Privacy Policy – Greatslots and flowmeterdirectory.co.uk
Start playingHow this notice works
This privacy policy explains how Greatslots information published on flowmeterdirectory.co.uk is handled, what data reaches us when you use this site, and what rights you hold under UK data-protection law. This policy concerns flowmeterdirectory.co.uk only — an independent review portal — and not the operator that runs the platform we write about. If you register an account with the operator or deposit money there, that company's own privacy policy applies to the personal information you provide on its platform.
We take a straightforward approach: collect what is genuinely needed, keep it for as long as the law or the purpose requires, and give you real control over it. You are aged 18+ to view this content.
Who controls your data
The data controller for flowmeterdirectory.co.uk is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach us at [email protected]. We determine what personal information is collected through this site and how it is used. Any question about your data, any request to exercise your rights, or any concern about how we handle information should come to that address.
What information reaches us
We collect two broad categories: data you actively provide, and data your device sends automatically when you visit.
Information you give us directly:
- Your email address and the content of any message you send via our contact form or to our support inbox.
- Any other detail you choose to include in correspondence — your name if you sign a message, for instance, though we do not require it.
Information collected automatically:
- Technical data your browser transmits with every page request: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each, and the timestamp of your visit.
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies, described in detail on our cookie policy page. In short: we use necessary cookies to keep the site working and analytics cookies (with your consent) to understand how people use it.
We do not ask for payment details, identity documents, or account credentials — flowmeterdirectory.co.uk is an information site, not a transactional platform.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis for doing so
Every piece of personal information we handle serves a defined purpose, and UK data-protection law requires us to rely on a lawful basis for each one.
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to enquiries sent via email or contact form | Legitimate interests (providing the service you requested) |
| Analysing site traffic and user behaviour to improve content | Consent (analytics cookies) and legitimate interests |
| Delivering advertising and measuring campaign performance | Consent (marketing cookies) |
| Operating the website and preventing misuse | Legitimate interests (security, stability, fraud prevention) |
| Complying with legal obligations | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we balance our need against your rights — and you can object at any time by writing to us.
Who else sees your information
We share personal data only where necessary to run this site or where the law requires it. We do not sell your information to third parties, ever.
Service providers we work with:
- Web hosting: our hosting provider stores the site's files and logs, including server access records that contain IP addresses and request metadata.
- Analytics platforms: if you consent to analytics cookies, aggregated and pseudonymised usage data is sent to third-party analytics services so we can see which pages are read and where visitors arrive from. These platforms process data under their own terms, typically as data processors on our behalf.
- Advertising networks: if you consent to marketing cookies, advertisers and their partners may collect data about your visit to show you relevant ads elsewhere on the web. Each network operates under its own privacy policy.
Some of these processors are based outside the United Kingdom. Where a transfer happens, we rely on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other safeguards recognised under UK GDPR to protect your information in transit and at rest.
We may also disclose personal data where required by law — to comply with a court order, respond to a legal process, or cooperate with law enforcement within the bounds of our legal obligations.
Your rights under UK data-protection law
The UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you several enforceable rights over your personal information. Here is what you can do, in plain terms:
Right of access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with details of how we use it and who we share it with.
Right to rectification: ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to keep it — for example, when it is no longer needed for the purpose we collected it, or when you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies.
Right to restriction of processing: ask us to stop using your data (but not delete it) in certain circumstances — while we verify its accuracy, for instance, or where you have objected to processing and we are considering whether our interests override yours.
Right to data portability: where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and ask us to transmit it directly to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: where we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests or for direct marketing, you can object at any time. We must stop unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to withdraw consent: where processing relies on your consent (analytics or advertising cookies, for example), you can withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that happened before you withdrew.
How to exercise your rights
Send any request to [email protected], stating clearly which right you wish to exercise and providing enough detail for us to locate your information. We aim to respond within one month of receiving a valid request; where the request is complex or we receive several at once, we may extend that period by up to two further months and will tell you why.
There is no fee for exercising your rights unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable administrative cost or refuse to act.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request or how we process your data generally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent supervisory authority for data protection. You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk, by phone on 0303 123 1113, or by post at Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, or to comply with legal, regulatory, tax or accounting obligations.
Contact-form submissions and support emails are kept for up to two years after the last message in the thread, then deleted unless ongoing correspondence or a legal obligation requires longer retention. Server logs containing IP addresses and technical request data are typically retained for 90 days, then overwritten. Analytics data is aggregated and pseudonymised; identifiable elements are deleted or anonymised within the retention period set by the analytics platform, usually 14–26 months.
Once the retention period expires and no legal basis for keeping the data remains, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Protection of minors
This site concerns gambling products and is restricted to persons aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Good to know: gambling content on a shared device can reach younger users unless you take steps to prevent it. Parental-control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or the controls built into iOS and Android can block access to sites like this one by category.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the date at the end of this document and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the site.
Check back occasionally to stay informed. Your continued use of flowmeterdirectory.co.uk after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Contact and questions
Any question about this policy, any request to exercise your data-protection rights, or any concern about how your information is handled should go to [email protected]. We will respond as quickly as we can — usually within 48 hours for straightforward enquiries, and within the statutory one-month period for formal data-subject requests.
