What this notice covers
This notice explains how fish-and-spins.org.uk handles personal data when you read our independent coverage of Fishandspins and the rest of this portal. It does not describe how the operator itself processes data once you leave here and register on its own platform – that is governed by the operator's own privacy terms, published on its own site, not ours. We only account for what happens on this domain.
We are a small editorial team, not a casino, and we hold nowhere near the volume of data an operator collects at registration or KYC. What follows is a plain account of what we do gather, why, and how you can ask us to change or remove it.
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller for this site is the team running fish-and-spins.org.uk. For anything data-related, write to [email protected] rather than to any address published by Fishandspins itself – the two are separate organisations with separate obligations.
What we collect
- Standard technical data: IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed and referring links.
- Cookie data, covered in more detail in our separate cookie policy.
- Anything you type into a contact form – typically your email address and the content of your message.
- Nothing from the operator's own systems: we never receive account balances, deposit history or identity documents from Fishandspins.
Why we process it
Technical and cookie data help us understand which pages are useful and keep the site running reliably. Contact-form data exists purely so we can reply to you. We do not build advertising profiles from casino account activity, because we never see any.
Lawful basis for processing
Where you contact us directly, our basis is legitimate interest in answering genuine enquiries. Where cookies require consent – analytics and marketing categories – we rely on the consent you give (or withhold) through the cookie banner described in our cookie policy.
Sharing your information
We may share limited technical data with hosting providers and analytics tools that keep the site functioning; we do not sell personal data to third parties, and we do not pass contact-form submissions to Fishandspins or any other operator. Any third-party processor we use is bound to handle data only for the purpose we specify.
Your rights under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you can ask us to: give you access to what we hold, correct inaccurate details, erase your data, restrict or object to processing, or receive your data in a portable format. Where processing depends on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
- Email [email protected] describing which right you want to exercise.
- We confirm receipt and may ask a short question to verify it's genuinely you.
- We respond within one month, as UK GDPR requires.
If you're unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, the supervisory authority for data protection in the UK.
Protection of minors
This site, and any gambling-related content it covers, is intended strictly for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and any household with a shared device should consider parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to keep gambling content away from minors.
Changes to this notice
We may update this policy as the site or the tools behind it change. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date, so it's worth checking back occasionally rather than assuming nothing has moved.
This policy was last reviewed in 2026. For any question about how we handle your data, contact [email protected].
This content is provided for information and marketing purposes. We are not a gambling operator, bookmaker or organiser of betting or gaming activity. This site is restricted to visitors aged 18 and over (18+). Free, confidential support with gambling is available at BeGambleAware.org.
