1. Who we are
Spin Perk Shelf is an independent editorial comparison site focused on UK casino offers and related informational content. We are not a gambling operator and do not provide betting, gaming or account wallet services. For the purposes of UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we act as the controller of the limited personal data processed through this website.
2. What this policy covers
This notice applies to personal data gathered through your visit to spinperkshelf.co.uk, including information collected through cookies, technical logs, direct messages and other basic site interactions. It covers visitors in Great Britain and anyone else who reaches the site, although the content of the website is written for adults aged 18 or over in the United Kingdom.
3. The information we may collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect technical details such as IP address, browser type, device information, page views, referral source, cookie preference state and age-gate confirmation state. If you contact us directly, we may also process the information you include in your message, such as your name, email address and the substance of your enquiry.
We do not knowingly seek special category data, payment card details or gambling account credentials. Please do not send us that material.
4. How we collect data
Some information is collected automatically when your browser loads our pages. This includes basic server and analytics signals, plus functional site data used to remember whether you have already completed the 18+ overlay and whether you have made a cookie preference choice. Other information is collected only if you choose to contact us, follow an external link or interact with page features in a way that creates a technical event.
5. Our lawful bases
We rely on legitimate interests to maintain the website, improve layout and editorial performance, prevent misuse and understand broad readership behaviour. We rely on consent where the law requires it, particularly for non-essential cookies or similar technologies. We may also process personal data where necessary to respond to a request you make before entering into a discussion with us or to comply with a legal obligation.
6. Why we process personal data
We process personal data so the site can function, remember essential preferences, keep pages secure, analyse what content is being used, answer incoming messages and document compliance choices. The point is operational and editorial, not behavioural profiling for gambling activity. We do not use your information to run a player account because no such account exists on Spin Perk Shelf.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website uses a small number of cookies or local storage entries to remember age confirmation, cookie choice and core performance signals. Those items are described in greater detail in our cookie policy. Essential storage helps the site behave consistently from one page to the next. Non-essential analytics or measurement tools, where used, should only run according to the preference you have chosen through our cookie banner.
8. Sharing data with third parties
We may share limited data with service providers who support hosting, analytics, spam filtering, security monitoring or similar website operations. We may also share information where required by law, where necessary to defend legal claims or where a corporate restructuring means website operations are transferred. We do not sell personal data in the ordinary sense of selling customer lists to unrelated third parties.
9. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we aim to use providers with appropriate safeguards in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law. The practical level of information involved is usually low, but we still take transfer compliance seriously.
10. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose that justified collection. Technical logs and analytics data may be retained for a limited operational period. Emails and correspondence may be kept longer if a message raises a legal, compliance or support issue that requires a documented trail. When data is no longer needed, we aim to delete it or anonymise it.
11. Your rights under UK GDPR
You may have the right to request access to your personal data, ask for correction, seek erasure, object to certain processing, request restriction, ask for portability where applicable and withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis. These rights are not absolute, and in some cases we may need to retain information to comply with law or defend legal claims. If you want to exercise a right, contact us and explain the request clearly so we can assess it properly.
12. Complaints and contact
If you have a privacy question, email dataprotection@spinperkshelf.co.uk. We may need enough information to verify that the request is genuinely yours before disclosing or changing personal data. If you remain unhappy after contacting us, you may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address the issue first.
