Privacy policy

tfiwebdesign.co.uk is an independent informational portal that publishes reviews and analytical content about MadSlots and similar online casino products. We are not a gambling operator, do not accept bets, and do not process payments or account transactions. This policy explains what personal data the site collects from visitors, why it is collected, and how it is safeguarded in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The administration of tfiwebdesign.co.uk acts as the data controller for information gathered through this website. We are responsible for deciding how and why personal data is processed, and we apply the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency to every activity described below.

What data we collect

We collect only the information required to operate the site and respond to enquiries. This includes technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general location derived from the connection. It also includes usage data, such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and referral source.

When a visitor voluntarily submits a contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message content supplied. We do not request financial details, identity documents, or any special category data, as none of these are needed for an editorial and review website.

Cookies and similar tracking technologies are used to support core site functions and to gather aggregated analytics about how the site is used. Details of individual cookie types are set out in our separate cookie policy, referenced on this page for completeness.

Purposes of processing

Data is processed for a limited set of purposes. Technical and usage data supports site performance monitoring, security, and the improvement of navigation and content layout. Analytics data helps us understand which reviews and pages are most useful to visitors from the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

Contact form data is used solely to respond to the enquiry submitted. We do not use contact details for unsolicited marketing, and we do not sell or rent personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.

Legal basis for processing

Processing of technical and analytics data relies on our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional, and well-performing website. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the site to operate, we rely on the visitor's consent, obtained through the cookie banner before any non-essential cookie is set.

Processing of data submitted through the contact form relies on consent given at the point of submission, together with our legitimate interest in handling correspondence. Visitors may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us directly.

How long we keep data

Technical and analytics data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above, typically for a period tied to standard analytics reporting cycles. Contact form submissions are kept only for as long as needed to resolve the enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping.

Once data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised. We do not retain personal data indefinitely, and retention periods are reviewed periodically to ensure they remain proportionate.

Your rights under UK GDPR

Visitors have a number of rights over their personal data under UK data protection law. These include the right to access the data we hold, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, and the right to request erasure where there is no continuing lawful basis for processing.

Visitors also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing, the right to data portability where applicable, and the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out. Any of these rights can be exercised by contacting us using the details below, and requests are reviewed and answered within a reasonable timeframe.

Visitors who believe their data has not been handled correctly also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. This includes secure transmission protocols, restricted access to administrative systems, and regular review of our infrastructure.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and while we work to protect personal data to a high standard, visitors are encouraged to take their own precautions when sharing information online.

Contact and policy updates

For any question about this policy, or to exercise a data protection right described above, visitors can contact the tfiwebdesign.co.uk data protection contact at [email protected]. This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law, and any revision becomes effective from the moment it is published on this page.
