Legal Bases for Processing
Ffops.org.uk processes personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by the UK GDPR. Where you have provided explicit consent — for example, by accepting non-essential cookies or subscribing to our newsletter — we rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a)). For operational activities such as site analytics, affiliate tracking, and fraud prevention, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)), having balanced those interests against your rights. In limited circumstances, processing may be necessary to fulfil a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) under UK law. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Ffops.org.uk publishes reviews of and links to third-party casino operators, including Harry Casino. When you click an affiliate link on our site, you will be directed to an external operator's website that operates under its own privacy policy and data practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy standards of those third-party platforms. We also use analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which may process your data on servers outside the UK; appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses, are in place where applicable. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
Your Privacy Rights
- Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data ffops.org.uk holds about you
- Right to Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data
- Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it
- Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract
- Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing
- Right to Restrict Processing: Ask us to temporarily halt processing of your data in certain circumstances
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw any consent given at any time via our cookie tool or by contacting us directly
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your data lawfully.
Data Security & Retention
Ffops.org.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Contact form submissions and correspondence are retained for up to 24 months. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the timeframes set out in our cookies table above. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
