This Privacy Policy applies to ReelBonusDepot, an independent editorial comparison website available at reelbonusdepot.co.uk. It explains how we handle information when you visit the site, use the site on a mobile device, click outbound links, contact us, or interact with privacy controls such as the cookie banner. ReelBonusDepot is not a gambling operator. We do not open player accounts, accept deposits, or handle payment details for casinos. Our role is limited to editorial publishing, website administration, and communication connected with this website.

Who controls your data

For the purpose of applicable data protection law, including the UK GDPR and related UK data protection legislation, ReelBonusDepot acts as the data controller for personal data collected through this website. If you have a question about this policy or wish to exercise your rights, you can contact us at info@reelbonusdepot.co.uk. We will respond within a reasonable time and, where the law requires, within the relevant statutory period.

What data we collect

We collect limited categories of information. First, we may collect technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP information, pages viewed, referral source, date and time of access, and interaction events such as button clicks or page scroll depth. Second, we may collect communications data if you email us, including your name, email address, the contents of your message, and any attachments or details you choose to provide. Third, we may collect consent data, which records whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies through the site banner. Fourth, we may collect age-gate status stored locally in your browser so the site can remember that you confirmed you are 18 or over.

How we collect data

Some information is collected automatically when your browser requests pages from our server. Some is collected through cookies or local storage on your device. Some is provided directly by you when you contact us. We do not intentionally collect special category data, and we do not ask you to submit financial information, identification documents, or payment information through this website. If you voluntarily include sensitive information in an email, we will process it only to the extent necessary to respond and manage the communication responsibly.

Why we process personal data

We process data for several practical reasons. We use technical and analytics information to keep the website working, understand which pages are useful, identify broken links, improve readability, and protect the site from abuse. We use communication data to answer enquiries, handle correction requests, and maintain a record of legitimate correspondence. We use consent data to respect your cookie choices. We use locally stored age confirmation data to prevent the age gate from reappearing every time you visit after confirming you are 18 or over.

Lawful bases under GDPR

Our lawful bases depend on the context. We rely on legitimate interests where processing is necessary to run, secure, and improve the website in a proportionate way that does not override your rights. We rely on consent for non-essential measurement technologies where consent is required. We rely on taking steps at your request or communicating with you when you contact us directly. We may also rely on compliance with legal obligations when we need to keep records, investigate misuse, or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Cookies and local storage

ReelBonusDepot uses a mix of essential browser storage and optional measurement tools. Essential storage includes remembering your age confirmation choice and your cookie preference. Without these items the website would repeatedly show the same overlays and would not be able to honour your privacy selection consistently. Optional measurement technologies help us understand traffic patterns, which pages perform well, and where readers leave the site. More detail is available in our Cookies Policy, but this Privacy Policy explains that browser-side storage can contain identifiers or preference values linked to your visit.

Affiliate links and outbound clicks

Some links on the website point to third-party casino operators and may be affiliate links. When you click an outbound link, the destination website may receive information such as the referring page or technical details transmitted by your browser in the normal course of web browsing. Once you leave ReelBonusDepot, the third party becomes responsible for its own data handling practices. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of any operator you visit because those sites may collect more extensive information than we do.

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as there is a legitimate need. Technical logs and analytics records are retained for a limited period appropriate to security, troubleshooting, and website performance review. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to answer the enquiry, maintain a record of the communication, and handle follow-up questions or compliance issues. If retention is no longer justified, we delete or anonymise the data where reasonably possible.

Sharing data

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers who help us host the website, protect it from abuse, manage analytics, or deliver email. Those providers may process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to investigate misuse, or to respond to valid legal process. We do not share your information with casino operators merely because you browse our site; however, a third-party operator may receive standard referral information if you click through to its website.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or comparable lawful transfer mechanisms. International transfers are reviewed with the same practical goal that applies across this site: data should be handled in a way that remains proportionate to the limited editorial nature of the service.

Your rights

Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have the right to request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, object to certain processing, request restriction, request portability, or withdraw consent where consent was the basis for processing. You may also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your rights have been infringed. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, especially where the request concerns data that should not be disclosed to anyone else.

Children

This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, contact us and we will review the matter promptly and take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, and disclosure. No online environment can promise absolute security, but we aim to collect less, store less, and retain less wherever practical because limiting data itself is one of the strongest forms of protection.

Policy changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or editorial changes. When we make material changes, we will update the page accordingly. Your continued use of the website after an update means you have had an opportunity to review the revised policy.
