We are committed to respecting your privacy concerning any data we might gather from you on our website, http://www.casinodealz.co.uk, and other platforms we own and manage.
This Privacy Policy is an integral part of our Terms of Use and outlines the Company’s practices concerning the privacy of users visiting our website. Within this Privacy Policy, we elaborate on the ways we gather, utilize, and share user information, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (‘CCPA’) where relevant.
We only request personal information when it’s essential for offering a service to you. This collection is done transparently, legally, and with your awareness and agreement. In line with the GDPR, we clarify the legal grounds on which we handle user information on our website:
Upon registering for our services, we process your personal details:
- to fulfil our agreement with you;
- for direct marketing activities or online identifiers when you visit our site;

We hold onto the information we gather only for the period required to deliver the service you’ve requested. The information we keep is secured using industry-recognized methods to guard against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, usage, or alteration.
We urge users to go through this Privacy Policy to make an informed choice about whether to engage with our website or share any personal data with us.

What data we collect and how we use it
- Non-personal Data encompasses non-specific user details which might be acquired or accumulated as you navigate our website and use our services. Crucially, this data doesn’t reveal your identity to us.
- Personal Data, on the other hand, refers to distinct information that can reasonably pinpoint an individual.
- If Non-personal Data and Personal Data are merged, we will consider the entire set as Personal Data.
Here’s a breakdown of the data types we might collect and our reasons for doing so:
- Technical and aggregate user data sourced from website interactions. This encompasses details such as the browser type, operating system, device used, website access times, browsing habits, language settings, and approximate geographical location. We utilize this data exclusively to refine our services and ensure our website functions effectively.
- Users who reach out via our site’s contact form, or through email or other channels, might be prompted to share specific details like their name and email address. We process this info to address your needs or reply to your messages. Our interactions may be stored for reference in case of future communications or to bolster our service quality.
- Those who opt-in for periodic emails, like newsletters, will provide their name and email. Subscribers can opt-out any time by clicking “Unsubscribe” in emails or reaching out to us. We use your data solely for the purpose of sending the communications you’ve signed up for.
- When users comment or offer feedback on the website, they’ll be prompted for a name and email. An option to link via a social media account (e.g., Google or Facebook) may be available. These networks might share certain public user details with us. Approved comments are displayed with the provided name or social profile. We might also inform users about replies to their comments. The primary use of this data is to authenticate, post, and manage feedback and comments. Please avoid sharing sensitive Personal Data in comments as they’re public, and we cannot control any third-party usage.
- We record user Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses. While many regions (like the EEA) view IP addresses as personal info, others don’t categorize it as Personal Data. Depending on the prevailing laws, we treat IP addresses as Personal Data. IP data aids in securing, tailoring, and optimizing our site and services. It’s also used for user behavior studies and to address any technical or security concerns. Additionally, IPs might be used for remarketing; further details can be found in our Cookies section.
- Users may voluntarily provide us with certain personal information, such as their name, phone number, email or mailing address, etc. in order to receive customised services. We use this information with the sole purpose of providing you with the services you have requested.
- Users may voluntarily subscribe to receive notifications from the website (directly or from our service providers). In this case, we will process the user’s IP address and approximate geographical location (country). We will use this information with the sole purpose of sending you notifications that you have subscribed to receive. You may unsubscribe from receiving notifications at any point, by changing your standard browser settings.
- Users who contact us voluntarily to inquire about establishing a business partnership with us may do so through the contact form on the website or other contact information we make available. Users may accordingly be requested to provide their name, company name, email address, phone number. We will use this information with the sole purpose of contacting you and evaluating the potential of a future collaboration.
