How Slotspherexgb15 handles personal data

1. Who we are

Slotspherexgb15 is an independent editorial comparison site. We publish reviews, rankings and explanatory content about online casino brands that advertise or operate in the United Kingdom. We are not a gambling operator and we do not open betting accounts, hold player balances or process gaming transactions. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we act as the controller of personal data collected through this website unless this policy states otherwise.

2. Contact details

If you have questions about this privacy policy, or if you want to exercise your rights in relation to personal data, you may contact us by email at privacy@slotspherexgb15.co.uk. We monitor that inbox for privacy requests, correction notices and concerns about the accuracy of the information in this document. When writing to us, please include enough detail for us to identify the issue and respond efficiently.

3. Personal data we may collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with the site. It may include technical data such as IP address, browser type, approximate location derived from device settings, language preference, referrer information, pages viewed and time spent on pages. If you contact us directly, we may also process the content of your message, your name, your email address and any information you voluntarily provide. We do not ask for gambling account credentials, payment card numbers or government identity documents through this website.

4. Age confirmation data

This site is designed for adults aged 18 or over. To prevent the age gate from reappearing on every visit, we store a local browser record showing whether the age prompt has been confirmed. That record is held in your own browser storage rather than in a public-facing form. Its purpose is functional. We use it to remember that access has already been confirmed on the device in use, and not as a substitute for operator-level age verification carried out by casinos themselves.

5. Cookie preference data

We also store a local record of your cookie choice so the banner does not continue to interrupt your browsing. If you accept optional analytics, we may process basic usage information to understand which pages attract attention and whether visitors move between review content and policy pages in predictable ways. That helps us improve page structure and readability. If you decline optional analytics, only essential preference storage is used for age confirmation and consent memory.

6. How we use personal data

We use personal data to run the website, secure it, respond to messages, review traffic patterns, enforce our terms and maintain records where legally necessary. We may also use aggregated information to understand which reviews or educational sections are being read most often. We do not use personal data to profile visitors for gambling behaviour, nor do we sell mailing lists or visitor histories to third parties. The purpose of our processing is tied to running a content website, not to operating a gambling service.

7. Lawful bases for processing

Depending on the activity, our lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent and compliance with legal obligations. We rely on legitimate interests when maintaining site security, answering enquiries and understanding how readers use the content in a proportionate way. We rely on consent where optional analytics or similar technologies are used. We rely on legal obligations when we need to retain information to meet regulatory, tax or dispute-resolution requirements. Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it by adjusting your browser settings or contacting us.

8. Sharing information with third parties

We may share personal data with service providers that support the hosting, analytics, security or maintenance of the site. Those providers are required to process data only on our instructions and to protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information where required by law, where necessary to establish or defend legal claims, or where needed to investigate abuse of the site. Links to casino operators, regulators and support organisations lead to external sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

9. International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that occurs, we take steps designed to ensure that data remains protected. Those steps may include using providers located in countries recognised as adequate, entering into approved contractual safeguards or relying on another lawful transfer mechanism. We assess transfers in context and aim to use providers that can support a sensible level of transparency about where information is handled.

10. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact enquiries may be retained for a reasonable period so we can manage follow-up questions, record how a matter was resolved and defend against potential disputes. Technical logs may be kept for security and performance monitoring for a shorter period, unless a longer retention window is justified by an incident review. Data that is no longer needed is deleted, anonymised or otherwise put beyond practical use.

11. Your rights

Under data protection law, you may have the right to request access to personal data, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request erasure in certain circumstances, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests and request data portability where the law provides for it. If we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent. These rights are not absolute. Some requests may be refused or limited where exemptions apply, but we will explain the basis for our response.

12. How to make a rights request

If you want to exercise one of the rights above, email privacy@slotspherexgb15.co.uk with enough information for us to identify the relevant data. We may ask for clarification if a request is broad or unclear. In some situations we may need to verify identity before taking action, especially if the request could expose information to the wrong person. We aim to respond within the timescales required by law and will keep you informed if a request is complex.

13. Security measures

We use administrative, technical and organisational measures that are appropriate for a content website of this type. These may include access controls, hosting protections, software updates, logging, backup arrangements and restricted handling of incoming correspondence. No internet-based service can promise absolute security, but we work to reduce predictable risks and to respond quickly when something does not look right. Visitors also play a role by using secure devices and being cautious about what they include in any message sent to us.

14. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle personal data, please contact us first so we can investigate and try to put the matter right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom if you believe data protection law has been breached. We would appreciate the chance to address concerns directly before a complaint escalates, but that choice remains yours.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy when the website changes, when our service providers change or when legal requirements develop. The version published on this page is the version that applies at the time of your visit. We encourage readers to review the policy periodically if they use the site often, particularly after major site updates or changes to the cookie tools and analytics settings described here.
