We maintain transparency to help users make informed choices while browsing or using information on our platform.

You also acknowledge that your data may be processed for legitimate purposes such as analytics, communication, and service improvement. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, subject to legal or regulatory obligations.
2. Definitions and Terminology
2.1 Key Terms Defined
In this policy:
- “Company” refers to the team managing luckystar-india.org and its content.
- “User” means any person who visits or interacts with our website.
- “Personal Data” includes information that identifies or could be used to identify an individual, such as email address, location, or browsing behaviour.
- “Cookies” are small text files used to collect technical and behavioural information.
- “Service” refers to all content, evaluations, tools, and comparisons provided on our platform.
2.2 Explanation of Terms Used
We use terms like “real-money casino,” “bonus wagering,” and “RTP (Return to Player)” within our content. These are industry-standard terms common in the world of gambling. Our use of terminology reflects the high level of expertise and accuracy expected from gambling comparison platforms.
3. Collection and Use of Personal Data
3.1 Types of Data Collected
We gather both:
- Personal Data: Voluntarily shared by users, including contact information when filling forms or subscribing to newsletters.
- Usage Data: Automatically collected details like pages visited, time spent on site, game preferences, device type, and operating system.
3.2 Automatic Data Collection
When you interact with our platform, certain data such as IP address, browser type, referral source, visit time, and device identifiers are logged automatically. These technical details help us understand user habits and optimise the site for performance and relevance.
3.3 Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tools to remember user preferences, track sessions, and enhance content delivery. For example, cookies help us detect if a user prefers casino guides over sports betting or is more interested in mobile gaming platforms. Users can manage cookie preferences through their browser settings.
4. Purposes of Processing Personal Data
4.1 Ensuring Service Functionality
We process data to ensure the smooth operation of our website and its core features. This includes delivering timely updates about online casino platforms, displaying regional promotions, and tailoring content based on user interests. Without this processing, we cannot offer personalised comparisons or reliable guidance about gambling operators.
4.2 Contract Execution and Legal Compliance
While our website does not require direct contracts with users, data may be processed to comply with legal obligations, respond to requests, or collaborate with affiliates. For instance, we might need to verify that a visitor is eligible to access gambling-related content based on age and location.
4.3 Communication with Users
We may use your data to send newsletters, promotional updates, or alerts related to new casino offers, bonus updates, or operator reviews. Our communication also includes support for user inquiries, such as requests about game types, wagering requirements, or safe gambling practices.
4.4 Service Analysis and Optimisation
User data allows us to conduct internal analytics—like identifying which slot reviews are most read or what payment methods are in demand. This insight enables us to refine our editorial strategies, improve SEO targeting, and deliver content that resonates with real casino enthusiasts in India.
4.5 Data Sharing with Partners and Affiliates
In some cases, aggregated or anonymised user data may be shared with advertising partners or affiliate programs to measure campaign performance or customise offers. For example, if a user clicks on a link related to a casino with a welcome bonus, we might track that action for commission purposes—but never in a way that personally identifies the user.
5. Storage and Deletion of Personal Data
5.1 Retention Period
Data is stored only for as long as needed to fulfil its intended purpose. For example, if you subscribe to our updates, your email address remains in our database until you unsubscribe. Analytics data, on the other hand, may be stored longer in anonymised form to study long-term trends.
5.2 User-Initiated Deletion
You can request that we delete your data at any time. Simply contact us using the methods outlined in the final section. After verifying your identity, we will permanently erase your data from our systems unless legally required to retain it.
5.3 Legal and Security Exceptions
Certain information may be kept beyond standard retention periods if necessary for compliance with Indian laws, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution. For example, IP logs related to suspicious activity on our casino comparison pages may be retained for investigation purposes.
6. Data Disclosure and Third-Party Access
6.1 Sharing with Third Parties
We do not sell user data. However, we may share data with trusted service providers for tasks like email distribution, analytics, or affiliate tracking. These partners are contractually bound to process data securely and only as instructed by us.
6.2 Company Transactions
If luckystar-india.org ever undergoes structural changes like a merger, acquisition, or sale, user data may be transferred as part of the assets. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users and ensure continued protection of their data.
6.3 Government Disclosure Obligations
In rare circumstances, we may be required to disclose user data to Indian regulatory authorities, law enforcement, or courts. This happens only when legally mandated and always within the boundaries of applicable privacy laws.
6.4 Protection of Rights and Integrity
We may disclose data when necessary to enforce our terms of use, prevent fraud, or protect the rights, safety, or reputation of our platform and its users. For instance, repeated abuse of our casino bonus pages or automated scraping of content may prompt an investigation involving IP data.
7. Security of Personal Data
7.1 Data Protection Measures
Our team uses both technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. This includes secure server environments, encryption where appropriate, restricted access to data by authorised personnel only, and regular audits of our data-handling practices. For example, contact forms related to casino inquiries are processed via secure HTTPS connections to prevent interception.
7.2 Internet Transmission Risks
While we strive to protect user data, it’s important to understand that no method of online transmission or electronic storage is ever completely secure. Users should exercise caution when submitting information through public networks or shared devices. We are not responsible for data breaches that occur outside our direct control, such as those involving third-party ISPs or browser vulnerabilities.
8. Children’s Privacy
8.1 Policy for Users Under 13
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or process data from minors. Given that our content focuses on gambling and online casinos—which are age-restricted activities under Indian law—our services are strictly aimed at individuals aged 18 and above.
8.2 Parental Requests for Deletion
If a parent or guardian believes that their child has provided us with personal information, they are encouraged to contact us immediately. Upon verification, we will promptly delete the data from our systems. We take the responsibility of protecting minors seriously and ensure full compliance with applicable child protection regulations.
9. External Links and Third-Party Services

Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any site they visit through our platform, especially before registering or making deposits.
10. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Any significant changes—such as new data processing activities, added third-party integrations, or legal requirements—will be clearly communicated on our site. For instance, if we begin analysing user interactions with live casino reviews more deeply, we will update this document accordingly.
10.2 Effective Date of Changes
Changes take effect from the moment they are published on luckystar-india.org. Users are encouraged to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about how their data is handled. Continued use of our services after changes are posted signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
