Your data and our editorial duty.
This privacy policy explains how Casino Kinetix collects, uses, stores and protects personal data on this UK-facing editorial comparison website. It is written with GDPR principles in mind and should be read with our cookies policy and terms.
Privacy policy
Casino Kinetix is an editorial comparison site. We are not a gambling operator and we do not open gaming accounts, hold player balances, process deposits or make decisions about gambling eligibility. That distinction matters because the data we handle is limited to information needed to run a publishing website, communicate with visitors and manage commercial reporting linked to affiliate referrals.
When you visit this site, some technical data may be collected automatically. This can include your IP address, browser type, device information, page request details, referral information, language settings and interaction data such as the pages viewed and the timing of those views. We use that information to deliver the website, diagnose faults, improve page performance, protect the site from misuse and understand which content is being used. We try to keep this information at the least intrusive level that still allows the site to function safely and reliably.
If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data contained in your message. That may include your name, email address, the content of the request and any supporting details you choose to send. We use that information to answer you, manage corrections, respond to legal or privacy enquiries and keep records of how a matter was handled. Please do not send identity documents, payment details or operator account passwords to Casino Kinetix. If your issue concerns a casino account, you should contact the operator directly.
Our main lawful bases under the UK GDPR and related data protection law are legitimate interests, consent and compliance with legal obligations. We rely on legitimate interests to run the website, secure the service, review traffic patterns, maintain our records and respond to ordinary business enquiries. We rely on consent where a specific storage choice or optional analytics tool requires it. We rely on legal obligations where we need to retain records for compliance, respond to lawful requests or deal with rights exercised under data protection law.
Casino Kinetix may use service providers for hosting, technical maintenance, analytics, email handling or affiliate reporting. Those providers act under instructions and are expected to protect personal data appropriately. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we expect suitable safeguards to be in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or an equivalent lawful transfer mechanism. The exact providers may change over time as the site develops, though the core purpose remains the same: running an editorial comparison publication.
We retain personal data only for as long as there is a legitimate need. Technical logs may be kept for short operational periods. Email correspondence may be kept for longer if needed to resolve a complaint, keep an editorial record, establish a defence to a legal claim or document how a privacy request was handled. Consent records, such as the storage of cookie preference choices, may be kept while they remain relevant to the function of the site. When data is no longer required, it should be deleted, anonymised or securely isolated according to the circumstances.
The site contains affiliate links to third-party casino websites. If you click one of those links, tracking parameters may be passed so that a referral can be recognised. Once you leave Casino Kinetix and land on an operator or partner site, that third party becomes responsible for its own privacy practices. We do not control how that operator processes your registration data, payment data, verification records or gambling activity. You should read the operator’s privacy notice before providing personal information or opening an account.
Under data protection law, you may have rights that include the right to request access to personal data, the right to request rectification, the right to request erasure in some circumstances, the right to restrict processing, the right to object to certain processing, and the right to data portability where applicable. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, although withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.
To exercise a privacy right or raise a data question, you can contact us at privacy@casinokinetix.com or dataprotection@casinokinetix.com. We may need enough information to verify that the request is genuine and to understand which data is in scope. Verification should be proportionate. We will not ask for unnecessary documents where the request can be handled in a lower-impact way.
We take security seriously, though no website can promise absolute immunity from risk. Measures may include access controls, system updates, limited administrative permissions, logging, secure hosting arrangements and review of suspicious activity. If we become aware of a personal data incident that meets the legal threshold for notification, we will assess our duties under applicable law and act accordingly.
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in law, changes in the site’s structure or changes in the way we use service providers. The current version published here applies from the date it appears on the website. If a change materially affects how personal data is handled, we will aim to describe it clearly in the updated wording rather than hiding it behind vague language.
