Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy covers how RouletteNotOnGamStop.com (“the Site”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and safeguards your personal information when you visit.
We operate in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This document lays out your rights and our responsibilities when it comes to your data.
By using this Site, you agree to the practices described here. Please read through it.

2. Information We Collect
What we gather depends on how you interact with the Site.
2.1 Information You Give Us Directly
When you voluntarily send us something, we may collect:
- Contact details — name and email address when you reach out or subscribe to a newsletter
- Correspondence — the content of any messages you send
- Feedback — comments, suggestions, or reviews you submit
We only collect what you choose to share. You’re never forced to hand over personal details just to browse the Site.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit, certain technical data gets picked up automatically:
- Device info — device type, operating system, browser version
- Connection info — IP address, internet service provider
- Usage data — pages viewed, time on each page, click patterns, referring URLs
- Location data — general geographic area based on your IP (country or city level — not a precise pinpoint)
- Cookie data — information gathered through cookies and similar tech (see Section 6)
This helps us understand how people use the Site and where we need to improve.
2.3 Information from Third Parties
We occasionally receive limited data from external sources:
- Analytics providers — aggregated usage statistics
- Affiliate partners — referral confirmations (no personal gambling data)
- Advertising networks — demographic and interest data for ad targeting
To be clear: we don’t receive anything about your gambling activity, account balances, or betting history from any casino. None of it.

- Figuring out which content readers actually find useful
3.2 Communicating With You
- Replying to enquiries and support messages
- Sending newsletters — only if you’ve opted in
- Letting you know about significant changes to the Site or our policies
3.3 Supporting Business Operations

4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we need a valid legal reason to process your personal data. Here’s what applies:
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiries | Legitimate interests / Contract performance |
| Sending marketing emails | Consent (withdraw anytime) |
| Analytics and Site improvement | Legitimate interests |
| Affiliate tracking | Legitimate interests |
| Essential cookies | Legitimate interests |
| Non-essential cookies | Consent |
| Fraud prevention | Legitimate interests |
| Legal compliance | Legal obligation |
“Legitimate interests” means we’ve weighed it up and concluded the processing is necessary for running the Site without overriding your fundamental rights. Want to see our assessments? Get in touch.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don’t sell your personal data. Full stop.
We may share information with the following categories:
5.1 Service Providers
Third parties that help keep the Site running:
- Hosting providers — secure server infrastructure
- Analytics services — website usage analysis (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Email service providers — newsletter delivery
- Security services — fraud prevention and DDoS protection
These providers act on our instructions only and are contractually required to protect your information.
5.2 Affiliate Partners
When you click a casino link, affiliate tracking records that you arrived from our Site. That typically involves:
- A unique tracking ID in the URL
- Cookies placed by the affiliate network
- Confirmation that a registration happened
We get told a referral occurred — nothing more. Not your gambling data, not your account details, not your betting history.
5.3 Advertising Partners
We work with ad networks that may collect data through cookies to show relevant adverts. See Section 6 for how to manage your advertising preferences.
5.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request — or where we believe disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with legal obligations
- Protect our rights, property, or safety
- Prevent fraud or illegal activity
- Protect others’ rights and safety
5.5 Business Transfers
If the Site is sold, merged, or transferred to another entity, your information may form part of the transferred assets. We’d notify you of any such change and explain your options regarding your data.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tech to collect data and improve your experience on the Site.
6.1 What Are Cookies?
Small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences and understand how you navigate around.
6.2 Types of Cookies We Use

6.3 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies come from external services we use:
- Google Analytics — traffic analysis (Privacy Policy)
- Google AdSense — advertising (Privacy Policy)
- Affiliate networks — referral tracking (various policies)
- Social media platforms — sharing buttons and embedded content
Each third party has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.
6.4 Managing Cookies
You have control:
- Cookie consent banner — set your preferences on first visit or revisit via Cookie Settings in the footer
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies
- Opt-out tools — NAI Opt-Out, DAA Opt-Out
- Google Analytics opt-out — Browser add-on
Heads up: blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
For the full breakdown of every cookie we use, see our Cookie Policy.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as there’s a reason to. Here’s the breakdown:
| Data Type | How Long We Keep It |
|---|---|
| Contact form submissions | 2 years from last contact |
| Email subscribers | Until you unsubscribe + 30 days |
| Analytics data | 26 months (Google Analytics default) |
| Server logs | 90 days |

Once the retention period is up, data gets deleted or anonymised. If you’d like yours removed sooner, contact us — see Section 9 for your rights.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. That includes:
- SSL/TLS encryption across the entire Site
- Access controls limiting who can view personal data
- Regular security reviews of our systems and processes
No system is 100% bulletproof — we can’t guarantee absolute security. But we treat your data with the same care we’d want for our own.
9. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have specific rights over your personal data:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Erasure — request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Withdraw consent — pull back consent for any processing that relied on it
To exercise any of these, email us at info@[site address]. We aim to respond within 30 days.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): ico.org.uk.
10. International Transfers
Some of our service providers operate outside the UK. When personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent protections recognised under UK data protection law.
11. Children’s Privacy
This Site is for adults aged 18 and over only. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
If you’re a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal data to us, please get in touch so we can remove it.
12. Third-Party Links
Our Site contains links to external websites — casino operators, help organisations, payment providers, among others. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
When you leave our Site via an outbound link, you’re subject to that site’s own privacy policy. We’d recommend reading it before sharing any personal details.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements.
When we do:
- The “Last updated” date gets refreshed
- Significant changes are flagged on the Site
- Material changes that affect how we handle your data may prompt a fresh consent request
Worth checking back periodically.
