PRIVACY_FRAMEWORK.dat

This Privacy Policy explains how Slotforgeuk20 collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data. The site is an editorial comparison platform focused on licensed UK casinos. We are not a gambling operator, we do not open player accounts for casino play, and we do not process deposits or withdrawals on behalf of any operator. Even so, running a website can involve limited personal data, especially when a visitor contacts us, when technical logs are generated, or when browser storage is used to remember consent and age confirmation.

We aim to keep data handling proportionate. That means collecting only what we reasonably need to operate the site, respond to messages, maintain security, understand basic site performance, and meet legal obligations. If a process does not serve one of those functions, it has no place here.

WHAT_WE_COLLECT.sys

The information we may collect falls into a small number of categories. First, there is contact data that you choose to send us, such as your name, email address, and the contents of a message if you contact us through email. Second, there is technical data generated automatically when a page loads, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and server timestamps. Third, there is consent and preference information stored in the browser, including the local storage values used to remember age verification and cookie choices.

We do not ask visitors to create a user account on the site. We do not knowingly collect payment card information, banking information, or documents used for casino verification. If such data is sent to us by mistake, we will take reasonable steps to delete it where practical.

HOW_DATA_REACHES_US.cfg

Data reaches us in a few different ways. You may supply information directly by emailing us. Your browser may send technical signals as part of the normal process of requesting a webpage. Service providers that help us host, secure, or maintain the site may also process limited data on our behalf. In addition, when you click an external operator link, the receiving website may independently collect information under its own privacy notice. That later collection is controlled by the operator, not by Slotforgeuk20.

PURPOSE_MAP.txt

We use personal data to run and improve the site, respond to enquiries, detect abuse, record consent choices, investigate technical faults, comply with law, and preserve the integrity of the service. Contact information is used to answer the specific request you sent. Technical data helps with uptime, defence against misuse, and understanding whether pages are loading as expected. Consent records help us avoid showing the same prompts repeatedly and demonstrate that choices were captured.

We may also use aggregated and non-identifiable information for editorial planning, such as understanding which pages are visited more frequently. When possible, we prefer aggregated insight over person-level tracking.

GDPR_LEGAL_BASES.exe

Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, our legal bases depend on the context. We rely on legitimate interests for core site administration, security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and the handling of ordinary business correspondence where those interests are not overridden by your rights. We rely on consent where a choice is required, such as remembering cookie preferences beyond strictly necessary storage. We may rely on legal obligation where we must retain or disclose data to comply with law, regulation, or a lawful request from a competent authority.

If a specific communication could lead to pre-contract discussions or a service-related arrangement, we may also rely on steps taken at your request before entering a contract. In practice, most of our processing stays within legitimate interests, consent, or legal obligation.

SHARING_RULES.ini

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers who support hosting, content delivery, email handling, site security, or professional advice, but only where that sharing is reasonably necessary. Those providers are expected to process information under contractual duties and only for the functions we request.

We may also disclose information if required to comply with law, protect rights, respond to legal claims, or address threats to site integrity. If ownership or operational control of the site changes, data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and continuity protections.

COOKIE_REFERENCE.log

Cookies and related browser storage are described in more detail in our Cookie Policy. For privacy purposes, the key point is that browser-level identifiers can still count as personal data when they are capable of being linked to a device or user. We therefore treat consent and local storage entries as part of the wider privacy picture, not as an isolated technical convenience.

RETENTION_WINDOWS.tbl

We keep personal data only for as long as there is a justified reason to do so. Contact messages may be retained for the period needed to answer the enquiry, maintain continuity, and keep an appropriate business record. Technical logs may be retained for shorter operational periods or longer where security review requires it. Consent markers stay in the browser until cleared, replaced, or removed by the user or the browser itself.

Retention can be extended where a dispute, complaint, legal request, or security issue makes preservation necessary. Once information is no longer needed, we aim to delete it, anonymise it, or isolate it from routine use.

INTERNATIONAL_TRANSFERS.net

Some service providers or infrastructure partners may process data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area. Where that happens, we seek to use providers that offer appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent protective mechanisms recognised by applicable law. International transfers can never be treated casually, so we aim to keep them limited and tied to practical necessity.

YOUR_RIGHTS_MENU

Depending on where you are located and which law applies, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent, although that does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions. Still, we take requests seriously and will assess them in good faith.

CHILDREN_AND_AGE_GATE.cfg

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children, and the presence of an age-gate reflects that stance. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact us so we can review the issue and, where appropriate, delete the information.

SECURITY_POSITION.bin

No internet transmission is completely risk free, but we use reasonable technical and organisational measures to reduce avoidable exposure. Those measures may include access controls, provider selection, update management, and limited data collection by design. Security is a practice rather than a single feature, so we review it as the site evolves.

CONTACT_AND_UPDATES.msg

Questions, requests, or privacy concerns can be sent to privacy@slotforgeuk20.com. If you contact us to exercise a privacy right, please provide enough information for us to understand the request and confirm the context. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or editorial changes. The current version will always appear on this page.
