Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

GamblingNotOnGamStop.net is an independent review and comparison site. We are not a casino, a bookmaker or any kind of gambling operator — we publish guides, reviews and listings about gambling sites that are not registered with GamStop. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit gamblingnotongamstop.net, why we collect it, how we look after it, and the choices and rights you have. We handle personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

By using this website you accept the practices described below. If you do not agree with this policy, please stop using the site.

Information We Collect

The data we hold falls into two broad groups: information that does not identify you on its own, and information that does.

Non-identifiable (technical) data. This is gathered automatically as you browse — the pages you open and how long you stay on them, the links you click, your approximate location, your device type, browser and version, operating system, language preference, time zone and the date and time of your visit. On its own this data does not tell us who you are.

Personal data. This is information that can identify you, and we only receive it when you choose to give it to us — for example your name and email address when you contact us, leave a comment, or subscribe to a newsletter. In some cases we may combine technical data (such as an IP address) with other information, in which case we treat the whole set as personal data.

We do not knowingly collect special category data such as your race, religion, political views, health or sexuality, and we ask you not to send us this kind of information.

How We Collect Your Data

We obtain information in three ways:

  • Directly from you — when you email us, fill in a contact or subscription form, or otherwise get in touch.
  • Automatically — through cookies and similar technologies that record how you interact with the site.
  • From third parties — for example analytics providers that give us aggregated statistics about site usage.

How We Use Your Data

We process your information on one of two lawful bases under UK GDPR: either because you have given consent (for instance, when you sign up to a newsletter), or because we have a legitimate interest in running and improving the site that is not outweighed by your rights.

Specifically, we use data to:

  • keep the website running, secure and free of technical faults;
  • understand which content is useful so we can improve our guides and reviews;
  • respond to your questions, comments and complaints;
  • send you newsletters or updates where you have asked to receive them;
  • detect and prevent fraud or misuse of the site.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps a website recognise your browser between visits. We use cookies to keep the site working properly, to remember your preferences, and to measure how visitors use our pages — typically through Google Analytics, which reports on traffic in aggregate rather than identifying you personally.

Cookies generally fall into three groups: strictly necessary cookies that the site cannot work without, performance and analytics cookies that show us how the site is used, and functionality cookies that remember your choices. When you first arrive you can accept or decline non-essential cookies, and you can change or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may stop parts of the site working as intended.

You can opt out of personalised advertising cookies through Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our pages contain links to gambling operators and other external websites. Once you follow a link and leave gamblingnotongamstop.net, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content or their handling of your data, and we cannot guarantee what they do with any information you give them. We strongly recommend reading the privacy policy and terms of any operator before you register or deposit.

How We Protect Your Data

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to keep your information safe, including encrypted connections (SSL) and restricted access to any data we hold. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take care to reduce the risk of loss, misuse or unauthorised access. If a data breach ever occurred that affected your rights, we would notify the relevant authority and, where required, you.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We may share information in a limited set of circumstances: with service providers who process data on our behalf (such as analytics or email delivery providers) under appropriate agreements; where we are required to by law, a court order or a regulator; and to protect our legal rights or prevent fraud. Any provider acting on our behalf is only permitted to use the data for the purpose we specify.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or for as long as the law requires. When data is no longer needed it is deleted or anonymised. If you have subscribed to a newsletter, we keep your details until you unsubscribe.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

  • be informed about how your data is used (this policy);
  • access the personal data we hold about you;
  • rectification — to have inaccurate data corrected;
  • erasure — to ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances;
  • restrict processing of your data;
  • data portability — to receive your data in a usable format;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we would ask you to contact us first so we can try to put things right.

Protecting Minors

This website is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we discover that we hold information from a minor, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please let us know at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law or in how we operate. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the site. Your continued use of gamblingnotongamstop.net after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how we handle your data, contact us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
