What this privacy notice covers
This privacy policy explains how Katanaspin is reviewed on childrenandfamiliestrust.co.uk, an independent information portal, and how we handle any personal data you share with us when using this site. This notice applies to childrenandfamiliestrust.co.uk only – it does not cover what the operator collects once you register an account or deposit with them on their own platform. That relationship is governed by the operator's own privacy terms, published separately on the casino's domain.
Who controls your data on this portal
The data controller for childrenandfamiliestrust.co.uk is the entity operating this review site. For questions about how we process your information, write to [email protected]. We are based in the UK and process data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What personal information we collect
We collect two broad categories of data when you visit this site:
Information you provide directly: If you contact us via email at [email protected], we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any attachments you choose to send. We do not run account registration or payment processing on this portal – those functions belong to the operator, not to us.
Technical data collected automatically: Like most websites, we gather standard browser and device information through cookies and server logs. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time spent on each page, referral source, and general location inferred from your IP (country or region level, not precise geolocation). We use analytics tools to understand how visitors navigate the site and which content is most useful.
Lawful basis for processing
We process your personal data under the following legal grounds:
- Consent – when you agree to analytics cookies through our cookie banner.
- Legitimate interests – operating an informational website, answering enquiries, improving content, and detecting fraud or abuse. We balance these interests against your right to privacy and never process data in ways you would not reasonably expect.
- Legal obligation – complying with UK law where required, such as responding to valid requests from authorities.
How we use your data
We use the information collected to:
- Respond to questions or feedback sent to [email protected].
- Understand which pages and topics attract the most interest, so we can focus our editorial effort where it matters.
- Detect and prevent misuse, spam, or attempts to manipulate traffic or rankings.
- Maintain the technical security and performance of the site.
We do not use your data to build marketing profiles, serve personalised advertising (beyond generic ad placements), or make automated decisions that significantly affect you.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use necessary cookies to keep the site functioning, and optional cookies for analytics and advertising. You control these choices through the cookie banner when you first visit, and you can change your mind at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Read our separate Cookie Policy for the full breakdown of what is set and why.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we do share limited data with service providers who help us run this site:
- Analytics providers – such as Google Analytics, to measure traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. These tools process anonymised or pseudonymised data under their own privacy terms.
- Advertising networks – if you have consented to advertising cookies, networks may collect data to serve relevant ads. You can withdraw consent or use an ad blocker.
- Hosting and infrastructure – our web host processes server logs and IP addresses as part of delivering the site to your browser.
All third parties are required to protect your data and use it only for the purpose we specify. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK or the European Economic Area unless the recipient country provides an adequate level of protection, or we have put in place appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
| Rectification | Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. |
| Erasure | Request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful reason to keep it. |
| Restriction | Limit how we process your data while a dispute is resolved. |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format, or ask us to transfer it to another controller. |
| Object | Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing. |
| Withdraw consent | Revoke consent for cookies or other processing at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. |
How to exercise your rights
To make a request, email [email protected] with "Data Subject Request" in the subject line. Include enough detail for us to identify you and understand what you are asking for. We will respond within one month, though complex requests may take up to three months – we will let you know if an extension is needed. There is no charge for most requests, but we may apply a reasonable fee if a request is clearly unfounded or excessive.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk or call their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law. Email correspondence is typically kept for two years, then deleted unless there is an ongoing reason to retain it (such as an unresolved enquiry or a legal obligation). Analytics data is anonymised or aggregated after a retention period set by the analytics provider – usually 26 months for Google Analytics.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly. The operator reviewed on this portal enforces its own age verification at account registration – that process is separate from our editorial site.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This includes encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure – you share information at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we make significant changes, we will update the date at the bottom of this page. Continued use of childrenandfamiliestrust.co.uk after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Contact us
Questions, concerns, or requests about this privacy policy should be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours during business days.
