Privacy Policy – Fish Spins
This privacy policy explains how fishspins.uk collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. Fish Spins Casino is an independent information portal; this notice covers what we do with your data, not what the operator collects once you register with them directly.
Who controls your data
fishspins.uk is the data controller for any personal information you provide to us through this website. We are responsible for ensuring your data is processed lawfully, transparently and securely under UK data protection law.
What information we gather
We collect two kinds of data: information you give us directly, and technical data your browser sends automatically.
Information you provide: When you use our contact form or send an email to [email protected], we receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We store this only as long as needed to respond and then delete it within 90 days unless you ask us to keep a record.
Automatic technical data: Your browser shares your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, pages visited and the time you spent on each. We collect this through cookies and server logs to understand how the site is used and to fix technical problems.
Why we process your data
We use the information above to operate this portal, answer your questions and improve the content. Specifically:
- responding to enquiries sent via email or contact form;
- understanding which pages are read most, so we can focus our editorial effort;
- detecting technical errors and security threats;
- complying with legal obligations, including tax and record-keeping requirements.
We do not use your personal data for marketing, and we never sell it to anyone.
Lawful basis under UK GDPR
We process your contact-form data under legitimate interests — running an information service and answering reader questions. We process technical data under legitimate interests as well, specifically site security and performance monitoring. Where we use cookies that require consent (analytics and advertising), we ask for it through the banner you see on your first visit.
Who else sees your information
We share data with a small number of third parties who help us run the site:
- Hosting provider: stores the site's files and your contact submissions on servers within the EU.
- Analytics service: processes anonymised usage data (pages visited, time on site, approximate location from your IP address) to generate traffic reports. No personally identifiable information leaves our control here.
- Advertising partners: may set cookies to show relevant ads; they receive a pseudonymous identifier, never your name or email.
None of these parties may use your data for their own purposes. We have agreements with each of them requiring UK GDPR-equivalent protection, even where processing happens outside the UK.
Your rights under data protection law
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you, free of charge;
- Rectification — ask us to correct anything inaccurate;
- Erasure — request deletion of your data where we no longer need it;
- Restriction — ask us to stop processing temporarily while a dispute is resolved;
- Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format;
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- Withdraw consent at any time, where consent was the lawful basis.
Exercising any of these rights does not cost you anything, and we will respond within one month.
How to make a request
Email [email protected] with "Data Request" in the subject line. Tell us which right you want to exercise and provide enough detail for us to locate your information — the email address you used to contact us is usually sufficient. We may ask for proof of identity before releasing personal data, to protect against fraud.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
Keeping your data safe
We protect your information with HTTPS encryption, regular software updates and restricted access to our systems. Only the editorial team can read contact submissions, and technical logs are pseudonymised before analysis. No security system is perfect, but we take every reasonable step to prevent unauthorised access, loss or misuse.
How long we keep your data
Contact-form submissions are deleted 90 days after we reply, unless you ask us to keep a longer record for follow-up. Server logs (IP address, page visits) are anonymised after 26 months. Cookies expire according to the retention period set out in our cookie policy — typically 12 months for analytics, up to 24 months for advertising preferences.
Children and young people
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us their data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it immediately.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in law or in how we operate the site. The date below shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of this page for 30 days, so check back if it has been a while since your last visit.
