Legal Bases for Processing
Rslounge.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we send marketing communications or deploy non-essential cookies, we rely on your freely given consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time without detriment. For operational activities such as site analytics, fraud prevention, and affiliate link management, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), having balanced those interests against your rights and freedoms. Where processing is necessary to fulfil a contractual obligation or to comply with a legal requirement, we rely on Articles 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(c) respectively.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Rslounge.co.uk publishes reviews of and links to third-party casino operators. When you click an affiliate link, you will be redirected to an external operator website that has its own independent privacy policy; rslounge.co.uk is not responsible for the data practices of those operators. We may share aggregated, non-identifiable traffic data with affiliate networks to verify referrals. We also use third-party analytics providers — such as Google Analytics — that may set their own cookies and process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements. These providers are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
