Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how SCDMH.net (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://scdmh.net (the “Site”).
We publish editorial content about best online slots sites, including comparisons and guidance on bonuses, RTP, payouts, mobile usability, withdrawals, security, and responsible gambling tools. We may earn compensation when you click certain links to third-party operators (affiliate links). This policy covers information collected on the Site and through our ads, analytics, and affiliate tracking.
What we collect
We keep data collection as lightweight as possible. Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:
Information you provide
-
Contact details and message content if you email us or use our contact form (for example: email address, name if provided, and the contents of your message).
We do not require you to create an account to use the Site.
Browsing and device information
When you visit, our servers and service providers may automatically receive:
-
IP address (which may be used to infer approximate location, such as city/state)
-
Pages viewed, time spent, and click activity (including link-outs)
-
Referring/exit pages and general traffic source data
-
Device type, browser type, operating system, and settings
-
Cookie identifiers and similar tracking IDs
Cookies and tracking data
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect:
-
Analytics signals (how the Site is used)
-
Advertising measurement (ad performance and frequency capping)
-
Affiliate attribution (e.g., UTMs, click IDs, and link-out events) so partners can credit referrals
Sensitive information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as government ID numbers, precise geolocation, health data, or biometric data). Please avoid sending sensitive details via email or our contact form.
How we use information
We use information to:
-
Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
-
Understand what content is helpful (performance, usability, and engagement)
-
Prevent abuse, spam, and fraud
-
Measure traffic, diagnose technical issues, and improve load speed and mobile experience
-
Display ads and measure ad performance (where enabled)
-
Track outbound link performance and attribute affiliate commissions when you click or convert with a partner
-
Respond to messages and support requests
Cookies & tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Pixels and similar tools help measure traffic and marketing performance. We use them to keep the Site working properly and to understand how readers interact with our content.
Your choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
-
Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies
-
Use “private browsing” modes (note: this does not make you invisible to networks or ISPs)
-
Consider browser extensions that limit third-party tracking
“Do Not Sell or Share” and opt-out requests
We do not sell personal information for money. However, under some US state privacy laws (like California’s CPRA), certain advertising or measurement-related sharing may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To opt out of “sale/share” (as defined by applicable laws), contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share”. Where feasible, we also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of “sale/share.”
Advertising, analytics & affiliates
We may use:
-
Analytics tools to understand Site traffic and improve content (for example, page views, link clicks, and device stats)
-
Advertising partners (display or programmatic) to show ads and measure performance
-
Affiliate tracking to attribute referrals when you click links to third-party operators
Affiliate links may include tracking parameters (such as UTMs or click IDs). If you click an affiliate link and later sign up or make a purchase on a partner site, we may earn a commission. This does not typically change the price you pay, but partners control their offers and terms.
Sharing of information
We may share information in these situations:
Service providers
We share data with vendors that help run the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, security/anti-abuse, and email support). These providers are permitted to use information only to perform services for us.
Advertising and affiliate partners
We may share limited identifiers and event data (like link-out events, cookie IDs, IP-derived region, or click IDs) for:
-
Ad measurement and frequency control
-
Affiliate attribution and fraud prevention
Legal and compliance
We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
No sale for money
We do not “sell” personal information in exchange for money. We may “share” certain data for targeted advertising and measurement as defined by some state laws.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
-
Know/access the personal information we hold about you
-
Delete personal information (with exceptions)
-
Correct inaccurate personal information
-
Opt out of targeted advertising and “sale/share” (as defined by law)

Non-discrimination for exercising your rights
