Privacy Policy
MidnightBlack · Last updated: August 2026
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: When you create an account, we collect your email address and the username, bio, and avatar you choose. Forum posts and replies you submit are stored along with your profile.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we collect limited technical data such as your IP address, approximate location (country/region/city), device and browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. This helps us understand how visitors use the site and where our traffic comes from.
Outbound link clicks: When you click an affiliate or casino link, we record which link you clicked so we can report on performance. No personal details beyond your anonymous session are tied to these clicks.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain your account, profile, and forum activity.
- Moderate guest posts and forum content.
- Improve the site, its content, and its performance.
- Measure affiliate link and campaign performance.
- Understand visitor geography and sources of traffic.
- Respond to enquiries sent to our contact address.
3. Cookies & Local Storage
We use browser local storage to remember your language preference and, if you are an administrator, your admin session. We may use analytics cookies to understand site usage. You can clear local storage and cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the site (such as hosting, authentication, and analytics providers) under appropriate safeguards, and when required by law. Public content you post in the forum or blog is visible to other users and search engines.
5. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure
MidnightBlack contains affiliate links to third-party casino and gambling operators. We may earn a commission if you sign up or play through these links. These sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. Links to external sites are marked with rel="sponsored" where applicable.
6. Data Security & Retention
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. Your account is secured with authentication managed by our hosting provider. We retain account and content data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, and longer where required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also close your account and request removal of your personal data.
8. Responsible Gambling
Online gambling can be addictive. MidnightBlack encourages responsible play and provides information and links to support organisations. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, seek help from a recognised support service in your country.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
