Privacy policy for the Goldb7Vault platform.
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit Goldb7Vault, why we use it, how long we keep it and how to exercise your rights. Goldb7Vault is an editorial comparison site and does not operate gambling services.
1. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through Goldb7Vault, including visits to our pages, messages sent to us and limited technical data generated when a browser loads the site. Goldb7Vault is an independent editorial comparison website focused on licensed UK casinos. We do not create player accounts for gambling, process deposits, verify casino identities on behalf of operators or store any gambling transaction history. Because of that role, our data profile is lighter than that of a gambling operator, but we still treat privacy as a core obligation rather than a side note.
2. Information we collect directly
If you contact us by email or through a form on the site, we may collect your name, email address, the contents of your message and any attachments you choose to send. That information is used so we can respond, review correction requests, assess commercial disclosures or handle privacy queries. We do not ask you to send gambling account passwords, payment card details or identity documents through general editorial channels, and you should avoid including sensitive data unless it is clearly necessary for a lawful request.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, Goldb7Vault receives certain technical information automatically when a page is loaded. This may include IP address, browser type, device details, operating system data, referring page information, language settings, time stamps and interaction events linked to the page being viewed. Some of this information is generated through server logging and some may be associated with cookies or similar browser storage. We use this data to keep the site working, understand which pages are used and spot broken paths, unusual traffic patterns or abusive activity.
4. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our primary lawful bases are legitimate interests, consent and legal obligation where relevant. Legitimate interests cover activities such as securing the website, measuring basic performance, responding to editorial correspondence and maintaining affiliate reporting that does not override your rights. Consent is used where required for optional cookies or similar technologies. Legal obligation may apply if we must retain or disclose specific records to comply with applicable law, defend legal claims or respond to a valid regulatory request. We assess each use of data against necessity and proportionality before relying on it.
5. How we use personal data
We use information to run and improve the site, answer messages, review partnership disclosures, investigate inaccuracies, keep audit trails around privacy requests and protect the service from misuse. We may also use limited technical information to understand whether pages load correctly, whether the mobile navigation works and whether the website experiences unusual errors or malicious traffic. Goldb7Vault does not profile users for gambling suitability, does not make automated decisions about access to operator services and does not sell contact details to unaffiliated mailing lists.
6. Affiliate links and third-party destinations
Our pages contain affiliate links to third-party casino operators. When you click one of those links, you leave Goldb7Vault and enter the operator's own environment, where separate privacy notices and regulatory requirements apply. We may receive confirmation that a referral occurred, and in some cases aggregated reporting linked to campaign performance. That does not give us access to your casino balance, gameplay records or payment details. Any information you provide after leaving our site is controlled by the third-party destination and should be reviewed through its own policy documents.
7. Cookies and similar storage
Goldb7Vault uses limited browser storage for functional purposes, including age confirmation and cookie preference handling. These settings help us avoid asking the same question on every visit and support the basic operation of the site. We may also use analytics-style tools or referral measurement where permitted. Our separate Cookie Policy explains categories, retention and management options in greater detail. You can usually control cookies through browser settings as well as through the choices presented on the site.
8. Sharing and service providers
We may share data with service providers who help us host the website, deliver email, secure the platform, analyse traffic or maintain affiliate reporting. Those providers are required to process data only on documented instructions and with suitable safeguards. We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to enforce our terms, to respond to lawful requests from public authorities or to protect the rights, property or safety of Goldb7Vault, users or others. We do not authorise third parties to use your personal data for unrelated marketing.
9. International transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. When that happens, we seek to use providers that offer an appropriate level of protection and, where required, contractual or legal safeguards that support lawful transfers. The exact route may depend on where the provider operates and the nature of the processing involved. While no online service can promise zero risk, we work to limit transfers to what is necessary and to avoid unnecessary exposure of contact information or usage data.
10. Retention periods
We keep data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is justified by legal, regulatory or dispute-related needs. Routine server logs may be retained for a shorter operational window. Editorial enquiries may be kept for longer where they document corrections, affiliate disclosure questions or history relevant to an ongoing relationship. Privacy correspondence may be preserved for an appropriate compliance period so we can evidence how a request was handled. When information is no longer required, we aim to delete it or reduce it to a form that no longer identifies you.
11. Your rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent where consent is the lawful basis. These rights are not absolute and may be limited where exemptions apply, for example where data must be kept to comply with legal obligations or defend claims. If you want to exercise a right, email privacy@goldb7vault.com with enough detail for us to understand the request. We may ask for reasonable verification before taking action.
12. Children and age restrictions
Goldb7Vault is intended for adults aged 18 and over. The site includes age-gating because our content concerns gambling-related subjects that are not designed for minors. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children. If you believe that a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact privacy@goldb7vault.com so the matter can be reviewed and, where appropriate, the data can be removed. This policy does not replace the age and identity obligations applied by licensed gambling operators themselves.
13. Security measures
We use a combination of technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. Those measures may include access controls, configuration management, provider vetting, update procedures and reasonable monitoring for misuse. No website or email channel can be guaranteed completely secure, so you should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive material through open correspondence. If a security issue affects personal data in a way that triggers legal obligations, we will assess and respond under the applicable framework.
14. Policy updates and contact details
We may update this Privacy Policy when legal requirements, provider arrangements or site practices change. When that happens, we will revise the published version on this page and, where appropriate, adjust related notices across the site. Questions about this policy, or requests linked to your personal data, should be sent to privacy@goldb7vault.com. General editorial matters can still be directed to contact@goldb7vault.com. If you remain dissatisfied after contacting us, you may also have the right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority.
