1. Who We Are
CasinoTopGame7 is an independent editorial comparison platform that reviews and ranks licensed UK casinos. We do not offer gambling services, accept deposits, create player wallets or process bets. When this policy refers to “we”, “our” or “us”, it means the operators of CasinoTopGame7 and the editorial site available at casinotopgame7.com.
For the purpose of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we act as the controller for personal data collected through this website where we decide the means and purpose of processing.
2. The Information We Collect
The amount of information we collect is limited because the site is primarily informational. We may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referral source, approximate location at country or city level, and interaction timing. If you contact us, we may also receive your name, email address and the contents of your message.
We may store consent signals linked to cookies, such as whether you accepted our cookie banner or confirmed that you are 18 or over. These signals are stored locally on your device through browser storage and may also be reflected in aggregated analytics records.
3. Why We Use Personal Data
We use data to keep the site functioning, understand which pages readers find useful, maintain security, respond to messages, improve our editorial layout and record compliance choices. Because CasinoTopGame7 includes affiliate links, we may also measure broad referral activity to understand whether readers move from our reviews to partner casino sites. This does not mean that we operate those sites or receive detailed gambling activity from them.
Our objective is to support editorial publishing, site administration and responsible commercial reporting. We do not build intrusive behavioural profiles for unrelated advertising.
4. Legal Basis Under UK GDPR
We rely on several legal bases under the UK GDPR depending on the activity. For essential website operation, fraud prevention and basic service management, our basis is legitimate interests. When we place non-essential cookies or comparable tracking tools, our basis is consent. When you email us and request a response, we may process your message because it is necessary to take steps at your request or because we have a legitimate interest in handling reader enquiries properly.
Where a legal obligation applies, such as responding to lawful requests or maintaining records relevant to compliance, we may process data to satisfy that obligation.
5. Cookies and Similar Tools
We use cookies and local storage entries to remember your consent choices, age confirmation and certain basic preferences. Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are visited most often and whether mobile layouts are performing properly. Our separate Cookies Policy explains this in more detail.
You can manage browser cookies through your browser settings. Removing cookies may reset your consent and age confirmation preferences.
6. Sharing Data With Third Parties
We may share personal data with service providers that support hosting, analytics, security monitoring, performance measurement, email administration or site maintenance. Those providers are expected to process data only on our instructions where they operate as processors. Some third parties, such as analytics or advertising partners, may act as separate controllers for the data they collect through their own tools.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or a request from a competent authority. We do not sell personal data in the ordinary sense of transferring identifiable reader information for a price.
7. International Transfers
Some suppliers supporting CasinoTopGame7 may store or access information outside the United Kingdom. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps designed to ensure an appropriate level of protection. Depending on the destination and provider, those steps may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other recognised safeguards.
No transfer method removes all risk entirely, but we aim to work only with providers that offer contractual and operational protections consistent with UK data protection standards.
8. Retention Periods
We keep data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected. Server logs and technical records are generally retained for a limited operational period unless they are needed for security investigation. Contact emails may be kept for longer where they relate to an ongoing issue, legal matter or repeat correspondence. Cookie choices remain stored until they expire, are deleted or are replaced by updated preferences.
Retention decisions take account of necessity, legal obligations, dispute risk, data sensitivity and practical site administration.
9. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccurate information, request erasure in certain circumstances, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests and request data portability where applicable. If we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time for future processing.
These rights are not absolute, and some may depend on the legal basis involved. We may need to verify identity before taking action on a request.
10. Complaints and the ICO
If you have a concern about how we handle personal data, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can review the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, commonly known as the ICO, which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.
Information about the ICO and complaint procedures is available through official ICO channels.
11. Age Policy
CasinoTopGame7 is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children. If we learn that information has been provided by a person under 18 in a way that should not have occurred, we will take reasonable steps to remove it where practical.
Our content concerns gambling and therefore is not designed for minors or school-age audiences.
12. Security Measures
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure. Those measures may include access controls, provider selection, software maintenance and monitoring tools. No public website can promise absolute security, and readers should recognise that email and internet transmission always carry some risk.
If a security issue occurs that affects personal data and triggers legal obligations, we will assess notification duties in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
13. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy when the website changes, when our service providers change, when the law develops or when our compliance position needs to be explained more clearly. The latest version will always be published on this page. Material changes may also be reflected through updated notices elsewhere on the site.
14. Contact Details
