We process personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. As an editorial site, our processing footprint is small, and we have designed it to stay that way.
What information we collect
Because we do not register accounts, run promotions or take payments, we never ask for identity documents, financial details or any special category data. The information we handle is mostly technical and is generated automatically when you browse.
This typically includes your IP address, browser type, device and operating system, referring page, and how you move between articles. We use it to understand which reviews are read, spot broken pages, and keep the site stable.
Where you choose to email us, we treat that correspondence as confidential and use it only to reply to you.
The categories of data we may process are:
- technical identifiers such as IP address and browser data;
- device and session information used to improve the site;
- contact details you provide voluntarily when you write to us.
Why we process your data and our legal basis
Under UK GDPR we must have a lawful basis for each use of your data, and we rely on two. Our legitimate interest covers the technical and analytics data needed to run a secure, well-functioning portal, balanced against your privacy. Consent covers any non-essential cookies, which load only after you agree through our cookie banner.
We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making or behavioural advertising. We never sell personal information, and we do not build marketing profiles from your reading habits.
How we protect your information
Keeping the limited data we hold secure is central to how the portal operates. We use encrypted (HTTPS) connections, restrict administrative access to a small number of authorised people, and keep our hosting and software patched.
We retain technical and analytics data only for as long as it is useful for diagnostics, after which it is deleted or aggregated so it can no longer identify you. Email correspondence is kept only while it is needed to resolve your query.
Sharing with third parties
We do not share personal data with casino operators, advertisers or other organisations for commercial gain. Any external providers we use – such as hosting and privacy-focused analytics services – act strictly on our instructions and only to keep the site running.
Where such providers process data on our behalf, they are bound by written agreements that require confidentiality and compliance with UK GDPR. We disclose information beyond this only where the law requires it, for example in response to a valid request from a UK authority.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have clear rights over your personal data, and we are committed to honouring them. These include the right to access the data we hold about you, to ask for inaccurate data to be corrected, and to request erasure where there is no longer a reason to keep it.
You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests, ask us to restrict how we use your data, and request portability where it applies. To exercise any of these rights, email us with details of your request and we will respond within one month, as required by law.
If you believe we have mishandled your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.
Updates and contact details
We review this policy from time to time so that it reflects changes in the law or in how the site works. Any revised version takes effect as soon as it is published on this page, and we encourage you to check back periodically.
If you have questions about how your data is handled, or wish to make a data protection request, contact us at [email protected]. Every enquiry is handled with care, and protecting your privacy remains a core principle of how we run this portal.
