Privacy Policy

This site has no accounts and sells nothing. The only personal data it handles is what you send us in a message, plus the technical record that serving a page leaves in a server log. This policy sets out both in full, together with the legal basis for each and the rights you can exercise.

Who is responsible for your data

iGaming Hub is the independent editorial project that publishes theigaminghub.io, and is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. It is not a payment provider or a gambling operator.

The controller’s public privacy contact is contact@theigaminghub.io. Use that address to ask a question, exercise a data-protection right or request the current details of a processor. No separate data protection officer has been appointed.

Information you give us

If you write to one of our desks by email, or send the contact form, we receive what you chose to include — typically your name, your email address, optionally a Telegram handle, and the content of your message.

We do not ask for anything else. There is no registration, no login, no newsletter sign-up and no payment on this site, so there is no account record, password or payment instrument behind it.

Information collected automatically

Like any website, serving a page leaves a record in the web server’s log. What it contains is:

• Pages requested, with the date and time.
• Approximate location derived from your IP address, at country level.
• Referring site, where your browser sends one.
• Device type, operating system and browser version.

This is read in aggregate, to see which research is used and to spot abuse. We do not combine it into a profile of an individual visitor, we do not attempt to identify you from it, and we do not sell or share it for advertising.

Cookies and similar technologies

Public articles do not require advertising or analytics cookies. There is no advertising cookie, no analytics cookie and no cross-site tracking that follows you onto other websites, which is also why you are not asked to dismiss a consent banner.

WordPress uses essential authentication, security and preference cookies for signed-in editors, and may use a test cookie on the login page. Public readers do not need an account. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies on public pages.

If we later add analytics or any other non-essential technology, this section and the date at the top of the page change first, and consent is asked for before anything is set.

Why we process it, and on what legal basis

Each purpose has its own basis under Article 6 of the UK and EU GDPR:

• Answering your message — necessary for our legitimate interest in replying to correspondence we have been sent, and in checking and correcting a figure you have told us is wrong.
• Reading server logs in aggregate — our legitimate interest in knowing which research is used. If we later add an analytics tool, consent is asked for first where local law requires it.
• Serving and securing the site — our legitimate interest in delivering pages and defending against abuse.

Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have weighed it against your interests and privacy. You can object to any of it, and how to do so is set out below.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal data, and we do not disclose it for anyone else’s marketing.

Hostinger hosts the site and may process connection data and server logs in order to deliver pages, maintain security and diagnose faults.

Messages are delivered by the email services used by you and by the theigaminghub.io mailboxes. The contact form sends your message over HTTPS to our WordPress server. The server validates the request and sends it to contact@theigaminghub.io through the site’s configured email transport. You do not need to open an email application. Messages are not published or stored as WordPress posts.

We use no analytics, advertising or cross-site tracking provider at present.

We will also disclose data where we are legally obliged to, and to protect our rights where that becomes necessary.

Transfers outside your country

Some of the providers above operate outside the UK and the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred to such a country, the transfer is covered by an adequacy decision or by the UK Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, together with any additional safeguards those require.

You can ask us which transfer mechanism applies to a particular provider by writing to contact@theigaminghub.io.

How long we keep it

Correspondence is kept for as long as it takes to answer it, and afterwards only where a record is needed — for example the evidence behind a correction we have published. It is reviewed and deleted when it no longer serves either purpose.

Server logs are kept for a short operational period by the hosting provider and then rotated away. Nothing is extracted from them that points back to an individual visitor.

How it is protected

The site is served over HTTPS. Access to the mailboxes, to the hosting account and to the content tool is restricted to the people who need it, and protected by multi-factor authentication.

No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed secure. Please do not send us commercially sensitive contract terms, credentials or payment details by email.

Your rights

Under the UK and EU GDPR, and comparable laws elsewhere, you can ask us to:

• Confirm whether we hold personal data about you, and give you a copy of it.
• Correct it where it is wrong or incomplete.
• Delete it, where we have no continuing need or legal obligation to keep it.
• Restrict how we use it while a dispute about it is resolved.
• Receive it in a portable, machine-readable form.
• Stop processing it where we rely on legitimate interest, by objecting.

Write to contact@theigaminghub.io. We answer within one month, and will say so if a request needs longer. Exercising any of these rights is free and carries no penalty.

Complaints

If you think we have handled your data badly, tell us first — most problems are quicker to fix directly.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, either in the country where you live or work, or where the problem occurred. Doing so does not require you to raise it with us first.

Under-18s

This site covers gambling-adjacent payment infrastructure and is intended for people working in that industry. It is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a child.

If you believe a child has sent us personal data, write to contact@theigaminghub.io and we will delete it.

Automated decisions

We make no decision about you by automated means, and we do not profile visitors. Provider scores are calculated automatically from the published model, but they are decisions about companies we research — not about the people reading the site.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. A change that materially affects how we handle personal data will be flagged on the page itself rather than made quietly.

How to contact us

Anything about this policy, or any request under it: contact@theigaminghub.io. Use the same contact address for all enquiries; the contact page also provides a message form.
