Privacy Policy

1) Who we are & what this policy covers

Jack Jones (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates https://www.jackjonesliteraryarts.com/ (the “Site”).

We’re a USA-focused editorial and affiliate website that publishes guides and information about iGaming topics—here, primarily online poker in Florida, including the legal landscape, sweepstakes-style poker models (Gold Coins for play, Sweeps Coins/bonus currency for prize-style play), banking options (cards/e-wallets/crypto where offered by third parties), and responsible play resources.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use the Site. It does not cover third-party websites you may visit via links from our Site (such as poker platforms, sweepstakes sites, cardrooms, or payment services). Those third parties have their own privacy policies.

2) What we collect

We keep data collection lightweight. The Site does not provide user accounts and does not process purchases directly on the Site.

A) Information you provide

Based on the options you provided:

• Newsletter: No
• Contact form: No
• Comments/UGC: No

So we generally do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or messages directly through the Site.

If you choose to contact us through any contact details listed elsewhere on the Site, we’ll receive whatever you send (for example, your name, email, and message).

B) Browsing and device data (collected automatically)

When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

• IP address (used to infer approximate location, such as city/state level)
• Pages viewed, time on page, clicks, scrolling, and link-out events
• Referrer information (e.g., search engine or referring webpage)
• Device type, browser type, operating system, language settings
• Cookie IDs or similar identifiers

C) Cookies/trackers for analytics, ads, and affiliate attribution

We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels/tags) for:

• Analytics (understanding what content helps readers—e.g., sweepstakes rules, verification steps, or Florida-specific legal context)
• Advertising (showing and measuring ads, limiting frequency, and reducing fraud)
• Affiliate tracking (measuring referrals when you click to a partner and attributing commissions)

Outbound links may include tracking parameters such as UTM codes, click IDs, or similar identifiers.

D) Sensitive information

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the Site (for example: Social Security numbers, government ID images, precise geolocation, biometrics, or health data).

If you click through to a poker/sweepstakes platform, that platform may collect additional information, including identity verification details, under its own privacy policy.

3) How we use information

We use information to:

• Run, maintain, and secure the Site
• Detect and prevent abuse, spam, fraud, and invalid traffic
• Measure Site performance and improve content (for example, making our Florida poker guidance clearer on legal limitations, sweepstakes mechanics, and safer-play tips)
• Personalize or cap ads (where supported)
• Attribute affiliate referrals and commissions when you click a link and complete a qualifying action with a partner

4) Cookies & tracking

What cookies/pixels do

Cookies and similar technologies help us:

• Remember basic preferences (where applicable)
• Understand traffic and engagement
• Measure advertising performance
• Measure affiliate referrals
• Reduce fraud and repeated/overwhelming ad delivery (frequency capping)

How to control cookies

You can manage cookies by:

• Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Using private browsing mode
• Using tracker-blocking extensions/tools
• Adjusting mobile device privacy settings

Blocking cookies may reduce functionality and may limit our ability to measure content performance and affiliate referrals.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we aim to honor it where feasible as an opt-out of certain “sale/share” and targeted advertising activities (as defined under some state privacy laws).

5) Advertising, analytics & affiliates

Advertising

The Site uses display/programmatic ads. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and improve ads, limit frequency, and detect fraud.

Analytics

We use analytics to understand what readers find useful (for example, engagement with explanations of Florida’s online poker restrictions, sweepstakes models, banking considerations, and responsible gaming resources).

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. This means:

• We may receive compensation if you click and later take a qualifying action with a partner.
• Links may include identifiers to attribute the referral.

Affiliate compensation supports our editorial work. We still aim to keep guides practical and reader-first (for example: emphasizing safer choices, clear rules, and avoiding risky or unclear options).

6) Sharing of information

We may share information with:

1. Service providers (hosting, analytics, security, anti-abuse)
2. Advertising partners (ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping)
3. Affiliate partners (referral attribution, reporting, fraud prevention)
4. Legal/compliance recipients (if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the Site)

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some data sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising or measurement may be considered “sharing” under laws like the California CPRA.

7) Your privacy rights (US states)

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under state laws.

California (CPRA)

• Know/access the personal information collected about them
• Delete personal information (with certain exceptions)
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Obtain information about disclosures for certain purposes
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information
• Non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights

We do not intentionally collect or use sensitive personal information in a way that would require offering a “limit use” request process for sensitive PI on this Site.

• Access

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above. Typical ranges:

• Analytics data: up to 24 months
• Server/security logs: up to 12 months
• Affiliate measurement data: varies by partner requirements and fraud-prevention needs

Security

We use reasonable safeguards such as HTTPS, access controls, and routine updates. No system is perfectly secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.

10) Third-party links & disclaimers

Our Site links to third-party websites (for example, sweepstakes poker platforms, cardrooms, or other services). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before submitting personal information or completing verification steps.

11) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
