This notice covers what happens to data when you read Dudespin Review. The site is an editorial publication rather than a gambling business, so the categories a casino handles, meaning identity documents, payment cards, balances and wagering histories, never arrive here in the first place. What the site does gather is a thin layer of usage data, described below without the usual legal fog.
Who is responsible for the data
The publisher of this website acts as controller for the limited processing set out here. Data questions go to the editorial address listed on our contact page, and they are answered by the same people who write the reviews.
What the site records
Server logs come first: an IP address, browser and device type, the URL requested and the time of the request. They exist so the site can be kept online and so abuse can be traced back to its source.
Then first-party analytics, which record four things and no more. A page view. How long a session lasted. How far down a page a reader scrolled. And whether a link to the operator was clicked, since tracked outbound links pass through a redirect on this domain that counts the event before forwarding.
None of it is attached to a name. There is no account to create here, no newsletter, no comment box, and not a single field of gambling-account data anywhere in our systems.
Cookies
A small set, in two groups. Some are necessary for a page to render and to remember a language choice. The rest belong to the analytics above and tally visits in aggregate. Browser settings will refuse or clear either group; the pages read exactly the same without the optional ones, and all that is lost is our picture of which reviews get used.
Third parties and the operator
Analytics processing runs on our own infrastructure, so usage data is not handed to an advertising network and is never sold. Where a reader follows a tracked link, the operator’s affiliate system may register that a referral originated here. It receives an event, not a person: we pass on nothing about who you are, and we have no sight of what happens once you are on the casino’s site, where its own privacy terms take over. The commercial side of that arrangement is described in our affiliate disclosure.
How long anything is kept
Raw server logs rotate within a few weeks. Aggregated analytics counters carry no identifier and are kept for editorial planning, because knowing which pages earn their place is how the next ones get commissioned. Nothing is stored on the theory that it might come in handy later.
Your rights under the GDPR
Anyone reading from the United Kingdom, the European Union or the wider EEA can ask what we hold, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to the processing, and receive a copy in a portable format. Complaints can go to your national supervisory authority: the Information Commissioner’s Office in Britain, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali in Italy, or the competent state data-protection authority in Germany.
Requests are answered inside the statutory month. Given how little is held, the honest answer to most access requests is a rotating log line and a column in an aggregate counter.
