How this site remembers you
This privacy policy explains how baristacoffeehouse.co.uk (we, us, our) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. FishSpins is an independent information portal reviewing online gaming operators. We are not affiliated with the operator itself, and this policy covers only the data we handle through this portal.
We take your privacy seriously. This notice sets out what information reaches us, why we need it, who else may see it, and the rights you hold under UK data protection law. You must be 18 or over (18+) to use this site.
The analytics question
baristacoffeehouse.co.uk is the data controller for any personal information collected through this website. We are responsible for deciding how your data is used and for keeping it secure.
Information you provide directly: If you contact us via email at [email protected], we collect your email address, name (if you give it), and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
Information we collect automatically: When you browse our site, we may collect technical data including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the time spent on each page. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies – see our Cookie Policy for full details.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. This service processes anonymised usage data to help us improve the site. Analytics cookies require your consent, which you can grant or withdraw via the cookie banner when you first visit.
Scripts we do not control
We process your personal data on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:
- Consent: For analytics and advertising cookies, we ask for your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
- Legitimate interests: We use technical data to maintain site security, prevent fraud, and analyse site performance – purposes that benefit both us and our visitors without overriding your rights.
- Legal obligation: Where we must process data to comply with UK law.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we share data with the following categories of processor:
| Service | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|

| Google Analytics | Usage statistics | Anonymised browsing data |
| Advertising partners | Relevant offers (consent-based) | Cookie identifiers, anonymised behaviour |
These processors operate under their own privacy policies and may transfer data outside the UK. Where transfers occur, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office.

Revisions
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above:
