Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Charlotte Health Center ("we" or "us"), operating the website charlottehealthcenter.com, is an editorial publication that reviews online gambling platforms. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, or process financial transactions on behalf of any gambling operator. This policy explains how we handle the limited information associated with your visit to our site.

Information We Collect

Server and Analytics Data

When you visit a page on our site, our web server and analytics provider collect standard technical data:

• IP address (partially anonymized; we do not store full IP addresses beyond the initial server log rotation)
• Browser version, operating system, and device category (desktop, tablet, mobile)
• Which pages you visited, how long you spent, and what site or search engine referred you
• Approximate geographic location at the state level (derived from IP, not GPS or precise location services)

None of this data is linked to an individual identity. We analyze it in aggregate to understand which content is useful, which pages have technical issues, and where our readership is concentrated within North Carolina and the broader Southeast.

Email Correspondence

We collect your name and email address only if you contact us directly. We do not maintain a mailing list, and we will not add you to one without an explicit opt-in. We do not request or accept financial information, gambling credentials, or identification documents through email.

Cookies

Our site uses three categories of cookies:

• Necessary cookies — Handle basic functionality like remembering whether you have interacted with a notice banner
• Analytics cookies — Allow us to measure traffic in aggregate through Google Analytics (configured with IP anonymization and a 14-month data retention window)
• Affiliate cookies — Placed by partner platforms when you click an outbound casino link. These cookies are set by the destination site, not by us, and are governed by that site's privacy policy

All cookies can be controlled through your browser settings. Our editorial content remains fully accessible with cookies disabled.

How We Protect Your Data

All pages on charlottehealthcenter.com are served over HTTPS with TLS encryption. Our hosting environment uses server-level access restrictions and automated security patching. We do not store sensitive personal data in databases, which limits the attack surface to the minimal server logs described above.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, license, or share personal information with gambling operators, data brokers, or advertising networks. The only third-party services that receive any visitor data are our analytics provider (Google) and our hosting infrastructure. Neither receives data that identifies individual visitors by name.

When you click an affiliate link and leave our site, any information you subsequently provide to the casino platform is governed entirely by their privacy practices. We cannot see your registration data, deposit amounts, or gambling activity at partner sites.

Your Rights Under North Carolina Law

North Carolina's Identity Theft Protection Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. 75-60 et seq.) requires businesses to take reasonable measures to protect personal identifying information and to notify affected individuals in the event of a security breach. While our data collection is minimal, we maintain security standards consistent with these requirements. In the event of any breach affecting personal data, we will notify affected individuals and the North Carolina Attorney General as required by law.

You may request at any time:

• A description of any personal data we hold (in practice, this is limited to email correspondence if you have contacted us)
• Deletion of that data
• Opt-out from analytics tracking (achievable through browser settings or by contacting us directly)

Send privacy-related requests to [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

Age Requirement

This site is intended for adults aged 21 and older. North Carolina law sets the minimum gambling age at 21 for casino gaming at tribal facilities, and we apply the same standard to our online content. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under this age.

Data Retention

Analytics data: 14 months, then automatically purged. Server logs: 90 days. Email correspondence: deleted within 60 days of the inquiry being resolved, unless we are required to retain it for legal compliance.

Updates to This Policy

We will post any changes to this page with a revised date. If a change materially affects how we handle personal data, we will add a summary of what changed at the top of this page for at least 30 days.
