Website analytics and performance monitoring. We use aggregated, anonymised data to understand how visitors interact with the site, which pages are most visited, and where users arrive from. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving site content and user experience.
Responding to enquiries. If you contact us, we use your email address and message content solely to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in communicating with site visitors, or your consent where applicable.

Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of third-party services that may process your data:
Analytics providers. We may use services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage statistics. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Hosting provider. Our website is hosted by a third-party provider whose servers may log standard access data including IP addresses. This data is processed for security and operational purposes.
Font services. This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may result in your IP address being transmitted to Google’s servers. Google’s privacy policy applies to this processing.
This site contains links to external websites, including casino operators, regulatory bodies, and responsible gambling organisations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit via outbound links.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We may share data only in the following circumstances: with third-party service providers acting on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements; where required by law or regulation; or to protect our legal rights in the event of a dispute.
Data Retention
Analytics data is retained in aggregated form and automatically purged according to the retention settings of the analytics platform, typically after 14 months. If you contact us by email, we retain your correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to address your enquiry and for a maximum of 24 months thereafter, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include the use of HTTPS encryption for all site traffic, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel, and regular review of our data processing activities.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
Some of our third-party service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), or adequacy decisions by the UK government, to provide an equivalent level of data protection.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification. You may ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure. You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability. You may request a machine-readable copy of data you have provided to us.
Right to object. You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Rights related to automated decision-making. We do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details available on this site. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, as required by law. There is no fee for making a request, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Complaints
If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection. The ICO can be contacted through their website at ico.org.uk.
