This policy sets out how personal data is processed on the legal-casino.pl website, in line with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the GDPR). It is an information document and is updated as the site develops.
1. Data controller
The controller of personal data is [[Administrator danych]] — the entity operating legal-casino.pl, a company registered outside Poland, address: [[adres siedziby]].
Contact on personal data matters: [email protected]. Editorial contact: [email protected].
2. What data we process
- Data you provide voluntarily — your email address and the content of your message, if you write to the editorial team.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, referring page, date and time of the visit.
- Usage data — the pages viewed, time spent on the site, clicks on links, including affiliate links.
The site does not register user accounts, does not accept payments and collects no gambling or financial data.
3. Purposes and legal bases
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Replying to a message sent to the editorial team | art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest (communication with readers) |
| Keeping the site working correctly and securely | art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest |
| Traffic statistics and analysis | art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent (analytics cookies) |
| Settling affiliate cooperation in aggregated form | art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest |
| Establishing, pursuing or defending claims | art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest |
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses cookies — small text files stored on the user’s device. We divide them into two groups:
- Necessary — required for the site to function and to remember your consent choices. No consent is needed for these.
- Analytics — used to count visits and analyse how the site is used. These are set only once consent has been given.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and cookie settings can be changed in your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent the site from working correctly.
5. Analytics
We may use web analytics tools (for example Google Analytics 4 or Plausible Analytics) to count visits and study how the site is used. These tools are loaded only after consent to analytics cookies has been given. Where a provider is established outside the European Economic Area, data transfers take place on the basis of the mechanisms provided for in Chapter V of the GDPR, in particular standard contractual clauses.
6. Recipients of the data
- the hosting and server infrastructure provider,
- the email service provider,
- the analytics tool provider (where consent has been given),
- competent public authorities — solely on the basis of legal provisions.
We do not sell personal data and do not share it with casino operators. Following an affiliate link takes you to an external site, which applies its own privacy policy — from that moment that entity is the data controller.
7. Retention periods
- Correspondence with the editorial team — up to 12 months from the closure of the matter, unless a longer period is required to defend claims.
- Analytics data — in line with the retention settings of the analytics tool, and no longer than 26 months.
- Server logs — usually up to 12 months, for security and diagnostic purposes.
- The record of cookie consent — until it is withdrawn or the cookie expires.
8. Your rights
You have the right to: access your data, rectify it, have it erased, restrict processing, port your data, object to processing based on legitimate interest, and withdraw consent at any time.
Requests are accepted at [email protected]. We reply without undue delay and no later than one month from receiving the request.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, uodo.gov.pl. If you usually reside in another EU or EEA country, you may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority there.
9. Providing data is voluntary
Providing data is voluntary. You do not have to give any data in order to read the content of the site. An email address is needed only if you want a reply to a message sent to the editorial team.
10. Changes to this policy
We update this policy whenever the scope of processing or the tools we use change. The current version is always available at this address. The rules for using the site are set out separately in our terms of use, and all the ways to reach us are on the contact page. Who we are and how our material is produced is explained on about us, and our scoring method on how we rate.
