1. Who we are
CasinoClaude.ink is an independent online-casino review site published at the domain casinoclaude.ink. For the purposes of the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR, we are the data controller for the personal data described on this page. We do not run any casinos, we do not hold player accounts, and no deposit, wager or withdrawal ever passes through our systems.
2. What personal data we collect
We keep data collection to what is strictly needed to run the site and to reply to people who write to us. In short:
- No personal data is collected except what you submit through the contact form or by email. If you do not send us a message, we do not know who you are.
- Basic, anonymised analytics tell us which pages are being read and roughly which country readers are in, but they do not identify individuals.
- Standard server logs record IP addresses briefly for security purposes.
- A very small number of cookies remembers your consent choice and basic display preferences.
We do not collect payment information, we do not ask for identity documents, we do not build advertising profiles about individual readers, and we never sell, rent or trade personal data.
3. What, why and for how long
| What data we collect | Why we collect it | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Contact form and email submissions (name, email, message body) | To reply to your message and, where relevant, update the site | 24 months from the last message in the thread, then deleted |
| Aggregated analytics (page views, referring URL, country / region, device type) | To understand which content is used and where to improve the site | Up to 14 months, aggregated thereafter |
| Server logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL) | Site security, spam and abuse prevention, technical diagnostics | 30 days rolling |
| Cookie-consent record | Remembering that you have already answered the consent banner | 12 months, or until you clear it in your browser |
4. Lawful basis (GDPR)
Under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, we rely on two lawful bases only:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for analytics and functional cookies. Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies fires until you have accepted them through the cookie banner, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) for replying to messages you have chosen to send us, for keeping strictly necessary cookies working, and for retaining short server logs to keep the site secure.
5. Cookies and tracking
We use a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies load on every visit because the site cannot work without them; analytics and functional cookies only load once you have given consent through the banner. The full breakdown, name by name, sits on our Cookies page.
6. Who sees your data
Some parts of the site rely on trusted processors. None of them receives more than they need, and each one is bound either by GDPR-compliant contractual clauses or by an equivalent legal safeguard.
- Hosting provider. A European host serves the site and briefly retains standard server logs for security.
- Email provider. Messages sent to hello@casinoclaude.ink are handled by a European mail host under a written data-processing agreement.
- Analytics. Aggregated, anonymised traffic measurement runs only after consent (IP anonymisation on).
- Affiliate networks. When you click an outbound link to a casino, the destination operator or its affiliate network may set its own cookie so that any subsequent sign-up is attributed to CasinoClaude.ink. That happens on the operator's site and its own privacy policy applies from the moment you land there.
7. Your rights under the GDPR
If you are in the UK, the EEA or any jurisdiction with equivalent safeguards, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erasure — the "right to be forgotten". You can request deletion of any personal data we hold on you by emailing hello@casinoclaude.ink; we action verified requests inside the 30-day window required by law.
- Restrict or object to our processing.
- Withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time, without affecting anything else.
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Complain to your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the ICO at ico.org.uk).
8. How to reach us
Any privacy query, data-subject access request or concern about how we handle your information goes to hello@casinoclaude.ink. Please include enough detail for us to identify your data — usually the email address you have used to contact us before and any relevant dates — and describe what you would like us to do.
9. Updates to this policy
We revisit this page whenever the tooling on the site changes, or when the regulatory landscape shifts. When we make a material change, the last-updated date at the top of this page moves and the previous version is archived internally. The current live text is dated 31 July 2026.
