Best Review Site-uk | Privacy Policy

Data Collection Principles

Best Review Site-uk collects minimal personal data in compliance with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Unlike gambling operators we review, we don't process financial transactions or require account registration. We may collect your IP address, browser type, and pages visited for analytics purposes. When you contact us via support@bestreviewsite-uk.com, we store correspondence for customer service purposes. We don't sell your data to third parties. Our data collection is limited to what's necessary for providing gambling platform comparison services. UK residents have the right to request access to their data under Subject Access Requests (SARs).

Information Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data, including encryption and access controls. While we review UKGC-licensed gambling platforms (licence no. 000-039494-R-319411-014), we don't handle sensitive gambling data ourselves. Our security practices are regularly reviewed to meet UK standards. Unlike actual gambling sites, we don't store payment details or government-issued IDs. All staff receive data protection training compliant with ICO guidelines. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting UK residents, we'll notify the ICO within 72 hours as required by law.

Cookies & Tracking

Our cookie usage complies with UK PECR regulations. We use essential cookies for site functionality and optional analytics cookies with your consent. Unlike gambling platforms, we don't use tracking cookies for behavioral advertising. When you click affiliate links to operators like Bet365 or William Hill, they may set their own cookies. You can manage preferences via our Cookie Settings. The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) provides guidance on cookie controls. We don't use fingerprinting or other covert tracking methods. Our cookie policy clearly explains each cookie's purpose and duration.

Third-Party Disclosures

We may share anonymized data with Google Analytics to understand site usage patterns. Unlike gambling operators, we don't share personal data with payment processors. When required by UK law, we may disclose information to authorities like the Gambling Commission. Our affiliate partners receive aggregated click data but not personally identifiable information. We use secure EU-based hosting providers that comply with UK data protection standards. Third-party services processing UK resident data must meet GDPR adequacy requirements. We conduct due diligence on all data processors and maintain records of processing activities as required by UK regulations.

Affiliate Marketing

When you visit gambling platforms through our affiliate links, they may track referrals for commission purposes. This doesn't involve sharing personal data beyond standard web analytics. UK advertising standards (CAP Code) require us to disclose this practice. We don't receive information about your gambling activity or account details from operators. Commission payments don't influence our reviews of UKGC-licensed platforms. You can avoid affiliate tracking by navigating directly to operator sites. Our affiliate relationships help fund the free service we provide while maintaining editorial independence in our reviews.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection laws, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing. Unlike gambling accounts, we don't require identity verification for most requests. You can object to direct marketing or withdraw consent at any time. UK residents can complain to the ICO if unsatisfied with our handling of personal data. We respond to all valid requests within one month as required by UK GDPR. These rights don't apply to anonymized data we use for analytics. You can exercise your rights by contacting support@bestreviewsite-uk.com with "Data Request" in the subject line.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes collected. Analytics data is typically kept for 26 months. Unlike gambling operators, we don't maintain permanent account records. Correspondence via email is retained for three years for customer service reference. UK tax laws require us to keep financial records for seven years. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Backup systems may retain information temporarily before automated deletion. Our retention schedule is reviewed annually to ensure compliance with UK legal requirements and ICO guidance.

International Transfers

As a UK-based service, we primarily process data within the UK. Some service providers may process data in the EU or other jurisdictions with adequate protection. Unlike multinational gambling operators, we limit international data transfers. Where transfers occur, we use EU Standard Contractual Clauses or UK adequacy regulations. US-based services like Google Analytics may process anonymized data. We don't transfer personal data to countries without adequate UK-approved safeguards. Our privacy impact assessments evaluate all international data flows to ensure continued compliance with UK data protection standards post-Brexit.

Policy Updates

We may update this policy to reflect changes in UK law or our services. Significant changes will be notified via our website for 30 days. Unlike gambling terms and conditions, privacy policy updates don't require your active acceptance. The "Last Updated" date below indicates when changes were implemented. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, especially after major UK data protection developments. Archived versions are available upon request. Continued use of our site constitutes acceptance of the current policy. For material changes affecting UK residents' rights, we may seek renewed consent where required by the ICO.
