Privacy Policy – Fat Pirate Casino
How this site handles your personal information
This privacy notice explains how fatpirate-online.co.uk (referred to as "we", "us" or "our" throughout this document) collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit our independent review portal about Fat Pirate Casino. We take your privacy seriously and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Important distinction: fatpirate-online.co.uk is an information and review site about Fat Pirate, not the casino operator itself. This policy covers only what we collect through your use of our portal. If you register an account with Fat Pirate Casino directly on the operator's own platform, their separate privacy policy governs that relationship – we have no access to player accounts, deposits, withdrawals or gameplay data held by the operator.
This notice was last updated on 6 January 2026. We may revise it from time to time; any changes will appear on this page with a new date. If you have concerns or questions, contact us at [email protected].
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller for personal information collected through fatpirate-online.co.uk is the editorial team operating this portal. You can reach us at [email protected] for any matter relating to your data rights or how we handle your information.
The analytics question
We collect two main categories of information: technical data gathered automatically when you browse the site, and data you choose to provide when you contact us.
Automatically collected data includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages you visit, time spent on each page, referring site (if you arrived via a link from another domain), and device identifiers where applicable. This data is captured through cookies, server logs and analytics tools such as Google Analytics. We use it to understand how visitors navigate the portal, which content is most useful, and where technical improvements are needed. None of this identifies you by name unless you separately provide contact details.
Data you provide directly comes into play when you email us through the address given on our contact page. This typically includes your name, email address, and whatever details you choose to share in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your query or feedback – nothing more.
Scripts we do not control
Our site uses Google Analytics to measure traffic and user behaviour. Google processes your data according to its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com. When you visit fatpirate-online.co.uk, Google may set cookies on your device and collect information about your browsing session. We have configured Analytics to anonymise IP addresses where possible, but you should review Google's practices if you have concerns about third-party tracking.
We may also display embedded content from third-party platforms – videos, social media widgets, or advertising scripts – and those services can set their own cookies or collect data when their content loads on our page. We do not control what they gather or how they use it. Each provider's privacy terms apply to their own tracking.
Lawful basis and purposes
We process your personal data under the following legal grounds:
- Legitimate interests – operating an informational portal, analysing site performance, improving content and user experience. Our interest in running a useful, well-functioning review site is balanced against any impact on your privacy, and we minimise data collection to what is genuinely needed.
- Consent – where you choose to accept optional cookies (such as marketing or preference cookies) via our consent banner, or where you voluntarily provide your contact details to reach our editorial team.
- Legal obligation – retaining certain records where required by law, though this rarely applies to an information site of this kind.
Sharing your information
We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. The operator of Fat Pirate Casino has no access to the data we collect unless you separately contact them or register on their platform.
We do share information with a small number of processors who help us run the site:
- Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) receive usage data to generate traffic reports.
- Hosting and infrastructure services store the site's files and serve pages to your browser – they have access to server logs as part of that technical function.
- Email providers handle messages you send to [email protected], storing them long enough for us to respond.
These processors are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the specific service they provide to us. Some of them operate outside the UK; where data is transferred internationally, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR.
We may disclose personal information if required by law, court order, or a regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our site, our users, or others.
Your controls 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 use your data while a dispute is resolved or a correction is made. |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format (applies to data provided by consent or contract). |
| Object | Oppose processing based on legitimate interests, or opt out of direct marketing. |
| Withdraw consent | Revoke permission for any processing that relies on your consent, without affecting earlier lawful use. |
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with enough detail for us to locate your information. We'll respond within one month, or explain why a request cannot be met. There is no fee unless your request is clearly unfounded or excessive.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, 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 0303 123 1113 for guidance on making a complaint.
Retention – how long we keep your data
We hold personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months (Google Analytics' default), then automatically deleted. Contact-form submissions and email correspondence are kept for up to two years to handle follow-up queries, then removed unless there's a legal reason to preserve them. Server logs are generally overwritten within 90 days.
If you ask us to delete your information, we'll do so promptly unless we're required by law to retain it, or it's needed to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Protection of minors
Our portal is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it without delay. The casino operator reviewed on this site also restricts access to players aged 18+, but any account opened with Fat Pirate directly is governed by the operator's own age-verification and data policies.
Changes to this privacy notice
We may update this notice occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we do, the revised version will appear on this page with a new "last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be highlighted in a prominent notice on the site for a reasonable period. Continuing to use fatpirate-online.co.uk after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Get in touch
For any questions about this privacy notice, how we handle your personal data, or to exercise your rights, email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours on business days.
