Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
This privacy policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit Cashier Compass, an independent information website about payment methods at online casinos in the United Kingdom. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and process it in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). If you access the website from the European Economic Area, the EU General Data Protection Regulation may also apply.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The controller responsible for processing personal data on this website is the operator of this website. You can reach the operator via the contact form on the website; further contact details are provided in the operator’s legal notice. Please use these contact options if you have any questions about this policy or wish to exercise your rights.
2. Data we process and why
2.1 Visiting the website (server log files)
Whenever you open a page, the server hosting this website automatically records technical information transmitted by your browser. This typically includes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring website, the browser type and version, the operating system and the amount of data transferred.
We use this data to deliver the website, to keep it stable and secure and to detect and prevent misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Log files are kept for a short period only and are deleted or anonymised once they are no longer needed for these purposes, unless a specific security incident requires them to be kept for longer.
2.2 Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest and the exemption for essential storage under PECR. All other cookies, for example for analytics, functional preferences or marketing, are only used with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR). Full details, including typical cookie categories and durations, can be found in our Cookie Policy.
2.3 Website analytics
If you consent, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website, which guides are read most and where content can be improved. The data is processed in pseudonymised form and, where the tool allows it, IP addresses are shortened before storage. We do not use analytics data to identify individual visitors. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
2.4 Contact form
If you contact us via the contact form, we process the information you provide, usually your email address, your message and, if you choose to give it, your name, in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to messages we receive (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). We delete this data once your enquiry has been dealt with, unless a legal obligation requires us to keep it.
2.5 Partner links
Some links on Cashier Compass lead to third-party websites, including those of licensed gambling operators. When you follow such a link, a referral identifier may be passed to the operator or to an affiliate network so that the visit can be attributed to our website. Where this involves storing information on your device for marketing purposes, it only happens with your consent. We do not receive any account, identity or payment details that you provide to a third-party website. Once you leave our website, the privacy policy of the respective third party applies.
3. Recipients and service providers
We only share personal data where this is necessary to operate the website. Typical recipients are providers of hosting, content delivery, consent management, analytics and email services. These providers act as processors on our behalf and are bound by data processing agreements in line with Article 28 UK GDPR. We do not sell personal data.
4. International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. In such cases, we make sure that an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as UK adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
5. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described above. Records of your cookie consent are kept for as long as necessary to demonstrate the choices you have made. Analytics data is stored in aggregated or pseudonymised form and deleted in line with the retention settings of the tool used. Data is erased earlier if you successfully request deletion and no legal obligation requires us to keep it.
6. Your rights
Under data protection law, you have the following rights:
- Right of access – to obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of it.
- Right to rectification – to have inaccurate data corrected or incomplete data completed.
- Right to erasure – to have your data deleted where there is no longer a valid reason for us to keep it.
- Right to restriction – to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability – to receive data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Right to object – to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent – at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects for you.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data breaches data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk. We would welcome the chance to address your concerns first, so please feel free to contact us before approaching the ICO.
7. Data security
This website uses TLS encryption, which you can recognise by "https" in your browser’s address bar. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.
8. Children
Cashier Compass covers gambling-related topics and is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy when the website, the services we use or the legal requirements change. The current version is always available on this page.
