ClickStartGaming

Website: https://www.clickstartgaming.com

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to ClickStartGaming ("ClickStartGaming," "we," "us," or "our").

ClickStartGaming operates https://www.clickstartgaming.com (the "Website"), an online affiliate marketing platform that introduces visitors to third-party mobile gaming applications, promotional offers, and rewards opportunities.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit our Website, interact with our advertisements, select promotional offers, or otherwise engage with our services.

It also describes the privacy choices and legal rights available to you.

By visiting our Website, you acknowledge that this Privacy Policy describes our information practices. Your use of the Website does not, by itself, constitute consent to activities for which applicable law requires separate consent.

2. Our Affiliate Marketing Business Model

ClickStartGaming is an independent affiliate marketing website.

We promote gaming-related offers and rewards opportunities made available through third-party companies, affiliate networks, mobile gaming providers, and rewards platforms.

When you select an offer or click a promotional link, you may be redirected to a website or application operated by an independent third party.

Important information about our services:

  • ClickStartGaming may receive advertising compensation or affiliate commissions when visitors click links, register, download applications, complete qualifying activities, or perform other actions specified by our affiliate partners.

  • We do not necessarily own, operate, administer, or control the third-party gaming applications or rewards programs promoted through our Website.

  • Rewards are subject to the applicable provider's eligibility criteria, participation requirements, verification procedures, and terms.

  • A displayed gift card or reward represents a promotional opportunity, not a promise that every visitor will receive the advertised reward.

  • Previous installation or use of a promoted game may affect eligibility.

  • We do not independently guarantee reward issuance, availability, timing, or approval by third-party providers.

  • Unless expressly stated otherwise, ClickStartGaming does not administer the third-party provider's registration, verification, gameplay tracking, or rewards fulfillment processes.

Information submitted directly to a third-party offer provider is governed by that provider's privacy policy and terms, not solely by this Privacy Policy.

We encourage visitors to review the relevant provider's policies before registering or participating.

We seek to limit these transmissions to information necessary for legitimate, disclosed purposes and permitted by applicable law and platform requirements.

6. Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality, analyze traffic, measure affiliate referrals, and support advertising.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Support essential Website operations, security, navigation, and user privacy preferences.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand Website traffic, page views, visitor activity, and performance.

Help identify referral sources and attribute qualifying actions to affiliate campaigns.

Depending on the affiliate network, these cookies or related identifiers may be placed or processed by third parties.

Managing Cookies

Where required by law, we seek consent before enabling non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.

Visitors may be offered options to accept, reject, or customize non-essential tracking preferences.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Disabling certain cookies may limit Website functionality or affect referral tracking and offer attribution.

You may withdraw consent or change applicable tracking preferences using our Website's cookie preference controls, where available.

Browser controls alone may not stop server-side processing. We therefore also provide applicable privacy rights and opt-out methods described below.

7. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when appropriate for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

A. Website Infrastructure Providers

Including Shopify and authorized vendors that provide website hosting, operational support, security, and related services.

Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We do not represent that all disclosures are exempt from privacy-law definitions of selling or sharing personal information.

Certain advertising and cross-context behavioral advertising activities may constitute a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, even when no personal information is sold for money.

Where applicable, we provide legally required opt-out mechanisms.

8. Third-Party Gaming and Rewards Providers

Our Website may include links to mobile games, gaming platforms, app stores, promotional campaigns, gift-card rewards opportunities, and other websites operated by independent third parties.

When you follow an external link, the third party may collect information directly from you.

Depending on the offer, this may include:

  • Registration information

  • Email address

  • Mobile device information

  • Gaming activity

  • Application installation information

  • Offer completion records

  • Reward verification information

We encourage you to review the provider's privacy policy, eligibility requirements, and offer terms before submitting information or completing any promotional activity.

9. Affiliate Compensation and Advertising Disclosure

ClickStartGaming participates in affiliate marketing programs.

This means we may receive compensation from third-party advertisers, affiliate networks, gaming companies, or rewards providers when visitors take qualifying actions.

Compensation may result from eligible clicks, registrations, application installations, completed promotional activities, or other advertiser-defined conversion events.

Our affiliate relationships may influence which offers appear on our Website and how they are presented.

Participation requirements, eligibility, and reward availability are determined by the applicable offer provider.

Affiliate compensation does not mean every visitor will qualify for or receive a reward.

We aim to disclose material advertising relationships clearly and conspicuously wherever required by applicable advertising and consumer protection laws.

10. Children's Privacy and Age Restrictions

ClickStartGaming is intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

Our Website and promoted offers are not directed to children under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

We do not knowingly use children's personal information for targeted advertising.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe that a minor has submitted personal information through our Website may contact us using the information below.

Third-party gaming applications may establish their own age restrictions and participation requirements, which visitors must independently satisfy.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

  • Website operations

  • Customer support

  • Affiliate referral attribution

  • Advertising and performance measurement

  • Resolving disputes and enforcing agreements

Retention periods may vary depending on the information category, processing purpose, legal requirements, and contractual obligations.

Some information may remain in backups or records maintained by independent third-party providers according to their retention policies.

These measures may include:

  • Secure HTTPS connections

No website, network, or electronic storage system is completely secure.

We will respond within the time periods required by applicable law.

14. Additional U.S. State Privacy Disclosures

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable consumer privacy laws.

For purposes of applicable state privacy laws, the categories of personal information described in Section 3 may include:

  • Identifiers

  • Internet and electronic network activity

  • Approximate geolocation information

  • Commercial or referral activity information

  • Inferences generated from advertising or analytics activity, where applicable

We collect and process these categories for the purposes described in Sections 4 through 6.

We may disclose applicable categories to advertising partners, affiliate networks, analytics providers, and service providers as described in Section 7.

Some of these disclosures may qualify as sales, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law.

Right to Opt Out

Where applicable, visitors may request that we stop processing or disclosing their personal information for qualifying targeted advertising, sale, or sharing purposes.

Visitors may exercise these rights through our Website's Your Privacy Choices controls or by contacting us using the details below.

Where required by law, we recognize and honor applicable opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control signals, within their legally required scope.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 in circumstances that require affirmative authorization without obtaining that authorization.

California Residents

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, if and to the extent those laws apply to our business.

These may include rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain certain personal information, and rights to opt out of applicable sales or sharing.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information for purposes outside those permitted by applicable law without satisfying additional requirements.

Authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of California residents, subject to reasonable verification and applicable legal requirements.

15. International Visitors

ClickStartGaming primarily markets gaming-related promotional offers to U.S. audiences.

If you access our Website from another country, personal information may be processed or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions in which our service providers operate.

These jurisdictions may have data protection laws different from those in your place of residence.

Where applicable, international data transfers will be handled using legally recognized safeguards or other authorized transfer mechanisms.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Where applicable data protection laws apply to our activities, our legal bases for processing personal information may include:

  • Consent

  • Performance of a contract

  • Compliance with a legal obligation

  • Legitimate interests that are not overridden by applicable individual rights

Legitimate interests may include website security, fraud prevention, and certain operational analytics, as permitted by applicable law.

Where legally required, we obtain consent before placing non-essential cookies or processing information for personalized advertising.

Eligible visitors may also have rights to object to processing, restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or lodge complaints with an appropriate data protection authority.

Additional jurisdiction-specific notices, contact details, or representative information will be provided when legally required.

16. Email Communications

If you voluntarily provide your email address, we may use it to respond to inquiries, provide requested information, or communicate about our services.

We may also send promotional communications where permitted by applicable law.

Marketing messages will provide an unsubscribe mechanism when required.

You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions or contacting us directly.

Unsubscribing from promotional messages will not prevent legally required or otherwise permissible nonmarketing communications.

We do not use email addresses for unrelated marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.

17. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because the Do Not Track signal does not establish a universally accepted legal framework for all tracking practices, our response to it may vary based on applicable legal requirements and available technical mechanisms.

Global Privacy Control ("GPC") is a separate browser-based privacy preference signal.

Where required by applicable law, we process recognized GPC signals as requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising within the scope required by that law.

18. Third-Party Services and External Links

Our Website may contain links to websites, mobile applications, advertising partners, affiliate platforms, and third-party services that ClickStartGaming does not control.

This Privacy Policy applies to ClickStartGaming's own information practices and does not govern the independent practices of external providers.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies, security practices, or information handling of independent third-party websites.

Visitors should review external providers' privacy policies before providing personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

  • Our business operations
