1. Who We Are
GoldNexis is an editorial and comparison website focused on licensed UK-facing online casinos. We are not a gambling operator and we do not process gambling transactions, hold betting balances, or run player accounts. This policy applies to personal data processed through goldnexis.com, including information submitted through contact requests and technical data collected when pages are accessed. If you register with a casino through a link on our site, that operator processes your registration data under its own privacy notice and account terms.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep data, and what rights you have under applicable UK data protection law. It also describes how we handle data security, international transfer safeguards, and how to contact us if you have concerns. The policy applies to all pages on goldnexis.com, including legal pages, content sections, and support references.
3. Data We Collect
We collect limited categories of data. First, we may collect technical usage data such as IP address fragments, browser type, device type, language setting, page request times, and interaction events used for diagnostics. Second, we may process preference data stored in your browser, including age verification status and cookie selection status. Third, if you contact us by email, we process the information included in that message such as your email address, subject line, and the details you choose to provide.
We do not intentionally request special category data through this website. Please avoid sending sensitive personal details unless strictly necessary for your request. We also do not knowingly collect data from children, as this site is intended for adults aged 18 and over.
4. Why We Process Data
We process data to run, protect, and improve the website. Practical examples include making sure pages load correctly, preventing repeated age prompts for verified adults, remembering cookie preferences, investigating technical errors, and responding to direct enquiries. We also use aggregated usage information to understand which content requires clearer explanations, which links fail, and which pages need maintenance.
When readers report inaccuracies, we may use contact details to follow up and verify correction requests. Data may also be processed to meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and maintain records necessary for compliance audits and internal accountability.
5. Legal Bases
Depending on context, we rely on one or more legal bases: consent for optional storage choices where required; legitimate interests for maintaining site reliability, fraud prevention, and editorial quality control; and legal obligation where processing is required by law. When we rely on legitimate interests, we assess impact on visitor rights and keep collection proportionate to the purpose. We avoid excessive retention and avoid collecting data that is not required for stated use.
6. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies
GoldNexis uses cookies and local storage keys for core functionality and preference management. The key values currently include `goldnexis_age` and `goldnexis_cookies`, which help maintain age-gate and consent behaviour. Additional technical values may be introduced for diagnostics when needed. Detailed information about storage categories and controls appears in our Cookie Policy.
You can manage cookie controls through browser settings, clear local storage at any time, and revisit consent by removing stored values for our domain. Blocking all storage may affect convenience features and prompt behaviour, but core legal content remains accessible.
7. Affiliate Tracking and Outbound Links
Some links on GoldNexis are affiliate links. If you click those links, partner networks or operators may process tracking data according to their own notices. Our own site records only limited interaction context needed for performance and reporting. We do not receive full registration records from operators and we do not control third-party tracking once you leave our domain. We recommend reviewing each partner privacy notice before creating an account.
8. Data Sharing
We may share limited data with service providers that support hosting, security monitoring, analytics, and operational email delivery. These providers are engaged under contractual controls and are expected to process data only for agreed purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or competent regulatory request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or system integrity.
We do not sell personal data. We do not grant unrelated third parties unrestricted access to raw visitor data. Any sharing is purpose-bound and reviewed against this policy.
9. International Transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where transfers occur, we apply appropriate safeguards, such as contractual commitments and security controls designed to protect data in line with applicable standards. Transfer arrangements are reviewed periodically and adjusted when legal frameworks evolve.
10. Data Retention
Retention periods depend on data type and purpose. Technical logs are usually retained for a limited operational period unless required longer for security investigations. Contact emails are retained for as long as needed to resolve your request and maintain an internal record of correspondence. Preference values in local storage remain until you clear browser data or choose a different option.
When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it according to internal housekeeping rules. We review retention practices on a recurring schedule.
11. Security Measures
We use layered technical and organisational controls to reduce risk of unauthorised access, alteration, or loss. Measures include access control, environment separation, least-privilege handling of operational systems, and routine maintenance. No online service can promise absolute security, but we work to reduce exposure and respond quickly to incidents.
If a security event occurs that is likely to create risk to individuals, we follow legal reporting and notification duties where applicable.
12. Your Rights
Depending on applicable law and circumstances, you may request access to personal data we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, object to certain processing, or request restriction of use. You may also request data portability where relevant. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent without affecting prior lawful processing.
To submit a request, contact us using the email listed below. We may need to verify identity before actioning a request to protect data security and avoid unauthorised disclosure.
13. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, contact us first so we can investigate and respond. You also have the right to raise concerns with the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK. We aim to resolve issues quickly and transparently through direct communication whenever possible.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when operational practices, legal requirements, or platform features change. The latest version is published on this page with the effective date shown near the top. Material updates will be reflected clearly in the text.
