Golden Sportsbooks (hereinafter referred to as "We," "Us," "Our," or the "Publisher") is dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information through the policies and practices outlined in this Privacy Policy (the "Policy"). This Policy delineates the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you access or use the website located at www.goldensportsbooks.com (the "Site" or "Website"), as well as our practices for collecting, utilizing, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing such information.

This Policy applies to information we collect:

  • Through the Site, including both desktop and mobile versions.
  • Via email, text messages, or other electronic communications between you and the Publisher.
  • When you engage with our advertisements or applications on third-party websites or services that link to this Policy.
  • When you interact with the Site through third-party social media platforms.

This Policy does not apply to information collected:

  • Offline or through any other means, including other websites operated by the Publisher or third parties (including affiliates and subsidiaries).
  • By third parties (including our affiliates and subsidiaries) through applications or content, including advertisements, that may link to or be accessible from the Site.

We strongly encourage you to read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we handle it. By accessing or using the Site, you signify your agreement to this Policy and consent to our collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of your personal information as described herein. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, you must refrain from using the Site. We may revise this Policy from time to time at our discretion. Your continued use of the Site following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

1. Are Minors Permitted to Use the Site?

The Site is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. You may only access the Site or register an account if you are at least 18 years old and have attained the age of majority in your jurisdiction. The Publisher strictly prohibits access by persons who do not meet these age requirements. Minors are not permitted to access the Site or utilize its services under any circumstances.

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or market to children, minors, or anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not submit any information to us and must immediately exit the Site. Should we become aware that a person under 18 has registered with the Site or provided personal information, we will take immediate steps to terminate that account. If an account is terminated due to the user being underage, we may retain the user's email address and IP address to prevent circumvention of our age restrictions through the creation of new accounts.

We have implemented measures to secure your Personal Information against accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. All information you provide is stored on secure servers behind firewalls, and payment transactions are encrypted using SSL technology.

Be cautious when sharing information in public areas of the Site, as it may be viewed by other users.

This Policy is designed for users in the United States.

We take reasonable steps to protect your privacy, and by using our services, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in the U.S. or other countries where our affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers operate.

8. Do Not Track Policy

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a browser setting that signals your preference not to have certain information about your webpage visits collected across websites. We provide opt-out options to give you meaningful control over your information.
