Legal Bases for Processing
Spurstalk.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and, where applicable, the EU GDPR. Our legal bases for processing are as follows: we rely on your consent for analytics cookies, marketing communications, and any non-essential data collection — consent may be withdrawn at any time. We rely on legitimate interests for the operation of affiliate tracking and site security measures, having balanced these interests against your rights and freedoms. Where you contact us directly, processing is necessary for the performance of a pre-contractual or contractual arrangement. We will also process data where required to meet a legal obligation under UK law.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Spurstalk.co.uk contains links and referral buttons to licensed casino operators, including those featured in our Hippodrome Casino reviews. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to a third-party website governed by its own privacy policy. We may receive a commission when you follow such links, but we are not responsible for the data practices of any third-party operator. We also use third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, who may process anonymised data on our behalf under their own terms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit via hippodrome-casino-gb.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully.
