Legal Bases for Processing

Bedford5k.co.uk processes your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we rely on your consent — for example, to place analytics or marketing cookies or to send promotional emails — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. In other cases, processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in operating a professional casino review service, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. We may also process data where required to comply with a legal obligation.

Third Parties & Affiliate Links

Bedford5k.co.uk contains affiliate links to licensed online casino operators. When you click one of these links, you will leave our site and the operator's own privacy policy will govern your data from that point. We may share anonymised referral data with affiliate networks and casino partners solely for commission-tracking purposes. We also engage third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, which may process your data on our behalf under a data-processing agreement. We do not sell your personal information to any third party for their own independent marketing purposes.

  • Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format

  • Right to Restrict Processing: Ask us to pause processing while a complaint is resolved

Data Security & Retention

Bedford5k.co.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted staff access, and regular security reviews. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. Contact form data is typically retained for up to 24 months; newsletter subscriber data is held until you unsubscribe; anonymised analytics data may be retained for up to 26 months. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
