Poker Type respects the privacy of its readers and is committed to being transparent about the information collected when people use our website.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through Poker Type, why it is collected, how it may be used, and the choices available to visitors.
Our website address is: https://pokertype.com.
Information We Collect
The information Poker Type collects depends on how you use the website.
This may include information you provide directly, such as:
- Your name and email address when contacting us
- Your email address when subscribing to the Poker Type newsletter
- Your email address when requesting a Poker DNA result
- Information submitted through website forms
- Information provided when leaving a comment, where comments are enabled
We may also collect technical and usage information automatically, including information about your browser, device, pages visited, approximate geographic location and how you interact with the website.
Poker DNA
Poker Type operates the Poker DNA interactive poker personality tool.
If you choose to receive your Poker DNA result by email, we use the email address you provide to deliver that result.
Providing an email address for Poker DNA does not automatically subscribe you to the Poker Type newsletter or other marketing emails.
Information generated through your use of Poker DNA may also be processed as necessary to operate the tool and provide your result.
Email Newsletter
Visitors can separately choose to subscribe to the Poker Type email newsletter.
When you subscribe, we collect the information provided through the newsletter signup form, including your email address.
Poker Type currently uses MailPoet to manage newsletter subscriptions and email delivery.
Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails.
Submitting an email address elsewhere on Poker Type, including for a Poker DNA result, does not by itself constitute consent to receive the Poker Type newsletter.
Analytics
Poker Type uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source and interactions with the website.
We use this information to understand website performance, identify popular content and improve Poker Type for readers.
Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy policies and data practices.
Google Search Console
Poker Type uses Google Search Console to monitor how the website performs in Google Search.
Search Console provides aggregated information about matters such as search queries, impressions, clicks and website performance.
We use this information to understand how Poker Type content is discovered through Google Search and to improve the website.
Cookies
Poker Type and services used by the website may use cookies or similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s device that can be used to remember preferences, operate website functionality, measure website usage and support other features.
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with Poker Type.
If comments or user accounts are enabled, WordPress may also use cookies to remember information or maintain login sessions.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how certain website features operate.
Comments
Where comments are enabled, Poker Type may collect the information entered into the comment form as well as technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to assist with spam detection and website security.
An anonymized string generated from an email address may be provided to Gravatar to determine whether the commenter uses that service.
After a comment is approved, a Gravatar profile image may be publicly visible alongside the comment where applicable.
Contact Forms
When you contact Poker Type through a website form, we use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and for reasonable administrative purposes associated with that enquiry.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.
Embedded Content
Poker Type articles may contain embedded content from third-party websites, including videos, social media posts and other media.
Embedded content can behave in the same way as visiting the third-party website directly.
Those services may collect information about visitors, use cookies or similar technologies, and record interactions with embedded content according to their own privacy policies.
Affiliate Links
Poker Type may use affiliate links on some pages.
An affiliate partner or tracking service may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that a visitor reached its website through Poker Type and determine whether a qualifying action subsequently occurred.
Further information about Poker Type’s commercial relationships is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.
How We Use Information
Information collected through Poker Type may be used to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Provide requested services such as Poker DNA results
- Send newsletters when a visitor has specifically subscribed
- Respond to enquiries
- Understand website traffic and readership
- Improve our content and website
- Detect spam, abuse and security problems
- Maintain appropriate administrative and business records
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use an email address submitted solely for a Poker DNA result to automatically enroll that person in the Poker Type newsletter.
Who We Share Information With
Poker Type does not sell readers’ personal information.
Information may be processed by third-party service providers where necessary to operate the website and its services. These may include website hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics providers, email delivery services and services used for embedded content.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights or operation of Poker Type.
How Long We Keep Information
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security and administrative requirements.
Different types of information may therefore have different retention periods.
Newsletter information may be retained while a person remains subscribed and as reasonably necessary to maintain records of subscriptions and unsubscribe requests.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may give you rights relating to your personal information.
These can include rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, and in some circumstances to object to or restrict particular forms of processing.
Newsletter subscribers can withdraw their marketing consent by using the unsubscribe option provided in Poker Type emails.
To make a privacy request, contact Poker Type through our Contact page.
We may need to verify a request before providing, changing or deleting personal information.
