Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the operator of gamblingtaxhelp.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use gamblingtaxhelp.com, including the informational website and the Session Tracker app when available (together, the “Service”).
We believe in being straightforward about data practices. We do not sell your data. We collect only what we need to provide the Service.
This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service. Our Legal Disclaimer provides additional information about the nature of our content.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
Email signups. If you sign up for our early access list or launch notifications, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name.
Account information. When you create a Session Tracker account, we receive basic profile information from your social login provider (such as your name and email address from Google or Facebook) or your email address if you use magic link login. We do not store passwords.
Gambling session data. When you use the Session Tracker, you enter session details including:
- Dates and times
- Locations (casino names, sportsbook apps, etc.)
- Game types
- Buy-in and cash-out amounts
- Optional notes
This data is yours. We store it to provide the Service.
Information Collected Automatically
Analytics data. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the informational website. GA4 collects information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser type, device type, and general geographic region using cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information by default. We do not use GA4 within the Session Tracker.
Device location. The Session Tracker offers optional GPS-based location detection to auto-fill which casino you are at. This feature is opt-in, requires your explicit permission through your browser or device, and can be disabled at any time in your settings. Location data is used only to suggest a casino name and is not stored separately from your session records.
Server logs. Our hosting infrastructure may automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and request timestamps. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting and are retained for a limited time.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the Service: store your sessions, sync across devices, generate gambling diary exports
- Communicate with you: send launch notifications (if you signed up), account-related emails, and important service updates
- Improve the Service: understand usage patterns through analytics to make the site and app better
- Maintain security: detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations: respond to lawful requests from authorities when required
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your gambling session data for advertising or marketing purposes.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device by your browser. We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies as follows:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the Service to function, such as keeping you logged in to the Session Tracker. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the Service.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish unique visitors and track browsing patterns on the informational website. These cookies help us understand which content is useful and how visitors find our site.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser’s cookie settings.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Service. For more information, consult your browser’s help documentation.

5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure in the United States. We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit: all data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS/HTTPS
- Encryption at rest: stored data is encrypted using Azure’s built-in encryption
- Access controls: access to user data is restricted and limited to service operation
- No password storage: we use social login and magic links, so we never store your password
While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach that compromises your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law, including Nevada NRS 603A.220. Notification will be made in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay.
6. Data Retention and Deletion

Deleted accounts. When you delete your account, we permanently remove your personal data and gambling session records from our active systems within 30 days. Data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before those backups are rotated out.
Email signups. If you signed up for launch notifications, we retain your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it.
Analytics data. Google Analytics data is retained according to our GA4 data retention settings (14 months) and is not tied to your Session Tracker account.
