This notice covers the personal data collected by this site, an independent information resource covering Fishandspins casino content, and it does not describe how the operator itself handles player data on its own platform. If you're looking for the casino's own player-data practices, those sit inside its own terms and privacy pages, not here. What follows is the short version, then the detail underneath it.
The short version
We collect a small amount of technical data automatically when you browse this site, and a small amount of data you give us directly if you contact us. We don't sell data to anyone, and we don't share it with the casino brand we write about. Anyone using this site is expected to be 18 or over (18+), in line with UK gambling-content standards.
Data you hand over vs data we observe
Two categories cover almost everything we hold. The first is what you actively give us: your name and email address, if you fill in a contact form, plus whatever you write in the message itself. The second is what we observe passively as you browse — your approximate location from your IP address, the browser and device type you're using, the pages you visit, and how long you stay on them. This second category is collected through cookies and similar technologies, detailed in our separate cookie policy.
- Contact-form submissions: name, email address, message content
- Device and browser information: type, operating system, screen size
- Usage data: pages viewed, time on page, referring site
- Approximate location: derived from IP address, not precise geolocation
Why we process it and on what basis
We process contact-form data to answer your query, which is a legitimate interest in running a functioning editorial inbox. We process browsing data to understand which content is useful and to keep the site running reliably — again a legitimate interest, except where a cookie requires your consent, which is handled through the cookie banner described in our cookie policy. We do not process any data for automated decision-making, and we do not build player profiles.
Processors and transfers
Some data passes through third-party processors that support this site — hosting infrastructure, analytics tools and, if used, advertising partners. These processors act under instruction and only handle what is needed to provide their service. Where a processor is based outside the UK or EEA, we rely on the safeguards that UK data protection law requires for that transfer. We do not sell personal data, and we do not pass it to Fishandspins or any other operator we write about.
Exercising your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it if it's wrong, ask us to erase it, restrict how we use it, receive a portable copy, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis we rely on. To exercise any of these, write to [email protected] and we'll respond within a reasonable period. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent regulator for data protection.
What we retain, and for how long
Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to resolve the query and for a short period afterwards in case of follow-up. Technical and usage data collected via cookies is retained according to the durations set out in our cookie policy — some session-only, some for longer where analytics require it.
Under-18s
This site, and the gambling content it discusses, is intended for adults aged 18+ only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age, and if we become aware that we have, we'll delete it. Parents or guardians concerned about a device being shared with a minor should consider parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio alongside any gambling-specific blocking tools.
Changes to this notice
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates or in data protection law. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. This notice was last reviewed in 2026.
Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available at BeGambleAware.org.
