How Slot Offer Wall UK handles personal data

This privacy policy explains how Slot Offer Wall UK processes personal data as an editorial comparison website. It is written with UK GDPR principles in mind and reflects the fact that we are not a gambling operator, payment processor or customer account provider.

1. Who we are

Slot Offer Wall UK operates as an independent editorial comparison site that reviews and links to UKGC-licensed casino brands. When this policy refers to “we”, “us” or “our”, it means the publisher of this website. We act as controller for the personal data processed through the site itself, including contact forms, analytics settings, cookie preferences and basic server logs. We do not control any information you provide directly to a featured casino after leaving our domain. Each operator you visit has its own privacy obligations and should be reviewed separately.

2. Contact point for privacy matters

If you have a question about this policy or want to exercise a data right, please contact dataprotection@slotofferwalluk.co.uk. We use this dedicated address so privacy requests do not get lost among general editorial mail. When contacting us, please provide enough detail for us to identify the issue, but do not include unnecessary sensitive information. We may need to confirm identity before releasing data or making a deletion that could affect someone else.

3. Categories of personal data we may process

The data we process is limited by the nature of the site. It may include technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP, operating system, referrer, page views, scroll depth or timestamps. It may also include information you voluntarily send to us, such as your name, email address and message content if you write with a correction request, compliance question or other enquiry. We may also process cookie preference status and age-confirmation status so the site can function as intended for returning visitors.

4. Why we use personal data

We use technical and preference data to keep the site working, prevent abuse, understand whether pages are readable, and measure which editorial sections are actually used. Contact data is used to answer messages, review potential corrections and maintain an internal record of previous correspondence. We do not use the site to build behavioural profiles for gambling marketing, and we do not sell personal data. If analytics are used, the purpose is to understand editorial performance and site reliability rather than to target individuals.

5. Lawful bases under UK GDPR

Depending on context, our lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent and compliance with legal obligations. We rely on legitimate interests for core website security, basic operational logging and understanding whether our editorial pages are functioning properly. We rely on consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies where consent is required. If we must retain information to respond to a complaint, legal request or regulatory issue, we may rely on legal obligation or legitimate interests in protecting our business and users. We review those bases periodically to ensure they still fit the processing involved.

6. Cookies, local storage and similar tools

The site uses a limited set of storage tools, including local storage entries for age confirmation and cookie preference, because those choices need to persist between visits. We may also use essential cookies or comparable technologies for security, performance and language or presentation settings. Non-essential analytics technologies, where used, are only activated in line with the preference framework presented on the site. More detail about cookie categories, retention and control methods appears in our dedicated Cookie Policy.

7. Analytics and editorial measurement

Understanding whether readers stop at the hero, use the glossary or reach the legal pages helps us improve the editorial structure. For that reason, we may measure events such as page loads, navigation clicks, approximate device classes and engagement depth. We try to keep this proportionate. We are interested in whether a page is useful, not in building an intimate dossier about any individual visitor. Where analytics providers are used, they are selected with privacy, security and data minimisation in mind.

8. Sharing data with third parties

We may share limited data with service providers that help us host the site, secure it, analyse performance or manage email. Those providers are expected to act under appropriate contractual controls and only process data in connection with the services they provide. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order or regulatory request, or where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. We do not share personal data with featured casinos merely because you read our editorial pages.

9. International transfers

Some technology suppliers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we take steps intended to keep transfer risk proportionate and lawful. Depending on the provider and destination, those steps may include adequacy regulations, contractual safeguards or supplementary technical and organisational measures. No transfer method is treated as a blank cheque; we assess the context and whether the transfer is actually necessary for the site service being used.

10. Retention

We keep data only for as long as there is a valid reason to do so. Server and security logs are generally retained for a limited period suited to operational review and incident investigation. Contact emails may be kept longer where they relate to accuracy corrections, complaints or ongoing legal or compliance matters. Cookie and preference data may remain on your device until removed or replaced, subject to browser controls and the retention logic of the relevant technology. We review retention periodically rather than letting data accumulate by default.

11. Your rights

Under applicable UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing and data portability in appropriate cases. Rights are not absolute and may depend on the legal basis involved, but we take requests seriously and aim to respond within the timeframe required by law. If you are unhappy with how we respond, you may also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

12. Children and age limits

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly target children and do not intentionally collect personal data from minors through the site. The age-confirmation mechanism exists because the subject matter concerns gambling comparison content for an adult audience. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, contact us and we will review the matter promptly.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect the site and the information under our control. That includes limiting unnecessary collection, using reputable infrastructure, restricting internal access where appropriate and keeping an eye on operational anomalies. No internet service can promise perfect security, but a smaller editorial site still benefits from disciplined handling and modest collection. Data minimisation is itself one of the strongest safeguards.

14. Updates to this policy

We may revise this privacy policy when the site changes, when legal expectations shift or when we adopt or remove service providers. The latest version will always appear on this page. If a change materially affects how we handle data, we will update the wording clearly rather than hiding the change in vague summary text. The policy should be read together with our cookie and terms pages so the legal picture stays complete.
