Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
This policy explains how Crown & Punt ("we", "us", "our"), operator of crownandpunt.com, handles personal data when you visit our website. We process data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. Who we are
Crown & Punt is an independent comparison website that reviews and lists online casino operators licensed in the United Kingdom. We do not operate any gambling products and we never take bets or hold player funds. For any privacy question, email [email protected].
2. Data we collect
| Type | Examples | How we get it |
|---|---|---|
| Technical data | IP address, browser type, device, operating system, pages viewed, referring site | Automatically, via server logs and cookies |
| Click data | Which casino offer you clicked and when | Automatically, when you follow an outbound link |
| Contact data | Name, email address, the content of your message | Only if you email us |
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and we do not ask for payment or identity documents.
3. How we use your data and our lawful basis
- Running and securing the website — legitimate interests.
- Understanding which pages and offers are useful (analytics) — consent, where non-essential cookies are used.
- Tracking referrals to partner casinos so we can be paid commission — legitimate interests, and consent where cookies are involved.
- Answering your enquiries — legitimate interests.
- Meeting legal obligations — legal obligation.
4. Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working. Analytics and affiliate tracking cookies are only set where you have agreed to them, or are set by the casino's own website after you click through to it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; doing so won't stop you using this site.
5. Affiliate links
Many links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the casino or its affiliate network may record that you arrived from Crown & Punt. Once you are on a casino's website, its own privacy policy applies, and we have no control over how it uses your data. We recommend reading it before you register.
6. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted service providers (such as hosting, analytics and email providers) who act on our instructions, with affiliate networks to confirm referrals, and with authorities where the law requires it.
7. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens we rely on UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement.
8. How long we keep it
Server logs are kept for up to 12 months. Emails are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and then for up to 24 months. Analytics data is retained according to the provider's settings, typically no longer than 26 months.
9. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email above. We aim to respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
10. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
