4. Third-Party Links
Our website contains affiliate links to third-party online casinos and sportsbooks operating independently of UK self-exclusion schemes (such as Gamstop). We do not operate gambling services, nor do we control the privacy practices, content, or policies of these external platforms. Clicking on these links transfers you to third-party domains governed by their own independent privacy notices. We strongly advise reviewing their privacy terms before registering or submitting personal information.

- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data where no legal basis exists for continued processing.
- Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
- Right to Data Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Technical and aggregated analytics data is stored securely and automatically anonymised or purged after 24 months. If you contact us via email, your correspondence is deleted within 12 months of resolution.
