Privacy Policy
How TopCasinGuide handles your personal data under the UK GDPR.
Controller
TopCasinGuide.com is the data controller for personal information processed via this website. We operate in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Data we collect
The majority of visitors browse TopCasinGuide without providing personal information. Where data is processed, it falls into three categories: technical data transmitted automatically by your browser (IP address, user agent, referring URL), interaction data collected through analytics cookies where consent is given, and any information you voluntarily share via email.
Purpose of processing
We process data to operate and improve the site, identify useful content, prevent misuse, attribute affiliate clicks to the correct partner, and respond to enquiries. Our lawful bases are legitimate interests (site operation and security) and consent (for non-essential analytics and marketing cookies).
Affiliate click tracking
When you follow a tracked outbound link to an operator, we may append a unique click identifier so the operator can credit any resulting registration to TopCasinGuide. This identifier is anonymous and is not used to construct a behavioural profile.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal data. Limited data is shared with the providers that host this site, deliver analytics, and run the affiliate tracking platforms used by our partners. Each processor is contractually required to protect your data.
International transfers
Certain service providers operate outside the UK. Where applicable, we ensure adequate protection through UK Adequacy Regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.
Data retention
Email correspondence is retained only for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and satisfy record-keeping requirements. Aggregated analytics data is kept for as long as it remains useful for site improvement.
Your rights
You may access, correct or delete personal data we hold, restrict or object to its processing, and lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. To exercise these rights, email editorial@topcasinguide.com and we will respond within statutory timeframes.
Security measures
HTTPS is enforced site-wide. Administrative access is restricted on a need-to-know basis and we audit our supplier list periodically. While no system is infallible, we take reasonable steps to protect any data in our care.
Children
TopCasinGuide is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has contacted us, email editorial@topcasinguide.com and the data will be deleted promptly.
