How Slotpivotgb20 handles personal data on this editorial casino site

1. Scope of this policy

This privacy policy applies to the website available at slotpivotgb20.co.uk and to the related editorial services offered through that domain. It does not apply to third-party casino operators, payment providers or other external sites that may be linked from our pages. When you leave this website through an outbound link, the privacy position of the receiving site will apply instead. Readers should therefore review those separate policies before creating an account, sending documents or submitting payment details to any operator.

2. Who controls your data

For the purposes of data protection law, Slotpivotgb20 acts as the controller of the limited personal data processed through this site. The site is an editorial comparison service rather than a gambling operator. Questions about this policy or the handling of personal data can be sent to dataprotection@slotpivotgb20.co.uk. General editorial questions may be sent to info@slotpivotgb20.co.uk.

3. What data we may collect

The site is designed to operate with a light data footprint. We may process technical information such as browser type, device category, approximate location based on IP, pages viewed, referral sources, cookie choices and the time of your visits. If you contact us by email, we may also process your name, email address and the contents of your message. We do not ask users to create an account on Slotpivotgb20 and we do not process banking data, identity documents or gambling account credentials.

4. Age-gate and cookie preference storage

The site stores an age-confirmation flag and a cookie-consent flag in your browser so that you are not repeatedly shown the same notice on every page load. Those values are kept locally through browser storage and do not, by themselves, identify you by name. Their purpose is purely operational: to prevent underage access prompts from reappearing after confirmation and to remember whether the cookie banner has been acknowledged.

5. Why we process personal data

We process information for several limited purposes: to operate the website, understand which pages are being used, protect the site from misuse, respond to reader enquiries and maintain an accurate editorial service. Where affiliate tracking is involved, certain technical information may also be used to understand when a reader has clicked through to a partner site. We do not use personal data to make automated decisions about users, and we do not profile readers for gambling suitability or creditworthiness.

6. Legal bases under GDPR

Depending on the context, our legal basis may be legitimate interests, consent or the need to take steps connected with a user request. Legitimate interests support activities such as maintaining the site, securing it against abuse and measuring basic traffic patterns. Consent is relied upon where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used. If you contact us directly and ask for information, processing your message may also be necessary in order to answer the request you initiated.

7. Affiliate links and outbound referrals

Slotpivotgb20 contains affiliate links to certain casinos and related services. When a reader clicks one of those links, the receiving operator or network may recognise the referral and record technical information for tracking and commission purposes. That activity is largely controlled by the third party after the click-through occurs. We recommend that users read the privacy notice of the destination site before registering or consenting to additional tracking.

8. Analytics and site performance data

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which reviews are read, how visitors move through the site and whether important pages are functioning properly. The intent is editorial and operational, not behavioural targeting. Aggregated usage data helps us improve navigation, refine sections that readers ignore and spot pages that load poorly or cause confusion. We aim to avoid collecting more information than is necessary for those tasks.

9. How long information is kept

Technical logs are retained only for as long as needed to monitor performance, investigate abuse or compile routine reporting. Email correspondence is kept for the period reasonably required to answer the enquiry, maintain a record of the exchange and address related legal or operational issues. Different retention periods may apply where a message raises a complaint, suspected misuse or a data-rights request that requires documented follow-up.

10. Sharing with service providers

We may share limited information with hosting providers, analytics vendors, email providers, technical contractors and affiliate platforms where this is necessary to run the site and support our editorial business. Those parties are expected to process data only for the relevant service purpose and under suitable contractual safeguards. We do not sell personal data to data brokers, and we do not provide reader contact details to casino operators for their own direct marketing purposes.

11. International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we seek to use providers that offer appropriate protection measures such as contractual safeguards, adequacy decisions or comparable lawful mechanisms. International data transfers can never be reduced to a single sentence, so if you need more detail about a particular transfer context, contact us and we will explain what can reasonably be disclosed.

12. Your data protection rights

Depending on your circumstances, you may have the right to request access to personal data, ask for correction, request erasure, object to certain processing, seek restriction, withdraw consent where consent is the basis and request portability where the law provides that option. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal duties, security concerns or the practical need to keep some records. Even so, we take rights requests seriously and aim to respond within applicable legal timelines.

13. How to exercise your rights

You can submit a privacy request by emailing privacy@slotpivotgb20.co.uk or dataprotection@slotpivotgb20.co.uk. To protect both the requester and the site, we may ask for additional information where needed to confirm identity or clarify the scope of the request. That check is designed to avoid disclosing data to the wrong person, not to place unnecessary barriers in the way of a lawful request.

14. Complaints and supervisory authorities

If you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully, we ask that you contact us first so we can review the issue properly. You also have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom, particularly if you remain dissatisfied after contacting us. Using our contact route first does not remove that right, but it often allows straightforward issues to be corrected quickly.

15. Policy updates

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal changes, site features, service-provider changes or editorial workflow adjustments. When the policy is updated, the revised version will be published on this page. Material changes will be described clearly so readers can understand what shifted and why. Continued use of the site after a revision means you have had the opportunity to review the new wording, but it does not remove any rights you may have under applicable law.
