Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Non GamStop Guide UK (hidebound.co.uk) handles when you read our pages, why it is handled, and what control you keep over it. It is written with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 in mind.
What we collect, and what we don't
Reading the site requires no account, no sign-up and no payment details. The information that passes through our systems is limited to:
- Technical data: browser type, device, approximate region and pages viewed. These are logged by our hosting and analytics tools.
- Messages you choose to send: if you contact us, we keep your email address and message only for as long as needed to reply.
We never ask for gambling history, bank information or identity documents. If a casino requests these, that request falls under the casino's own policy, not this one.
Cookies
Cookies help us count visits and see which guides are useful. Some outbound links carry tracking parameters so an operator can recognise a referral from this site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the content will still load normally.
Third-party links
Many pages link to offshore operators that are not part of GamStop. Once you leave hidebound.co.uk, the operator's terms and data practices apply. Check their privacy policy and licensing details before registering or depositing.
Why we process data
Our lawful basis is legitimate interest: keeping the site secure, understanding readership and maintaining affiliate relationships that fund the site. We do not sell personal data.
Your rights
You may ask to access, correct or erase any personal data we hold, or object to its use. Requests can be made through our contact page. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Updates
This policy is revised when our tools or legal obligations change. The current version always replaces earlier ones.
