Legal Bases for Processing
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or its Australian-equivalent privacy principles apply, dirtdrifts.com relies on the following legal bases: consent, which you provide when subscribing to our mailing list or accepting non-essential cookies; and legitimate interests, which cover our use of analytics data, affiliate tracking, and site security measures where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights. Where we are required to comply with a legal obligation, that obligation itself forms the legal basis for processing. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Dirtdrifts.com contains affiliate links to online casino operators, including FastPay Casino. When you click such a link, you will be directed to an independently operated third-party website governed by its own privacy policy and terms. Dirtdrifts.com is not responsible for the data practices of those operators. We also integrate third-party analytics providers who may process data on our behalf under strict data-processing agreements. Dirtdrifts.com does not sell your personal information to any third party.
