We keep data use lean, explain the legal basis, and give UK readers a clear route to exercise their rights.

1. Scope of this policy

This privacy policy explains how Spin Wall Gallery collects, uses, stores and shares personal data when you visit or interact with this website. It applies to information processed in connection with the editorial comparison service available at spinwallgallery.co.uk. The site is aimed at adults in Great Britain and is not intended for anyone under 18. We are not a gambling operator and do not process player account transactions for casinos.

2. Controller details

For the purposes of UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, Spin Wall Gallery acts as the controller of personal data described in this policy. Questions about privacy can be sent to dataprotection@spinwallgallery.co.uk. If you contact us, we may ask for enough information to verify your identity before discussing request details.

3. Data we collect directly

Most visitors can read the site without submitting directly identifying information. If you email us, the information you provide may include your name, email address, the content of your message, any attachments you choose to send and any follow-up information exchanged while we handle your enquiry. We may also record the date and time of communication, the subject of the request and our response history so that we can manage the correspondence properly and avoid repeating questions unnecessarily.

4. Data collected automatically

When you browse the site, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our server or analytics tools. This can include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate session timing and general interaction data. We also use local browser storage to remember whether you have passed the age gate and whether you have responded to the cookie banner. Those storage items are described in our cookie policy and help the site function in an orderly way.

5. Why we process personal data

We process data for several limited purposes: to operate and secure the website, remember essential settings, understand in broad terms how readers use the site, respond to enquiries, detect abuse or technical issues, improve editorial presentation and comply with legal obligations. We do not use the site to build a behavioural gambling profile of readers. We are interested in keeping the service functional, lawful and readable, not in conducting intrusive surveillance.

6. Lawful bases under UK GDPR

Our lawful bases depend on the activity involved. We rely on legitimate interests where processing is necessary to run, secure and improve the site in a proportionate way, including limited analytics and anti-abuse monitoring. We rely on consent where that is appropriate for non-essential cookies or similar technologies. We rely on legal obligation where we must retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law, regulatory expectations or lawful requests from authorities. Where you contact us directly, we may also process your data because doing so is necessary to answer the request you initiated.

7. How long we keep data

Retention depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected. Contact emails and correspondence may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain an internal record of the outcome and protect the site in the event of later disputes. Technical logs are usually kept for a shorter operational period unless a longer period is required for security investigation or legal reasons. Age confirmation and cookie-consent storage remain in your browser until they expire, are overwritten or are removed by you through browser settings.

8. Sharing and recipients

We may share limited data with service providers who help host the website, provide analytics, process email or maintain the technical operation of the site. Those providers are expected to process data only on our instructions or under their own lawful basis where they act independently. We may also disclose data where necessary to comply with law, protect rights, investigate misuse or respond to a lawful governmental request. We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of that phrase.

9. International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we take steps intended to ensure that the transfer has an appropriate legal mechanism and that your information receives a level of protection required under UK data protection rules. Depending on the provider, that may include adequacy regulations, contractual safeguards or comparable protective measures.

10. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, request rectification of inaccurate data, request erasure in certain circumstances, request restriction of processing, object to processing carried out on a legitimate interests basis, and request data portability where the legal conditions apply. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent, although withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before it was withdrawn.

These rights are not absolute. For example, we may need to keep some information to comply with law, to defend legal claims or to maintain a reliable record of a completed request.

11. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle personal data, please contact us first so we can understand the issue and try to resolve it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom if you believe your data has been processed in a way that breaches data protection law. We would still appreciate the chance to address the matter directly before it reaches that stage.

12. External websites and operators

This site contains links to casino operators, safer-gambling organisations and other third-party resources. Once you leave Spin Wall Gallery, their privacy policies and terms apply. We do not control their systems, account data, payment handling or customer verification processes. If your concern relates to a casino account or an operator's use of your information, you must contact that operator directly.

13. Security and policy changes

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect data appropriate to the nature of the site, though no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed perfectly secure. We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal or editorial changes. The version published on this page is the one that applies at the time of access unless stated otherwise.
