Privacy & Data

This page sets out which pieces of information pass through Emirelo Gambling Blog when you read it, and which never do. The honest summary is that the list is very short. The details follow.

Pages that are simply read

Emirelo Gambling Blog is made of finished pages that are sent to your browser as they are. Nobody signs up, posts a comment, joins a mailing list or buys anything here, and no game is played on the site. With nowhere to type personal details, there is no reader database for us to guard in the first place.

What is absent

• No analytics software and nothing that tallies visits.
• No advertising code and no ad partners.
• No embedded social widgets that phone home to other firms.
• No fingerprinting, profiling, or trading of anyone's data.

Typefaces, pictures and the few scripts the pages need come from the same source as the text, so opening an article does not hand your details to outside parties.

Your cookie-banner choice

The first time you arrive, a small card offers two buttons. Whichever one you press is remembered in your browser's local storage, which is why the card stays hidden on later pages. That stored value never travels to us; it sits on your own device and records your answer and nothing more. Wiping this site's data in your browser removes it, after which the card will simply appear again. The page A Note on Cookies goes into a little more detail.

Server records at the hosting company

The site is delivered by a hosting company whose servers, like all web servers, can note routine technical facts about each request: an IP address, a timestamp, the address of the page that was fetched and a short browser description. Such records are held briefly so pages can be served reliably and attacks can be spotted and blocked. We do not use them to work out who our readers are, link them with anything else or build profiles. They are kept on the grounds of a legitimate interest: keeping this blog reachable and safe from misuse.

Emails you send us

Writing to the address listed on our contact page means we see your email address, the name you sign off with, if any, and whatever the message says. That information serves one purpose: replying to you, and correcting an article when your note points out an error. Your address never ends up on a list of any sort. Once a conversation is finished, the message is erased, except for a brief note kept when it led to a correction. There is never a reason to send us logins, card numbers or similarly sensitive material, so please leave them out.

Your rights under data protection law

Readers covered by the General Data Protection Regulation, the UK's version of it or comparable laws elsewhere can ask us to:

• tell them what personal information we have about them, if anything;
• put right anything that is inaccurate;
• erase it;
• limit its use or stop it altogether;
• hand it over in a format that can be moved elsewhere.

An email is all it takes, and you will hear back within a month. Should you be unhappy with our answer, the privacy regulator where you live can take a complaint.

Younger visitors

This blog addresses adults over 18 only; collecting information about minors is never our intention.

When this page changes

Should this blog ever start handling data differently, say through a new feature, the text here will be revised before that feature goes live.
