Who we are
DW Info is a self-funded editorial site published from the United Kingdom, covering the regulation of non gamstop casinos for a UK adult reader audience. This privacy policy sets out how we handle any personal data collected through the site. We are the data controller for the small amount of personal data this site processes.
What we collect
The site does not run user accounts, does not offer comments, and does not carry a login. The personal data we process is limited to server logs (IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp), any email correspondence you initiate, and any cookie identifiers described in our cookies notice. We do not run advertising trackers or third-party analytics beyond a minimal server-side pageview count.
Why we process it
Server logs are processed under the legitimate-interest lawful basis to keep the site secure and stable. Email correspondence is processed under the legitimate-interest lawful basis to answer your enquiry, and is retained for a reasonable audit period. Cookie data is processed under the strictly-necessary basis for functional cookies, and only after consent for any non-essential cookie, as required by UK PECR and UK GDPR.
How long we keep it
Server logs are kept for 90 days by default. Email correspondence is kept for up to two years unless you request earlier deletion. Cookie identifiers expire on the schedule set out in our cookies notice.
Log data specifics
Our server logs record the standard fields required to diagnose site errors, block abusive traffic and produce aggregate pageview counts. The typical entry contains a truncated IP address, a timestamp, the URL requested, the HTTP response code, the user-agent string, and any referring URL. We do not link log entries to email correspondents. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from log entries. Logs are stored on the same infrastructure as the site itself and are not exported to third-party analytics platforms.
Who we share it with
We share personal data with our hosting provider, our email provider and — where legally required — with UK enforcement authorities on lawful request. We do not sell personal data. We do not share it with operator affiliates. We do not share it with advertising networks.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to be informed, the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, the right to object, and rights relating to automated decision-making. To exercise any right, please write to the editorial address on the contact page. We respond to rights requests within one calendar month.
International transfers
Where data is transferred outside the UK — for example, if our email provider processes messages on servers based inside the European Economic Area — we rely on the UK's adequacy decisions or on standard contractual clauses. We do not transfer personal data to jurisdictions without a suitable transfer mechanism.
Children
This site is intended for adults. Its subject matter is gambling regulation, which in the UK is not lawfully available to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have received personal data from a person under that age, we delete it promptly.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS with a valid certificate. Server-side we apply reasonable and proportionate security measures for a small editorial site: access controls on administrative interfaces, keeping software up to date, and separating personally identifiable email correspondence from public-side systems. No system is perfectly secure and we do not claim otherwise. If we ever identify a personal-data breach that meets the UK GDPR notification threshold, we will report to the ICO within 72 hours as required.
Complaints
If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal data, please write to us first so we can try to resolve it. If you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy from time to time. The most recent update date appears at the top of the page. Substantive updates are announced on the homepage for a reasonable window after publication so that regular readers can review the change.
