This privacy policy explains how 21casino-de.de – an independent information and review portal – collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit this site. 21 is the casino platform we review; we are a separate entity and this notice covers only our own data practices, not those of the operator. If you register an account with the operator itself, their own privacy policy will apply to that relationship.
Who controls your data
21casino-de.de is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide to us through this website. Our contact address is [email protected]. We determine how and why your data is processed when you interact with our content, submit a contact form, or browse our pages.
What information we collect
We gather two broad categories of data. The first is information you actively provide – your name and email address if you contact us, any message content you send through our forms, and subscription details if you opt in to updates. The second category is technical data collected automatically: your IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent on each page, referral source, and click patterns. This technical data helps us understand how visitors use the site and where improvements are needed.
Cookies play a role here too. Session cookies keep you logged in if you return to a form you started; analytics cookies (set by Google Analytics) track aggregate traffic and popular content; and advertising cookies from third-party networks may record your visit for retargeting purposes elsewhere on the web. You'll find a full breakdown in our cookie policy, including how to disable each type in your browser settings.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis
We rely on legitimate interests for most processing – running an informational website, analysing traffic to improve content, and detecting fraud or abuse. When you contact us via a form, we process your details under contract or pre-contractual measures (you're asking a question and we're providing an answer). For marketing emails, we rely on consent: you tick a box to subscribe, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any message. Where required by law – for example, retaining records to respond to a legal request – our basis is legal obligation.
Who else sees your information
We share data with a small number of third-party processors who help us run this site. Google Analytics receives anonymised usage data; our hosting provider stores the site's files and server logs; and email service providers handle any newsletters you sign up for. Advertising networks – Google Ads, for example – may place cookies to serve relevant ads on other sites you visit. We never sell your data to brokers or list providers. If we are required to disclose information by a court order or regulatory authority, we will do so to the extent legally compelled.
Some of these processors are based outside the UK. Where data leaves the UK or the European Economic Area, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place – typically Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the ICO or the European Commission.
Your rights under UK GDPR
The Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR grant you several rights over your personal information:
- Access – request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete records.
- Erasure – request deletion of your data when there is no compelling reason for us to keep it.
- Restriction – ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.
- Objection – oppose processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent – revoke any consent you previously gave, without affecting prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to locate your records. We'll respond within one month. If you're unhappy with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
Contact form submissions are retained for two years, then deleted unless there's an ongoing correspondence or legal reason to keep them longer. Analytics data is anonymised and aggregated after 26 months. Server logs – which include IP addresses – are overwritten after 90 days. If you subscribe to a mailing list and later unsubscribe, we suppress your email address (to prevent accidental re-addition) but delete all other details within 30 days of your request.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly. We recommend installing parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio on any device shared with minors.
Changes to this policy
We may update this notice from time to time – to reflect new processing activities, changes in the law, or feedback from the ICO. When we make material changes, we'll post a notice on the homepage for at least 30 days. The "last updated" date below shows when this version took effect. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
