Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Slot Wiki ("we", "us", "our") operates the website slotwiki.com. We are an independent editorial team providing accurate, unbiased information about slot machines. Contact us at info@slotwiki.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect two categories of data:

• Information you provide voluntarily — your name and email address when you submit our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.
• Information collected automatically — your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, time on page, and referring URL, collected through cookies and analytics tools.

We do not collect payment information, government ID numbers, or special-category personal data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form.
• Send newsletter updates if you have opted in (unsubscribe at any time).
• Analyse website traffic to improve content quality and user experience.
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process your data under the following legal bases:

• Consent — for analytics cookies and newsletter communications.
• Legitimate interests — for server logs and security monitoring, where such processing does not override your rights.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose data by law.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookie preferences via our cookie banner or your browser settings. For full details, read our Cookie Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may process data on our behalf:

• Google Analytics — for anonymised website usage statistics.
• Google Fonts — for typography, which may log your IP address.
• Unsplash / Pexels — for free-licence photography served via CDNs.

These providers have their own privacy policies. We do not sell your data to any third party.

7. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months and then securely deleted. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely.

8. International Transfers

Some of our service providers are based outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@slotwiki.com. We will respond within 30 days.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will promptly delete it.

11. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is entirely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Slot Wiki after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
