Privacy Policy - Gala Casino Guide 2026

We keep data collection to a minimum. When you browse our guide, we automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, device type, browser, approximate location and the pages you view. If you contact us or sign up for updates, we also collect your name, email address and the content of your message. We do not ask for payment card details or gambling account credentials, and we will never ask for your Gala Casino login information. If you ever receive a request claiming to come from us that asks for those details, please ignore it.

We use your data to run and improve our guide, respond to enquiries, send updates you have asked for and keep our site secure. Where UK GDPR requires a legal basis, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating a useful editorial resource, your consent where you have given it (for example, for optional cookies or newsletters), and legal obligation where the law requires us to keep certain records. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that significantly affect you.

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, understand how readers use it and measure the performance of our content. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function properly without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional and are only set if you agree. You can change your choices at any time through the cookie settings, or by adjusting your browser controls. Our cookie page lists each category in full, including purpose and duration.

We work with a small number of trusted providers, including analytics tools that show us how the guide is used and affiliate tracking partners that tell us when a reader has arrived at an operator through our content. These providers process data on our behalf or under their own privacy terms, and they only receive what they need to do their job. If we transfer information outside the UK, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place. Once you leave our guide for another site, that site's own privacy notice applies.

Under UK GDPR you can ask to access your personal data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, and receive a portable copy. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. We keep personal data only for as long as we need it: enquiry messages for up to 24 months, analytics data in aggregated or anonymised form, and newsletter details until you unsubscribe. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights, or simply have a question about this notice, please use the contact form on our site and mark your message as a privacy request. We will confirm receipt promptly and aim to respond within one month. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, which helps keep your information safe. If you gamble, please do so responsibly: set limits that suit you, take regular breaks and seek support from a free helpline if gambling stops being fun. We update this notice from time to time, and the latest version is always the one published on this page.
