1. Who we are
Crown Slot Showcase is an editorial comparison website for adults in Great Britain. We review casino offers, publish comparison content and link out to licensed third-party operators. For data protection purposes, Crown Slot Showcase acts as the controller for personal data collected through this website. We do not operate casino services, open gambling accounts or process player deposits or withdrawals.
If you have questions about this notice, you can contact us at dataprotection@crownslotshowcase.co.uk. General editorial enquiries can be sent to hello@crownslotshowcase.co.uk. We review privacy enquiries carefully and aim to respond without unnecessary delay.
2. What data we collect
We collect only the categories of data that are relevant to running an editorial website. That may include technical information such as browser type, operating system, language settings, device identifiers, IP address, referral source, pages viewed, timestamps and interaction events such as button clicks or reading depth. If you email us, we will also process the information you choose to include in your message, such as your name, email address and the contents of your enquiry.
We do not knowingly collect special category data through routine site use, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. If we become aware that personal data from a child has been submitted to us, we will take steps to remove it as soon as reasonably practicable.
3. How we collect data
Personal data reaches us in several ways. Some data is provided directly by you when you contact us or interact with consent tools. Some is collected automatically when you browse the site, for example through server logs, local storage, device information or analytics tags that help us understand how the site is being used. We may also receive limited data from service providers who host, secure or measure the website on our behalf.
When you follow an outbound link to a casino, that destination operates under its own privacy notice and cookie framework. We may know that a link was clicked from our site, but the operator controls any further data collected after you land on its service. You should read the third party’s own policies before registering or sharing information there.
4. Why we use personal data
We use personal data to run the site, keep it secure, measure whether pages are functioning properly, respond to correspondence, remember age confirmation and consent choices, prevent misuse and improve our editorial presentation. In practice, this means understanding which sections readers reach, whether certain layouts break on specific devices, and whether our disclosure and support pages are easy to find.
We also use limited data to maintain records of requests made under data protection law and to keep evidence of consent where that is necessary. We do not use personal data to make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. We do not build personality profiles for advertising purposes.
5. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our lawful bases depend on the context. We rely on legitimate interests for website administration, security, service improvement, fraud prevention and understanding how readers use our editorial content, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. We rely on consent where the law requires it, particularly in relation to optional cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary.
If you email us about a rights request, complaint or editorial question, we process your information because it is necessary to respond and because we have a legitimate interest in handling correspondence relating to the site. In some cases we may process information to comply with legal obligations, for example where we need to maintain records or respond to regulators or lawful requests.
6. Cookies, local storage and similar tools
We use local storage keys to remember whether a visitor has confirmed they are 18 or over and whether they have already made a cookie choice. Those tools are important for user experience and compliance because they stop the age gate and cookie banner from reappearing on every refresh. We may also use limited analytics tools to understand site performance and reader flow, subject to the consent choices that apply.
Further detail is available in our Cookie Policy. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings, although doing so may cause the age confirmation and consent prompts to appear again on your next visit.
7. Sharing personal data
We share data only where there is a clear operational reason. That may include hosting providers, analytics providers, security providers, email providers, developers and professional advisers who help us run or protect the site. Those recipients act under contractual controls where appropriate and are expected to handle data securely and lawfully.
We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so, where disclosure is necessary to protect rights, property or safety, or where a business transfer affects the site in the future. We do not sell personal data. We do not share reader data with casino operators in a manner that would allow them to identify you simply because you viewed our editorial content.
8. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. When that happens, we take steps to ensure there is an appropriate level of protection. Depending on the destination and the service provider, that may include adequacy regulations, approved contractual safeguards or supplementary measures designed to protect personal data.
Transfers are assessed in context. We do not assume that a popular tool is automatically suitable. If you want more information about the safeguards relevant to a particular category of transfer, contact us using the details in this notice and we will explain what is appropriate to disclose.
9. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Technical logs are retained for security, troubleshooting and audit needs for limited periods. Analytics information is kept only while it remains useful for trend analysis and service improvement. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve the issue raised, maintain records of requests, or meet legal and administrative needs.
Retention is not purely mechanical. We consider the sensitivity of the information, the volume involved, the purpose for processing, the risk of harm from unauthorised use and any legal requirements that apply. When personal data is no longer needed, we delete it or render it anonymous where appropriate.
10. Your rights
Under UK GDPR and related data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, ask for inaccurate data to be corrected, request deletion, object to certain processing, request restriction, ask for portability in relevant cases and withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. These rights are not absolute, but they are important and we take them seriously.
To exercise your rights, email dataprotection@crownslotshowcase.co.uk. We may need enough information to verify your identity before responding. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, although we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.
11. Security measures
We use technical and organisational measures that are appropriate to the nature of the site and the information we hold. Those measures may include access controls, hosting safeguards, patching, monitoring, limited permissions, encrypted connections and operational procedures for investigating issues. No internet service can promise absolute security, but we try to keep risk proportionate and sensible.
You also play a role in security. If you contact us, please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive material. If you believe information relating to this site has been exposed or misused, contact us promptly so we can investigate.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect legal developments, operational changes, new service providers or changes in the way the site works. The version published on this page is the version that applies at the time of your visit unless stated otherwise. We encourage readers to review the notice periodically if they use the site more than once.
Material changes will be reflected by updating the date shown on this page and, where appropriate, by adjusting associated consent tools. The current version was last updated on 8 June 2026.
