Privacy Policy

Introduction

Effective date: March 31, 2026. This policy covers how our small research group handles data from visitors to big-bass-bonanza.ie. Three of us run this as a hobby project after meeting at a local math club. We track RTP data for slots like the one featured on our homepage. Coordination occurs through a private Discord server where we share log files to verify individual collections. No gambling takes place here. We provide information only. [email protected] serves as our contact point. Read on for details about data practices. We keep things minimal since resources limit us.

Your visit sends basic details to our server. We log these for site operation. No accounts exist. No sign-ups required. Interaction stays anonymous unless you email us. Policy applies to all site areas. EU rules including GDPR shape our approach given the .ie domain.

Information We Collect

Categories fall into non-personal and personal data. Non-personal includes IP address, browser type, device info, pages visited, time stamps, and referral sources. These help monitor site health and traffic patterns. Personal data comes only if you contact us via email. Then we receive your email address and message content. No names or other identifiers collected otherwise. Forms absent from site. No newsletters or registrations.

For research, we gather public RTP data separately. Site visitors unrelated to that process. Logs from our server include access times and user agents. Approximate location derives from IP. Never precise geodata. Cookies store session info. No persistent identifiers unless browser settings allow. We avoid third-party trackers to match our scale.

How We Collect Information

Collection happens automatically via web server logs. Each page load records IP, user agent, timestamp, and requested URL. Analytics use basic server-side logging. No external services like Google Analytics. Cookies set by our site for functionality. Session cookies expire on browser close. They track navigation within visit.

Email collection occurs through contact link to [email protected]. Discord mentions stay internal. No public forms capture data. HTTPS encrypts transmissions. We review logs manually for anomalies. Research data collection uses individual tools not connected to site visitors.

How We Use Your Information

Server logs diagnose technical issues. High traffic spots maintenance needs. IP patterns detect abuse. Email responses address inquiries about RTP findings or site info. Non-personal data aggregates for performance reports. No profiles built on individuals. Usage stays operational.

Research benefits indirectly. Site traffic informs content focus like Big bass bonanza RTP updates. Emails guide research priorities. Data never fuels ads or sales. Hobby status keeps purposes narrow.

Sharing Your Information

No sharing occurs. Team of three accesses logs via shared hosting panel. Discord shares anonymized research only. No vendors process data. No sales or trades. Law enforcement requests handled per Irish law. Rare and justified cases only. No international partners.

Internal access limited. Each member views own logs primarily. Verification on Discord anonymized. Emails read by relevant person. No databases store personal info long-term.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies enable site function. Session cookie 'session_id' lasts visit duration. Stores no personal data. Essential for page continuity. Browser settings control acceptance. Opt-out possible but may break navigation.

No advertising cookies. No analytics cookies from third parties. Local storage unused. Fingerprinting avoided. Policy lists all: only session cookie. Review browser tools for details. Future changes noted here first. RTP tracking uses offline tools separate from site cookies.

Table of cookies:

Data Security

Shared hosting secures site. HTTPS everywhere. Passwords strong with 2FA where possible. Logs encrypted at rest? Hosting provider handles. Access logs rotated monthly. Old ones deleted.

Email via provider with encryption. Discord private server. Backups infrequent. Breach response follows GDPR notification rules. Small scale reduces risks. Regular updates applied.

CTA Placement Note

This separates main sections. CTA appears here in page render.

Data Retention

Logs kept 30 days. Emails archived 2 years or until resolved. Research data indefinite for verification. Deletion automatic for logs. Manual for emails post-response. No personal data retained beyond need.

Requests for deletion honored per rights section. Retention minimal by design.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As EU site, GDPR applies. Access right: email for copy of your data. Rectification: correct inaccuracies. Erasure: delete where possible. Restriction: limit processing. Portability: receive data format. Object: to processing. Withdraw consent: though minimal consent used.

Exercise via [email protected]. Response within month. Appeals to Data Protection Commission Ireland. No automated decisions. Rights detailed at dpc.ie.

Verification needed for security. ID proof requested rarely. Transparent process. Hobby limits formal DPO. Team handles collectively.

Children's Privacy

Changes to This Policy

Updates posted here. Date changes. Major revisions emailed to known contacts. Check periodically. Continued use agrees.
