playverdictuk.com writes about online casinos, among them casinos not on GamStop and the waiting times promised on their payouts, for readers in Great Britain, and the personal data it processes goes no further than running an information site requires. The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern that processing. The duty to inform under Article 13 of the UK GDPR is met by this policy.
Who controls the data
The body that runs playverdictuk.com is the controller within the meaning of Article 4(7) UK GDPR. Its name, address and e-mail address sit at playverdictuk.com, and that same channel carries every question about personal data.
What is processed
A log entry is written by the server whenever a page is opened: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data sent, the referring page and the type of browser. Security and the detection of abuse are what these logs serve, and after 90 days they are deleted or shortened until they no longer point to a person. A name, an e-mail address and the text of the message are supplied by anyone writing to the editors, and are used for the reply alone. There are no reader accounts, no deposits and no stakes here, so identity documents and payment details are never collected.
How long it is kept
No longer than its purpose requires is the rule: server logs for no more than 90 days, correspondence until the matter is closed and for the period needed to defend against possible claims. A message may be sent or not, as the sender prefers, but no reply can be given without it.
Why it is processed, and on what basis
Keeping the site working and secure is a legitimate interest of the controller, and the server logs and protection against abuse rest on it (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). The same interest underlies the answering of a message. Consent is required for audience measurement and for cookies other than the strictly necessary ones (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR together with regulation 6 of PECR), and none of them run until it has been given; withdrawal is possible at any time and does not touch the lawfulness of earlier processing (Article 7(3)). No profiling takes place and no decision is automated.
Who receives it, and transfers outside the UK
The data is not sold. Processors acting on the controller's instructions — hosting, content delivery and e-mail providers (Article 28 UK GDPR) — are the recipients, together with public authorities where the law demands it. Only a country covered by adequacy regulations, or a transfer with appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum, is used for a transfer outside the United Kingdom (Article 44 onwards).
Rights
Access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Article 21) belong to every person. A request is answered without undue delay and within one month of receipt; Article 12(3) allows that period to be extended by a further two months where it is needed.
Supervision and complaints
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority. A person who considers the processing of their data to breach data protection law may complain to it (Article 77 UK GDPR).
