stakevistauk.com reports on payout speed and on online casinos outside GamStop for readers in Great Britain, and no personal data beyond what an information site needs to operate is processed. The UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 are the rules that govern this. Article 13 of the UK GDPR imposes a duty to inform, and this policy discharges it.
Controller
Article 4(7) UK GDPR defines the controller, and that role is held by the body running stakevistauk.com. Its name, address and e-mail address are available at stakevistauk.com, and every question about personal data goes through the same channel.
What is processed
A log entry is recorded by the server on every page opened: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data sent, the referring page and the browser type. Security and the detection of abuse are what the logs serve, and after 90 days they are deleted or shortened so that no person can be identified through them. A name, an e-mail address and the text of the message are what a reader writing to the editors provides, and they are used only for answering. No reader accounts exist, no deposits and no stakes, so neither payment details nor identity documents are collected.
Lawful bases and purposes
The controller's legitimate interests in keeping the site working and secure (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR) are the basis for server logs and for protection against abuse. The same interest covers the answering of a message. For cookies other than the strictly necessary ones, and for audience measurement, consent is the basis (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR together with regulation 6 of PECR), and they operate only after it is given; withdrawal is possible at any time and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out earlier (Article 7(3)). Profiling there is none, and no decision is taken automatically.
Recipients and transfers outside the UK
No sale of data takes place. Processors acting on the controller's instructions who supply hosting, content delivery and e-mail (Article 28 UK GDPR) are the recipients, together with public authorities where the law demands it. A country covered by adequacy regulations, or appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum, are the only conditions under which data leaves the United Kingdom (Article 44 onwards).
Rights
Access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Article 21) belong to every person. Without undue delay, and within one month of receipt, a request is answered; where necessary Article 12(3) allows that period to be extended by a further two months.
Retention
No longer than its purpose requires is data held: server logs for a maximum of 90 days, correspondence until the matter is closed and for the period needed to defend against possible claims. Data given in a message is voluntary, yet without it no reply is possible.
Supervision and complaints
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the supervisory authority. Where processing of data is believed to breach data protection law, the right to complain to it is held by the person concerned (Article 77 UK GDPR).
