Privacy Policy for Aviator South Africa Guides
This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of personal information we receive from users. Our commitment is to manage your data with transparency and integrity, in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the principles set forth by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) relevant to our South African audience. By accessing and using our website, you signify your acceptance of this policy. If you disagree with these terms, please refrain from using our services.
Information We Collect
We collect only essential information to provide services, improve content on Aviator SA gambling, and meet legal obligations. This information falls into two main categories:
Information You Voluntarily Provide (Direct Data)
This information is collected when you interact directly with our site, for instance, by subscribing to a newsletter, leaving comments on an article about Aviator strategies, or submitting an enquiry.
- Contact Data: Your name, email address, and any personal details included in your message or comment submission;
- Survey/Feedback Data: Information you provide when participating in optional surveys or feedback forms about your experience with South African casinos or game reviews;
- Opt-In Preferences: Your specific preferences regarding communication frequency and content type.
Automatically Collected Information (Usage Data)
When you browse our site, non-identifiable technical data is collected automatically to analyze site performance and user behaviour.
- Device and Technical Data: Information about the device you use (e.g., computer, tablet, mobile phone), including the type of operating system, browser type, and screen resolution;
- Usage and Session Data: Details of your visits, including the pages viewed, the time spent on specific pages (e.g., guides on Aviator betting limits or responsible gambling), the sequence of pages visited, and the dates and times of access;
- Referral Data: Information on the external site or search query (e.g., “best Aviator casino South Africa”) that led you to our website;
- IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is logged for security, geographic location analysis (to confirm our South African focus), and to distinguish unique visitors.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use collected information solely for these legitimate purposes:
- To Operate and Maintain the Website: Ensuring our content (especially Aviator tips) is delivered effectively and securely across all devices;
- Service Improvement: Analysing usage patterns to identify popular topics, performance issues, and areas requiring more detailed coverage (e.g., clarifying FICA verification for SA betting sites);
- Communication: Responding to your queries, sending requested newsletters or updates, and notifying you about important changes to our services or policies;
- Marketing and SEO Analysis: Understanding which of our pages on South African Aviator sites are most engaging, allowing us to refine our SEO strategies and content structure;
- Affiliate Tracking (Crucial for Business Model): We use technical data (like click IDs) to track referrals to licensed South African casinos and Aviator platforms. This allows us to receive compensation for valid referrals, which sustains our free service. Crucially, we do not receive any direct personal or banking information from the casino once you click away.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We are committed to maintaining your trust. We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to outside parties. We only share data in the following, necessary circumstances:
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms like Google Analytics) to perform specific services on our behalf. These partners are legally bound to protect your data and only use it as instructed by us;
- Legal Compliance: We will disclose information where required to do so by South African law or subpoena, or if we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal processes or protect the rights and safety of our users or the public;
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, who will then be bound by this policy.
Data Security and Retention
We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, or disclosure. This includes utilizing SSL encryption, secure servers, and strict internal access controls for all data related to user activity on our Aviator guides.
We retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements related to our South African operation). Anonymous usage data may be retained indefinitely for aggregated reporting purposes.
Third-Party Links (Affiliate Disclosure)
Our website contains numerous links to external sites, particularly licensed South African Aviator casinos and related betting platforms. These links are provided for your convenience. Once you click on a third-party link, you are leaving our site, and we have no control over the privacy practices of that external website. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, especially before registering or depositing ZAR funds.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are strictly directed to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, which is the minimum legal age for gambling in South Africa. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers immediately.
