This privacy policy explains how blockspinscasino.org.uk collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit this site. We are an independent information portal reviewing Blockspins Casino – we do not operate the casino itself, and we have no access to player accounts or transactions that take place on the operator's platform.
Who controls your data
The data controller for information collected through blockspinscasino.org.uk is the editorial team operating this review portal. You can reach us at [email protected]. This policy covers only what we collect through this site – if you register an account with Blockspins Casino itself, the operator's own privacy policy governs that relationship.
What information we collect
We collect a limited set of data when you use this site:
- Technical information – your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, and pages visited on our site. This is logged automatically by our web server.
- Cookies – small text files stored on your device to remember preferences and measure site performance. See our cookie policy for details.
- Contact form submissions – if you write to us via the contact page, we receive your email address and the message content you provide.
We do not collect names, postal addresses, phone numbers or payment details – we have no registration system and no account infrastructure. If you share such information voluntarily in a message to us, we treat it as confidential.
Why we process your data
We use the information above for these purposes:
- Site operation – to serve pages, fix technical issues, and ensure the site works across devices and browsers.
- Analytics – to understand which pages are read, where visitors arrive from, and how long they stay. This helps us improve content and site structure.
- Communication – to respond when you contact us with a question or feedback.
- Legal compliance – to meet our obligations under UK data protection law and defend against misuse of the site.
Lawful basis for processing
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) – for technical logs, analytics and site security. Running an informational website requires understanding how it is used, and the processing involved is proportionate and non-intrusive.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) – for non-essential cookies such as third-party analytics scripts. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings.
- Contract (Article 6(1)(b)) – when you contact us, processing your message is necessary to respond to your enquiry.
Sharing with third parties
We share limited data with service providers who help us run this site:
- Analytics platforms – aggregated, anonymised usage data to measure traffic and page views. These providers may set their own cookies; see the cookie policy.
- Hosting provider – server logs and site files are stored with our hosting company, which processes them on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
- Advertising networks – if we display ads, anonymised behavioural data may be shared with ad platforms for targeting and measurement. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
No data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area unless the recipient is subject to an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards under UK GDPR.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding information we hold about you:
- Access – request a copy of the personal data we process.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Erasure – request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
- Restriction – ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Object – object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent – where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
How to exercise your rights
To make a request or raise a concern, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. If your request is complex or we receive several at once, we may extend this by two months and will let you know.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for visitors aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
How long we keep your data
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined above:
- Server logs – up to 12 months, then deleted or anonymised.
- Contact form messages – up to 24 months after the last reply, then deleted unless required for legal reasons.
- Analytics data – aggregated and anonymised indefinitely; individual session data is purged after 14 months.
Where we are required by law to retain records longer (for example, to defend a legal claim), we will do so and delete them once the obligation ends.
Security measures
We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. This includes encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure server configurations, and regular backups. No system is completely secure – if you become aware of a vulnerability, report it to [email protected].
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The date below shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
