Status of Spinstops
Spinstops operates as an information portal and review site for online casinos, bonuses, game providers, payment methods, licenses and responsible gambling. We are not a casino operator, do not accept bets, hold users' gaming balances, or process deposits or withdrawals. Our data processing therefore relates to operation of the site, editorial materials, feedback, complaints, interface settings and security.
What data may we receive?
During ordinary site browsing, technical data may be processed: IP address, approximate country-level location, device and browser type, language, selected country, pages visited, request date and time, referral source and basic error information. If a user writes to the editorial team, leaves a review or complaint, or uses a form, the name, nickname, email address, message text, attachments and information the user submitted in the request may also be processed.
Account and enquiry data
If the site uses an account, review, complaint or contact form, the data is needed to identify the request, respond to the user, moderate content, protect against spam and verify facts. Complaint materials, payment links, screenshots, documents, transaction IDs and other evidence are treated as sensitive editorial materials: they are not published automatically or added to public pages without a separate review and removal of personal information.
Cookies and site settings
Spinstops may use necessary cookies and similar technologies to load pages, save language and country settings, record cookie consent, secure sessions and ensure the interface works correctly. Optional analytics, if enabled, are used to understand page quality and technical errors. Detailed cookie rules are provided in the separate Cookie Policy; users can change their settings in the banner or browser.
How do we use data?
Data is used to show the appropriate language version of the site, apply geo context, protect forms, respond to enquiries, moderate reviews and complaints, correct errors in reviews, improve navigation and analyze technical stability. We do not sell users' personal data to casino operators or use Spinstops data to place bets, open gaming accounts, make payments or withdraw winnings.
Affiliate links and external sites
Review pages may contain links to casino, provider, payment system and regulator websites, as well as affiliate links. After opening an external site, that site's privacy policy applies, and its owner may collect its own cookies, analytics, registration data, payment information or KYC documents. Spinstops does not control external forms, the operator's cashier, the gaming account or the data-processing rules of a third-party site.
Analytics, security and anti-spam
Request logs, anti-spam filters, rate limits, error monitoring and basic performance analytics may be used to protect the site. This data helps detect technical failures, abuse, automated requests and attempts to disrupt the service. Where possible, analytics data is used in aggregate form without being linked to a specific individual.
Who may access the data
Data may be accessed by a limited number of Spinstops editors, moderators and technical specialists who need the information to perform a task. Infrastructure providers may also be used: hosting, email, analytics systems, anti-spam and security services. In certain cases, data may be disclosed if required by law or a competent authority, or if necessary to protect the rights of users and the site itself.
Retention period and protection
We retain data only for as long as necessary for the purpose of processing: responding to an enquiry, moderating a complaint, correcting material, technical security, the history of editorial changes or compliance with legal requirements. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymized or retained only in technical logs with restricted access. Despite security measures, no internet service can guarantee absolute security, so users should not send unnecessary documents or payment details.
User rights and contacts
Users may request access to their data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, withdrawal of consent to optional cookies or an explanation regarding a specific request. To submit a request, specify the page, the nature of the issue and contact details for a response. Questions about privacy, complaints, corrections and removal of materials can be sent to [email protected]. If the policy changes significantly, the update date and the text on this page will be revised.
