Privacy Policy – Cowboyspin
What this notice covers
This privacy policy explains how cowboy-spin.de – the independent review portal you are reading – collects, uses and protects your personal information. We are not the casino operator; Cowboyspin runs its own platform at a separate domain, with its own privacy practices. What you read here applies only to your use of this informational site.
Our role is to publish reviews, guides and factual content about online gambling brands. The data we handle is limited to what reaches us through your browser and any contact forms you choose to fill in. We do not process registrations, deposits, withdrawals or gameplay – those activities happen on the operator's own platform, under its own terms.
Who controls your data
The data controller for cowboy-spin.de is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach us at [email protected] for any question about how your information is handled. We are based in the United Kingdom and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information we collect
We gather two kinds of data: what you actively provide, and what your device sends automatically when you visit.
Information you give us directly:
- Your email address and message content when you write to us through the contact form
- Any preferences you set through cookie-consent controls
Information collected automatically:
- Your IP address, browser type, operating system and device identifiers
- Pages you visit on this site, timestamps, referral sources and session duration
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies – see our separate Cookie Policy for the full list
We do not collect payment details, identity documents, gameplay history or account credentials – those belong to the operator's own systems, not ours.
Why we process your data
We use the information above for the following purposes:
- To respond to enquiries sent through our contact form
- To understand which pages and topics interest our readers, so we can improve the content
- To detect and prevent abuse, spam or malicious activity
- To comply with legal obligations where they arise
Our lawful basis under UK GDPR is legitimate interest for analytics and site operation, and consent for non-essential cookies. When you write to us, processing your message relies on legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry.
Third parties who see your data
We share limited information with the following categories of service provider:
- Analytics platforms – to measure traffic and understand reader behaviour (Google Analytics or similar). These services receive anonymised or pseudonymised data.
- Advertising networks – if you have consented to marketing cookies, advertisers may collect data to show you relevant offers. You can withdraw this consent through our cookie banner at any time.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers – the servers that store this site's files handle your IP address and request data as a technical necessity.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only to the extent necessary to operate this site and deliver the services you requested. Some of these providers may be located outside the UK; where that happens, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place under UK GDPR transfer rules.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding 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 where we no longer have a legitimate reason to keep it
- Restriction – limit how we process your data in certain circumstances
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection – opt out of processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdraw consent – revoke permission for cookie-based tracking at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month. If you believe we have mishandled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
How long we keep your data
Contact-form submissions are retained for two years after your last message, then deleted. Server logs and anonymised analytics data are kept for up to 26 months. Cookies expire according to the durations listed in our Cookie Policy – typically between one session and two years, depending on the type.
Where we are required by law to retain records for a longer period (for example, to respond to a legal request), we will do so only for as long as the obligation lasts.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
If you share a device with a minor, consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we operate or in legal requirements. Any material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
