Legal Bases for Processing
Tssaware.org.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we send marketing communications or deploy non-essential cookies, we rely on your freely given, specific, and informed consent, which you may withdraw at any time. For activities such as site analytics, fraud prevention, and affiliate tracking, we rely on our legitimate interests as a commercial review publisher, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. In limited circumstances, processing may also be necessary to fulfil a legal obligation.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Tssaware.org.uk contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators, including those featured in our Hotstreak Casino reviews. When you click such a link, the destination operator and any intermediate affiliate network may place their own cookies and collect data governed by their respective privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party data practices. We also use Google Analytics and comparable analytics providers, which transfer anonymised usage data to their servers. Where any such transfer occurs outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are applied in line with UK GDPR requirements.
