6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND DATA SHARING
CasinoAlpha sometimes shares data with third parties and other services. We only do so if it’s mandatory, and such occurrences are rare.
6.1. Analytics Services
Matomo Analytics (Self-Hosted)
CasinoAlpha uses Matomo Analytics, which is self-hosted on our EU servers in Germany. We act as the only Data Controller, and Mtomo functions as our tool, so your analytics data never leaves our infrastructure or gets shared with any other party.
Matomo collects technical data, such as:
- IP addresses
- pages visited
- time spent
- referral sources
- The type of browser and device
- geographic location (at a country level)
- clicks
Note: We do not collect personally identifiable information or share data with advertisers.
For more information on the matter, consult https://matomo.org/privacy/.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 from Google LLC to understand how people use our website. Google processes this data on our behalf under a formal data processing agreement.
Google Analytics collects the following data:
- your IP address
- which pages you visit
- how you browse our site
- how long you stay on our site
- whether you leave quickly
- where your traffic comes from
- what device you’re using

- actions you take on our site
Our team has turned off all the potential publicity features, and we never track your activity on different devices. Our team of experts doesn’t use advertising featuring gamblers’ personal data, which is automatically deleted every 14 months. As for the cookies, they expire after a maximum of 24 months.
You can find more information in the following sources:

6.2. Comparison: Matomo vs. Google Analytics
| Feature | Matomo | Google Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Self-hosted EU | Google USA |
| Data Ownership | 100% ours | Shared with Google |
| Privacy Focus | Very high | Moderate (configured) |
| GDPR Built-in | Yes | Requires config + consent |
| International Transfer | None (EU only) | Yes (EU → USA) |
| Third-Party Access | None | Google (no ad use) |
| IP Anonymization | 2 bytes | 1 byte |
| DNT Respect | Yes | No |
| Data Retention | 24 months | 14 months |
| Legal Basis | Legitimate interests | Consent (EEA) |
We employ Matomo for privacy analytics, and we use the Google services for benchmarking advanced features. It is your choice if you consent to both, just one, or neither of the two.
6.3. Casino Operators (Affiliate Relationships)
We earn commissions when you register and play at online casinos by following links on our page. When you click an affiliate link, the casino platform you access will place a tracking cookie on your device that usually lasts up to 90 days. This cookie links your activity to our referral.
If you register and make an account at that casino during the time the cookie is active, the casino brand notifies us that a user referred from CasinoAlpha has registered and deposited. Based on this referral, the casino company pays CasinoAlpha a commission, which includes one of the following:
- $25 to C$200 as a one-time Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) payment
- 20% to 40% of the net revenue you generate as an ongoing revenue share agreement
We share the following data with casino brands:
- Referral sources
- Timestamps for clicks
- Our affiliate IDs
- Click ID sessions
In exchange, we receive from casino brands conversion information and the due commission. We never share your personal details with the casino brands.
Once you register an online casino, you will need to abide by its Terms and its own Privacy Policy, so you should go through them before using the website.
Note: To receive more information, see our Editorial Policy.
6.4. Email Service Provider
CasinoAlpha uses AWeber for collecting emails and sending newsletter batches. In our usage, we collect your email address, name, and preferences when it comes to your subscription and how you engage with the emails we send.
6.5. Hosting and Infrastructure
For website services of CDN, DDoS, SSL/TLS, database cleanup and management, CasinoAlpha uses Google Provider through their EU/EEA Cloud.
6.6. When We Must Disclose Data
CasinoAlpha may need to share your personal information if the law requires it.
This means following:
- Orders from the court
- Subpoenas and other legal procedures
- Meeting regulatory requirements
- Answering legal requests received from the government
- Meeting tax or financial reporting requirements
CasinoAlpha may also share information in order to keep players safe and protect their rights. This includes:
- Ensuring our T&Cs are followed
- Stopping fraud and combating security threats
- Protecting our rights, property, and safety
- Keeping our users and the public safe
CasinoAlpha may give your data to a new owner if the business moves, such as through a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or bankruptcy. If this comes to pass, we shall notify you via email and a Website notice before any transfer takes place.
Our team may also disclose your data if we receive your consent for any purposes not covered above. In any case, we follow data minimisation principles and disclose only the minimum required information in order to fulfill a specific purpose.
6.7. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data
CasinoAlpha does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Affiliate commissions are not a “sale” under GDPR/CCPA/CPRA because we do not transfer PII to operators.
6.8. Third-Party Links
Our platform has links included that lead to other third-party sites. This means that as soon as you click, their terms and privacy policies apply.
CasinoAlpha has no control over the actions of third-party services we link to. They are the only ones responsible for their content, site security, and how they use the data you share with them.
6.9. List of Third-Party Data Recipients
| Recipient | Purpose | Location | Data Shared | Legal Basis |

As a consequence, all your data is handled according to the principles and the directives of the GDPR law.
7.2. Transfers Outside EU/EEA

The casino brands are licensed in various jurisdictions, including:
-
Malta
-
Curaçao
-
Gibraltar
-
the UK
When you access casino platforms, you enter a direct relationship with them, and their privacy policies govern how your data is used. This is also valid for situations when you interact with social media sharing buttons.

8.3. Secure Deletion
Your private data is safely deleted or anonymised. The backups of this said data are removed in 90 days or less. The same model and instructions follow for the third-party services associated or involved.
8.4. Exceptions

9. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER GDPR (EEA/UK)
For EU/EEA and UK residents, the following rights apply.
9.1. Right to Access
