Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how bellacasino-uk.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit our website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

bellacasino-uk.com is an independent affiliate review site. We are not affiliated with Bella Casino or The Rank Group plc. This policy applies solely to data collected by our website, not by any third-party casino operator. If you register at Bella Casino through our links, the operator's own privacy policy governs how they handle your data.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate and improve this website. The types of data we may collect include:

• • Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, device type, operating system, and screen resolution. This data is collected through analytics tools and is typically anonymised or pseudonymised.
• • IP address: Your IP address may be temporarily logged by our web server for security and fraud prevention purposes. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
• • Contact information: If you email us at [email protected], we collect your email address and any information you include in your message. This data is only used to respond to your enquiry.
• • Cookie data: See Section 4 below for full details on cookies.

We do not collect payment details, gambling account information, or any special category personal data through this website.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the data collected for the following purposes:

• • To understand how visitors use our site and improve our content and user experience.
• • To maintain the security and performance of the website.
• • To respond to enquiries you send via email.
• • To comply with legal obligations where applicable.

The legal basis for processing your data is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) for analytics and site operation, and consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for non-essential cookies. Where you contact us, the legal basis is the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Article 6(1)(b)).

When you first visit our site, a cookie banner asks for your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site. You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may affect site functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

We may share anonymised or pseudonymised data with the following categories of third parties:

• • Analytics providers: To measure site performance and visitor behaviour (e.g., Google Analytics, configured with IP anonymisation).
• • Affiliate networks: When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may place its own cookies. This is governed by that site's privacy policy, not ours.
• • Hosting provider: Our web hosting provider processes server logs that may contain IP addresses for security and uptime monitoring.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months. Email correspondence is retained for up to 12 months after the last communication, then deleted. Server logs containing IP addresses are automatically purged after 90 days.
