Privacy Policy

Last Update: 8 December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Crabfat Magazine (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://crabfatmagazine.com (the “Website”).

Crabfat Magazine is an editorial and affiliate site focused on Florida online casinos, sweepstakes casinos, and related iGaming content. We publish guides on topics like choosing safe Florida-friendly platforms, understanding sweepstakes Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins, comparing bonuses and payment options, and learning about responsible gambling and tax considerations.

This policy covers information we collect when you visit our Website, interact with our content, or engage with our affiliate links. It does not cover how third-party casinos, advertisers, or networks handle your data — they have their own privacy policies.

What we collect

We aim to keep data collection minimal and proportionate to running an informational site.

Information you provide directly

If you email us, we may receive your email address, name (if included), and the content of your message.
We do not run user accounts, comments sections, or newsletter signups by default.

Browsing and device information
When you visit our Website, standard web logs and analytics tools may collect:

IP address and approximate location (city/region level, not precise GPS)
Device type, operating system, and browser type
Pages viewed, time spent on pages, referral URLs, and basic engagement metrics
Technical identifiers such as cookie IDs or similar tracking technologies

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

Understand which guides (for example, reviews of Betwhale, Raging Bull, or sweepstakes casinos) are most helpful
Diagnose errors and protect against abuse
Attribute clicks on affiliate links so our partners know a visitor came from our site

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of information (such as health data, precise location, or government IDs) through this Website.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Website
Analyze traffic patterns so we can see which Florida online casino guides are working and which need improvement
Prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents
Measure and attribute affiliate commissions when you click out to partner casinos or other iGaming brands
Respond to your messages when you contact us

If we ever introduce optional email updates or a newsletter, we’d use your address only to send you those updates, and every message would include an unsubscribe option.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

Cookies & tracking

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We may also use pixels or tracking parameters appended to outbound links (for example, UTM tags or affiliate click IDs). These tools help us:

Remember basic preferences (such as language)
Understand what content is most useful to readers
Track whether an outbound click resulted in a sign-up or purchase, so we can be compensated by partners without charging you more

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

Block or delete cookies entirely
Set your browser to notify you before cookies are stored
Use private/incognito modes for additional privacy

If you’re in a U.S. state that grants additional privacy rights, you may also signal “Do Not Sell or Share” using browser tools like Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where technically feasible, we treat these signals as a request to opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising and similar sharing.

You can also email us at [email protected] if you wish to limit certain types of tracking where possible.

Advertising, analytics & affiliates

We may use:

Analytics tools to understand traffic patterns and improve the site (for example, which Florida casino reviews are most visited).
Advertising and affiliate networks to display ads or track when you click from our Website to a third-party offer.

When you click on a link to an online casino, sportsbook, or similar site, that link may contain an ID so the partner knows you came from Crabfat Magazine. If you sign up or deposit, we may earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay or the bonuses you receive, and it does not give us access to your account or banking details with that third party.

Sharing of information

We may share limited information with:

Service providers that help us run the Website (hosting, security, analytics, email).
Advertising and affiliate partners to measure clicks, conversions, and commissions.
Authorities or legal counsel if required to comply with the law, enforce our Terms, or protect our rights or the safety of others.

We do not sell personal information for money, but some of the above practices may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or measurement under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

Your privacy rights (US states)

Depending on where you live (for example, California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or Utah), you may have rights such as:

Access / know: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Delete: Ask us to delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
Correct: Request correction of inaccurate information about you.
Portability: Receive certain information in a portable format.
Opt out of “sale” or “sharing”: Request that we stop sharing personal information for targeted advertising or similar purposes.
Limit use of sensitive information: We currently do not collect or use sensitive personal information.
Non-discrimination: We will not treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected] with a clear description of your request. We may ask for reasonable information to confirm you are the person to whom the data relates (for example, verifying control of an email address).

If we deny your request and you are in a state that grants appeal rights, you may reply to our decision email with “Appeal” in the subject line, and we will review the matter again.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, such as:

Server logs typically up to 12 months for security and troubleshooting
Aggregated analytics data typically up to 24 months

We use reasonable safeguards — including HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular software updates — to protect information. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.

Children’s privacy

This Website is intended for adults interested in iGaming content, and in practice for people 21 years of age or older, or the minimum legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, please contact [email protected] so we can delete it.

Third-party links & disclaimers

Our articles frequently link to third-party websites, such as online casinos, sweepstakes platforms, and government resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites.

We encourage you to read each site’s own privacy policy and terms before creating an account, depositing funds, or sharing personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as laws and our practices evolve, especially as the Florida online casino landscape changes. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and post the revised version here.

If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice (for example, a brief notice on the homepage).

Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, your privacy rights, or how we handle data, please contact us at:

Email: [email protected]

We’ll do our best to respond in a reasonable time frame.

Not legal advice

This Privacy Policy is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. If you need legal guidance about privacy or data protection, please consult a qualified attorney.
