This privacy policy explains how ghostino-casino.org.uk ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit our independent Ghostino Casino review portal. We are committed to transparency under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This notice applies only to our informational site; once you register with the operator, their own privacy policy governs what happens to your data there.
Scope of this notice
This policy covers the information we collect through ghostino-casino.org.uk. It does not cover the casino operator's own data practices—those are set out in the operator's terms, which you agree to when you open an account with them. Our role is to provide information and marketing content about Ghostino; we do not handle player accounts, deposits, withdrawals or customer-support queries on behalf of the operator.
Who controls your data
The data controller for information collected via ghostino-casino.org.uk is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach our data-privacy contact at [email protected]. Any data you provide directly to the casino operator—through registration, deposits or support tickets—is controlled by that operator under its own privacy terms.
Categories of information we collect
We collect two broad types of information:
- Technical and usage data – IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and device identifiers. This is gathered automatically via server logs and third-party analytics scripts.
- Voluntary submissions – name, email address and message content when you use our contact form. We do not collect payment details, identity documents or account credentials; those belong to the operator's own registration flow.
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If we discover that a minor has submitted personal data, we will delete it promptly.
Lawful basis and purposes
We process your information under the following lawful bases:
- Legitimate interests – running an informational website, understanding how visitors use our content, and improving the user experience. We balance these interests against your privacy rights.
- Consent – where you explicitly agree to analytics or marketing cookies through our cookie banner.
- Legal obligation – retaining records where required by law.
Good to know: we use technical data to monitor traffic patterns, identify popular content and troubleshoot site errors. Contact-form submissions allow us to reply to your questions about our editorial content.
Third-party processors and transfers
To keep ghostino-casino.org.uk running, we share data with a small number of third parties:
- Analytics providers – these services track page views and user journeys in aggregate. Data may be transferred outside the UK to countries with adequacy decisions or under standard contractual clauses.
- Hosting and CDN – our web host stores site files and serves content; server logs containing IP addresses reside on their infrastructure.
- Advertising partners – if you consent to marketing cookies, ad networks may place identifiers to show relevant offers. You can withdraw consent at any time via your browser settings.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Any sharing is limited to the purposes described here, and we require processors to handle data securely and in line with UK GDPR.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access – request a copy of the information we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure – request deletion of your data where no legal basis remains for keeping it.
- Restriction – limit how we process your information while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent – revoke any consent you previously gave, without affecting prior lawful processing.
How to exercise your rights
To make a request, email [email protected] with "Data Subject Request" in the subject line. Include enough detail for us to identify you—typically the email address you used when contacting us. We will respond within one month, though complex requests may take up to three months with an explanation for the delay.
If you are unhappy with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call their helpline for guidance.
Retention periods
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above:
- Server logs and analytics data are typically retained for 12–24 months, then anonymised or deleted.
- Contact-form submissions are kept for two years to maintain a record of correspondence, then purged unless a legal obligation requires longer retention.
- Cookie identifiers expire according to the lifespans set by each provider—session cookies vanish when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may last up to two years.
Once the retention period ends, we securely delete or anonymise the data so it can no longer identify you.
Protection of minors
Our portal is intended for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from anyone under 18. Parents and guardians who suspect a minor has submitted data to us should contact [email protected] immediately, and we will delete it without undue delay. Consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content on shared devices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last revised" date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via a banner on the site. Continued use of ghostino-casino.org.uk after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Contact us
For questions about this privacy policy, to exercise your data-protection rights, or to raise a concern, write to [email protected]. We aim to reply within 48 hours during business days.
