1. Scope of this policy
This privacy policy explains how Slot Perk Market collects, stores, uses and protects personal information when you visit or interact with this website. It applies to the editorial platform available at slotperkmarket.co.uk and to communications sent from this domain. It does not cover the privacy practices of external casino operators, payment services or support organisations linked from our pages. Once you leave this site, the privacy rules of the destination service take over.
2. Who we are
Slot Perk Market is an independent editorial comparison website focused on UK-facing casino reviews and offer commentary. We are not a gambling operator. We do not provide betting or gaming services and we do not hold customer balances. For privacy questions, data access requests or complaints about how we handle information, you can contact us at dataprotection@slotperkmarket.co.uk.
3. Information we may collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the site. If you simply browse, we may collect limited technical data such as browser type, device category, pages viewed, referral source, approximate region and on-site actions captured through privacy-conscious analytics. If you write to us, we may receive your name, email address, message content and any details you choose to include in your request. We also store age-confirmation and cookie-consent choices in local storage on your device so the site remembers them between visits.
4. Information we do not intentionally seek
We do not intentionally request or process special category data, financial account details, gambling account credentials or copies of identity documents through this site. Readers should not send that material to us. Because our role is editorial, there is normally no reason for us to receive sensitive casino-account information, and if such material is sent inadvertently we will handle it with care and, where appropriate, delete it as soon as reasonably practicable.
5. How we collect data
Information reaches us in three main ways. First, some data is collected automatically through server logs and analytics tools when pages load. Second, age-confirmation and cookie-choice values are stored locally in your browser to support the gatekeeping and consent features required on the site. Third, direct correspondence may be collected if you email us about a correction, an accessibility issue, an advertising question or a data-rights request.
6. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
We rely on several lawful bases when processing personal data. Legitimate interests support basic audience measurement, site security, fraud prevention and improvement of editorial usability, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. Consent is relied on where it is required, including choices associated with non-essential cookies should we deploy them in the future. Contract may apply if you contact us and we need to answer your request or provide a service you specifically asked for. Legal obligation may also apply where record-keeping or disclosure is required by law.
7. Why we use personal information
We use personal data to operate the site, maintain security, understand how readers move through our pages, respond to messages, document consent choices and improve editorial presentation. We may also use correspondence records to understand complaints, fix broken features, investigate misuse or refine explanations on legal and safer-gambling pages. We do not use personal information to make automated decisions about your eligibility for gambling services because we do not offer gambling services in the first place.
8. Analytics and performance monitoring
We may use low-volume analytics to understand broad behavioural patterns such as which pages are being read, where users abandon a guide and whether mobile layouts are functioning as intended. We try to keep measurement proportionate. The goal is to improve clarity and performance rather than profile individuals. Where analytics data can reasonably be linked back to a user, it is handled as personal data and protected accordingly.
9. Cookies and local storage
This site uses local storage keys named spmarket_age and spmarket_cookies to remember that you have passed the age gate and made a consent choice. These values help us avoid showing the same overlay or banner on every page load. Additional information about cookies and similar technologies is available in our cookie policy. Blocking or clearing browser storage may reset these preferences and cause the prompts to appear again.
10. Sharing data with third parties
We may share limited information with carefully chosen service providers that help us host the site, measure traffic, manage security or process communications. Those providers are expected to protect the data they receive and use it only for agreed purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to a valid legal request, to protect the rights and safety of the site, or to investigate abuse. We do not sell reader data as a standalone commercial asset.
11. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where that happens, we seek to use providers that offer appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or contractual measures designed to protect transferred data. No transfer method is perfect, but we take the issue seriously because even routine website tooling can involve international infrastructure.
12. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected. Technical logs may be retained for security and troubleshooting for a limited period. Correspondence may be kept longer if it relates to a legal issue, a complaint or an ongoing accessibility or compliance matter. Local storage items remain on your device until they expire, are overwritten or are cleared by you.
13. Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to request access to personal data, rectification of inaccurate information, erasure in certain circumstances, restriction of processing, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and data portability where applicable. You may also withdraw consent where consent is the basis relied on, though that will not affect prior processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal. To exercise a right, email dataprotection@slotperkmarket.co.uk.
14. Complaints
If you believe we have handled personal information improperly, we would prefer the opportunity to respond first. You can contact us with the details of the concern and we will review it. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK if you are not satisfied with our handling of the issue.
15. Policy updates
We may update this privacy policy when the site changes, when legal obligations shift or when our analytics and hosting arrangements are refined. The latest version published on this page will apply from the date it appears. Material changes will be reflected in the wording here rather than hidden in a silent technical revision.
