The short version
This page covers the privacy practices of this website, an independent information resource about Ghostino casino written for readers in the UK. It does not cover Ghostino's own player accounts, deposits or account data — those sit entirely with the operator, and we have no access to them. What follows is about what happens when you visit this site: what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Data you hand over vs data we observe
Some information reaches us because you give it to us directly — mainly through our contact form, where you provide a name, an email address and whatever message you write. We ask for nothing beyond what's needed to reply.
Other information is collected automatically simply because you're browsing. This includes your IP address, browser type, device category, pages viewed and how long you spend on them, gathered through standard analytics and, where you've consented, marketing cookies. None of this technical data is linked to a real name unless you've also written to us.
- Contact-form submissions: name, email address, message content
- Device and browser information: type, operating system, screen size
- Usage data: pages visited, time on page, referring site
- Cookie identifiers, where consent has been given
We process this on the basis of legitimate interest (keeping the site working and understanding how it's used) and consent (for analytics and marketing cookies, which you can decline).
Processors and transfers
We use third-party services for hosting, analytics and, in some cases, advertising delivery. These providers act as data processors on our behalf under contractual terms, and we do not sell personal data to anyone. Where a processor is based outside the UK, transfers are made under recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. We do not share your data with Ghostino or any other operator we write about — this portal and the casino brands it covers are run entirely separately.
Exercising your rights
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access the data we hold on you, correct it, ask us to erase it, restrict or object to processing, request portability, and withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing. To use any of these rights, email [email protected] and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you're not satisfied with how we've handled a request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent regulator for data protection.
Retention
Contact-form correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up, then deleted. Analytics data is typically retained in aggregated or anonymised form after a set period, consistent with the settings of the tools we use.
Under-18s
This site, like Ghostino itself, is intended for adults only. Access is restricted to persons aged 18+, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact [email protected] and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The current version applies from the date it's published on this page, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
This site is for players aged 18 and over (18+) only. If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
