Privacy Policy
How GamblingWise handles site data, contact messages, analytics information and privacy requests.
Data controller
GamblingWise acts as part of the publisher structure described on the About page. The publisher acts as data controller for personal data processed through the site, unless a third-party service acts as an independent controller under its own terms.
Privacy requests can be sent to hello@gamblingwise.org with “Privacy request” in the subject line.
Security and performance
Server logs may include IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, requested URLs and referring pages.
Responding to requests
Emails and form submissions are used to answer tips, corrections, press messages, privacy requests and commercial inquiries.
Improving the site
Aggregated analytics may help us understand which content and sections readers use most.
Legal bases and retention
| Data type | Purpose | Indicative retention |
|---|---|---|
| Server logs | Security, troubleshooting and performance. | Operational period needed by hosting/security tools. |
| Contact emails | Respond to tips, corrections, privacy and business requests. | As long as needed for the request, records or legal risk. |
| Analytics data | Aggregated content and audience measurement if enabled. | Provider-specific settings. |
Technical logs are processed for site security, reliability and legitimate operational interests. Contact messages are processed so we can respond to the request. Commercial messages may be retained for relationship management and record keeping.
Retention periods depend on the type of data. Operational logs are normally kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting. Contact messages may be retained for as long as needed to manage the request, legal risk or business relationship.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of personal data. You may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.
