1. Who we are
Slotterrainuk20 is an independent editorial comparison site. We publish reviews, comparisons, safer gambling information and affiliate disclosures related to UKGC-licensed casinos. We are not a gambling operator, we do not open player accounts, and we do not process wagers or withdrawals. For privacy questions, you can contact us at privacy@slotterrainuk20.co.uk. If your message concerns general data rights rather than content accuracy, using that mailbox helps route the request more quickly.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal data processed through this website, including data generated by your interaction with the pages, information you send to us by email, and limited technical information used for site operation, fraud prevention and consent storage. It does not apply to data processed by third-party casino operators after you leave our website. Once you follow an external link, that operator becomes responsible for its own privacy practices, account rules and lawful basis for processing.
3. Categories of data we may process
The categories of data are deliberately narrow. They may include your IP address, browser type, approximate device information, pages visited, referral source, consent status, age confirmation status stored locally on your device, and the content of any email you send us. If you contact us, we may also process your name, email address and any information you choose to include in the message. We do not knowingly collect special category data through ordinary use of the site and we do not request gambling account credentials.
4. How we collect information
Information is collected in three main ways. First, some data is generated automatically when your browser requests and displays a page. Secondly, certain preferences are stored in your browser, such as the age confirmation and cookie choice set through the interface. Thirdly, we receive information directly if you send us an email or otherwise contact us. We aim to keep passive collection proportionate to the needs of a small editorial service rather than to build detailed behavioural profiles.
5. Purposes of processing
We process personal data to provide the website, maintain security, remember your consent choices, answer correspondence, investigate misuse, measure broad site performance where consent permits, and document compliance with legal obligations. We may also use limited information to improve site layout, fix technical problems or understand whether certain pages are failing to load correctly on specific devices. We do not sell personal data. We do not use this website to build a user account area, a payment profile or a direct marketing database.
6. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our lawful bases depend on the context. Essential site operation, security logging and response to correspondence are usually processed on the basis of legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. Consent is used where the law requires it, especially for non-essential cookies or optional analytics. We may process certain information to comply with legal obligations, for example where a valid request from a regulator or competent authority is received. If a specific situation relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent going forward.
7. Cookies and local storage
Our site uses small storage technologies to remember whether you have confirmed you are 18 or over and whether you accepted or declined optional cookies. These preferences help us avoid repeatedly showing the same prompts. Additional detail is set out in the Cookie Policy, but the short version is simple: we use the minimum needed to operate the site and request consent for anything optional. Your browser also stores data locally when you interact with the age gate and cookie banner, and you can clear those items through browser settings at any time.
8. Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on Slotterrainuk20 are affiliate links. If you click one and later register with a featured casino, an affiliate network or partner may attribute that referral to our site. We do not receive your casino account login details from that process. Third parties may, however, process technical data such as referral URLs, timestamps or device identifiers according to their own privacy notices. We encourage you to read the privacy information of any operator or affiliate partner you visit after leaving this site.
9. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a period required by law or reasonable governance practice. Email correspondence may be kept for a limited time so we can manage follow-up conversations, evidence a response to a complaint, or preserve a record of a privacy request. Technical logs are retained for shorter operational periods unless an incident requires further review. Local storage items remain on your device until they expire, are overwritten or are deleted by you.
10. International transfers
Where service providers are located outside the UK, or where infrastructure results in data leaving the UK, we seek to ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism is in place. That may include adequacy regulations, contractual safeguards or equivalent protective measures. Not every transfer is equally sensitive. Broad traffic information used for technical delivery is different from correspondence containing personal detail. Even so, our aim is to use providers that can support a compliant and proportionate handling of data.
11. Your data protection rights
Subject to legal limits and verification of identity where necessary, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing and data portability. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the relevant lawful basis. These rights are not absolute, but they are important, and we take requests seriously. To exercise them, email dataprotection@slotterrainuk20.co.uk with enough detail for us to understand the request.
12. Verification and response times
Before acting on a privacy request, we may need to verify the identity of the requester so we do not disclose information to the wrong person. Verification should be proportionate. We will not ask for more data than is reasonably necessary to confirm the request. Where applicable law sets deadlines for response, we aim to comply within those timescales. If a request is unusually complex or involves a high volume of records, a lawful extension may be required, in which case we will explain the reason.
13. Security measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect information from accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure. No internet service can promise total invulnerability, but we do not treat security language as decorative. Access to administrative tools should be limited, data sharing should be controlled, and unnecessary retention should be avoided. If we become aware of a personal data breach that triggers a legal duty to notify, we will act in line with those obligations.
14. Children's data
This website is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us so we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information. The age gate on the site forms part of our effort to reduce the chance of underage access, but it is not a substitute for broader parental or guardian supervision of internet use.
15. Complaints, regulator contact and changes
If you are unhappy with how we have handled a privacy concern, please contact us first so we have the chance to review the issue properly. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully. The ICO can provide guidance on how complaints work and what information may be needed. We may also update this Privacy Policy when legal requirements, site functionality or our data handling practices change, and the revised version will be posted on this page with wording clear enough to explain what has shifted.
