Say you read a review here, close the tab and never come back. What does the site keep? Your IP address in a server log for a short time, and analytics data only if you agreed to analytics cookies. That’s close to everything. This page sets out the details for anyone visiting analystcasino.com, and how to get any of it deleted.
Who is responsible for your data?
The operator of this website is the controller of the data described here. Questions and requests go to [email protected].
What we collect
- Server logs. IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. Every web server records these, and we use them to keep the site running and to block attacks.
- Analytics, only with your consent. Which pages are read, roughly where visitors are and what device they use. Nothing loads until you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner.
- Cookies. One cookie stores your choice in the cookie banner. Any others are listed, with what they do, on the cookie policy page.
- Emails you send us. If you write to one of our addresses, we keep your email address and the message so we can reply.
What we don’t collect
There are no accounts, no comment boxes, no newsletter and no forms. We never ask for your name, date of birth, bank details or ID. We don’t sell personal data, and we don’t build profiles of individual visitors.
What happens when you click a link to a casino?
When you follow a link to an operator, you leave this site. The operator can see that you came from analystcasino.com. Anything you give it after that, such as your name, ID or payment details, goes to the operator under its own privacy policy, not ours. We never see it.
Embedded content, such as a video from another platform, can set cookies of its own. We don’t load it until you consent.
Legal basis
We process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Cookies are covered by the ePrivacy Regulations, S.I. No. 336 of 2011.
- Server logs and security: legitimate interests (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in keeping the site available and safe.
- Analytics and any non-essential cookies: consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer.
- Your emails to us: legitimate interests in answering you.
How long we keep it
- Server logs: up to 30 days, unless a log is needed to deal with a specific attack.
- Analytics data: up to 14 months, then deleted automatically.
- Your cookie choice: 6 months, after which the banner asks again.
- Emails: up to 2 years after the conversation ends.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- correct it
- delete it
- restrict or stop how we use it
- send it to you in a portable format
Email [email protected]. We reply within one month. Because there are no accounts, we usually can’t link a log entry to you without something to match against, such as your IP address and the date of your visit. Sending those helps us find it.
The site isn’t aimed at anyone under 18. Ireland’s digital age of consent is 16, under section 31 of the Data Protection Act 2018. We don’t knowingly process data from children.
Who can you complain to?
If you aren’t satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland’s data protection authority, at 6 Pembroke Row, Dublin 2, D02 X963, or through dataprotection.ie. You don’t have to contact us first, though it’s usually quicker.
Changes to this policy
If the site starts collecting something new, this page changes before the collection starts. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
