1. Scope of this policy
This privacy policy applies to the Casinobeacon10 website, including our editorial comparison pages, legal notices and contact channels. It does not apply to the casino operators or third-party sites that may be linked from our reviews. When you leave Casinobeacon10 and visit a featured casino, that operator will process your data under its own privacy policy and account terms. We therefore encourage readers to review each external site's notices carefully before registering, depositing or contacting support.
2. Who we are
Casinobeacon10 is an independent editorial comparison site focused on UK-facing online casino reviews. We are not a gambling operator and we do not run player accounts, hold customer balances or process gambling transactions. For privacy questions related to this site, you can contact us at privacy@casinobeacon10.co.uk. If your concern relates to a casino account or bonus dispute, you must also contact the relevant operator directly because we do not control its customer systems.
3. Information we may collect
The data we handle is limited. It can include technical usage data such as browser type, approximate location by country, referring page, time of visit and pages viewed. It can also include information you provide if you contact us by email, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message. We may also record cookie consent and age-gate preferences in your browser so that notices do not reappear on every page load.
4. How we collect information
Data is collected in three main ways. First, your browser automatically sends basic technical signals when a page is loaded. Second, analytics or affiliate tracking tools may record a visit or outbound click in aggregated form. Third, if you write to us, we receive the information contained in that communication. We do not invite users to create accounts on Casinobeacon10, and we do not request payment details, copies of identity documents or sensitive gambling account records through our own forms.
5. Why we use personal data
We use data to run and improve the site, respond to legitimate enquiries, understand which pages are useful and measure whether links to featured operators are working properly. We may also use limited data to detect abuse, defend legal claims or comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data. We also do not use your contact details to send broad marketing emails unless you have clearly asked for a response or ongoing conversation about a topic you raised with us.
6. Lawful bases under GDPR
Our main lawful bases are legitimate interests, consent and legal obligation. Legitimate interests cover core site administration, performance analysis, fraud prevention and responding to editorial enquiries in a proportionate way. Consent applies where cookies or similar tools are used for non-essential purposes, or where you choose to contact us knowing we will need to read and store your message to answer it. Legal obligation may apply if we need to keep records to meet regulatory, accounting or dispute-resolution requirements.
7. Cookies, local storage and preference records
Casinobeacon10 uses a combination of cookies and local browser storage to remember whether you have confirmed the 18+ notice and whether you have responded to the cookie banner. These settings are stored locally in your browser using simple keys so that the page can load without repeated interruption. We may also use basic analytics technologies to understand visits in aggregate. More detail is provided in our separate Cookies Policy.
8. Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click them, a third party may receive technical information that helps attribute a referral. That information may include time of click, source page or device context. We do not see your casino password, banking steps or play history through that process. External partners act as separate controllers or processors in relation to their own systems, and their privacy terms will apply once you interact with their services.
9. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected. Contact emails may be stored for the time required to resolve the enquiry, maintain an editorial record or defend against a complaint. Technical logs and analytics data are retained for shorter operational periods where possible. Local age and cookie preferences remain in your own browser until they expire, are overwritten or you clear local storage yourself.
10. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where that happens, we expect an appropriate transfer mechanism to be used, such as adequacy regulations or contractual safeguards. We also aim to minimise the amount of personal data involved in such processing. If you want more information about transfer arrangements linked to an enquiry you have made, contact us and we will explain what is relevant to your case, subject to legal and confidentiality limits.
11. Your rights
Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction, request deletion, object to certain processing, ask for restriction or request portability where the legal criteria are met. You also have the right to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights are not absolute, but we take them seriously and will review each request carefully. We may need to verify identity before acting.
12. Complaints and contact
If you have a privacy concern, contact us first at privacy@casinobeacon10.co.uk so we can try to resolve it directly. If you are unhappy with our response, you may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom. We may update this policy from time to time if the site changes, if our providers change or if the law develops. The latest version published on this page will apply from the stated update date.
