Gobstoppergrind.net (the "Site") collects two categories of data when you visit:

• Information you provide voluntarily. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and any details included in your message.
• Information collected automatically. When you load a page, our servers and analytics providers record technical data such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time on page, and approximate location derived from the IP address.

We do not request or process payment data, identity documents, or account credentials. The Site is informational and does not host gambling activity. Any deposits, KYC checks, and account data are handled by the third-party operators you choose to register with.

Data is processed for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
• To measure aggregated traffic, page performance, and user behaviour for the purpose of improving content.
• To attribute referrals to partner casino operators when you click an outbound affiliate link, so commissions can be calculated.
• To respond to questions, takedown requests, or data-subject requests sent to our contact address.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations.

The lawful bases under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are legitimate interests (analytics, affiliate attribution, security) and consent (non-essential cookies). We do not sell personal data, and we do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels) in three categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Site to function (e.g. consent state, security tokens). These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies. Used by services such as Google Analytics or Plausible to count visits and understand which pages perform best. Data is aggregated and pseudonymised.
• Affiliate cookies. Set when you click a link to a partner casino, so the operator can credit the referral. The cookie typically stores a campaign ID and a timestamp, with a lifespan of 30 to 90 days.

You can manage cookies via the consent banner shown on your first visit and at any time through your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies does not affect access to the content of the Site.

The Site contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators. When you click an outbound link and register or deposit with the operator, we may receive a commission. The commission does not affect the price, bonus, or terms you receive, and it does not influence the editorial position of our reviews.

The following categories of third parties may process limited data on our behalf or as independent controllers:

• Hosting and content-delivery providers.
• Web analytics providers (e.g. Google Analytics, Plausible).
• Affiliate networks and tracking platforms used by partner operators.
• Email and customer-contact tools used when you write to us.

Once you leave the Site by clicking an outbound link, the destination operator's own privacy policy applies. We have no control over data handled directly by those operators.

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Restrict or object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent for cookies or other consent-based processing at any time.
• Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Lodge a complaint with your national data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, or to ask a question about this policy, send a written request to the contact email published on the Site. We aim to respond within 30 days. If we need to verify your identity before acting on a request, we will ask for the minimum information required to do so.

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in law or in how the Site operates. The current version date is shown at the top of the page. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
