Legal Bases for Processing
Lordswoodunder5s.org.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for optional activities such as newsletter sign-ups and non-essential cookies, which you may withdraw at any time without penalty. We rely on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for analytics, site security, and affiliate tracking, where we have balanced those interests against your rights and concluded they do not override your fundamental freedoms. Where a legal obligation applies, we also rely on Article 6(1)(c).
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Our reviews on lordswoodunder5s.org.uk contain affiliate links to licensed casino operators, including Bally's Casino. When you click such a link, you will leave our site and that operator's own privacy policy will govern your data. We may receive a commission if you register or deposit — this does not affect our editorial independence. We also engage trusted third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) who process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
Your Privacy Rights
- Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data where no lawful basis remains for retention.
- Right to data portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
- Right to restrict processing: Ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw any previously given consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact the Lordswoodunder5s team using the details in the Contact section below. We will respond within 30 days in accordance with UK GDPR requirements. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Data Security & Retention
Lordswoodunder5s.org.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures — including SSL encryption, restricted access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or to meet legal requirements. Contact form data is typically retained for up to 24 months; analytics data is retained in line with the cookie periods stated above. Once retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
