Privacy Policy

This page explains how we handle information gathered through spotinthewoods.co.uk. We are an independent editorial team that reviews and compares casinos that sit outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. We take your privacy seriously, and we have written this policy in plain English so it is easy to follow.

What We Collect

When you browse our site, our hosting and analytics tools record basic technical details — such as which pages were visited, how long a session lasted, and the type of device used. None of this identifies you personally. If you reach out to us directly via email or through our contact page, we retain the message content and any contact details you choose to share, solely so we can respond to you.

Why We Collect It

Analytics data helps us understand which content is useful and where the site can be improved. Contact data is kept only for the purpose of answering your query. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information to third parties — full stop.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to support site functionality and to gather anonymised usage statistics. You can adjust or withdraw cookie consent at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies without affecting your ability to read our content.

Links to External Casinos

Our reviews contain links to casino operators licensed outside the UK. Once you leave spotinthewoods.co.uk, their own privacy policies apply. We have no control over how those operators collect or use your data, so we strongly encourage you to read their privacy notices before registering an account.

How Long We Keep Data

Contact enquiries are kept only as long as necessary to resolve your query and are then deleted. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods to help us track site performance over time.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to any personal data we hold about you, and to ask us to correct or delete it. To make such a request, please use our contact page. We will respond promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate or in applicable standards. Any revisions will be published on this page, so we recommend checking back occasionally.

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, free support is available from GamCare and BeGambleAware.
