Privacy policy – stakefocusuk
stakefocusuk reports on payout times at casinos, those not on GamStop included, for readers in Great Britain and processes only the personal data an information site needs. The rules that apply are the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Article 13 of the UK GDPR places a duty to inform on a controller, and this policy discharges it.
Controller
The body that runs stakefocusuk is the controller within the meaning of Article 4(7) UK GDPR. At stakefocusuk.com its name, its address and its e-mail address can be found, and that one channel serves for any question touching personal data.
Lawful bases and purposes
The controller’s legitimate interests in a site that keeps working and stays secure carry the server logs and the defence against abuse (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR), and the same interest carries the answering of a message. Consent is what the non-essential cookies and audience measurement require (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR read with regulation 6 of PECR); nothing of that kind runs before consent has been given, and consent may be withdrawn whenever the reader wishes, without the lawfulness of processing done earlier being affected (Article 7(3)). Automated decision-making plays no part here, and no profiling takes place.
What is processed
A log entry is written by the server each time a page is opened, holding the IP address, the date and the time, the address requested, the volume of data sent, the referring page and the browser type. Security and the detection of abuse are what those logs serve, and at 90 days they are deleted or shortened so that no link to a person remains. A name, an e-mail address and the text of the message come with any note sent to the editors, and answering is the only use made of them. Reader accounts, deposits and stakes do not exist on this site, which is why payment details and identity documents are never collected.
Rights
Access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection to processing resting on legitimate interests (Article 21) are available to every person. Answers to a request come without undue delay and no later than one month after it is received; a further two months may be added to that period where the case requires it, under Article 12(3).
Recipients and transfers outside the UK
No sale of data takes place. Processors working on the controller’s instructions — hosting, content delivery and e-mail among them — are the recipients (Article 28 UK GDPR), together with public authorities where the law demands it. Only a country covered by adequacy regulations, or a transfer made with appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum, is used for any transfer beyond the United Kingdom (Article 44 onwards).
Retention
No longer than its purpose demands is any data kept: server logs for a maximum of 90 days, correspondence until the matter is closed and for the stretch needed to answer possible claims. Data given in a message is given voluntarily, though no reply can be sent without it.
Supervision and complaints
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority. A right to complain to it (Article 77 UK GDPR) belongs to anyone who considers the processing of their data to be in breach of data protection law.
