Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Sister-Site.co.uk (“Sister Site”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit our website. We are an online casino comparison website based in the United Kingdom, and we process personal data in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Sister-Site.co.uk is the data controller for personal data collected through this website. If you have any questions about this policy or about how your data is handled, you can reach us through our Contact Us page.

2. The data we collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use the website, we may process:

  • Usage data — technical information collected automatically when you browse, such as your IP address, approximate location, browser type, device type, the pages you visit and how you arrived at the site.
  • Contact data — information you choose to send us, such as your name and email address, when you use our contact form or comment on the website.
  • Cookie data — small files stored on your device that support analytics and affiliate-link tracking, described in section 5 below.

We do not ask for, and you should never send us, sensitive information such as financial details or identity documents. Any gambling account you open is held directly with the operator, and the data you give them is governed by their own privacy policy.

3. How we use your data

  • To operate, secure and improve the website, including measuring which pages are most useful.
  • To respond to messages you send us through the contact form.
  • To attribute visits to operators through affiliate links, which is how the website is funded.
  • To moderate and display comments where you choose to post them.
  • To meet our legal obligations and exercise our legal rights.

We do not currently send marketing or promotional emails. If that ever changes, we would only do so with your consent, and every email would include a working unsubscribe link.

4. Our legal bases

We rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and for processing any message you choose to send us, and on our legitimate interests for running, securing and improving the website and for measuring affiliate referrals — always in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy. Where the law requires us to process data, we rely on legal obligation.

5. Cookies, analytics and affiliate tracking

Like almost every website, we use cookies and similar technologies. Analytics services (such as Google Analytics) help us understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. When you click an affiliate link to a casino, the operator or its affiliate network may set a cookie so that your visit can be attributed to us if you go on to register — this is how comparison sites like ours are funded, and it does not affect what you are offered.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and the website will continue to work with non-essential cookies disabled.

6. Who we share data with

We never sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers that help us run the website — such as our hosting provider and analytics providers — and only to the extent needed to provide their service. Some providers (for example Google) act as independent controllers of the data they process. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on safeguards recognised by UK law, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

7. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as we need it. Contact-form messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of our analytics provider and is aggregated wherever possible.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate data or complete incomplete data.
  • Ask us to delete your data (“the right to be forgotten”).
  • Restrict or object to our processing of your data.
  • Receive the data you provided to us in a portable format.
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is our legal basis.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Contact Us page. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

9. Children

This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or in the services we use. The version published on this page is always the current version, and significant changes will be highlighted here.
