What We Collect (And Why You Should Care)
Look, nobody actually reads privacy policies. I get it. They’re boring legal documents written in language designed to protect companies, not inform users. So I’m going to make this as straightforward as possible.
REKKR Gaming Solutions Ltd. (that’s us, operating manbitesshark.com) collects some information about you when you use our site. Here’s what, why, and what we do with it.
Information We Collect
Stuff you give us directly:
- Email address (if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us)
- Name (if you fill out a contact form)
- Any information you include in messages or comments
Stuff collected automatically:
- IP address and general location (city/province level, not your exact address)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages you visit on our site and how long you stay
- Where you came from (referral source)
- Clicks on our casino affiliate links
Cookies and tracking:
We use cookies. Yeah, I know, everyone hates them. But they help us understand how people use the site and which casino reviews are actually useful versus which ones nobody reads.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features might not work properly if you do.
Why We Collect This Stuff
We’re not data-hoarding weirdos. We collect information for specific reasons:
Analytics: Understanding which content is useful helps us create more of what people actually want and less of what nobody reads.
Affiliate tracking: When you click casino links, we need to track that so we get paid when you sign up. That’s how we make money and keep this site running.
Communication: If you email us or subscribe to our newsletter, we obviously need your email address to respond or send updates.
Security: IP addresses and device info help us identify suspicious activity, spam, and potential security threats.
What We DON’T Do With Your Data
Let’s be clear about what doesn’t happen here:
- We don’t sell your email address to spam lists
- We don’t share your information with casinos unless you click through and sign up directly with them
- We don’t track you across other websites (beyond standard affiliate tracking when you click our casino links)
- We don’t collect credit card information or financial data (that happens on casino sites, not ours)
Third Parties Who Get Your Info
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic. Google collects data according to their own privacy policy. If that bothers you, install a browser extension to block it.
Affiliate networks: When you click casino links, affiliate networks track those clicks to credit us with referrals. They collect basic info like IP address and device type.
Email provider: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use an email service provider (currently Mailchimp) who stores your email address according to their privacy policy.
Casinos you sign up with: Once you click through to a casino and create an account, that casino’s privacy policy applies—not ours. We don’t control what they do with your information.
Your Rights & Choices
You have options:
Unsubscribe: Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. Use it anytime.
Request data deletion: Email us and we’ll delete your email address and any other information we have about you (though we might keep anonymized analytics data).
Disable cookies: Most browsers let you block cookies. Fair warning: some site features might break.
Opt out of tracking: Install browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin to block tracking scripts.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Our site uses HTTPS encryption, our hosting provider has security measures in place, and we don’t store sensitive financial information.
That said, no system is 100% secure. If there’s a data breach, we’ll notify affected users as required by Canadian law.
Changes to This Policy
We’ll update this privacy policy when our practices change or when laws require it. Major changes will be noted with a new “Last Updated” date.
