Privacy Policy

Effective date: 26 May 2026

This policy explains how Qwintrix processes personal data when you browse our website, contact our team, and interact with page features such as age confirmation and cookie settings. Qwintrix is an editorial comparison website and not a gambling operator. We do not run player wallets, accept bets, or request financial account credentials for gambling activity. Our priority is to keep data use proportionate to the limited functions of the site and to communicate that use in clear terms.

1. Who We Are and How to Reach Us

Qwintrix operates at qwintrix.com and provides casino comparison content for UK readers. For privacy questions, correction requests, or concerns about this notice, contact privacy@qwintrix.com. General queries can be sent to info@qwintrix.com. Legal notices may be directed to legal@qwintrix.com. We review privacy emails regularly and aim to respond within one calendar month, with faster responses where possible.

2. Data We Collect

We collect a narrow set of data categories. First, technical browsing information can be logged by hosting or analytics tools, such as IP address fragments, browser type, device class, approximate location, referrer data, and page interaction timestamps. Second, we process data that you actively provide, for example when you email our team. That may include your name, email address, and any details contained in your message. Third, local browser storage records your age confirmation and cookie choice through the keys qwintrix_age and qwintrix_cookies. We do not intentionally collect payment details, full date of birth, or special category data through forms on this website.

3. Why We Process Data

Personal data is processed for practical website operations and reader support. We use technical logs to maintain security, diagnose errors, and monitor load performance. We use cookie preference records to respect your choices and to avoid repeatedly showing the same consent prompts. We use age confirmation status to restrict access until a visitor confirms that the site is for adults. If you contact us, we process your information to reply, resolve the request, and retain a minimal correspondence record where needed for accountability. We may also analyse aggregated traffic trends to understand which editorial pages are useful and which require updates.

4. Legal Bases

Where UK GDPR applies, our legal bases include legitimate interests, consent, and compliance obligations. Legitimate interests support basic security logging, anti-abuse monitoring, and quality improvements where the impact on users is low and proportionate. Consent applies where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, and you may decline or later revise that consent. Compliance obligations may apply when records must be retained to address legal claims or statutory duties. When our basis is consent, withdrawal can be made by clearing site storage and reselecting options when prompts reappear.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Qwintrix uses a compact cookie approach and local storage entries that support core site behaviour. Essential functions include age gate persistence and consent preference storage so pages do not repeatedly lock or prompt after a choice is made. If analytics tools are present, they are configured to focus on aggregated usage patterns rather than individual profiling. Detailed information appears in our Cookie Policy page. Browser settings can also block or delete cookies, but this may reduce feature usability, including repeated appearance of compliance banners.

6. Sharing and Recipients

We do not sell personal data. Data may be shared with service providers that host website infrastructure, deliver email, protect against abuse, or provide aggregated analytics. These providers process data under contractual instructions and are expected to apply appropriate safeguards. If required by law, we may disclose limited information to regulators, law enforcement, courts, or legal advisers. Affiliate partners receive referral context when you click outbound links, but we do not transfer your private correspondence to those partners unless you explicitly ask us to do so.

7. International Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK. When that happens, we use safeguards that are intended to maintain equivalent protection, such as contractual clauses and provider risk reviews. Transfer mechanisms are selected based on the specific processing activity and provider location. Even with safeguards, cross-border processing can involve legal environments different from those in the UK, so we continue to assess vendors and can replace suppliers when risk profiles change.

8. Data Retention

Retention periods depend on purpose. Routine technical logs are kept for a limited period unless needed for active security investigations. Contact emails are stored only as long as necessary to answer the request and maintain a short support history. Cookie and local storage indicators remain in your browser until cleared by you or overwritten by a new choice. We periodically review stored records and remove items that are no longer needed for operational, legal, or audit reasons.

9. Security Measures

Qwintrix uses layered controls suitable for an editorial website. Measures include access restriction for administrative systems, transport security where supported, credential management practices, and monitoring intended to detect unusual activity. No internet system is risk-free, so we cannot promise absolute security. If we detect a material incident that creates a high risk to individuals, we will follow applicable notification duties and provide practical guidance where action from users is appropriate.

10. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, erasure, processing restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. We may ask for identity verification before completing a rights request, particularly if sensitive correspondence is involved. That verification is used only for request handling and is not retained longer than needed.

11. Minors

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly provide gambling comparison content to minors and do not intentionally collect their personal data. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, contact privacy@qwintrix.com so we can investigate and remove data where appropriate.

12. Policy Updates

We may update this policy when legal obligations, technology, or site features change. Significant revisions will be reflected with a new effective date and, where appropriate, additional notice on relevant pages. Continued use of the site after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically, especially before sharing personal information by email.
