This privacy policy explains how Firescatters Casino collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit fire-scatters.org.uk. We take your privacy seriously and handle all data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who Controls Your Data
Fire-scatters.org.uk is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide through this portal. We determine how and why your data is processed. For questions about your data, email [email protected].
Information We Collect
The portal collects two categories of information: data you hand over directly, and data we observe automatically.
Information you provide includes anything submitted through contact forms – your name, email address, and the content of your message. We collect this only when you choose to reach out.
Information we observe automatically covers technical details your browser sends: IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, pages visited, time spent on each page, referral source, and the date and time of your visit. This data is logged through cookies and similar tracking technologies.
How We Use Your Information
We process your personal data for specific, lawful purposes. When you submit a contact form, we use your details to respond to your enquiry – that is processed under legitimate interests. Technical and usage data helps us understand how visitors navigate the portal, identify technical problems, and improve the site's layout and content. Analytics processing relies on your consent, which you grant through the cookie banner.
We do not use your information to build marketing profiles, and we never sell your data to third parties.
Legal Basis for Processing
Every piece of data we collect is processed under one of three lawful bases set out in UK GDPR. Contact-form submissions are handled under legitimate interests – responding to your question is a reasonable expectation. Analytics and advertising cookies rely on your consent, which you provide through the banner when you first visit the site. Technical cookies necessary for the portal to function are processed under legal obligation and legitimate interests, since the site cannot operate without them.
Sharing and Third Parties
Fire-scatters.org.uk shares limited data with processors who help us run the portal. Analytics providers receive anonymised usage data to generate traffic reports. Advertising networks may set cookies to deliver relevant ads, though we do not hand them personally identifiable details. Our hosting provider processes IP addresses and server logs to keep the site online and secure.
All third-party processors are bound by data protection agreements, and we do not transfer personal data outside the UK without appropriate safeguards in place.
No Sale of Data
We have never sold your personal information, and we will not. Your data is used solely for the purposes described in this policy.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
UK data protection law gives you control over your personal information. You have the right to access the data we hold about you – request a copy at any time. You can ask us to rectify inaccurate information, or erase your data when there is no compelling reason for us to keep it.
You also have the right to restrict processing in certain circumstances, to request data portability (receiving your information in a structured, machine-readable format), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time – though this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Data Subject Request" and describe which right you wish to exercise. We will respond within one month. If your request is complex or we receive several from you at once, we may extend this period by two months – we will let you know within the first month if that happens.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Contact-form submissions are kept for two years after your last message, then deleted. Technical logs and analytics data are retained for 26 months to identify long-term trends, then anonymised or removed. Cookies expire according to the durations set in our cookie policy – session cookies disappear when you close your browser, while persistent cookies last between one month and two years depending on their purpose.
We review stored data annually and delete anything no longer needed for its original purpose.
Protection of Minors
This site is intended for users aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact [email protected] immediately. We will delete the information within 72 hours of verification.
Security Measures
We protect your personal data with industry-standard security measures: encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure hosting environments, password-protected admin access, and regular software updates to patch vulnerabilities. No online system is completely secure, but we take every reasonable step to safeguard the information entrusted to us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in how we process data, new legal requirements, or improvements to our practices. The "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page will change whenever we do. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of the policy for 30 days. Check back periodically if you want to stay informed.
Contact
Questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data should be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
