Privacy Policy

1. Who this policy applies to

This Privacy Policy explains how Gamblingflux15 collects, stores and uses personal data when you visit our website, read our editorial casino reviews, click affiliate links or contact us. The site operates as an independent comparison and information service for adults in the United Kingdom. We are not a gambling operator and we do not offer customer accounts for wagering, deposits or withdrawals. The data practices described here relate only to this website and the communications that happen through it.

2. Data controller details

For the purposes of UK data protection law and the UK GDPR, Gamblingflux15 acts as the controller of personal data collected directly through the site. If you need to contact us about privacy matters, requests regarding your information or a concern about how your data has been handled, you can write to privacy@gamblingflux15.co.uk. We review privacy correspondence carefully and aim to respond without unnecessary delay.

3. Information we collect automatically

When you browse the site, our servers and supporting tools may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device category, approximate region, page views, referral source, on-site interactions and time spent on content. We collect this data to keep the service functioning, understand which pages help readers most and identify technical issues. This information is usually aggregated where possible, but some records may still be treated as personal data because they can relate to an identifiable user in context.

4. Information you choose to provide

If you contact us by email, you may provide your name, email address, company details, the content of your message and any supporting material you choose to include. We only ask for the information needed to answer your enquiry. Please avoid sending gambling account credentials, bank details or special category data unless absolutely necessary. If such information is sent unexpectedly, we will handle it with care and limit retention where possible.

5. How affiliate links work

Some links on the site are affiliate links. When you click one of these links, the destination operator or an affiliate platform may receive technical information showing that the click came from Gamblingflux15. That information may include a tracking code, timestamp, device metadata and campaign reference. We do not receive your betting history from casino operators, and we do not control the privacy practices of third-party operators. Their own privacy notices apply once you leave our site.

6. Legal bases for processing

We process personal data on several legal bases under the UK GDPR. We rely on legitimate interests to operate, secure and improve the editorial site, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. We rely on consent where non-essential cookies or analytics tools require it. We may process data to take steps at your request when you contact us, and we may also process information to comply with legal obligations, for example where record keeping is necessary for fraud prevention or regulatory reasons.

7. Why we use your information

The main purposes of processing are straightforward. We use data to deliver pages correctly, remember your age-gate and cookie choices, monitor traffic patterns, investigate abuse, analyse the performance of content and respond to messages sent to our contact addresses. We may also use aggregate insights to improve page structure, revise content priorities or understand whether readers are finding safer gambling material. We do not sell personal data, and we do not profile users for credit or betting decisions.

8. Cookies and local storage

Our site uses cookies and browser storage for functional and measurement purposes. Essential storage remembers whether the age verification overlay has been confirmed and whether the cookie banner has been answered. Optional analytics cookies may help us understand visits, navigation patterns and the pages that readers return to most often. More detail is provided in our separate Cookies Policy. You can also adjust browser settings to limit cookies, although doing so may affect site behaviour.

9. Sharing with service providers

We may share relevant data with hosting suppliers, website security providers, analytics partners, email services and affiliate tracking platforms where this is needed for site operations. Those organisations act as processors or independent controllers depending on the service involved. We select providers with care and expect them to handle data lawfully and securely. They may process information only for the agreed purpose and not for unrelated use on our behalf.

10. International transfers

Some of our service providers may store or access data outside the United Kingdom. Where a transfer takes place, we seek to use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or comparable lawful mechanisms. International data handling does not reduce your rights. It simply reflects the practical reality that digital infrastructure often spans more than one country.

11. Retention periods

We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary. Technical logs are retained for security, troubleshooting and performance monitoring for a limited period. Contact emails may be kept for longer if an ongoing issue or legal obligation requires it. Affiliate click information is generally retained only within the systems operated by the relevant network or provider according to its own retention schedule. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it where feasible.

12. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion, restrict processing, object to processing carried out on legitimate interest grounds and request data portability where applicable. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing. We may need to verify identity before completing a rights request.

13. How to exercise those rights

If you wish to make a privacy request, email privacy@gamblingflux15.co.uk with enough detail for us to understand the issue. Tell us what right you want to exercise and how we can identify the relevant data. We may ask for additional information to confirm identity, especially if the request is sensitive or broad. We aim to answer within the time limits required by law and will explain any lawful reason for delay or refusal if one applies.

14. Security measures

We use administrative and technical measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure. No internet-based service can promise absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the systems and communications under our control. That includes access controls, provider due diligence, software maintenance and a cautious approach to the data we collect in the first place.

15. Complaints and regulator contact

If you are unhappy with our handling of personal data, please contact us first so we have a fair chance to address the problem directly. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom if you believe your data has been used unlawfully. We encourage readers to raise concerns promptly so that facts can be reviewed while records are still clear.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices change, when legal requirements move or when the site adds a new feature that affects data handling. The revised version will be posted on this page with the appropriate effective context. If a change is material, we will aim to make it visible rather than burying it in the footer. Continued use of the site after the updated version appears means you have had the opportunity to review the revised notice.
