Privacy policy for gamblezenonline.co.uk, our Gamblezen review portal
This notice covers the personal data handled by gamblezenonline.co.uk itself – the independent review portal you're reading now, not Gamblezen or any other operator you might click through to afterwards. If you go on to register with an operator, that company becomes responsible for your data under its own privacy terms, which we encourage you to read separately.
Who controls your data on this site
The data controller for information collected on this domain is the team behind gamblezenonline.co.uk. We decide what is collected through this site and why, and we're the ones you should contact with any privacy query about our own pages. We are not affiliated with Gamblezen Casino or any other operator we write about, and this section deals purely with our own processing.
What information reaches us
Two broad categories exist here. The first is technical data gathered automatically as you browse: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referral source. This is largely the same information most websites collect through standard analytics tools. The second is anything you give us directly, such as an email address and message if you use our contact form.
- Server logs and analytics cookies (see our separate cookie policy for detail)
- Contact-form submissions – name, email, and message content
- Aggregated browsing patterns used to understand which pages are read
Why we process it
We use this information to run the site properly, respond to enquiries, and understand which content is useful to readers. None of it is used to make decisions about your eligibility to gamble, and we hold no player account data for Gamblezen or any other brand we cover – that data sits entirely with the operator.
Lawful basis
Our lawful basis for the technical data is legitimate interest – keeping the site secure and functioning, and improving our content. For contact-form submissions, the basis is your consent, given when you choose to write to us. Where cookies require consent under UK rules, we ask for it through our cookie banner before anything non-essential loads.
Who else might see it
We share limited data with a small number of third parties that help us run the site: analytics providers, hosting infrastructure, and any advertising partners whose scripts appear on our pages. We never sell personal data, and we don't pass your details to Gamblezen or any operator unless you've actively clicked through to their own site, at which point their own privacy policy takes over.
Your rights under UK GDPR
As a UK-facing site, we handle data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You have a set of rights over the information we hold about you, and exercising them is straightforward – just get in touch using the details below.
- Access – ask what data we hold about you
- Rectification – correct anything inaccurate
- Erasure – request deletion where there's no reason to keep it
- Restriction – limit how we use it in certain circumstances
- Portability – receive your data in a portable format
- Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdrawing consent – for anything we process on that basis
How long we keep it
Technical and analytics data is retained only as long as needed to serve its purpose, typically a matter of months rather than years. Contact-form correspondence is kept long enough to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted. We don't hold onto data indefinitely just because storage is cheap.
Exercising your rights and raising concerns
Email [email protected] with any request relating to your data and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you're unhappy with how we've handled something, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent supervisory authority for data protection.
Protecting minors
This site, and the content it discusses, is intended for readers aged 18+ only. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and if we become aware that we have, we'll delete it. Gambling content of any kind should never be accessible to minors, and we'd ask any parent or guardian to use device-level parental controls if a shared device is a concern.
Changes to this notice
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. Any material change will be reflected here with a new effective date, so it's worth checking back periodically rather than assuming nothing has moved.
This page is for information and marketing purposes only. We are not a casino operator, a bookmaker or an organiser of gambling. Access to this content is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). We encourage you to gamble responsibly – for free, confidential support visit BeGambleAware.org.
