Privacy Policy

Detailed Privacy Disclosure for Pulsz-Casino.us.com Visitors

This expanded privacy disclosure complements the seven-point policy above with the legal, technical and operational detail US visitors typically need to make an informed decision before browsing or registering for a sweepstakes account through any of the affiliate links on this domain. We publish it in plain English because the most common reason readers stop reading a privacy notice is dense legalese, not the substance of the policy itself.

8. Who Operates Pulsz-Casino.us.com

Pulsz-Casino.us.com is an independent affiliate review publication, not operated by, owned by, or formally affiliated with Protagonist Inc. — the legal entity behind pulsz.com itself. Editorial decisions, including scoring, recommendations and the ordering of content on the editorial Pulsz coverage page, are made independently of any commercial relationship with Pulsz or any other sweepstakes platform we link to.

9. Categories of Personal Information We Process

The information we process about a typical visitor falls into four categories. The first is server log data, which our hosting provider retains for security reasons — IP address, user agent string, referring URL, the path requested and an HTTP status code. The second is analytics data sent to Google Analytics 4 via the gtag.js script, which records page views, scroll depth, outbound clicks on affiliate links and approximate geolocation derived from the IP. The third is data you voluntarily submit if you complete the contact form or subscribe to the email newsletter. The fourth is preference data, such as the cookie-consent state and dark-mode preference, stored locally in your browser.

10. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the analogous state privacy frameworks now in force in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Indiana and Delaware, we process server logs and analytics data under a legitimate-interest basis for site security, content optimization and audience measurement. Contact-form submissions are processed under your explicit consent at the moment of submission. Newsletter subscriptions are processed under your express opt-in plus the legitimate-interest basis for sending the requested content. We do not sell, rent, lease or trade personal information to any third party for any purpose.

11. Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link to Pulsz, the destination platform sets a tracking cookie in your browser that identifies us as the referring publisher. This cookie has no functional purpose on this site and is set by the third party, not by us. It typically expires after 30 to 90 days depending on the program. You can clear affiliate cookies at any time through your browser's privacy settings, and doing so will not affect any prior account activity at the destination platform. The Pulsz bonuses guide describes the bonus structures these affiliate flows surface — review the destination platform's own privacy notice before completing any registration there.

12. Children Under 18

This site is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from any visitor under 18. If we discover that information about a minor has been submitted to us in error, we will delete it from our systems within 30 days of becoming aware and notify the relevant guardian if contact information is available. The responsible play resources hub includes parental-control software recommendations for households where a minor may have access to a shared device.

13. International Visitors

This publication is targeted to residents of the United States. The Pulsz platform itself is restricted to US residents in 45 supported states. If you are visiting from outside the US, the General Data Protection Regulation, the UK Data Protection Act, the Brazilian LGPD, the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act, or another regional framework may give you additional rights. Email [email protected] with your jurisdiction and we will respond with the applicable rights-exercise process within ten business days.

14. Security Measures We Maintain

Our hosting infrastructure terminates TLS 1.3 connections, runs an automated web-application firewall, and rotates server access keys every 90 days. Outbound forms submit over HTTPS exclusively. We do not store credit-card numbers, social security numbers, or other high-sensitivity data on this site under any circumstance — those data points are entered, if ever, directly on the destination sweepstakes platform after you click through an affiliate link. The technical detail of how those entries are processed at the destination is covered in the Pulsz banking and redemption breakdown — see the Pulsz cashout workflow walk-through for the relevant KYC stages.

15. How to Exercise Your Rights

To request a copy of the personal information we hold about your visit, to correct an inaccuracy, to delete data we have collected, or to opt out of analytics processing entirely, write to [email protected] from the email address you used in any submission, or include a description of the visit that allows us to identify the relevant records. Verification typically takes two business days. Once verified, requests are fulfilled within the 30-day statutory window, with a 30-day extension available where the request is complex.

16. Do-Not-Track Signals

This site honors the Global Privacy Control header. If your browser sends a Sec-GPC: 1 header, the gtag.js analytics call is suppressed automatically and no analytics event is sent to Google for that session. We do not currently honor the legacy DNT header because the W3C never finalized that specification and the major analytics vendors do not act on it consistently.

17. Third-Party Services We Use

The functioning of this publication relies on a small set of third-party services. Cloudflare provides edge caching and basic DDoS protection. Google Fonts serves the Nunito and DM Sans typefaces. Google Analytics 4 records anonymized usage data. The Chart.js library, served from cdn.jsdelivr.net, renders the interactive diagrams on the Pulsz strategy guide and banking method comparison pages. Each of these services has its own privacy policy linked from the providers' homepages.

18. Email Newsletter Specifics

If you subscribe to the optional bi-weekly Pulsz round-up newsletter, your email address is stored in our mailing-list management system, which is served by a US-based provider with SOC 2 Type II certification. Each newsletter contains an unsubscribe link in the footer; clicking it removes your address from the list within 48 hours and triggers a 30-day deletion timer on the underlying record. We do not buy or rent email lists from any source.

19. Updates to This Notice

We review this privacy notice at least once every six months and after any material change to our data-processing practices. The revision date at the top of the page is the canonical version marker. Material changes, such as the introduction of a new third-party processor or a change to the legal basis for any category of processing, will be flagged with a banner on the homepage for at least 14 days following the change.

20. Contact and Complaint Routes

The fastest route for any privacy question is email to [email protected]. We respond within two business days during US working hours. If you believe we have not handled a privacy concern adequately, you may file a complaint with your state attorney general's office, with the Federal Trade Commission, or with the equivalent regulator in your jurisdiction. We will cooperate with any such inquiry in good faith.

This expanded notice should be read in conjunction with the seven-point summary above. Where a clause of the expanded notice and a clause of the summary appear to differ, the more privacy-protective provision applies. Last reviewed April 2025.
