This privacy policy explains how Slotimo collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit slotimo-online.de. We take your privacy seriously and handle all data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You have control over your information, and this document sets out exactly what that means in practice.
Who controls your data
slotimo-online.de is an independent information portal. We are the data controller for any personal information you provide directly to us through this site — for example, when you contact our editorial team or interact with our content. We are not affiliated with the casino operator reviewed on these pages, and we do not process account, payment or gameplay data on their behalf.
For questions about how the operator itself handles your casino account data, contact them directly. This policy covers only what happens on our portal.
What information we collect
We collect two categories of data: information you give us directly, and technical information gathered automatically as you browse.
Information you provide: When you use our contact form or email [email protected], we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any other details you choose to include. We do not ask for payment details, identity documents or account credentials — our portal has no login system and processes no financial transactions.
Technical information: Like most websites, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URL and the pages you visit on our site. This data is logged by our hosting provider and analytics tools, and helps us understand how the site is used and where improvements are needed.
Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences and to measure site traffic. For full details on what cookies we set and how to manage them, see our separate Cookie Policy.
How we use your data
We process the information above for the following purposes:
- To respond to enquiries sent via email or our contact form
- To operate and improve the website — fixing technical problems, understanding which content is most useful, and planning new pages
- To measure site performance through analytics (aggregated and anonymised)
- To comply with legal obligations, including tax and record-keeping requirements
We do not use your data for marketing, and we do not sell or rent personal information to third parties. We will never send you promotional emails unless you have explicitly asked us to, and even then only in relation to our own editorial content.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful reason to process your data. The bases we rely on are:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to contact-form enquiries | Legitimate interest (providing the service you requested) |
| Operating and improving the site | Legitimate interest (running our business and serving our audience) |
| Analytics (with consent) | Consent (via cookie banner) |
| Legal compliance | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have balanced our need to process your data against your privacy rights and determined that the processing is proportionate and expected.
Who we share data with
We do not pass your personal information to the casino operators we write about, and we do not sell your data. However, we do share limited information with the following categories of third party:
Hosting and infrastructure: Our website is hosted by a third-party provider who processes your IP address and browsing data in order to deliver the pages you request. This provider operates under a data processing agreement and is bound by the same privacy standards we follow.
Analytics services: We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. These services receive anonymised or pseudonymised data, and we configure them to respect your privacy choices wherever possible. If you decline analytics cookies, this data is not collected.
Email and support: When you contact us, your message passes through our email provider's servers. We use reputable providers with strong data protection policies.
All third-party processors are located within the UK or the European Economic Area, or have appropriate safeguards in place for international transfers. We do not permit them to use your data for their own purposes.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights over your personal information, and you can exercise them at any time by contacting us:
- Access: You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, free of charge.
- Rectification: If the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.
- Erasure: You can request that we delete your data, provided we have no legal obligation to keep it.
- Restriction: You can ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute or concern is being resolved.
- Data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract, you can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection: You can object to processing based on legitimate interest. We will stop unless we have compelling grounds to continue.
- Withdraw consent: Where processing relies on your consent (for example, analytics cookies), you can withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or our cookie banner.
To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and tell us which right you wish to exercise. We will respond within one month, and we will not charge a fee unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Complaints and your supervisory authority
If you believe we have mishandled your data or failed to respect your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's data protection regulator. The supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), and you can reach them at ico.org.uk or by calling their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
We would appreciate the opportunity to resolve any concern directly before you escalate it, so please contact us first if you can.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this policy, or to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Contact-form enquiries: We keep correspondence for up to two years after the last message in the thread, then delete it unless there is an ongoing reason to retain it (for example, an unresolved complaint).
Technical logs: Server logs and IP addresses are retained for up to 90 days, then automatically purged.
Analytics data: Aggregated, anonymised analytics are kept indefinitely for historical comparison. Data that can identify individuals is deleted or anonymised within 26 months.
Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise the data so it can no longer identify you.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Gambling content is restricted to adults. If you share a device with a minor, consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to prevent access to age-inappropriate material.
International transfers
Where we transfer your data outside the UK or EEA — for example, to a cloud service provider with servers abroad — we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place. This may include standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO, or relying on the provider's certification under an approved framework.
You can request further details about any international transfer by contacting us.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or damage. This includes encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure hosting environments, access controls and regular security reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. If you become aware of a security vulnerability, report it to [email protected] immediately.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or the services we offer. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or with a notice on the site.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
Contact us
For questions, requests or concerns about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, email our editorial team at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours during normal business hours.
