Privacy Notice

About This Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how Cazeus ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and shares information about you when you visit or interact with this website. It is written in plain English and follows the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are committed to handling your personal data fairly and transparently. We do not collect more information than we need, we do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we take the security of any data we do hold seriously. This notice tells you exactly what we do and why, and explains the rights you have over your information.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Notice. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please do not use the site. If you have questions about anything in this notice before deciding whether to continue, please contact us - we are happy to explain anything that is not clear.

Last updated: January 2026.

What Data We Collect and Why

We collect two broad categories of information: data you actively provide to us, and data that is collected automatically when you browse the site.

Data you provide directly

If you use our contact form or send us an email, we collect the information you include in that message. This typically means your name (if you provide it), your email address and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add your email address to a marketing list without your explicit consent, and we do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

We do not currently operate a newsletter, a user registration system or any other mechanism that involves collecting personal data on an ongoing basis beyond direct correspondence.

Data collected automatically

When you visit this website, certain technical information is collected automatically by our servers and third-party analytics tools. This includes:

• IP address: Your device's internet address, which gives an approximate indication of geographic location. We use this for security monitoring and to understand the geographic distribution of our audience at an aggregate level. We do not use IP addresses to identify individuals.
• Browser and device information: The type of browser you are using (for example, Chrome, Firefox or Safari), your operating system, screen resolution and device type (desktop, tablet or mobile). We use this to ensure the website displays correctly across different devices.
• Pages visited and navigation paths: Which pages on the site you visit, in what order, and how long you spend on each. We use this to understand which content is most useful to readers and to identify areas of the site that may need improvement.
• Referral source: How you arrived at the site - for example, whether you came via a search engine, a direct link or a social media post. This helps us understand how people discover Cazeus.
• Outbound link clicks: When you click a link from Cazeus to a casino or other external site, we may record that click. This is how we attribute referrals for affiliate commission purposes and how we understand which recommendations our readers find most relevant.

All of the automatically collected data described above is used in aggregate form for analytical and operational purposes. We do not build individual user profiles and we do not attempt to identify anonymous visitors by name.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we are required to identify a lawful basis for each category of personal data processing. The bases we rely on are as follows:

• Legitimate interests: We process automatically collected technical and behavioural data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a functional, secure and commercially viable website. We have assessed that these interests do not override the fundamental rights and privacy interests of site visitors, given the aggregate nature of this processing and the absence of individual profiling.
• Contract performance: When you contact us with a specific enquiry, we process the information you provide in order to respond - which is necessary to fulfil our commitment to you as a reader or correspondent.
• Consent: Where we use cookies or tracking technologies that go beyond what is strictly necessary for the site to function, we rely on your consent. You can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings or through any cookie preference tool we make available.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They serve various functions, from keeping the site working correctly to helping us understand how visitors engage with our content.

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They manage session state, enable navigation and ensure that the site loads correctly. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without affecting the site's basic functionality.
• Analytics cookies: We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate site usage. These cookies collect anonymised data about page visits, session duration and navigation paths. The data is processed in aggregate form and is not used to identify individuals. You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click a link to a casino from Cazeus, a tracking cookie may be placed on your device to attribute that referral to us for commission purposes. This cookie is set by our affiliate network or the casino operator, not by Cazeus directly, and it does not collect personal information beyond what is necessary to record the referral.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies from specific sites. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, by operating this website, we do work with certain third-party services that may process some of the technical data described above.

These include:

• Analytics providers: We use analytics software to understand how the site is used. These providers process anonymised data in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you are concerned about analytics data collection, you can use your browser's opt-out options or install a browser extension that blocks analytics tracking.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: The website is hosted on commercial server infrastructure. Our hosting provider may process technical data - including IP addresses - as part of normal server operation. This provider is contractually bound to process this data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
• Affiliate networks: When you click through to a casino partner from Cazeus, the casino operator or affiliate network may place their own cookies and process data about your visit independently of us. That processing is governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before registering with any casino.
• Email and communication tools: If you contact us, your message is processed through our email infrastructure. We use reputable providers for email, and data in transit is encrypted.

We may share information with law enforcement or regulatory authorities if required to do so by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Cazeus, our readers or the public.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.

• Contact form submissions and email correspondence are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are deleted. We retain them for this period in case a follow-up is needed and to maintain a record of editorial decisions that were informed by reader feedback.
• Automatically collected technical and behavioural data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely, as it forms part of our understanding of site performance. Individual session data is typically purged from analytics systems within 26 months in line with standard analytics provider policies.
• Affiliate tracking records may be retained for longer periods for commercial reconciliation purposes, but these records do not contain personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for commission attribution.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with any individual.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

UK data protection law gives you a number of rights over your personal data. These rights are not absolute - in some circumstances they can be limited - but we take all requests seriously and will respond within one month of receipt.

• Right of access: You can ask us to confirm whether we hold any personal data about you, and to provide you with a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification: If data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.
• Right to erasure: In certain circumstances - for example, where data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected - you can ask us to delete it.
• Right to restriction: You can ask us to limit the ways in which we use your data in certain circumstances, for example while an accuracy dispute is being resolved.
• Right to data portability: Where we process your data on the basis of consent or contract and the processing is automated, you can ask us to provide the data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will assess the objection and stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Rights related to automated decision-making: We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in any way that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's supervisory authority for data protection, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern directly before you contact the ICO, but you are free to escalate at any time.

Security Measures

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted access to systems that hold personal data, and regular review of our data handling practices.

No system connected to the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we take our obligations seriously and we will notify you and, where required, the ICO promptly in the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, changes in applicable law, or changes to the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, draw attention to the change on the website. We recommend reviewing this notice periodically.

Continued use of the website after a change to this notice constitutes acknowledgement of the updated version. If you do not agree with a change, please stop using the site and contact us if you wish to discuss the matter.

How to Contact Us
