Privacy Policy

Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of mr-run-casino.co.uk ("the Site"). It describes how the Site operator collects, uses, and protects personal data in the course of providing this information service. As an independent editorial website, our data processing activities are more limited in scope than those of a licensed gambling operator, but we take our obligations under UK data protection law — including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 — seriously.

If you are looking for information about how a specific casino operator handles your data, please refer to that operator's own privacy documentation.

Categories of Data We May Collect

Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect or receive the following categories of information:

  • Identifiers — name and email address, if provided voluntarily through a contact form or account registration.
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and session duration, collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools.
  • Usage data — interaction with content, click paths, and feature usage, aggregated where possible.
  • Communications — the content of messages you submit via the contact form.

We do not collect financial data such as payment card numbers, and we do not process KYC documentation. Any such data relevant to gambling activity is handled entirely by the relevant licensed operator.

Purposes of Processing

Data collected on this Site is used for the following purposes:

  • Service delivery — enabling basic site functionality, responding to enquiries, and managing user accounts where applicable.
  • Security and fraud prevention — monitoring for abuse, bot activity, and unauthorised access attempts.
  • Analytics and performance — understanding how users navigate the Site in order to improve content and structure. Analytics data is processed in aggregated or pseudonymised form where feasible.
  • Legal compliance — retaining records where required by applicable law.

We do not sell personal data to third parties, nor do we use it to build individual profiles for advertising targeting by external parties.

Legal Bases for Processing

We rely on the following legal bases as appropriate to each processing activity:

  • Legitimate interests — for analytics and security monitoring, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps — for processing account or enquiry data.
  • Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by law.
  • Consent — for non-essential cookies, where applicable, obtained through our cookie consent mechanism.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies including local storage. These may be:

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for core functionality such as session management; these do not require consent.
  • Analytics cookies — used to measure site traffic and user behaviour (e.g. via Google Analytics or a similar service); these require your consent.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies — used to attribute referrals to casino partners; these also require consent.

You can manage cookie preferences through the consent banner presented on your first visit, or via your browser settings. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect site accessibility.

Data Sharing with Third Parties

We share data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers and processors — hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email delivery services that process data on our behalf under contractual data processing agreements.
  • Legal authorities — where disclosure is required by law, court order, or in response to a formal regulatory request.
  • Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent protections.

We do not share personal data with third-party advertisers for the purpose of direct marketing without your consent.

Retention Periods

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are generally retained for up to 24 months. Technical log data is typically retained for a shorter period in line with operational requirements. Account data is retained for the duration of the account and for a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Access — to request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
  • Restriction — to request that we limit processing while a dispute is resolved.
  • Objection — to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Portability — to receive data you have provided in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the channels listed on our Contact page. We will respond within one calendar month, as required by law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under UK law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. The current version will always be available on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically. Where changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users.
