This policy explains how Maxim88Slots.com ("we", "our", "the site") collects and uses personal data when you visit this website. This site is an independent affiliate guide — we are not Maxim88, and registering at Maxim88 is governed by Maxim88's own privacy policy.
1. Who we are
Maxim88Slots.com is an independent affiliate website providing slot game information, RTP analysis and reviews for Malaysian players. We are not owned by, operated by, or otherwise affiliated with Maxim88's parent company. See our About page for more.
2. What data we collect
We collect only the minimum information needed to operate this site. Specifically:
- Automatically via analytics: anonymised page views, session duration, referrer URL, approximate location (country/region), browser and device type, and outbound clicks on affiliate links. This is collected via Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
- Via server logs (Cloudflare): IP address, user-agent string, request timestamp and HTTP status code. Cloudflare retains these logs for a limited period for security and abuse prevention.
- Via cookies: see Section 5 below.
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, financial data or gambling account details through this website. Any personal data you provide to Maxim88 when registering on their platform is governed by Maxim88's own privacy policy, not this one.
3. How we use your data
- To understand which pages and topics are most useful to visitors so we can improve content
- To measure the performance of affiliate links (click-through rate, conversion attribution)
- To detect and prevent abuse, bots and security threats
- To comply with legal obligations (responding to valid legal requests)
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third-party advertisers for retargeting.
4. Legal basis (GDPR)
For visitors in the EU/UK, our legal bases are:
- Consent — for analytics and non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time via the cookie settings.
- Legitimate interest — for essential security, fraud prevention and core site functionality.
5. Cookies

| Analytics | Measure traffic and user behaviour anonymously | _ga, _ga_* | Up to 2 years |
| Affiliate tracking | Attribute outbound clicks to this site so we receive commission | Set by the destination (Maxim88), not by us | Varies by destination |
We do not use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking cookies on this site.
6. Your rights
Under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of any personal data we hold about you

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Data retention
Analytics data is retained for 14 months (Google Analytics 4 default). Cloudflare server logs are retained according to Cloudflare's own policy. Cookie preferences are retained until you clear them or change them.
8. Third parties
Where we do transfer data to third parties, we rely on their own compliance frameworks:
- Google Analytics 4 — Google Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare (hosting, CDN, analytics) — Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts — fonts served via Google's CDN; see Google's policy
- Maxim88 (when you click an affiliate link) — you leave our site and are subject to Maxim88's own policies
9. Children
This site is strictly for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
The site is served exclusively over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). We use Cloudflare for DDoS protection, bot filtering and edge caching. We do not store any sensitive personal data on this site because we do not collect it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be announced on the homepage for at least 30 days before taking effect.
