Privacy policy

Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is the publisher of Trusted Play Guide, who can be contacted at [email protected].

This policy is written with reference to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Data categories

• Contact enquiries: your name, email address, subject and message, if you write to us. The contact form on this site currently checks your entries in your browser only. It does not send them to a server.
• Browser storage: your age confirmation and your cookie choices, stored in your own browser (see our cookie policy).
• Technical data: when you load pages, your device sends standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type and the page requested) to our hosting provider. Fonts, styles, scripts and images are all served from this website, so loading a page does not contact any other server.

We do not collect payment data, identity documents or gambling account details. Please do not send them to us.

Purposes of processing

• To reply to enquiries and correction requests.
• To remember your age confirmation and cookie choices.
• To deliver, secure and maintain the website.
• Only if you consent, and only once such a service is configured: to measure site use (analytics) or affiliate activity (marketing).

Cookies and storage

Non-essential scripts are blocked until you give consent. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” button in the footer. Full details are in our cookie policy.

Third parties

• Email provider: Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited), which handles messages you send to our email addresses.
• Operator websites: when you follow a link to an operator, that operator’s own privacy policy applies. Affiliate links may pass a reference that identifies this site as the source of the visit.

Fonts: the typefaces used on this site (Inter and Merriweather, under the SIL Open Font License) are stored on and served from our own website. No font provider such as Google Fonts receives your IP address or any other data when you view our pages.

We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Data held by Google Ireland Limited is covered by the UK adequacy regulations for the EEA; onward transfers to Google LLC in the United States rely on the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (the UK–US data bridge).

Lawful bases

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR): replying to enquiries you send us, and keeping the website secure and working.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR and PECR): any analytics or marketing cookies or scripts. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Strictly necessary storage (PECR): remembering your age confirmation and cookie choices.

Retention

• Contact-form messages and other enquiries: 12 months after our last response.
• Age confirmation and cookie choices: stored in your browser until you clear them. We ask again if our cookie notice changes.
• Server logs: kept according to our hosting provider’s settings.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have data erased in certain circumstances;
• restrict or object to processing;
• data portability, where it applies;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk (opens in a new tab).

Data protection contact

No Data Protection Officer has been appointed. Under UK GDPR a DPO is mandatory only in specific circumstances, such as large-scale systematic monitoring, and this site does not carry out such processing.

Privacy requests can be sent to [email protected]. This address will start working once the mailbox has been set up; until then, please use our contact form and choose “Privacy or data request”.
