Effective date: 3 June 2026. Last updated: 3 June 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how e-casinosonline.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit our website or contact us. We are committed to handling personal data transparently and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the Data Protection Act 2018 (Ireland), and other applicable privacy laws.
1. Who we are
e-casinosonline.com publishes independent casino information, operator comparisons, and educational guides primarily for Irish and other English-speaking audiences. We are the data controller for personal data processed through this Site. For privacy-related enquiries, contact info@e-casinosonline.com.
We are not a gambling operator. When you follow links to third-party casino or betting websites, those operators become separate controllers of any personal data you provide during registration, verification, or play. Their privacy policies govern that processing.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to information collected through e-casinosonline.com and related subpages such as our Terms, Cookie Policy, and Responsible Gaming content. It does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services linked from our Site. We encourage you to read the privacy notices of every external service you use.
3. Information we collect
Information you provide directly. If you email us, we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any attachments or identifiers you choose to include. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and maintain a record of correspondence where necessary.
Technical and usage data collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting infrastructure may log standard server data including IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, and error diagnostics. This data helps us maintain security, troubleshoot outages, and understand aggregate traffic patterns.
Cookie and local storage data. We use essential browser storage to remember age-verification status for your session and your cookie-consent choice. Details are set out in our Cookie Policy. We do not use invasive cross-site tracking cookies on the core informational pages unless explicitly disclosed and consented to where required.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe a minor has contacted us, please notify us promptly so we can delete the information.
4. Purposes and legal bases for processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under GDPR:
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): operating and securing the Site, analysing aggregated usage, preventing fraud or abuse, improving content relevance, and responding to non-contractual enquiries, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): where you accept non-essential cookies or similar technologies when offered through our consent banner.
- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): where we must retain or disclose information to comply with applicable law, regulatory requests, or enforceable court orders.
- Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)): where processing is required to respond to a specific request you make that forms part of a pre-contractual or contractual relationship, such as a detailed partnership enquiry.
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
5. How we use your information
We use collected information to: deliver and maintain the Site; verify that age-restriction controls function correctly; remember cookie preferences; detect malicious traffic and security incidents; compile anonymised or aggregated statistics about page popularity; respond to emails and support requests; enforce our Terms of Service; and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. Sharing and recipients
We may share limited data with trusted service providers who process information on our behalf under written agreements requiring appropriate security and confidentiality. Typical categories include website hosting, content delivery, email delivery, and security monitoring. These processors may be located within the European Economic Area or in countries deemed adequate by the European Commission, or otherwise subject to appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
We may disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale subject to continued protection of personal data. Public authorities may request access in accordance with applicable procedures.
Affiliate and operator links on the Site are not an automatic transfer of your personal data to those operators until you choose to visit their domains and interact with their services.
7. International transfers
Because the internet is global, data may be processed in countries other than your own. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA to jurisdictions without an adequacy decision, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by GDPR Chapter V, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or equivalent mechanisms.
8. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Server logs are typically retained for a limited rolling period sufficient for security analysis unless a longer period is required to investigate an incident. Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable archive period thereafter, unless you request earlier deletion and no legal obligation requires retention. Cookie-consent records may be stored locally in your browser until you clear them.
9. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and provider-level security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
10. Your rights under GDPR
Depending on your location and circumstances, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Access: request confirmation of whether we process your data and obtain a copy.
- Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: request deletion where processing is no longer necessary or consent is withdrawn, subject to legal exceptions.
- Restriction: request that we limit processing in certain circumstances.
- Portability: receive data you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing where applicable.
- Withdraw consent: where processing relies on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
To exercise these rights, email info@e-casinosonline.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We aim to reply within one month, extendable by two further months for complex requests as permitted by GDPR.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (Ireland) at dataprotection.ie or with your local supervisory authority if you reside elsewhere in the EEA or UK.
11. Marketing communications
We do not send unsolicited marketing emails to casual Site visitors. If you subscribe to any future newsletter or alert service we offer, we will provide a clear opt-in mechanism and an easy unsubscribe option in every message. You may withdraw consent to marketing at any time.
12. Third-party links
Our Site contains links to external operator and responsible-gambling resources. Those websites have their own privacy policies and may collect data independently. We are not responsible for their practices and encourage you to review their notices before submitting personal information.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The effective date at the top will be revised accordingly. Material changes may be highlighted on the Site. Continued use after an update constitutes acknowledgement of the revised Policy.
