Privacy Policy – Katanaspin
Scope of this privacy notice
This privacy notice explains how Katanaspin uk-katanaspin.uk ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit and use this independent review portal. We are not the operator of the platform being reviewed – we run an informational site about it. What follows applies to data processed by this portal only, not to information you submit directly to the operator once you register or deposit with them.
uk-katanaspin.uk is the data controller for any personal data collected through this site. By using uk-katanaspin.uk, you agree to the practices described here. This notice is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Categories of information we collect
We collect two broad types of data: information you actively provide, and information we observe automatically as you browse.
Information you provide: If you use our contact form or email us at [email protected], we collect your email address, name (if given), and the content of your message. We collect this only when you choose to reach out.
Information we observe: Like most websites, we automatically log technical data when you visit – your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the site that referred you here. We also use cookies and similar technologies to recognise your device on return visits and to understand how the site is used. Read our Cookie Policy for detail on what is stored and how to manage it.
Lawful basis and purposes of processing
We process your data under the following lawful bases:
- Legitimate interests – to operate, maintain and improve this portal; to understand which content is useful; to detect and prevent misuse. Our legitimate interest is running an informative, well-functioning review site, balanced against your reasonable expectations of privacy.
- Consent – where we use analytics or advertising cookies beyond what is strictly necessary, we ask for your consent through a cookie banner. You can withdraw that consent at any time through your browser settings.
- Legal obligation – in rare cases we may need to retain or disclose data to comply with UK law, a court order, or a regulatory request.
We use your data to respond to enquiries sent via email or the contact form, to analyse site traffic in aggregate (never identifying individuals), to improve navigation and content, and to serve contextual advertising where you have consented.
Sharing your data with third parties
We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We do share limited information with the following categories of third party, under contract and only as needed to run the site:
| Category | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting provider | Stores the site and serves pages to visitors | Server logs, IP addresses |
| Analytics service | Tracks visitor behaviour in aggregate (consent-based) | Anonymised browsing data, cookies |
| Advertising partners | Deliver contextual ads (consent-based) | Cookie identifiers, browsing history on our site |
| Email service provider | Delivers replies to contact-form enquiries | Your email address and message content |
Each processor is contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. Some of these providers may be based outside the UK; where that is the case, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place (standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions) to protect your rights.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure – request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful basis to keep it.
- Right to restriction – ask us to limit processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Right to data portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object – object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Right to withdraw consent – where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of past processing.
How to exercise your rights
To make a request, email us at [email protected] with "Data Subject Request" in the subject line. We will respond within one month of receiving a valid request. We may ask for proof of identity to prevent unauthorised disclosure.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above:
- Contact-form enquiries and email correspondence – retained for up to two years after the last message, then deleted.
- Server logs and technical data – typically retained for 90 days, then anonymised or discarded.
- Cookie data – varies by type; session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may last up to two years. You can delete them at any time through your browser.
Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise the data so it can no longer identify you.
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 immediately at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Devices shared with minors should use parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to prevent access to gambling-related content.
Security measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. This includes encrypted transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no online system is completely secure – while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this privacy notice
We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we make material changes, we will update the date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a site banner. Check this page periodically to stay informed.
