Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

JanuszKasyno.co.uk (“we”, “our”, “us”) is an informational website that publishes casino-related content such as reviews, comparisons, guides, and promotional information. We do not operate gambling services, do not process deposits or withdrawals, and do not provide real-money gaming directly.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use our website, how it may be used, and the choices you have.

2. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to:

  • Visitors who browse januszkasyno.co.uk

  • Users who contact us through a form or email (if available)

  • Users who click affiliate links to third-party websites

It does not apply to third-party operators (casino brands, payment providers, app stores, social networks, etc.). Those third parties have their own privacy policies.

3. Information We May Collect

3.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, certain data may be collected automatically by the server, analytics tools, and security systems, such as:

  • IP address (often stored in shortened/anonymised form depending on tool settings)

  • Browser type, device type, operating system

  • Pages viewed, time spent, clicks, and navigation paths

  • Approximate location (city/region-level derived from IP)

  • Referring page (for example, search engine or a referring website)

  • Date/time of visits and technical logs (error logs, security logs)

This information is usually non-identifying by itself, but may be considered personal data in some jurisdictions.

3.2 Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us, you may provide:

  • Your name (if you choose)

  • Your email address

  • Message content and any details you include

Please avoid sending sensitive information through contact forms.

3.3 Affiliate Tracking Data

We may use affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, a third party may place a tracking cookie or use similar technology to attribute a referral to our website. This may record:

  • The fact you clicked a link from our site

  • A unique tracking identifier

  • Timestamp and campaign information

We do not control how third-party partners process your data after you leave our site.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use:

  • Essential cookies (site functionality, security)

  • Analytics cookies (to understand how visitors use the site)

  • Affiliate cookies (to measure referrals and commissions)

  • Preference cookies (remembering settings, where implemented)

You can control cookies via your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner/preferences tool. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

5. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve januszkasyno.co.uk

  • Analyse website performance and user experience

  • Measure content effectiveness (e.g., which pages are helpful)

  • Protect against fraud, abuse, and security incidents

  • Respond to messages and support requests

  • Maintain compliance with applicable laws and enforce our terms

6. Legal Bases (UK GDPR)

Where UK GDPR applies, we rely on these legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests: website analytics, security, performance measurement, affiliate performance monitoring

  • Consent: for non-essential cookies where a consent mechanism is in place

  • Contract/steps to contract: if you request information or services via contact

  • Legal obligation: when we must comply with law enforcement or regulatory requirements

7. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share data with:

  • Analytics providers (e.g., traffic measurement tools)

  • Hosting, CDN, and security providers (e.g., DDoS protection, firewall)

  • Affiliate networks and partner operators (for referral attribution)

  • Professional advisers (legal/accounting) when necessary

  • Authorities, regulators, or law enforcement if required by law

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of “selling”.

8. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where applicable, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections and vendor compliance measures to help protect data during transfer.

9. Data Retention

We keep data only as long as necessary for:

  • The purposes described in this policy

  • Security and fraud prevention

  • Legal, tax, or compliance requirements

Typical retention periods depend on the tool (analytics, logs, email records). Where possible, we minimise retention and store aggregated or anonymised data.

10. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

Depending on your location, you may have rights including:

  • Access to your personal data

  • Correction of inaccurate data

  • Deletion (right to be forgotten) in certain cases

  • Restriction or objection to processing

  • Data portability (where applicable)

  • Withdraw consent (for consent-based processing)

  • Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO)

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page. We may need to verify your request.

11. Children

Our content is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us so we can remove it.

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the website and reduce the risk of unauthorised access. However, no website can guarantee absolute security.

13. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (including casino operators). Once you leave our site, their privacy practices apply. We encourage you to review third-party privacy policies.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date (if displayed) indicates the most recent changes. Continued use of the website means you accept the updated policy.
