Last updated: 31 August 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how GlobalCasinoBonus (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Website”) collects and uses personal data when you visit globalcasinobonus.com, interact with our content, or contact us. We operate as an editorial comparison website; we are not an online casino and we do not process gambling accounts or payments.

Provide & improve the Website (legitimate interests) – run the site, measure performance, fix errors, prevent abuse.
Communications (legitimate interests/consent) – respond to enquiries you send us.
Consent-based cookies (consent) – analytics/advertising cookies only after you opt in.

Analytics – measure visits and performance (aggregated). Set only with your consent.
Advertising/affiliate – measure outbound clicks and conversions with partners. Set only with your consent where required.

Manage consent via our cookie banner; you can withdraw consent at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Our site does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

5) Affiliate links & tracking

Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click them, partner networks may set cookies or read click parameters to attribute referrals. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not control data collected on partner sites—please read the operator’s privacy policy and terms before you sign up or deposit.

We share data with trusted service providers (processors) to operate this Website, including:

Cloudflare (DNS/CDN/WAF/DDoS) – delivers content, caches pages, and protects against attacks; processes IP addresses and security logs as traffic passes through their network.
Web hosting – serves the website and stores server logs.
Web analytics – aggregates usage statistics (e.g., page views) if you consent.
Email services – receive and respond to messages you send us.
Anti-spam & security – detect bots/abuse and protect forms and infrastructure.
Affiliate networks – handle click attribution and reporting when you visit partners.

We require processors to safeguard personal data and to process it only on our instructions.

7) International transfers

Some providers (including Cloudflare) operate globally. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK/EU/EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or equivalent mechanisms implemented by our processors.

8) Data retention

Contact enquiries: typically up to 12 months after resolution.
Server & security logs (incl. Cloudflare): typically up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting.
Analytics data: typically 14–26 months (aggregated, if enabled by consent).
Cookie preferences: typically 6–12 months (or until you clear cookies).
Affiliate click metadata: typically up to 24 months (held by the partner network, per their policy).

9) Your rights (UK/EU)

You may have the right to:

Access your personal data and obtain a copy;
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
Erase data in certain circumstances;
Restrict or object to processing (including profiling on legitimate interests);
Data portability (where applicable);
Withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing (e.g., analytics cookies);
Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (e.g., the UK ICO).

To exercise your rights, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, least-privilege principles, and regular updates. We also use Cloudflare for CDN, web application firewall (WAF), DDoS mitigation, and caching at the edge to improve performance and resilience. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11) Minors

This Website is intended for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

12) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
