Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 August 2026. This policy explains how AethosCasino (“we”, “us”) handles personal data when you visit aethoscasino.uk. We operate an independent editorial comparison website. We are not a gambling operator and we do not process betting accounts, deposits or withdrawals for casino play.

1. Who is responsible for your data

For UK GDPR purposes, the data controller for this website is AethosCasino. Privacy questions and rights requests can be sent to dataprotection@aethoscasino.uk. If you contact us about editorial content rather than privacy, you may also use info@aethoscasino.uk. We respond within a reasonable period and, where UK GDPR sets a deadline, we aim to meet it.

2. The data we may collect

Most browsing can happen with limited identifiers. Depending on how you use the site, we may process: technical logs such as IP address, browser type, device category and approximate location derived from IP; cookie and localStorage values that remember age confirmation or cookie choices; analytics events if you accept non-essential cookies; and message content if you email us. We do not ask you to create a gambling account on this website and we do not collect payment card numbers for casino deposits.

3. Why we process data (lawful bases)

We process technical data to deliver pages securely and to prevent abuse — legitimate interests in running a stable publication. We store age-gate and cookie preference signals so the site can respect your choices — legitimate interests and, where required, consent. Optional analytics run only after consent where consent is the correct basis. When you email us, we process the correspondence to respond — legitimate interests or contract-like steps at your request. We do not sell personal data.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

Essential storage keeps the site usable, including remembering that you confirmed you are 18+ and whether you accepted or declined cookies. Non-essential analytics cookies, if enabled, help us understand which articles are read and where pages fail. You can change your mind by clearing site data in your browser. Full cookie categories appear on our Cookies page. Browser settings can block cookies, though some features may then reset on each visit.

5. Age confirmation storage

Because this site discusses gambling brands, we ask visitors to confirm they are 18 or over. A simple value is stored in localStorage under a site-specific key so you are not prompted on every page load during the same browser profile. That value is not a government ID check and does not verify identity with the UK Gambling Commission. If you clear site data, the prompt returns.

6. Affiliates and outbound links

When you click a casino CTA, you leave aethoscasino.uk and enter an operator or partner environment. Those third parties have their own privacy notices and may process account data for gambling services. We do not control their forms. Tracking parameters may be attached to some links so a partner can attribute a referral. That attribution data is handled under the partner’s rules once you arrive there.

7. Recipients and processors

We may use hosting, content delivery, email and analytics providers who process limited technical data on our instructions. They are permitted to use the data only for contracted services such as keeping the site online, filtering abuse or producing aggregated traffic reports. We do not authorise them to sell your information. Where a provider is outside the UK, we look for an appropriate transfer mechanism recognised under UK data protection law.

8. Retention

Server logs are kept for a short operational window unless a security investigation needs a longer hold. Email correspondence is retained as long as needed to finish the conversation and meet record-keeping needs, then deleted or archived with access limits. Analytics datasets, if used, follow the retention settings of the analytics tool and our internal review cycle. LocalStorage preferences remain until you clear them.

9. Security measures

We use HTTPS, access controls for publishing systems, and least-privilege habits for staff tools. No website can promise perfect security. If we become aware of a breach that risks your rights, we will assess the incident and notify regulators or individuals when UK law requires it. You can help by avoiding sending unnecessary sensitive documents by email unless we specifically request them for a rights process.

10. Your UK GDPR rights

Depending on the situation, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, and data portability. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. To exercise a right, email dataprotection@aethoscasino.uk with enough detail for us to locate relevant records. We may need to confirm you control the email address used in the request. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe we mishandled your data.

11. Children

This website is intended for adults aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for marketing or account creation. If you believe a minor has provided personal data through our contact channels, tell us and we will delete it where appropriate.

12. Automated decisions

We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you on this editorial site. Rankings of casinos are editorial judgements about operators, not decisions about an individual reader’s creditworthiness or gambling eligibility.

13. International readers

Content is written for a UK audience and refers to UKGC, GAMSTOP, GamCare and BeGambleAware. If you visit from elsewhere, local laws may differ and operator availability may not match your country. Privacy rights described here follow UK GDPR for our UK-facing publication.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this notice when our stack, vendors or legal duties change. The “Last updated” date at the top will move when we publish a revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page; continued use after an update means you should re-read the notice if you care about the details of processing.
