Privacy Policy

Last updated: please refer to the footer of this page for the current version date.

Who This Policy Applies To

This Privacy Policy describes how the operator of vlad-casino.co.uk ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data in connection with your use of this website. It applies to all visitors and registered users of vlad-casino.co.uk. The entity responsible for determining how your data is processed — the data controller — is identified in the site footer and in the Terms and Conditions.

This policy does not cover the data practices of third-party casino operators linked from this site. Those operators are independent controllers subject to their own privacy documentation.

Categories of Data We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect data in the following categories:

  • Identification data — name and email address submitted voluntarily via contact forms or account registration
  • Technical and usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, session duration, and referral source, collected automatically via server logs and analytics tools
  • Cookie data — preferences and identifiers stored locally on your device (see the Cookies section below)
  • Communications data — the content of messages you send us via the contact form or email

We do not collect financial payment data directly. Any transactional data associated with third-party operators is processed by those operators under their own policies.

Purposes of Processing

Personal data collected through this site is processed for the following purposes:

  • Provision of the service — enabling site functionality, responding to enquiries, and managing user accounts where applicable
  • Security and fraud prevention — monitoring for suspicious activity, protecting the integrity of the platform
  • Analytics and site improvement — understanding how visitors use the site in order to improve content and user experience
  • Legal compliance — meeting obligations under applicable data protection, tax, and regulatory law

We do not use personal data collected through this site for unsolicited direct marketing without a lawful basis to do so.

Legal Bases for Processing

We rely on the following legal bases under applicable data protection law (including the UK GDPR):

  • Contract performance — where processing is necessary to fulfil a request you have made
  • Legitimate interests — for site analytics, security, and improving our services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights
  • Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with law
  • Consent — where you have given clear, specific consent, for example for non-essential cookies

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are used for purposes including:

  • Maintaining session continuity
  • Remembering user preferences
  • Collecting anonymised or aggregated analytics data (for example via Google Analytics or a comparable service)
  • Supporting affiliate tracking in connection with links to third-party operators

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or via any consent management tool presented when you first visit the site. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the site.

Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with third-party processors in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers acting on our behalf (for example hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email delivery services), bound by data processing agreements that restrict use to the purposes for which data was shared
  • Legal or regulatory authorities where disclosure is required by law, court order, or other binding demand
  • Affiliate networks — limited technical data such as click identifiers may be passed to affiliate partners where you follow a link from our site to a third-party operator

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are generally retained for a period sufficient to address the enquiry and any follow-up, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Technical log data is typically retained for a shorter operational period. If you would like information about the specific retention period applicable to your data, please contact us through the channels described on the Contact page.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR and applicable data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:

  • Right of access — to request a copy of the data we hold
  • Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — to request deletion of data in certain circumstances
  • Right to restrict processing — to request a limitation on how we use your data
  • Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to data portability — to receive data in a structured, machine-readable format where applicable
  • Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request via the contact channels listed on the Contact page. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally one calendar month).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.

International Data Transfers

Where data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area — for example to service providers operating in other jurisdictions — we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. For significant changes, we may provide notice via the site.
