Non GamStop Guide UK

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Non GamStop Guide UK (smokinblues.co.uk) handles when you read our pages, why it is handled, and what control you have over it. We process personal data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device, referring page and time spent on pages, gathered through server logs and analytics tools.
  • Cookie data: small files that remember your consent choice and help us see which guides are read most.
  • Information you send us: your name, email address and message content if you use the contact form.

We do not ask for payment details, identity documents or gambling account information. We do not run a casino and never see what you do on an operator's site.

Outbound and affiliate links

Some links to casinos outside the GamStop scheme are tracked so the operator can tell a visitor came from this site. Once you click through, that operator's own privacy policy and terms apply. Offshore sites may follow different data rules from UK-licensed ones, so read their policies before registering.

Why we use it

Our lawful bases are legitimate interest (keeping the site secure and understanding which content helps readers), consent (non-essential cookies) and responding to requests you start yourself.

Retention and sharing

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to reply and deal with any follow-up. Analytics data is held in aggregated form. We do not sell personal data; it is shared only with hosting and analytics providers acting on our instructions, or where the law requires it.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to processing, or withdraw cookie consent at any time through your browser or our cookie banner. Use the contact page to make a request. If you are unhappy with our response, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

We revise this policy when our tools or legal duties change. The current version is always the one published on this page.
