Privacy Policy

This policy explains how personal data is handled when you use this editorial casino comparison platform. It is written for users in the United Kingdom and follows UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The service is informational: it reviews and compares third-party gambling operators and does not run gambling accounts, hold player balances, or process bets. Even so, some personal data is collected when you browse pages, interact with consent controls, or contact us. The sections below describe what is collected, why it is collected, and what choices you have.

1. Data We Collect

We collect three broad categories of data. First, technical usage data such as browser type, device class, operating system, referral source, viewed pages, and interaction timestamps. Second, consent and preference data, including cookie choices and age-gate confirmation status stored locally on your device. Third, communication data that you submit directly, for example when you send a question to our contact address. We do not request banking details, payment card numbers, or government identification documents through this website.

2. Why We Use Data

Data is processed to keep the website functional, measure performance, maintain security, and improve editorial relevance. Technical event data helps us identify broken links, slow pages, and repeated errors. Consent data allows us to respect your cookie choice and avoid showing the banner on every visit. If you email us, your message is used to respond and to keep a record of the request. Data is not used to create a gambling profile about you, and it is not sold to brokers.

3. Legal Bases Under UK GDPR

Processing relies on different lawful bases depending on context. Essential website operations and security monitoring are handled under legitimate interests, balanced against user rights and expectations. Optional analytics or similar non-essential technologies are used only after consent where required. Communications initiated by you are processed under legitimate interests and, where relevant, steps requested before entering a contract-like support interaction. We review the selected legal basis during policy updates to keep alignment with UK regulatory guidance.

4. Cookies and Related Technologies

Cookies are small text files saved by your browser. We use essential cookies for operational continuity, including remembering consent preferences and age-gate decisions. Non-essential technologies may be used to understand page quality and audience patterns, subject to consent rules. Categories, examples, and controls are described in detail in the Cookie Policy. You can revisit choices in your browser at any time, and blocking optional categories will not prevent access to core editorial content.

5. Third-Party Sharing

Data may be shared with service providers that support hosting, security monitoring, traffic measurement, or email handling. These providers process data under written instructions and are expected to apply confidentiality and technical safeguards. We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or regulator request. Affiliate tracking parameters can be attached when you follow outbound links to partner casinos. Those operators process your data under their own policies once you leave this website, and you should review those documents before registration.

6. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. When that happens, we use transfer safeguards recognised by law, such as adequacy regulations or contractual clauses designed to protect user rights. Transfer routes are reviewed when vendors or infrastructure change. If a provider cannot meet the required safeguard standard, we replace or reconfigure that service. International transfer decisions are made with a focus on data minimisation and proportionality.

7. Retention Periods

Retention depends on data category. Server and security logs are kept for a limited period needed for threat detection, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. Consent records are retained while relevant to demonstrate compliance and to honour your choices. Email correspondence is kept only as long as necessary to complete a request and maintain an audit trail for support quality. Where legal obligations require longer retention, we limit access and store data in segregated systems.

8. Security Controls

We use layered controls that include transport encryption, access restrictions, audit logging, and role-based permissions for operational tools. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risk through regular updates, dependency maintenance, and incident response procedures. When a meaningful security issue affects personal data, we assess notification duties under applicable law and communicate in line with legal requirements.

9. Your Rights

You may have rights to access personal data, request correction, request deletion, restrict processing, object to certain uses, and request data portability where applicable. You may also withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time. To exercise rights, contact us and provide enough detail to verify the request. We may ask for additional information if identity confirmation is needed to protect your account and records. If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you can raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

10. Age Policy

This platform is intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that data from a minor has been provided, we will remove it where practical and lawful. Parents or guardians who believe a child submitted personal information can contact us for review and removal assistance. Age controls on this website do not replace age checks used by gambling operators during account registration.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. There is no single industry standard for how all websites must respond, so handling can vary by service. We continue to prioritise consent-based controls for optional technologies and provide clear user choices through the cookie interface. If standards mature and become enforceable in a clear form, this section will be updated to reflect that change.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this policy when legal obligations, vendor arrangements, or technical practices change. When updates are significant, we will post a visible notice on the website. The effective version is the one published on this page at the time of your visit. You should review this document periodically, especially before sharing personal information by email.

13. Contact

Questions, rights requests, and privacy concerns can be sent to info@[yourdomain]. Please include enough detail for us to identify the issue and reply efficiently. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and keep records of requests to demonstrate compliance obligations.
