Privacy Policy

Introduction and Data Controller

This Privacy Policy describes how smoothspinscasino.org.uk ("the Site") collects, uses, and stores personal data in connection with your use of the Site. It applies to all visitors and, where applicable, registered users.

The data controller for purposes of this policy is the entity responsible for operating this website, details of which are available in the site footer. If you have questions about how your data is handled, please use the contact channels listed on this Site.

This policy is intended to comply with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Categories of Data We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with the Site, the following categories of data may be collected:

  • Identification and contact data — name and email address submitted voluntarily through contact forms or registration features.
  • Technical and usage data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, and similar log data collected automatically when you access the Site.
  • Communication data — the content of messages or enquiries you send to us.
  • Cookie and tracking data — data associated with cookies and similar technologies as described below.

We do not collect payment card details, national insurance numbers, or identity verification documents, as the Site does not offer transactional services directly.

Purposes of Processing

Personal data collected through the Site is used for the following purposes:

  • Operating and maintaining the Site and its features
  • Responding to enquiries and communications submitted through contact forms
  • Analysing site usage patterns to improve content and user experience
  • Ensuring the security of the Site and detecting or preventing misuse
  • Complying with legal obligations applicable to the operation of this Site

We do not use personal data collected through this Site for unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent.

Legal Bases for Processing

Processing is carried out on the following legal bases, as applicable:

  • Legitimate interests — for technical operation, security monitoring, and analytics related to site performance, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and any marketing communications, where you have opted in.
  • Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law.
  • Contract — where processing is necessary to fulfil a service you have requested (e.g. responding to a contact form submission).

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This Site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support basic site functionality, remember your preferences, and collect anonymised usage statistics. Cookies may be set by the Site directly (first-party cookies) or by third-party services integrated into the Site, such as analytics providers.

Non-essential cookies are only placed with your consent, which may be provided or withdrawn through the cookie preference tool available on this Site. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain site features.

Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf — for example, hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email delivery services. Such providers are contractually required to process data only as instructed and to maintain appropriate security standards.

We may also disclose data where required to do so by law, regulation, or court order.

Where links to third-party casino operators or affiliate networks are present on the Site, your interaction with those links is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties, not this policy.

Retention Periods

Data is retained only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Contact form submissions are typically retained for a limited period sufficient to resolve the relevant enquiry. Technical log data is generally retained for a shorter period consistent with its operational purpose.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:

  • Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure — to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to restriction — to request that we limit processing of your data.
  • Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the channels listed on this Site. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within one calendar month). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.

International Transfers

Where data is transferred to service providers located outside the United Kingdom, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with UK GDPR requirements. This may include reliance on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. Updates will be published on this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention.
