Self Gaming Privacy Policy 2026

We collect only what we need to run the guide. Data you give us: your name and email address if you contact us or join a mailing list, plus the content of any message you send. Data collected automatically: your IP address, device and browser type, approximate location (country or region), pages viewed, referring page and time spent on site. We do not ask for payment card details, and we do not run casino accounts. Anything you do on an operator's website is governed by that operator's own privacy notice, not this one.

We use your data to reply to your messages, send updates you have asked for, keep the site secure, fix technical faults and understand which guides readers find useful. Our legal bases are your consent (for marketing emails and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interest in running and improving an editorial site, and compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data. We do not use it to make automated decisions that significantly affect you. You can withdraw consent at any time.

We use essential cookies to make the site work and, with your consent, analytics and affiliate cookies. You can accept, reject or adjust non-essential cookies through the cookie banner, and change your choice later. Browser settings also let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the site. Our full cookie list, purposes and expiry periods sit on the dedicated cookie page.

We share limited data with trusted providers who help us operate. These include analytics tools that measure traffic, hosting and security services, and email delivery services. When you click a link to a casino operator, affiliate tracking may record that the visit came from us so the operator can attribute it. This usually involves a click identifier, not your name or contact details. Providers act under contract and may only use data for the service they supply. Some may process data outside the UK; where they do, we rely on approved safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.

Under UK GDPR you can ask to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, receive a portable copy, and withdraw consent. We respond within one month. We keep contact messages for up to 24 months, analytics data for up to 26 months, and mailing list details until you unsubscribe. After that we delete or anonymise it. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK data protection regulator.

To exercise a right or ask a privacy question, use the contact form linked in the site footer and mark your message "Privacy request". We may ask you to confirm your identity before acting on it. Please keep your request specific so we can respond quickly. We review this policy at least once a year and post the revised version here with an updated review date. If you gamble, do it responsibly: set limits, never chase losses, and use support services if play stops being fun.
