1. Who we are
Dcekraft1Grid is an independent editorial comparison site focused on UK-facing casino reviews, bonus explanations and safer gambling information. We are not a gambling operator and we do not provide gambling accounts, process wagers or hold player balances. When this policy refers to "we", "our" or "us", it refers to the team operating Dcekraft1Grid and the domain dcekraft1grid.com.
You can contact us about this policy or any privacy request at contact@dcekraft1grid.com. If you contact us, please provide enough detail for us to understand the request and verify that we are responding to the correct person.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal data collected through the Dcekraft1Grid website, including contact messages, technical logs, cookie preferences, age confirmation status stored in your browser and routine website analytics if they are used. It does not apply to information processed by third-party casinos or other third-party websites that you visit after clicking a link on our pages. Those organisations control their own data practices and publish their own privacy notices.
Because we operate as an editorial platform, the amount of personal data we collect is limited compared with account-based services. We still treat that limited information carefully and aim to explain our handling in plain language.
3. Categories of data we may collect
The information we may process includes technical data such as IP address, device type, browser type, language settings, approximate region, referring page, pages viewed and timestamps. We may also process interaction data such as cookie consent choice, whether the age gate was acknowledged and which pages or outbound links were used. If you contact us by email, we may process your name, email address and the contents of your message.
We do not ask readers to create user accounts on Dcekraft1Grid, and we do not knowingly collect payment data, gambling history or identification documents through this site.
4. How we obtain data
Some data is provided directly by you when you email us or click consent options. Other data is collected automatically when your browser loads pages from the site, such as standard server logs or analytics information. Cookie and local storage tools may remember simple preferences so that the site does not repeatedly ask the same questions during future visits.
We may also receive limited aggregated reporting from partners about whether a referral link was used. That reporting is generally statistical and designed to measure campaign or page performance rather than to build a personal profile of an individual reader.
5. Lawful bases for processing
Where UK GDPR or similar rules apply, we rely on one or more lawful bases depending on the activity. We may process technical data and basic operational information because it is necessary for our legitimate interests in securing the site, measuring performance, improving content and keeping records of consent settings. We rely on consent where the law requires consent for certain cookies or similar technologies. We may process contact messages because doing so is necessary to respond to your request or to take steps requested by you.
When legitimate interests are relied upon, we consider whether the activity is proportionate, whether readers would reasonably expect it and whether the impact on privacy remains low.
6. Why we use the data
We use personal data to operate the website, display pages correctly, remember whether the age-check and cookie banner were completed, analyse traffic patterns, improve editorial layout, detect misuse, maintain basic security and respond to communications. If we review a technical problem, log data can help us understand what happened and whether it affected multiple readers.
We do not use this website to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about readers. We do not use contact data to send routine marketing newsletters because the site does not operate a subscriber mailing list.
7. Sharing and third parties
We may share limited data with service providers that help host, secure or maintain the site, provided those providers process the data on appropriate instructions and safeguards. We may also disclose information where required to comply with law, enforce our terms, protect rights or respond to valid requests from authorities. If an analytics tool is used, it may process technical identifiers to generate usage statistics.
Outbound links on our site take readers to casino operators or support organisations. Once you leave Dcekraft1Grid, the privacy practices of those destinations apply to you separately.
8. International transfers
Some of the providers used to operate websites may process data outside the UK. Where that occurs, we aim to use providers that offer lawful transfer mechanisms and suitable safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, adequacy regulations or equivalent protective measures. Transfers are assessed in light of the nature of the information and the role of the provider.
Because our own data collection is limited, we aim to avoid unnecessary international complexity where practical.
9. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including operational, legal and record-keeping needs. Contact emails may be retained for a period that allows us to manage correspondence, resolve follow-up issues and keep an accurate record of requests. Technical logs are generally kept for shorter periods unless they are needed for security review or troubleshooting.
Preference data stored in your browser, such as age confirmation and cookie choice, remains until it expires, is replaced or is cleared by you.
10. Your rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing and data portability in some circumstances. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, though withdrawal does not invalidate earlier processing carried out lawfully before the change.
You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority if you believe your information has been handled improperly. We encourage readers to contact us first so we have the opportunity to address the concern directly and quickly.
11. Security measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the information we process. Those steps may include access controls, software maintenance, restricted administrative access and routine review of the site configuration. No internet transmission or storage method is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security. We can promise that we aim to keep the data footprint small and the controls sensible.
Readers also play a role in privacy. Avoid sending unnecessary personal information in email unless it is relevant to your message.
12. Children's data and age limits
Dcekraft1Grid is intended for adults aged 18 and over because it relates to gambling content. We do not knowingly seek personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, contact us and we will review the situation promptly.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect operational changes, legal developments or changes in the way the site works. When we make material revisions, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date if appropriate. Readers should check this page periodically if they want to stay informed about how data is handled.
