This privacy notice explains how Katanaspin information portal (i-c-r.org.uk) collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit this site. We are an independent review platform – we do not operate the casino or sportsbook itself, and this notice covers only what happens on our own pages.
Who controls your data
i-c-r.org.uk is the data controller for any personal information you provide here. That means we decide how it is collected, stored and used. If you register an account or make a deposit with the operator, that relationship is separate – the operator becomes the controller of the data you hand over there, and its own privacy policy applies.
What we collect and why
We gather two kinds of information: technical data your browser sends automatically, and anything you choose to submit through a contact form.
Technical data includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited and the time spent on each one. This reaches us through server logs and analytics scripts. We use it to understand how people navigate the site, which pages perform well, and where we should improve the layout. The lawful basis under UK GDPR is legitimate interest – running a functional, user-friendly portal.
Contact-form submissions collect your email address and whatever message you write. We use this information solely to answer your question or pass feedback to the editorial team. The lawful basis here is consent: by hitting send, you agree we may process the content to reply. We never use a contact-form address for marketing without asking separately.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets first-party cookies to remember your consent banner choice and to distinguish one visit from another in analytics. Third-party scripts – typically an analytics provider such as Google Analytics – may set their own cookies to track aggregate behaviour across sessions. You can read exactly which cookies we use and how to disable them on the Cookie Policy page. Declining analytics cookies does not break the site; you simply will not be counted in our traffic reports.
Who else sees your data
We share personal information with a small number of processors who help us run the portal:
- Hosting provider – stores the site's files and database; has access to server logs.
- Analytics service – receives anonymised or pseudonymised usage data to generate reports.
- Email service – handles contact-form delivery so your message reaches our inbox.
Each processor is bound by a data-processing agreement and may only use your information for the purpose we specify. We never sell personal data to third parties, and we never pass your email address to the operator unless you explicitly ask us to forward something on your behalf.
International transfers
Some of the processors listed above may store data on servers outside the UK. Where that happens, we ensure the transfer is protected by UK-recognised safeguards – typically standard contractual clauses or the processor's certification under a recognised framework. If you want details of a specific transfer mechanism, write to [email protected] and we will explain which one applies.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights over any personal data we hold about you:
- Access – request a copy of everything we have recorded.
- Rectification – ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
- Erasure – have your data deleted when we no longer need it for the original purpose.
- Restriction – limit how we process your information while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability – receive your data in a machine-readable format to move it elsewhere.
- Object – challenge processing that relies on legitimate interest, including profiling.
- Withdraw consent – take back any consent you gave, effective from that moment forward.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month. If you believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data-protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
How long we keep your information
Server logs and analytics data are retained for 12 months, then automatically deleted. Contact-form messages and replies are kept for 24 months in case you follow up on the same subject. After that period they are purged from our systems. If you ask us to delete something sooner – and we have no legal reason to keep it – we will do so within 30 days.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for visitors aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has submitted data to us, contact [email protected] and we will remove it promptly. When a device is shared with minors, consider installing parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content.
Changes to this notice
We may update this privacy policy from time to time – for example, when we add a new feature, change a processor, or respond to regulatory guidance. The revised version will carry a new "last updated" date at the foot of the page, and material changes will be flagged with a banner on your next visit. Check back periodically if you want to stay informed about how we handle your data.
Contact us
Questions about this privacy notice, or any aspect of how we process your information, should be sent to [email protected]. We aim to reply within 48 hours on working days.
