Privacy Policy – Spinko
Start playingThis privacy policy explains how Spinko-offiziell.de (referred to as "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit this informational portal. We are not a gambling operator or bookmaker – we publish reviews and information about online gaming brands. The operator whose services we review has its own separate privacy terms, which govern any data you provide directly to them.
This notice applies only to the data collected by this portal. If you register an account with the operator or place bets on their platform, their own privacy policy governs that relationship. We have no access to player accounts, deposits, withdrawals or betting history.
Who controls your data on this site
The data controller for any information you provide to spinko-offiziell.de is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach us at [email protected]. We are responsible for ensuring your data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
The operator behind Spinko is a separate entity with its own data-protection obligations. We do not control or process information you share with them once you leave this site.
What information we collect
We collect two broad categories of data when you use this portal:
Technical and usage data – When you visit any page on this site, your browser automatically sends information such as your IP address, device type, operating system, browser version, referring URL, and the pages you view. We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand traffic patterns, measure which content is most useful, and improve the site's layout and navigation.
Information you provide directly – If you contact us via email or submit a message through a contact form, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry.
We do not collect payment details, account credentials or any information that would identify you as a player on the operator's platform. This portal has no registration system and no user accounts.
Cookies and tracking
This site uses cookies – small text files stored on your device – to remember your preferences and measure how visitors interact with our content. Essential cookies keep the site working; analytics cookies (which require your consent) help us understand which articles are read most often and where improvements are needed.
Third-party services such as Google Analytics may set their own cookies when you visit this site. You can read more about how we use cookies, and how to disable them, on our cookie policy page.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, every use of personal data must rest on a lawful basis. We rely on legitimate interests for technical and usage data – it's necessary to operate the site, improve its content and detect technical problems. For email correspondence, we rely on your consent (by writing to us) and on legitimate interests in responding to your inquiry.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Who else sees your information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties. However, running this site involves sharing certain information with trusted service providers:
- Hosting provider – The server that stores this site's files processes your IP address and technical data when you load a page.
- Analytics services – Google Analytics processes anonymised usage data to generate traffic reports. You can opt out using browser extensions such as Google's own opt-out tool.
- Email provider – If you contact us, your message is processed by our email service to deliver it to our inbox and allow us to reply.
Where a processor is based outside the UK, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place – typically standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). We do not transfer data to countries without an adequacy decision unless protected by such clauses.
Your rights under UK data protection law
UK GDPR gives you several rights over your personal data. You can exercise them by writing to [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month.
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
| Rectification | Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information. |
| Erasure | Ask us to delete your data where there's no compelling reason to keep it. |
| Restriction | Limit how we use your data while a dispute or verification is ongoing. |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer elsewhere (where technically feasible). |
| Objection | Object to processing based on legitimate interests; we must stop unless we can demonstrate overriding grounds. |
| Withdraw consent | Where processing relies on consent (such as analytics cookies), you can withdraw it at any time. |
Exercising these rights is free of charge. In certain circumstances – for example, if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive – we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act.
Complaints and the supervisory authority
If you believe we've mishandled your personal data, please write to us first so we can put things right. If you remain dissatisfied, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.
You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk, by phone on 0303 123 1113, or by post at Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
How long we keep your data
Technical and usage data collected via analytics is anonymised and retained for up to 26 months, after which it's automatically deleted. Email correspondence is kept for as long as necessary to answer your question and resolve any follow-up – typically no longer than two years, unless ongoing correspondence justifies a longer period.
Once the retention period expires, or once the purpose for holding the data no longer applies, we delete it securely.
Children and young people
This portal is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided us with data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Gambling is restricted to adults. If you share a device with a minor, consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or your device's built-in family settings to prevent access to gaming-related sites.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our practices or the services we use. Any material change will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Check this page periodically if you want to stay informed of how we protect your information.
Contact us
Questions about this privacy policy, or about how your data is handled on spinko-offiziell.de, can be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours during normal business days.
