Data Governance

Privacy Policy: Data Protection & Cookie Standards

How does Luxury Stays handle your personal data when you browse our reviews, use our interactive budget tools, or contact our desk? We maintain strict data minimization principles. We do not track users across the web, we do not deploy commercial casino retargeting pixels, and we never monetize reader records through third-party data brokers.

1. Categories of Information Collected

We collect only the minimum information necessary to deliver our independent editorial content:

  • Technical Server Logs: Standard web server logs containing your IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and timestamp of page requests. These logs are stored temporarily for security auditing.
  • Direct Communications: Information submitted voluntarily via our contact form (such as name, email address, and correspondence notes).
  • Interactive Client Data: Values entered into our on-page budget calculators and odds tools are processed entirely within your local browser JavaScript and are never transmitted to our database.

2. Lawful Basis & Purpose of Use

Any collected information is utilized strictly to provide reliable service delivery, maintain server security, and respond to direct editorial inquiries. We do not construct consumer behavioral profiles or analyze personal browsing patterns.

Unlike commercial gaming portals that embed dozens of advertising beacons, Luxury Stays deploys zero third-party marketing trackers.

Our site utilizes only essential first-party session cookies required for fundamental site operation, such as preserving mobile navigation preferences or basic performance caching. You can disable all cookies through your browser preferences without losing access to any review or guide on our platform.

4. Zero Third-Party Monetization

We state categorically: Luxury Stays does not sell, lease, exchange, or transfer personal consumer information to third parties.

We have zero data-sharing arrangements with casino operators, affiliate networks, or marketing agencies. Your visit to our publication remains entirely confidential and unlinked to gambling industry customer lists.
