Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Interpunk (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit interpunk.com (the “Site”).

Interpunk is a USA-focused affiliate and editorial website that publishes informational content about iGaming brands and topics like online poker in Texas, Texas Hold’em poker online, payment methods (cards, e-wallets, crypto), bonuses, site safety, and responsible gambling resources. We do not run a poker room, accept wagers, process deposits/withdrawals, or provide player accounts on this Site. Some links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn compensation if you click and later sign up or make a transaction on a third-party website.

1) Who we are & what this policy covers

This policy applies to information collected through interpunk.com, including when you:

• browse pages and read articles,

• click outbound links to poker sites, casinos, tools, or services,

• view ads on the Site,

• interact with standard site features and analytics/advertising tags.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites you visit via our links. Those sites control their own privacy practices and may collect data you provide to them (including identity verification and payment details).

2) What we collect

A) Contact details

Based on your current Site options:

• Newsletter: No

• Contact form: No

• Comments/UGC: No

So, we generally do not request direct contact details (like name, email, phone number, or mailing address) through this Site.

B) Browsing and device data (automatically collected)

When you visit the Site, we (and service providers that help run it) may collect:

• IP address (often used to estimate general location such as city/state),

• pages viewed, time spent, scroll depth, and click activity (including link-out clicks),

• referrer URL (the page you came from) and traffic source details,

• device type, browser type, operating system, language settings,

• cookie identifiers or similar device/browser identifiers.

C) Cookies/trackers for analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution

We use cookies and similar technologies (for example, pixels and scripts) to:

• understand Site traffic and performance (analytics),

• deliver and measure advertising,

• track affiliate referrals (so partners know a click came from Interpunk).

This may include:

• UTM parameters (campaign tags),

• click IDs and referral IDs in outbound links,

• events such as “link clicked,” “page viewed,” and “conversion reported” (often aggregated or limited).

D) Sensitive personal information

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, precise geolocation, health data, or biometrics) through this Site.

If you choose to register, verify identity (KYC), or make deposits/withdrawals on a third-party poker platform, that information is collected and controlled by that third party, not Interpunk.

3) How we use information

We use information to:

• operate, maintain, and secure the Site,

• prevent abuse, spam, and fraud (including suspicious traffic patterns),

• measure which pages perform well (for example, content on online poker Texas, payment methods, withdrawals, and bonuses),

• improve our content, site structure, and user experience,

• deliver, cap, and measure ads (including frequency capping),

• track outbound link performance and attribute affiliate commissions,

• comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

4) Cookies & tracking

What cookies and similar tools do

• Cookies store small pieces of info that help websites function and remember preferences.

• Pixels/tags help measure traffic, ad effectiveness, and conversions.

• Affiliate parameters help attribute a click and potential commission if you later take an action on a partner site.

How to control cookies

You can control cookies through:

• your browser settings (block/delete cookies),

• private/incognito browsing,

• device-level ad settings (where available).

If you block cookies, some features may work differently, analytics may be less accurate, ads may be less relevant, and affiliate attribution may not function as intended.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out of “sale/sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising where feasible.

5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates

Interpunk uses typical categories of vendors and tools, such as:

• analytics providers (to understand visits and performance),

• advertising partners (to show and measure ads),

• affiliate networks/programs (to track referrals and conversions).

We do not list specific vendors here to avoid guessing your exact tech stack.

Affiliate disclosure: Outbound links may contain tracking parameters. If you click and later sign up or transact with a third-party operator, we may receive compensation. This supports the Site and does not usually increase your cost.

6) Sharing of information

We may share information in the following ways:

A) Service providers

We share information with vendors that help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, security monitoring, performance tools, and similar services).

B) Advertising and affiliate partners

We may share or enable the collection of certain identifiers and event data (like cookie IDs, IP-derived region, ad events, link clicks, and conversion signals) to:

• deliver and measure advertising,

• attribute affiliate referrals and commissions,

• detect fraud and invalid traffic.

C) Legal requests

We may disclose information if required by law or a lawful request, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

No sale for money: We do not sell personal information for money.
Possible “sharing” under certain laws: We may “share” identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising/measurement (as defined under laws like California’s CPRA).

7) Your privacy rights (US states)

California (CPRA)

California residents may have the right to:

• know/access what personal information is collected and disclosed,

• request deletion,

• request correction,

• opt out of “sale” or “sharing,”

• receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising rights.

We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that would require offering a “limit use” option.

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah

Depending on your state, you may have rights to:

• access and delete personal data,

• correct inaccuracies (in some states),

• opt out of targeted advertising,

• appeal a denied request.

How to exercise your rights

You didn’t provide a contact email or a dedicated “Do Not Sell or Share” URL. To submit requests, use the contact method available on interpunk.com.

To help us verify your request, include:

• your state of residence,

• what you’re requesting (access, deletion, correction, opt-out),

• the approximate dates you visited the Site,

• relevant details that help us locate data (please don’t send sensitive info).

Appeals: If we deny your request, you can appeal by contacting us again and including “Appeal” in the subject or first line of your message.

8) Data retention & security

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Typical ranges:

• analytics data: up to 24 months,

• server/security logs: up to 12 months,

• affiliate attribution data: commonly up to 24 months (varies by partner rules).

Security

We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine updates. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults 21+ due to iGaming content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. If you believe a minor submitted information through the Site, contact us via interpunk.com and we will address it.

10) Third-party links & disclaimers

Our Site links to third-party poker and casino platforms and other external websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their privacy policies before registering, verifying identity, or making payments.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post updates on this page and change the “Last updated” date.
