Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the way Chicken Road 2 (“the Site”, “we”, “us”) treats personal data when you browse the Site, read what we publish, fill in a form, or click an affiliate link.

We are an English-language editorial and affiliate publication. Our work covers Chicken Road 2 itself, how the game plays, and the third-party casinos that offer it. We do not operate any gambling service, keep player balances, or move deposits and withdrawals.

1. What this policy covers

The personal data described here may be processed through:

• visits to pages and the server requests behind them;
• analytics and cookie-based measurement;
• the tracking attached to affiliate links;
• things readers send us, such as comments or contact messages;
• security, moderation, and anti-abuse checks.

2. Information we might collect

What we process depends on how you engage with the Site, and may include:

• Technical details such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, time zone, the URL that referred you, and request logs.
• Usage signals such as which pages you open, how long a session lasts, how far you scroll, the outbound links you click, and similar engagement data.
• Cookie and consent records such as whether you accepted or declined optional cookies and which language edition you viewed.
• Affiliate attribution data such as the timing of a click, the referral path, and campaign parameters that show whether a partner referral began here.
• Information you provide such as a name, nickname, email address, and message text when you contact us or leave a comment where that is enabled.
• Moderation and security data used to spot spam, bots, fraud, or misuse of the Site.

We never open gambling accounts on your behalf, and we do not gather your card details, casino wallet balances, or KYC documents through this Site.

3. Why we process it

Personal data is used to:

• run, secure, and refine the Site;
• learn how readers move through our pages and which guides help;
• publish, moderate, or take down reader comments;
• answer messages and support enquiries;
• track affiliate referrals and how partner links perform commercially;
• uphold our Terms and shield the Site from spam and malicious activity;
• meet legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory duties where they apply.

4. The legal grounds we rely on

Where GDPR or a comparable privacy law is in force, one or more of these grounds applies:

• Legitimate interests for running the Site, analytics that do not need consent, fraud prevention, editorial measurement, and affiliate reporting.
• Consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies where the law requires it.
• Steps taken at your request when you write to us and expect a response.
• Legal obligation where the law compels us to keep or hand over data.

5. Cookies and affiliate tracking

The Site may set cookies or use similar technologies for:

• core site functions;
• recalling language or consent decisions;
• traffic measurement and analytics;
• crediting affiliate referrals to partner casinos.

Affiliate links may pass through tracking parameters or network redirects so a partner can tell a visit came from us. None of that changes what you pay. Our Cookie Policy and Disclaimer go into greater detail.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. On a limited basis, we may share data with:

• providers handling hosting, analytics, security, and anti-spam;
• affiliate networks or partners that require referral data to count clicks or conversions;
• professional advisers, auditors, or insurers where genuinely needed;
• authorities, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement bodies where the law demands it or it is needed to defend legal rights.

Third-party casinos, payment services, and app stores operate their own systems and privacy practices. Once you leave us and register elsewhere, those policies govern what you do there.

7. Sending data abroad

Some of our providers may handle data outside the country where you live. When they do, we expect a lawful transfer route and suitable safeguards to be in place, whether through adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or an equivalent protective arrangement.

8. How long we keep it

We hold data only for as long as the original purpose reasonably requires, including:

• server and security logs for operational and anti-abuse review;
• analytics records for traffic and content reporting;
• comment and contact records for moderation, correspondence, and an audit trail;
• compliance records where the law requires retention or a dispute needs resolving.

How long varies between systems and providers. Once data is no longer needed, we erase it, anonymise it, or allow it to lapse under the provider’s own retention rules.

9. The rights you may hold

Where applicable privacy law grants them, you may be entitled to:

• request access to the personal data we hold about you;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have data deleted in certain situations;
• object to processing that rests on legitimate interests;
• have processing restricted in certain situations;
• withdraw consent where consent is what we rely on;
• lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority.

To act on any of these, use the contact details shown on our authors page.

10. Young people

This Site is meant for adults of 18 or over. We do not deliberately build it for children or knowingly gather personal data from minors.

11. Updates to this policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy when our tools, providers, or editorial workflow change. The lastmod date near the top of the page shows when it was last updated.
