Privacy policy
How ArcadeB7XVault handles personal data, consent choices and GDPR rights.
This notice explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it and which rights you can exercise if you use this site from the UK or the wider EEA.
1. Scope of this notice
This Privacy Policy applies to ArcadeB7XVault, an editorial comparison website that reviews and compares licensed UK casinos. It covers information collected when you browse our pages, contact us by email, submit a message through the site or interact with consent tools. The policy does not govern the privacy practices of any third-party casino, payment provider, analytics service or advertising platform that may be linked from our content. Once you leave ArcadeB7XVault and visit an external site, that third party's own policy will apply to the personal data it receives from you.
2. Data we may collect
The information we process depends on how you interact with the site. It can include technical data such as browser type, device characteristics, approximate geolocation inferred from IP address, pages viewed, referring URLs and timestamps. If you contact us, we may also process your name, email address and the content of your message. Where you use cookie controls, we record your consent preference so the banner does not ask the same question repeatedly. We do not ask for gambling account details, payment card numbers or identity documents through this site.
3. Why we use personal data
We use data to operate the site, keep pages working correctly, respond to enquiries, monitor whether content is performing as intended and understand which sections readers actually use. Technical information helps us detect broken pages, improve mobile performance and reduce duplicated or outdated content. Contact details are processed so we can answer requests, review correction notices and handle policy-related questions. Consent records are used to respect your choices about cookies and similar technologies. We do not sell personal data, and we do not use personal information to make automated decisions about you in a legal or similarly significant sense.
4. GDPR legal bases
When we process personal data, we rely on one or more legal bases under the UK GDPR and, where relevant, the EU GDPR. Consent is used where you actively choose cookie preferences. Legitimate interests support core site analytics, service maintenance, fraud prevention and editorial record keeping, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Contract may apply if you contact us and expect a response to a specific request. Legal obligation may apply when data must be retained or disclosed to meet regulatory, tax, law enforcement or dispute-handling requirements.
5. Cookies and related technologies
ArcadeB7XVault uses cookies and similar storage tools in a limited way. Some are necessary to remember age confirmation and cookie consent choices. Others may help us understand how readers move through the site, which pages attract the most attention and whether our navigation works as intended on smaller screens. We describe cookie categories in more detail in the separate Cookie Policy because those technologies deserve their own explanation. You can reject optional cookies, clear them through your browser settings or revisit your consent choices at any time.
6. Sharing with service providers and partners
We may share limited personal data with service providers that host the site, assist with analytics, manage security controls, process email delivery or maintain technical infrastructure. Those providers may process data on our behalf under written arrangements that require them to follow confidentiality and security duties. We may also disclose information where necessary to protect rights, investigate abuse, comply with court orders or respond to lawful requests from public authorities. We do not share personal data with casino operators simply because you visited an editorial page. If you click an affiliate link, the operator will handle its own tracking independently.
7. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we seek to ensure a lawful transfer mechanism is in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, an approved transfer addendum or another recognised safeguard. International transfers can be part of routine technical hosting or support operations, especially where cloud infrastructure spans more than one region. We assess these arrangements with the goal of maintaining a level of protection that is broadly equivalent to what data protection law requires in the UK.
8. How long information is kept
Retention periods vary according to the purpose for which information was collected. Technical logs are kept only for as long as necessary to maintain performance, investigate faults and protect the service from misuse. Contact messages may be retained longer where they relate to corrections, disputes, compliance concerns or repeated correspondence. Cookie consent preferences are stored until they expire, are replaced or are deleted by the user. We review retained information periodically and remove or anonymise data where it is no longer needed for the purpose that justified collection in the first place.
9. Your rights
You may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for inaccurate data to be corrected, request deletion in some circumstances, object to certain processing, seek restriction, withdraw consent where processing depends on it and request portability where legally applicable. These rights are not absolute. There may be situations where we need to retain information for legal, security or record-keeping reasons. If you wish to exercise a right, contact us with enough detail to help identify the relevant data and the nature of your request.
10. Age policy and children
ArcadeB7XVault is intended for adults aged 18 and over. The site does not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children, and it is not designed as a service for minors. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided personal information through the site, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information unless we are legally required to keep it. Parents or guardians who believe a child may have sent data to us can contact us so we can review the issue promptly.
11. Contact details and updates
If you have privacy questions, wish to exercise a data protection right or want clarification about this notice, contact us at dataprotection@arcadeb7xvault.com. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if our practices change, the site adds new tools or legal requirements develop. When that happens, we will publish the revised text on this page and update the effective version available through the site. Where changes are material, we may take additional steps to draw attention to them.
