Privacy policy

SpinDog Casino UK Guide is an independent affiliate review site. We are not a casino, we do not offer gambling, and we do not hold accounts, balances or payment details for anyone. This policy explains the limited information we collect when you visit, how we use it, the legal basis for doing so under UK data protection law, and the rights you have. It is written to be read, not to bury you in jargon. If anything here is unclear, you are welcome to contact us using the details at the end.

Who we are

We are an independent publisher of casino reviews and guides aimed at UK players. We have no affiliation with SpinDog Casino or its operator. Where we link out to the casino, those links are sponsored, but that commercial relationship does not give the operator any access to the data of people who visit this site. For the purposes of UK GDPR, we act as the data controller for the limited information described below.

What we collect, and what we do not

We deliberately keep data collection to a minimum. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not request your name, address, date of birth or payment details, because we have no need for them. The information we may process falls into two categories. The first is standard technical data that almost every website receives automatically, such as your approximate region, the type of device and browser you use, the pages you view and how you arrived at the site. The second is anonymised or aggregated analytics that help us understand which guides are useful and where the site can be improved. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, and this site and all of its content are intended only for adults aged 18 and over.

Cookies and analytics

Like most websites, we may use cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies make the site work and cannot meaningfully be switched off. Analytics cookies, where used, help us measure traffic and improve content, and are configured to avoid identifying you personally wherever possible. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and doing so will not stop you reading any of our guides. If we use any third-party analytics provider, it processes data on our behalf and under our instructions.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

When you click a link to SpinDog Casino, you leave this site and enter one operated by a different company with its own privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for how that operator, or any other third-party site we link to, handles your data, and we strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of any casino before you register or deposit. An affiliate link may record that a visit originated from this site for commission purposes, but it does not transfer personal data about you from us to the operator.

How we use information and our legal basis

We use the limited data we receive to keep the site secure and working, to understand which content is helpful, and to improve our guides. Our legal basis under UK GDPR is our legitimate interest in running and improving an editorial website, balanced against your privacy, and your consent where consent is required, such as for non-essential cookies. We do not sell your data, we do not build advertising profiles about you, and we do not use your information to contact you unless you have got in touch with us first and we are replying.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to data portability where it applies. Because we hold so little identifiable data, in many cases there will be nothing personal to provide, but we will always respond to a genuine request. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk, although we hope you would contact us first so we can put any concern right.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site works or in the law, and the current version will always be posted here. If you have any question about your privacy, want to exercise any of your rights, or simply want to understand what we do with data, please get in touch through the contact route on our about page. We will respond as promptly as we reasonably can.
