1. Introduction
GameDataUK respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data. By using our site, you accept the terms of this policy.
2. Information We Collect
GameDataUK collects information through:
- Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how you use the site, including pages visited, time spent, and device type. This helps us improve our service.
- Visitor IDs: When you click casino links, we generate an anonymous visitor ID (random string) to track click-through rates and ensure affiliate validation.
- Consent Preferences: We store your cookie consent choice in localStorage.
- Voluntary Information: If you contact us via email, we receive the information you provide.
3. Visitor ID Explanation
When you click "Access Offer" on a casino link, we attach a random Visitor ID (e.g., `visitor_ID=a1b2c3d4e5f6`). This ID does NOT identify you personally—it's used by casinos to track referral credit and is not connected to your personal identity.
We do NOT track your name, email, or personal details through Visitor IDs.
4. Cookies & Analytics
GameDataUK uses the following cookies:
- Google Analytics: `_ga`, `_gid`, `_gat` cookies track anonymous usage data (pages visited, bounce rate, session duration). Data is anonymized.
- Consent Cookie: `cookieConsent` stores your cookie preference in localStorage.
We do NOT use cookies to identify you personally. Cookies are used only for analytics and preference storage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
5. Data We Don't Collect
GameDataUK does NOT collect:
- Your name, email address, or phone number (unless you contact us)
- Financial data or bank details
- Passwords or authentication credentials
- Your casino account details or betting history
- IP addresses linked to identity
- Behavioral tracking across other websites
6. How We Use Data
We use collected information to:
- Analyze site usage and improve user experience
- Track affiliate commission validation
- Respect your cookie consent preference
- Respond to inquiries or support requests
- Comply with legal obligations
7. Third-Party Operators
When you click a casino link and register with an operator, you are providing data directly to that casino, NOT to GameDataUK. Your account, deposit, and gameplay data is governed by the operator's privacy policy and UKGC regulations—not by GameDataUK's privacy policy.
Always read the operator's privacy policy before registering.
8. Data Sharing
GameDataUK does NOT sell or share personal data with third parties except:
- Google Analytics: Anonymized usage data (compliant with Google's privacy terms)
- Affiliate Networks: Anonymized click-through data for commission tracking
- Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or regulatory body
9. Data Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary:
- Analytics Data: Automatically deleted after 26 months (Google Analytics standard)
- Visitor IDs: Not stored by GameDataUK; passed to operators in real-time
- Email Inquiries: Retained until issue is resolved, then deleted
10. Your Rights (GDPR)
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access: Request what data we hold about you
- Deletion: Request we delete your data
- Correction: Request we correct inaccurate data
- Portability: Request your data in a portable format
- Opt-Out: Disable analytics cookies in your browser
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@gamedatauk.com. We will respond within 30 days.
11. Security
GameDataUK uses industry-standard security measures (HTTPS encryption, secure hosting) to protect your data. However, no online transmission is 100% secure. We are not liable for unauthorized access due to circumstances beyond our control.
12. Children & Age
GameDataUK is for users aged 18 and over only. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we become aware of data from anyone under 18, we will delete it immediately.
13. Consent Banner
When you first visit GameDataUK, you see our cookie consent banner. By clicking "Accept," you consent to analytics cookies and our privacy practices. By clicking "Decline," we do not load analytics cookies (though technical cookies for site function remain). Your preference is saved in localStorage.
14. Policy Changes
We may update this policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last modified" date. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
