Freaky Gaming Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Freaky Gaming (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit or use our website and related pages (collectively, the “Site”). It also describes your choices and rights regarding your information.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.

1. Who We Are

Freaky Gaming is an informational and editorial website. We publish reviews, comparisons, guides, and promotional information related to sweepstakes-style gaming and other entertainment content. We are not a gambling operator and we do not process or redeem sweepstakes coins, prizes, or winnings.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

You may choose to provide information to us when you interact with the Site, such as when you contact us or subscribe to communications.

  • Contact details (for example, your name and email address) if you email us or submit a form.
  • Any information you include in your message, such as questions, feedback, or requests.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you access the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information:

  • Device and usage data (for example, IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages).
  • Approximate location derived from IP address (for example, city/region).
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

2.3 Information from third parties

We may receive information from third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and affiliate partners when you interact with their links or content on the Site. This typically includes technical and campaign information (for example, a click ID or referral source) rather than direct identifiers.

3. How We Use Information

We use information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving the Site (including troubleshooting and performance).
  • Understanding how visitors use the Site (analytics, measurement, and reporting).
  • Responding to your messages and support requests.
  • Sending communications you request (for example, updates you opt into), and providing administrative notices.
  • Displaying and measuring advertisements and affiliate performance.
  • Preventing fraud, abuse, security incidents, and complying with legal obligations.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, understand traffic, and measure marketing and affiliate performance. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

5.1 Types of cookies we use

  • Essential cookies: required for core functionality and security.
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand how the Site is used (for example, page visits and interactions).
  • Advertising/targeting cookies: used by us or partners to show and measure relevant ads.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies: used to attribute referrals when you click affiliate links.

5.2 Your controls

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, consent tools on the Site. If you disable cookies, some features may not function properly.

6. Affiliate Links and Advertising

Some pages on the site contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and take an action with a third party (such as creating an account or making a purchase), we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals.

We may also work with advertising partners that collect information through cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and improve ads. You can learn more about opting out of targeted advertising in Section 10. See more information on our affiliate disclosure page.

7. How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: vendors that help us operate the Site (for example, hosting, analytics, email tools). They may access information only to perform services for us.
  • Affiliate and advertising partners: for referral attribution, campaign measurement, and ad delivery, typically via cookies and identifiers rather than direct personal details.
  • Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, or investigate misuse.
  • Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may link to third-party websites or services (including operators, platforms, payment providers, and social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Your interactions with third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies.

9. Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we may retain certain records to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes.

10. Your Privacy Rights (U.S.)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These rights can include:

  • Right to know/access: request information about the personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
  • Right to delete: request deletion of certain personal information, subject to exceptions.
  • Right to correct: request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to opt out: opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information (as defined by applicable law).
  • Right to non-discrimination: you will not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

10.1 California notice (CCPA/CPRA)

Under California law, “sale” and “share” can include disclosing information to advertising and analytics partners in exchange for value, including for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose identifiers and online activity information (such as cookie identifiers and browsing interactions) to analytics, advertising, and affiliate partners.
To opt out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising, you can:

  • Use browser or device controls to limit cookies and advertising IDs.
  • Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) where supported; we will process GPC as an opt-out signal where required by law.
  • Contact us using the details in Section 12 with your request.

10.2 Other U.S. state privacy rights

Residents of certain states may have similar rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of targeted advertising. We will respond to verifiable requests as required by applicable law.

10.3 How to submit a request

To exercise your rights, contact us at support@freakygaming.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” For security, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of California residents where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at support@freakygaming.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, contact us.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
