This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you visit and interact with our content. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What Data We Collect
When you visit this website, we may collect the following categories of personal data:
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and referring URL. This data is collected automatically when you load any page on the site.
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on each page, scroll depth, links clicked, and navigation paths through the site. This helps us understand how visitors use our content.
- Cookie data: identifiers stored on your device through cookies and similar tracking technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.
We do not collect names, email addresses, payment information, or any data that directly identifies you by name unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact mechanism.
How We Collect Data
Data collection occurs through two primary methods:
- Automated collection: when you visit the site, our server and third-party analytics tools automatically record technical and usage data. This happens in the background and does not require any action from you.
- Cookies and tracking technologies: we use cookies, pixels, and local storage to collect usage data, remember preferences, and support analytics. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
Why We Process Your Data
We process personal data for the following purposes, each supported by a lawful basis under the UK GDPR:
- Site functionality and security (legitimate interest): to deliver pages correctly, prevent abuse, detect technical errors, and maintain the security of the website.
- Analytics and content improvement (legitimate interest): to understand how visitors navigate the site, which content is most useful, and where improvements are needed. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in operating and improving an informational website.
- Legal compliance (legal obligation): to meet our obligations under UK data protection law, including responding to data subject requests and maintaining records of processing activities.
- Advertising and affiliate tracking (consent): where third-party cookies are used for advertising or to track referrals to casino operators, we rely on your consent, obtained through our cookie consent mechanism before any such cookies are placed.
Third-Party Services
We use the following categories of third-party services that may process your data:
- Analytics providers: to measure site traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. These services receive technical and usage data.
- Hosting and content delivery: our website is served through infrastructure providers that process your IP address and request data to deliver pages to your browser.
- Affiliate networks: when you click a link to a casino operator, the affiliate network may place a cookie to track the referral. This processing is subject to your cookie consent and to the affiliate network’s own privacy policy.
We do not sell personal data to any third party. We do not share personal data with casino operators unless you independently choose to visit their sites and provide information to them directly.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above:
- Server logs containing IP addresses and technical data are retained for no more than 90 days and then permanently deleted.
- Analytics data is retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form. Raw analytics data that includes identifiable information is deleted within 14 months of collection.
- Cookie consent records are retained for the duration of the consent period (typically 12 months) and then refreshed.
International Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or adequacy decisions recognising the receiving country’s data protection standards.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to erasure: you can request that we delete your personal data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing.
- Right to restrict processing: you can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability: where processing is based on consent or contract, you can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
- Right to withdraw consent: where processing relies on your consent (such as non-essential cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie settings on the site.
To exercise any of these rights, use the contact mechanism provided on the website. We will respond to valid requests within one calendar month, as required by law.
Children’s Privacy
This website publishes content about casino bonuses and gambling. It is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that data has been collected from a person under 18, we will delete it promptly.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls on server infrastructure, and regular review of data processing practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Supervisory Authority
If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent authority for data protection. You can contact the ICO through their website at ico.org.uk.
