Privacy Notice

Data Collection Practices

UK-best Review Site limits the collection of personal information in full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Unlike gambling platforms that we evaluate, we do not process payments or require users to create accounts. The data we may gather includes your IP address, browser type, and pages accessed, purely for analytical purposes. If you contact us at support@uk-bestreviewsite.com, we retain the communication to provide customer support. We do not sell your personal details to any third parties. Our data collection is solely for the purpose of offering gambling platform comparison services. UK residents can request access to their data through Subject Access Requests (SARs).

Data Protection and Security

We implement robust technical measures to safeguard your data, including encryption and strict access controls. While we review UKGC-licensed gambling sites (license no. 000-039494-R-319411-014), we do not directly handle sensitive gambling-related data. Our security practices are regularly evaluated to ensure they meet UK standards. Unlike gambling operators, we do not store payment card details or government-issued identification. Our staff is thoroughly trained on data protection in line with ICO guidelines. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting UK residents, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours, as stipulated by the law.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We adhere to UK PECR regulations regarding the use of cookies. Essential cookies are deployed to ensure the basic functionality of the website, while analytics cookies are utilized only with your consent. Unlike gambling platforms, we do not use cookies for behavioral advertising. If you click on affiliate links to platforms such as Bet365 or William Hill, these sites may set their own cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in our Cookie Settings. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK offers guidance on cookie management. We do not engage in fingerprinting or other covert tracking technologies. Our cookie policy provides clear details about the purpose and lifespan of each cookie we use.

Sharing Data with Third Parties

We may share anonymized data with Google Analytics to better understand website usage patterns. Unlike gambling providers, we do not share personal data with payment processors. When required by UK law, we may disclose information to regulatory bodies such as the Gambling Commission. Our affiliate partners may receive aggregated data about clicks, but no personally identifiable information. We use secure EU-based hosting providers that comply with UK data protection regulations. Any third-party services processing data of UK residents must comply with GDPR adequacy rules. We conduct rigorous checks on all data processors and maintain records of our processing activities as required by UK law.

Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

When you access gambling platforms through our affiliate links, these sites may track referrals for commission purposes. However, this does not involve sharing any personal information beyond basic web analytics. In compliance with UK advertising standards (CAP Code), we disclose this affiliate practice. We do not receive details about your gambling behavior or account from operators. The commissions we earn do not affect the impartiality of our reviews of UKGC-licensed gambling platforms. You can avoid affiliate tracking by going directly to operator websites. These affiliate arrangements help support the free service we offer while preserving editorial independence in our reviews.

Your Rights Regarding Data

As per UK data protection laws, you have various rights, including the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data. Unlike gambling websites, we do not require identity verification for most requests. You can withdraw consent for direct marketing or object to it at any time. UK residents can lodge complaints with the ICO if they are dissatisfied with how we handle personal data. We will respond to all valid requests within one month, as required by UK GDPR. These rights do not apply to anonymized data used for analytical purposes. To exercise your rights, please contact us at support@uk-bestreviewsite.com with "Data Request" in the subject line.

Data Retention Policy

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes it was collected for. Analytics data is usually retained for up to 26 months. Unlike gambling operators, we do not maintain permanent account records. Email communications are kept for three years for reference purposes. In accordance with UK tax regulations, financial records are retained for a period of seven years. Once data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. Our backup systems may temporarily store data before automated deletion. We review our retention policy annually to ensure compliance with UK legal requirements and ICO guidelines.

International Data Transfers

As a UK-based service, we primarily process data within the UK. However, some service providers may process data in the EU or other countries that have appropriate data protection measures in place. Unlike multinational gambling operators, we limit the scope of international data transfers. When data is transferred internationally, we rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses or UK adequacy regulations. US-based services, such as Google Analytics, may process anonymized data. We do not transfer personal data to countries that do not offer UK-approved safeguards. Our privacy impact assessments ensure compliance with UK data protection standards, even after Brexit.

Privacy Policy Updates

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in UK legislation or updates to our services. Significant updates will be posted on our website for 30 days. Unlike the terms and conditions of gambling sites, updates to this privacy policy do not require your explicit approval. The "Last Updated" date below indicates when the most recent changes were made. We recommend reviewing this policy regularly, especially after major updates to UK data protection laws. Previous versions can be provided upon request. Continued use of our website signifies your acceptance of the updated policy. For significant changes affecting UK residents’ rights, we may request renewed consent as required by the ICO.
