Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how CasinoP8Lab collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use our website. CasinoP8Lab is an independent editorial comparison platform focused on UK gambling information and does not operate casino games. For data protection purposes, CasinoP8Lab acts as the data controller of personal data processed through this site. This policy applies to visitors, newsletter subscribers where enabled, and users who contact us via forms or email.

We may collect identity and contact data when you voluntarily provide it, such as name and email address through our contact form. We also collect technical and usage data, including browser type, referring source, page interactions, and approximate location inferred from IP-derived analytics tools. Where users submit a message, we store the content and associated metadata needed to respond and maintain communication logs. We do not intentionally collect special category data and request that users avoid submitting sensitive personal information.

Our legal bases for processing include legitimate interests, consent, and legal obligations where applicable. Legitimate interests support core activities such as securing the site, preventing misuse, improving content quality, and responding to enquiries efficiently. Consent may be used for non-essential cookies and optional communication features. Where retention or disclosure is required by law, we may process data to satisfy statutory obligations. When we rely on legitimate interests, we balance those interests against your rights and expectations.

Data is processed to operate and improve the website, answer user messages, monitor technical performance, detect suspicious activity, and support editorial quality controls. We also use aggregate usage signals to understand which pages are useful and where users encounter friction. This helps us maintain accurate comparisons and clearer legal disclosures. We do not sell personal data. We also do not use submitted contact information for unrelated direct marketing without an appropriate lawful basis.

We may share limited data with infrastructure providers, analytics vendors, anti-abuse services, and professional advisers where needed for lawful operations. Third parties process data under contractual terms that require confidentiality, security safeguards, and restricted use. Affiliate tracking may involve third-party networks that record click events for commission reporting. Those providers may apply their own privacy terms, and we encourage users to review them before engaging with outbound links to casino websites.

Our site uses cookies and local storage for essential functionality, age-confirmation persistence, consent settings, and limited analytics. Essential technologies support navigation and security and cannot be disabled without affecting core operation. Optional analytics cookies help us measure content performance and improve layout decisions. Full details are provided in our Cookie Policy, including how to manage preferences in browser settings and how to adjust consent on this site where controls are available.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Contact form submissions are typically retained for operational follow-up and audit trail purposes, then deleted or anonymised when no longer needed. Technical logs are kept for security, diagnostics, and abuse prevention for proportionate periods. Retention may be extended where legal claims, investigations, or regulatory obligations require records to be preserved.

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. When international transfers occur, we seek appropriate safeguards such as adequacy regulations, contractual protections, and vendor security commitments designed to maintain equivalent protection. Transfer mechanisms are reviewed during vendor due diligence and periodically reassessed. If you want more information about transfer safeguards for a specific processing activity, you may contact us using the details provided below.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, and portability where relevant. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests in certain circumstances. Where consent is the legal basis, consent can be withdrawn without affecting prior lawful processing. We may ask for identity verification before acting on a request, and we will respond within the required legal timeframe.

CasinoP8Lab is intended for adults only and is not directed at children. We maintain an 18+ policy across editorial content and user interactions. If we become aware that personal data from an individual under 18 has been submitted, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information from our systems unless retention is legally required. Parents or guardians who believe data has been submitted by a minor may contact us for prompt review.

We apply technical and organisational measures aimed at reducing unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration of personal data. These controls include access limitations, logging, and provider-level infrastructure protections. No online environment can guarantee absolute security, but we evaluate our setup regularly and adjust controls based on risk. Users should also protect their own devices and use secure networks when submitting personal information through online forms.

We may update this policy to reflect legal developments, operational changes, or improvements in privacy practice. Material updates will be shown by changing the update date on this page and, where appropriate, by adding a visible notice. For privacy questions, data rights requests, or complaints, contact us at dataprotection@casinop8lab.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.
