Scope of this notice
This notice covers fishspins.co.uk itself – the independent portal you are reading now – and not Fishandspins, the casino brand we write about. Once you leave our pages and register on the operator's own site, its own privacy policy takes over; we have no visibility into what happens with your data there. What follows explains what WE collect when you browse this portal, get in touch, or read our coverage of Fishandspins casino.
We are a UK-facing information site, and this notice is written to comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. If any wording below conflicts with those laws, the law prevails.
Categories of information we handle
Two broad categories apply. The first is technical data gathered automatically as you browse: your approximate location, browser type, device information, pages viewed and referring links, typically via cookies (see our separate cookie policy for detail). The second is information you hand over yourself – your name and email address if you use our contact form, plus the content of your message.
- Technical and analytics data collected automatically on every visit
- Contact-form submissions – name, email, message content
- Basic engagement metrics used to see which articles are read
We never ask visitors to submit payment details, identity documents or account passwords through this portal – any request for that kind of information will always come from the operator itself, never from us.
Lawful basis for processing
Analytics-style cookies run on the basis of your consent, given through the cookie banner. Processing a contact-form message rests on our legitimate interest in answering the question you sent us, and in keeping a record in case you write again. Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting anything processed beforehand.
Sharing with third parties
We use standard analytics and hosting providers to keep this site running, and their processing is limited to what is needed for that purpose. We do not sell personal data, and we do not pass your details to Fishandspins or to any other operator – there is no commercial relationship in which your contact details would be traded. Some third-party scripts (analytics, embedded content) may set their own cookies; details sit in the cookie policy rather than repeated here.
Your controls under UK GDPR
You have the right to access the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, request erasure, restrict or object to processing, and receive a portable copy where technically feasible. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any point. None of these rights cost anything to exercise.
| Right | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Access | Ask what we hold on you |
| Rectification | Correct inaccurate details |
| Erasure | Request deletion where no legal reason to keep it exists |
| Objection / restriction | Limit or stop certain processing |
| Portability | Receive your data in a usable format |
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. If you feel a request has not been handled properly, you can complain to the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), though we would ask you to raise it with us first.
Protection of minors
This portal writes about a gambling product and is intended strictly for readers aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and any contact-form submission that suggests the sender is a minor will be deleted rather than answered. Parents sharing a device with a child may want to look at parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio alongside their own browser settings.
Changes to this notice
We may update this policy as the site or its tools change; the current version always applies from the date it is published. This notice was last reviewed in 2026.
Questions about this notice, or about any data we hold on you, can go to [email protected].
