1. Scope of this policy
This privacy policy explains how Slotvortexgb20 collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you visit our website, interact with page features, follow links to featured casino operators, or contact us directly. The site is an editorial comparison service aimed at adults in Great Britain. We are not a gambling operator and do not open betting accounts, process deposits, or run games. Even so, we take data protection seriously because readers still share information through normal website use, analytics signals and direct correspondence.
2. Who controls your data
For the purposes of UK GDPR and applicable data protection law, Slotvortexgb20 acts as the data controller for information gathered through this website. Questions about this policy or about the way your information is handled can be sent to privacy@slotvortexgb20.co.uk. We review privacy requests in a structured manner and keep records of action taken so that responses are consistent, timely and traceable.
3. Data we collect automatically
When you browse the site, our systems may receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device class, operating system, approximate location inferred from network data, referring page, visited URLs, and timestamps. This information helps us keep the site secure, understand traffic patterns, and improve the way articles load across different screens. We do not need this data to identify you by name in order for it to remain personal data under the law, so we handle it with the same care as other identifiable information.
4. Data you provide directly
If you contact us by email, the information you choose to include will be processed so that we can read your message, reply, and keep an audit trail of the exchange where appropriate. That may include your name, email address, topic of enquiry, and any supporting context you decide to send. We ask that you avoid sharing sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the issue being raised. If a message contains more data than required, we may minimise what is retained.
5. Why we use personal data
We use personal data to operate the site, remember age-gate and cookie choices on your device, measure readership in an aggregate way, diagnose faults, respond to messages, investigate misuse, and maintain records needed for compliance. In limited cases we also use data to defend legal claims or protect the integrity of the service. We do not sell personal data to casino operators, data brokers or advertising exchanges. Our editorial comparison work does not require us to pass reader identities to featured brands.
6. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our lawful bases depend on the activity involved. We rely on legitimate interests for core website security, performance monitoring and service improvement where those interests are not overridden by your rights. We rely on consent for non-essential cookies or comparable technologies where the law requires it. We may rely on legal obligation when retaining records connected with regulatory or legal duties, and on steps taken before entering a contract if you contact us about a service issue that requires a direct reply.
7. Cookies and local storage
Slotvortexgb20 uses cookies and similar storage tools for essential website behaviour and, where enabled, measurement of how readers use the site. In addition to cookies, the site stores age-confirmation and cookie-consent choices in your browser so the same prompt does not appear on every page load. Those storage values are limited in purpose and are not designed to build an extensive profile of you. Fuller detail about categories, duration and controls appears in our separate cookie policy.
8. Sharing data with service providers
We may use carefully chosen third-party providers for hosting, security, analytics, performance monitoring, email handling and similar operational tasks. Where those providers process personal data on our behalf, they do so under contractual terms requiring confidentiality, security and use only on our instructions. If you click an affiliate link to a casino site, that external operator becomes responsible for its own data practices once you leave our domain. You should read the operator's privacy materials before registering or sending documents.
9. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations, contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised by UK data protection law. International transfer risk is reviewed in light of the type of data involved, the reason for transfer and the controls available to reduce exposure.
10. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including site administration, correspondence management, legal compliance, security review and dispute handling. Technical logs may be kept for shorter operational periods, while email correspondence may be held longer where there is an ongoing issue, a legal reason or a clear legitimate interest in maintaining the record. When retention is no longer justified, data is deleted, anonymised or otherwise put beyond practical use.
11. Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request erasure, object to certain processing, ask us to restrict processing, and request portability where the legal conditions are met. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting earlier lawful use. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been handled improperly, although we welcome the chance to address concerns first.
12. Security and policy changes
We use administrative, organisational and technical measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, yet we review our controls in light of current risk and proportionality. This policy may be updated from time to time when the site changes, the law shifts, or a data practice needs clearer explanation. When updates are made, the revised policy will appear on this page with the current effective wording for readers to review.
