Privacy Policy
Introduction
Effective date: March 30, 2026.
This privacy policy covers 9masks-of-fire.nz. Four former polytech students run this as a non-commercial project. We study mathematical probability models. Our site provides data audits and mechanical breakdowns. No gambling services exist here. We share findings openly.
Visitors reach pages on slot mechanics. Think payout structures and random number generator basics. Data collection stays minimal. Site logs help us maintain accuracy. Email [email protected] for questions.
This document details what happens with your info. Read sections below. Changes appear with new dates. Last update matches effective date above.
Information We Collect
Server logs capture basics. IP addresses note origin. Timestamps record visits. User agents identify browsers. Referrers show entry points.
Page requests log paths. We track which articles draw traffic. No names or emails unless submitted. Contact forms collect messages if used. Rare occurrences prompt manual review.
Cookies store session data. Preferences persist across visits. Analytics scripts count unique views. No personal identifiers link to individuals.
Search queries appear in logs. Common terms guide content updates. We avoid storing sensitive details like locations beyond IP.
How We Collect Information
Collection happens automatically. Web servers generate logs. Each request produces entries. No manual input required.
Browsers send headers. These include user agent strings and accept-language settings. JavaScript enables client-side tracking. Page views fire events to our counter.
Cookies set on first visit. Consent banners appear where needed. Rejecting limits functionality slightly.
Forms submit via POST. Server validates then stores temporarily. Responses go direct to team inboxes.
How We Use Collected Information
Logs diagnose issues. High error rates signal fixes. Traffic patterns inform server scaling.
Analytics shape content. Popular topics expand. Low interest areas shrink. Our goal remains data integrity.
Security monitoring spots anomalies. Unusual IP bursts trigger checks. Abuse prevention keeps site stable.
Contact data receives replies. Inquiries about probability models get direct answers. No marketing follows.
Sharing Your Information
No sales occur. Data stays internal. Team of four accesses logs as needed.
Law requires disclosure sometimes. Court orders compel release. We notify if possible.
Service providers handle hosting. They follow strict terms. No third-party analytics firms.
Collaborators rare. Shared data anonymized fully. Probability discussions use aggregates.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies enable basics. Session IDs track navigation. Preferences save dark mode choices.
Essential ones run without consent. Analytics cookies optional. Banner controls acceptance.

Data Retention
Logs keep 90 days. Older entries delete automatically. Security holds extend if threats persist.
Contact records archive indefinitely. Useful for follow-ups. Deletion requests honored where possible.
Aggregates persist longer. Trends inform long-term audits. No personal ties remain.
Your Rights
Access requests get responses. We provide collected data summaries. IP logs available on demand.
