Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Bonus Deck Britain handles personal data when you use this editorial comparison website. It is written for a UK audience and reflects our role as an independent content publisher rather than a gambling operator. If you visit a featured casino, that operator will apply its own privacy policy to any data you provide there.
1. Who we are
Bonus Deck Britain is the data controller for personal data processed through this website for our own editorial, operational and compliance purposes. We do not run gambling products, hold player balances or process withdrawals. Our responsibility is limited to the data we collect in connection with the site itself, such as contact messages, basic analytics and consent preferences.
2. What information we collect
The amount of information we collect is intentionally narrow. It may include email details if you contact us, technical device information such as browser type and IP-derived diagnostics from server logs, cookie preference data, age-confirmation state stored in your browser and aggregated analytics events showing how pages are used. We do not knowingly collect special category data through the site and we do not invite users to send gambling account credentials.
3. How we collect information
Data reaches us in three main ways. First, you may provide it directly if you email us. Second, your browser shares routine technical data when it requests a page. Third, analytics or consent tools may record limited behavioural information, such as page views or interaction events, where this is lawful. We do not scrape personal data from operator accounts and we do not merge our site analytics with casino account data.
4. Why we use personal data
We use data to operate the website, keep it secure, respond to messages, understand which pages are being read, diagnose technical issues, document consent choices and meet legal obligations. We may also use limited analytics information to improve page layout, readability and internal navigation. We do not use your data to profile your gambling behaviour across operators or to make automated decisions about eligibility for gambling products.
5. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our lawful bases vary by activity. We rely on legitimate interests for site security, routine administration and understanding how readers use the website in a proportionate way. We rely on consent where required for non-essential cookies or analytics tools. We may rely on legal obligation where we must retain records or answer lawful requests. If you email us, processing may also be necessary to respond to your request before taking any further action.
6. Cookies, local storage and similar tools
The site stores an age-confirmation flag and a cookie-consent preference in your browser so the page can remember those choices. Those items are small and functional. We may also use low-volume analytics cookies or similar measurement tools to understand which articles are useful and where readers stop scrolling. More detail is available in our separate cookie policy, which should be read together with this notice.
7. Analytics and log data
Like most websites, we receive log information from web requests. This can include IP address, request time, browser details, referring URL and pages viewed. Logs help us troubleshoot faults, investigate abuse and maintain the service. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate wherever possible. We prefer trends over identity and do not design the site around intrusive personal tracking.
8. Affiliate links and third parties
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you click one, a tracking partner or operator may recognise that the visit came from our site. That interaction is usually governed by the third party’s own privacy material once you leave our pages. We are not responsible for how an operator handles account registration data, payment data or customer due diligence information. Readers should review the operator’s policy before registering.
9. Data sharing
We may share limited information with hosting providers, analytics vendors, email providers, professional advisers or service suppliers who help us run the site. We require such parties to process data only on appropriate instructions and with reasonable safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulatory request or to protect the rights, property or safety of the site, its users or others.
10. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we expect appropriate transfer measures to be used, such as adequacy regulations, international data transfer agreements or comparable contractual protections. The fact that a provider operates globally does not remove our responsibility to assess whether the transfer framework is suitable for the type of data involved.
11. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, plus any period required for dispute handling, record keeping or legal compliance. Contact emails may be retained while a request is active and for a reasonable period afterwards. Technical logs are kept for security and diagnostic needs. Consent preferences remain in your browser until they expire or you clear them.
12. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, ask for correction, seek erasure, restrict certain processing, object to processing carried out on legitimate interests, withdraw consent where processing depends on consent and request data portability in suitable cases. These rights are not absolute, but we take them seriously. To exercise them, contact dataprotection@bonusdeckbritain.co.uk. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unfairly.
13. Children
This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children. If you believe a minor has provided personal data to us, contact us so that we can review and remove the information where appropriate.
14. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect site data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse or alteration. No online service can promise absolute security, but we keep the scope of data small on purpose and review access needs carefully. Readers should also take care when sending information by email and avoid including unnecessary personal details.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect operational changes, legal developments or new tools on the website. When we do, we will revise the stated date and publish the updated version on this page. Material changes will be described in clear language rather than buried in small print.
