This privacy policy explains how blue-betz.uk ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our independent casino review portal. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Bluebetz Casino is the operator we review; we are a separate informational site with our own data practices.
Scope of this notice
This policy covers only the information we collect through blue-betz.uk. Once you click through to the operator's own platform and register an account there, their privacy policy applies instead. We have no access to player accounts, deposits, or any personal data you submit directly to the casino.
Who controls your data
The data controller for blue-betz.uk is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach us at [email protected] with any questions about how we handle your information.
Categories of information we collect
We collect two kinds of data:
- Technical information – your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages you visit, and the time you spend on each one. This is gathered automatically through cookies and similar technologies.
- Information you provide – your name and email address if you contact us through our contact form, or any other details you choose to share in a message.
We do not collect payment details, identity documents, or any sensitive personal data. We are a review site, not a transactional platform.
Lawful basis for processing
We process your data under the following lawful bases:
- Consent – when you accept cookies through our banner, or when you submit a contact form.
- Legitimate interests – to understand how visitors use our site, improve our content, and ensure the portal runs securely. We balance this against your privacy rights and never use your data in ways you would not reasonably expect.
How we use your information
We use the data we collect to:
- respond to your enquiries sent via email or contact form;
- analyse site traffic and visitor behaviour through third-party analytics tools;
- serve relevant advertising where you have consented;
- detect and prevent fraud, spam, or misuse of the portal;
- comply with legal obligations, such as responding to court orders or regulatory requests.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Sharing your data
Your information may be shared with:
- Service providers – hosting companies, analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics), email service providers, and content delivery networks. These processors act on our instructions and are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Advertising partners – where you have consented to personalised ads, networks may receive anonymised identifiers to serve relevant content. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings.
- Legal authorities – if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
Some of these processors may be located outside the UK. Where transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you |
| Rectification | Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information |
| Erasure | Request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for us to keep it |
| Restriction | Limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format |
| Objection | Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing |
| Withdraw consent | Revoke consent for cookie use or contact-form processing at any time |
How to exercise your rights
To make a request, email us at [email protected] with "Data Subject Request" in the subject line. Include enough detail for us to verify your identity and locate your information. We aim to respond within one month, though complex requests may take longer.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In the UK, that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), reachable at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy:
- Analytics data – anonymised and aggregated after 26 months, in line with Google Analytics retention settings.
- Contact-form submissions – kept for up to two years to track correspondence, then deleted unless we have a legal obligation to retain them longer.
- Cookie data – session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies last up to 24 months, depending on the type and your consent choices.
Protection of minors
This portal is intended for visitors aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact [email protected] immediately and we will delete it without undue delay.
Security measures
We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure hosting environments, and access controls limiting who can view personal information. However, no online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service providers. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of blue-betz.uk after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Contact us
For questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
