1. Who We Are
BounceRadio.net is an informational website that provides reviews and comparisons of non-GamStop online casinos for UK players. We do not operate any gambling services, accept bets, or process financial transactions. For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at [email protected].
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal personal information through the following channels:
2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect financial information, gambling activity data, payment details, or any information related to your gambling accounts. When you click on an affiliate link and are directed to a third-party casino website, any information you provide to that casino is governed by their own privacy policy, not ours.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.

5. Cookies
BounceRadio.net uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use our website.
5.1 Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They include cookies that remember your cookie preferences and maintain security.
5.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymous data about website usage. These cookies help us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate the site, and where improvements are needed. Analytics data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
5.3 Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link on our website, the destination casino may place a cookie on your device to track that you were referred by BounceRadio.net. This is how we earn commission if you register. These cookies are placed by the third-party casino, not by us, and are governed by their respective privacy policies.
5.4 Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For more information about managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.
6. Affiliate Links and Third Parties
BounceRadio.net contains affiliate links to third-party casino websites. When you click these links, you leave our website and enter a site operated by an independent company. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or security of these third-party websites.
We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information. BounceRadio.net is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites.
Our affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly on every page of our website. Clicking an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra — any commission we earn is paid by the casino, not by you.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:
- Contact form data: Retained for up to 12 months after your enquiry is resolved, then deleted.
- Newsletter subscriptions: Retained until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every newsletter email.
- Analytics data: Anonymised data is retained for up to 26 months for trend analysis.
- Server logs: IP address logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security purposes.

- Right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal obligations).

9. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) to protect data in transit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children's Privacy
BounceRadio.net is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a person under 18, we will delete it immediately.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements, including standard contractual clauses or transfers to countries with adequate data protection standards.
