1. Information We Collect
When you visit Dutching.bet, we and our third-party service providers may collect the following types of information:

1.3 Outbound and Affiliate Link Clicks
When you click a link on Dutching.bet that leads to an external website — including bookmaker sites, betting exchanges, and affiliate partner links — that click event may be recorded as an analytics event.

Dutching.bet does not require you to create an account, register, or submit any personal information (such as your name, email address, or payment details) to use this website. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the legal gambling age in any jurisdiction.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention
Aggregate analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained by Google in accordance with their data retention policies (typically up to 26 months for most data).
