This privacy notice explains how cheesmangroves.co.uk collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our independent review portal about Betmica Casino. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data in line with UK data protection law.
Scope of this notice
This policy covers only the information we collect through cheesmangroves.co.uk — our own independent information site. We are not Betmica, the casino operator. If you register an account or deposit money with Betmica itself, that operator has its own privacy policy governing how it handles player data. We have no access to that information and no control over how the operator processes it.
Our role is to provide information and reviews. The data we collect is limited to what you share with us directly or what your browser sends when you visit our pages.
Categories of information we collect
We gather two kinds of data: information you give us deliberately, and technical data your device sends automatically.
Information you provide: If you contact us via email at [email protected], we receive your email address, your name (if you include it), and whatever you write in your message. We don't run account registrations, payment processing or any other service that would collect identity documents, addresses or financial details.
Technical data collected automatically: When you load a page, our server logs your IP address, the page you requested, the date and time, your browser type, and the site you came from. If we use analytics tools — such as Google Analytics or similar services — those tools may set cookies and collect usage data: which pages you visit, how long you stay, where you click. That data is aggregated and anonymised; we use it to understand how visitors navigate the site and where we should improve.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful reason to process your personal data. Our grounds are:
- Legitimate interests — we log technical data to keep the site secure, diagnose errors and understand what content is useful. Those interests are balanced against your privacy, and the data we collect is minimal.
- Consent — for analytics and advertising cookies, where required. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner that appears when you first visit.
- Legal obligation — in rare cases, such as responding to a valid court order.
How we use your information
We use the data we collect to:
- respond to questions you send to [email protected];
- maintain and improve the site — fixing broken links, understanding which pages are read most, and spotting technical problems;
- meet legal obligations, if any apply;
- serve relevant advertising, where you have consented to marketing cookies.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not use it to build individual profiles for targeting beyond standard analytics.
Sharing your data with third parties
We share data only in limited, specific circumstances:
| Recipient | What is shared | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics providers | Anonymised usage data, IP addresses | To measure site traffic and behaviour |
| Advertising networks | Cookie identifiers, browsing data | To serve and measure ads (with your consent) |
| Hosting provider | Server logs, IP addresses | To deliver the site and keep it online |
| Email service | Your email address and message content | To handle correspondence you send us |
Some of these services may store or process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place — typically standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR. We never share your data with the Betmica operator; any information you provide to them when you register is subject to their own privacy terms, not ours.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have several rights over the personal data we hold. You can exercise them by contacting us at [email protected]. Here's what you're entitled to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erasure — request deletion of your data, where we have no legitimate reason to keep it.
- Restriction — ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format, or have it sent to another controller.
- Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests, or to direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — where processing relies on consent (such as analytics cookies), you can withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or our cookie banner.
We aim to respond within one month. If your request is complex or we receive several at once, we may extend that by a further two months and will let you know. There is no fee unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Supervisory authority
If you're not satisfied with how we handle your data or how we respond to a request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator. Visit ico.org.uk or call their helpline for guidance.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected:
- Email correspondence — kept for up to two years, then deleted unless there's an ongoing issue or legal reason to retain it.
- Server logs — typically retained for 90 days, then automatically purged.
- Analytics data — aggregated and anonymised; retained indefinitely in that form because it no longer identifies individuals.
If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so without undue delay, subject to any legal obligation to keep it.
Protection of minors
Our site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Betmica itself is an adult gambling service, and all content on this portal relates to that. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has sent us personal information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Security measures
We take reasonable steps to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Our hosting environment uses industry-standard encryption (HTTPS), and access to any personal data we hold is restricted to those who need it to perform their role. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this notice from time to time — for example, if we add a new service, change our hosting provider, or need to reflect changes in the law. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a notice on the site. Continued use of cheesmangroves.co.uk after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
Contact us
If you have questions about this privacy policy, want to exercise any of your rights, or simply want to know more about how we handle data, write to us at [email protected]. We'll respond as quickly as we can, and within the timescales required by law.
