The Site does not offer user accounts or process on-site purchases.

A) Information you provide

Based on the settings you provided:

• Newsletter: No
• Contact form: No
• Comments/UGC: No

So we generally do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or messages directly through the Site.

B) Browsing and device data (collected automatically)

When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

• IP address (often used to estimate approximate location)
• Pages viewed, time on page, clicks, scroll activity, and link-out events
• Referrer information (e.g., search engine or referring page)
• Device type, browser type, operating system, language settings
• Cookie IDs and similar identifiers

C) Cookies/trackers for analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution

We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels/tags) for:

• Analytics (to see which Plinko guides help readers—e.g., banking clarity, bonus rules, and verification steps)
• Advertising (to deliver and measure ads, cap frequency, and detect fraud)
• Affiliate tracking (to measure referrals and attribute commissions)

Outbound links may include tracking parameters such as UTM codes, click IDs, or similar identifiers to help measure referrals and conversions.

D) Sensitive information

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the Site (such as government ID images, Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, or biometric data).

If you click through to a casino, that operator may collect additional information (including identity verification/KYC data) under their own privacy policy.

3) How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site
• Prevent abuse, reduce fraud/invalid traffic, and debug issues
• Measure traffic and improve content (for example, making our Plinko advice clearer on payout timelines, fees/limits, and bonus restrictions)
• Personalize or cap ads (where supported)
• Attribute affiliate referrals and commissions when you click to a partner and complete a qualifying action

4) Cookies & tracking

What cookies/pixels do

Cookies and similar technologies help us:

• Understand how visitors use the Site
• Improve performance and content
• Measure advertising and affiliate referrals
• Limit repeated ads and help prevent fraud

How to control cookies

You can control cookies through:

• Your browser settings (block/delete cookies)
• Your device privacy settings
• Private browsing mode and tracker-blocking tools

Note: Blocking cookies may reduce ad relevance and can limit our ability to measure content performance and affiliate referrals.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we aim to honor it where feasible as an opt-out of certain “sale/share” and targeted advertising activities (as defined under some state privacy laws).

5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates

Advertising

The Site uses display/programmatic advertising. Ad partners may use cookies or similar tools to serve and measure ads, reduce fraud, and cap frequency.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand what readers find useful (for example, whether readers engage more with content about license checks, fairness signals, or withdrawal rules).

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. That means:

• We may earn a commission if you click and later complete a qualifying action with a partner.
• Outbound links may include IDs that attribute the referral.

Affiliate revenue helps fund the Site and keep our content free.

6) Sharing of information

We may share information with:

1. Service providers (hosting, site security, analytics, anti-abuse)
2. Advertising partners (ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention)
3. Affiliate partners (referral attribution, reporting, fraud prevention)
4. Legal/compliance recipients (if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and prevent misuse)

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some data sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or measurement may be considered “sharing” under laws like California’s CPRA.

7) Your privacy rights (US states)

Depending on where you live, you may have certain privacy rights.

California (CPRA)

California residents may have the right to:

• Know/access the personal information collected about them
• Delete personal information (with certain exceptions)
• Correct inaccurate personal information

  We do not intentionally collect or use sensitive personal information in a way that triggers “limit use” requests.

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah

How to exercise your rights

To help us verify your request, include:

8) Data retention & security

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Typical ranges:

• Analytics data: up to 24 months
• Server/security logs: up to 12 months
• Affiliate measurement data: varies by partner requirements and fraud-prevention needs

Security

We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine updates. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

9) Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults (21+) due to gambling content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. If you are under 21, do not use the Site.

10) Third-party links & disclaimers

The Site links to third-party websites (casinos, sportsbooks, payment providers, etc.). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their privacy policies before providing personal or payment information.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post updates on this page and change the “Last updated” date.

12) Contact
