stakepulseuk.com reports on online casinos, including those operating outside GamStop and the withdrawal speeds they advertise, for a readership in Great Britain, and limits processing to the personal data an information site genuinely needs. The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 set the rules. The duty to inform under Article 13 of the UK GDPR is met by this policy.
Who controls the data
The controller, in the sense of Article 4(7) UK GDPR, is the body operating stakepulseuk.com. Name, address and e-mail address are available at stakepulseuk.com, and every question about personal data takes that same route.
Categories of data and their sources
A server log entry is created whenever a page is opened: IP address, date and time, the address asked for, the volume of data sent, the referring page, and the browser type. Security and abuse detection are what these logs serve; at 90 days they are erased or truncated so they no longer identify anyone. A person writing to the editors supplies a name, an e-mail address and the message text, used for the reply alone. Reader accounts, deposits and stakes do not exist here, which is why payment details and identity documents are never gathered.
Legal grounds for each purpose
Keeping the site running and secure is a legitimate interest of the controller, and this grounds server logs and abuse protection (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR); replying to a message rests on the same interest. Consent, under Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR read with regulation 6 of PECR, is what permits non-essential cookies and audience measurement, and nothing runs before it arrives. Consent may be withdrawn whenever the reader wishes, and withdrawal does not undo the lawfulness of what came before (Article 7(3)). Automated decision-making and profiling are absent.
How long data is held
Nothing is kept beyond what its purpose demands: server logs no longer than 90 days, and correspondence until the matter closes plus the stretch needed to defend possible claims. A message is voluntary to send, but a reply cannot follow without one.
Recipients and transfers abroad
No data is sold. Those receiving it are processors working to the controller's instructions — hosting, content delivery and e-mail (Article 28 UK GDPR) — and public authorities where legislation obliges. Data leaves the United Kingdom only for a country covered by adequacy regulations or under appropriate safeguards, the International Data Transfer Agreement and the UK Addendum among them (Article 44 onwards).
Rights of the individual
Access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection to processing grounded on legitimate interests (Article 21) are all available. A request draws a reply without undue delay and within one month of receipt, a period extendable by two further months where necessary under Article 12(3).
Supervision and complaints
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority. A complaint may be brought there by anyone who considers that the processing of their data breaks data protection law (Article 77 UK GDPR).
