Privacy Policy
This page explains what information No Deposit Desk collects when you visit this site, how we use it, and the choices available to you, including specific rights for California residents under the CCPA.

Who We Are
No Deposit Desk (africanewsarena.com) is an independent information site publishing US-focused guides about no-deposit casino bonuses, sweepstakes-style play, wagering terms, and related legality and tax questions. Our content is written by Priya Nadkarni, who has covered US gambling law and consumer finance since 2016, and reviewed by Grace Adeyemi, whose background is in tax compliance review. We are not a casino, a sweepstakes operator, a payment processor, or a government regulator. This policy covers only the data practices of this website itself, not any third-party operator a reader might separately visit.
We wrote this policy in plain language on purpose. If any section is unclear, email us at [email protected] and we will clarify or, if warranted, revise the wording.
Information We Collect
We collect two general categories of information. The first is information you provide directly, which today is limited to whatever you choose to include in an email sent to our contact address, such as your name, your email address, and the contents of your message. We do not currently operate account registration, comment sections, or newsletter sign-up forms on this site.
Automatically Collected Browsing Data
The second category is information collected automatically as you browse, through standard web server logs and analytics tools. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages you visit, referring pages, approximate geographic location derived from your IP address, and timestamps of your visit. None of this automatic data is tied to your name unless you have separately emailed us and we cross-reference it manually, which we do not do as a matter of routine practice.
Third Parties
We may use third-party service providers for hosting, security, and analytics, and those providers may process the automatically collected data described above on our behalf, under their own privacy and security practices. We do not sell visitor data to data brokers, and we do not share it with gambling operators for marketing purposes, since we hold no affiliate relationships with any casino, sportsbook, or sweepstakes platform.
External Sources We Link To
Some pages link out to external sources we cite for factual claims, including the IRS, the Federal Trade Commission, the American Gaming Association, and the National Council on Problem Gambling. Those are independent organizations with their own privacy policies, and once you click through to any of them, this policy no longer applies to your activity on their site.
Data Retention
Automatically collected browsing data, such as server logs and analytics records, is generally retained only as long as needed for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and understanding aggregate traffic trends, after which it is deleted or further anonymized on a rolling basis. Emails you send us are kept as long as reasonably needed to address your inquiry and for our own recordkeeping, and are not retained indefinitely without purpose.
Your Choices and Rights
You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time, and you can choose not to email us, in which case we hold no directly identifying information about you beyond standard, largely anonymous browsing logs. If you have previously emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, send a request to the address below and we will remove it from active systems within a reasonable timeframe.
CCPA Rights for California Residents
California residents (CCPA notice): if you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to request disclosure of the categories of personal information we have collected about you, to request deletion of that information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA. To make a request, email [email protected] with "CCPA request" in the subject line, and we will respond within the timeframe required by law.
Residents of other states with comparable privacy laws may have similar rights depending on where you live; the same contact address handles requests regardless of which state's law applies to you.
Children's Privacy
This site discusses gambling-related topics intended for an adult audience, and content across this site assumes readers are at least 21, the minimum age for real-money online casino play in the states where it is licensed. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and if we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted information to us should contact us at the address below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our practices change or as privacy law evolves. When we do, we will revise the "Updated" date shown near the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically, particularly if you have concerns about a specific data practice described here, though we do not currently send individual notices for routine wording updates.
Contact Us
Questions about this policy, a data request, or a CCPA inquiry can be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond to genuine privacy inquiries promptly and will confirm receipt of any formal request. This address also reaches our editorial team for general questions covered on our about us page.
