This privacy policy explains how fire-scatters.uk handles personal data when you visit our independent information portal about Firescatters Casino. We are not the operator and this notice does not cover what happens once you leave our site and register on the operator's own platform – that's governed by the operator's own privacy policy, not ours. Below, "we" and "us" refers to this portal's editorial team, not the casino brand we write about.
Who runs this site and controls your data
fire-scatters.uk is an independent review and information portal. For the purposes of UK data protection law, we act as the data controller for any personal data collected through this site – contact form submissions, technical browsing data, and cookie-related identifiers. We do not share a database, a login system or any player account infrastructure with Firescatters or any other operator we write about.
What information reaches us
We collect two broad categories of data. The first is technical: your IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed, gathered automatically through standard web logging and analytics cookies. The second is anything you give us directly – if you use our contact form, that typically means a name, an email address, and whatever you write in your message.
- Technical and analytics data collected automatically on every visit
- Contact form submissions (name, email, message content)
- Cookie identifiers, covered in detail in our cookie policy
We never ask visitors for financial details, identity documents or account credentials. If a page ever appears to request that kind of information in our name, it is not genuine – see our contact page to report it.
Why we process this data
We use technical and analytics data to understand how the site performs, fix broken pages, and see which content is actually useful to readers. Contact form data exists purely to let us reply to your message. We do not build advertising profiles from these details ourselves, though third-party analytics or advertising scripts embedded on the site may set their own cookies for that purpose – our cookie policy names the categories involved.
The lawful basis for processing
Where we rely on cookies for analytics or advertising, we do so on the basis of your consent, given through the cookie banner when you first visit. Processing a contact form message rests on our legitimate interest in answering questions sent to us, and on the steps needed to respond to your request. You can withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time without affecting the underlying service.
Sharing data with third parties
We work with a small number of external service providers to keep the site running: hosting providers, analytics tools, and possibly advertising networks that fund independent portals like this one. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security obligations. We never sell personal data, and we never hand it to the operator of any casino brand featured on this site – there is no data pipeline between fire-scatters.uk and Firescatters' own systems.
| Recipient category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Hosting provider | Storing and serving the site |
| Analytics services | Understanding site usage |
| Advertising partners (where present) | Funding independent content |
Your rights under UK GDPR
As a UK-facing site, we process personal data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You have the right to access the data we hold about you, correct it if it's wrong, ask us to erase it, restrict or object to certain processing, and receive a portable copy where technically applicable. Where processing depends on consent, you can withdraw it at any point.
- Email us at [email protected] stating which right you want to exercise
- We'll confirm your identity where necessary before acting on the request
- We aim to respond within one calendar month, as UK GDPR requires
- If you're unhappy with our response, you can escalate to the ICO
The supervisory authority for data protection matters in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), reachable at ico.org.uk. You're free to lodge a complaint with them directly if you feel we haven't handled your data properly.
How long we keep information
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, then deleted or anonymised. Analytics data is typically retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form after a limited period, in line with the settings of the tools we use. We don't keep personal data indefinitely on the basis that it might be useful later.
Protecting minors
This site, and the gambling-related content it discusses, is intended strictly for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us through the contact form, email [email protected] and we'll remove it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time – to reflect a new analytics tool, a change in the law, or simply to make it clearer. The version published here is always the current one, and we'd encourage checking back occasionally if you've contacted us before.
