SlotsCalendar: Privacy Policy

GSH Online Media, the owner of Slotscalendar.org.uk, maintains its commitment to privacy, guaranteeing the safeguarding and management of personal data belonging to our customers and visitors (“you”) across our platform.

In our capacity as an online performance marketing and lead generation company, we are dedicated to upholding the security of your personal data and adhering to relevant data protection laws.

How Does The Policy Work?

The goal of this policy is to explain the circumstances, reasons, and methods by which we hammed data that relate to you (personal data).

Moreover, it provides crucial details regarding your statutory rights. It is vital to note that this policy is not designed to override the terms of any contract you may have with us or influence the rights data protection laws offer.

Your Personal Data: Our Responsibility

GSH Online Media has its registered address at Intrarea Nestorei no. 1, 1st floor, Flat B, Bucharest sector 4, and it assumes the responsibility for the protection of your personal data (acting as your Data Controller).

For a much more precise understanding, GSH Online Media is the representative within the UK. The data controller refers to the company determining the means and purposes of processing sensitive data.

It’s crucial to note that while we are primarily responsible for your safety and safeguarding your personal data, databases, including this information, could be accessible to other companies, too. All the other companies that will access your data will adhere to the standards highlighted in this policy.

The personal data we process

There’s a possibility to process the following personal data about you:

  • IP address
  • Location data
  • Website usage
  • Personal preferences and opinions

For what purposes do we use your personal data, and at what times do we process it?

When using our services or visiting our websites, our team will collect information straight from you. We use all the personal information for the following instances:

  • To send promotional emails regarding our products and services (refer to the section below on Direct marketing for more details).
  • To evaluate and analyse the details within our systems and databases to improve our operations and websites according to user preferences. Our goal is to deliver superior service and user experience.  
  • To improve and target ads that you get from us.
  • To sign you up for a chat forum or community, if we make it available, where you may add comments and feedback.
  • To meet our legal obligations or rights.

We shall exclusively handle your personal data for the objectives delineated in Section 3, provided that:

  • You have granted consent for us to utilise the data in such a manner or
  • Our utilisation of your personal data is essential to uphold our “legitimate interests” as a business (for instance, enhancing our products or conducting analytics across our datasets) in a manner that is proportionate and upholds your privacy.

Who do we share your sensitive data with?

We work with several third parties to help manage our business and deliver our services. These third parties may rarely ask for access to your personal data.

Additionally, we might share your details, including personal data, with any member of our group companies (this includes subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company, and all its subsidiaries) only if necessary for the purposes and legal bases that we highlight in this policy.

Moreover, we might disclose aggregated information (data amalgamated to the extent that it no longer identifies or references an individual user) and other anonymised details for purposes including regulatory compliance, industry and market analysis, demographic profiling, marketing and advertising, and other business-related goals.

Should we become involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event, we may sell, transfer, or share certain or all of our assets, including your information, in connection with such transactions or in anticipation of them (for example, for due diligence purposes).

In the event of such a circumstance, we will notify you prior to the transfer of your personal information, and it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We reserve the right to reveal your information, including personal details, to courts, law enforcement or governmental authorities, or authorised third parties if and to the extent required or permitted by law or if such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the following reasons:

  • (i) To fulfil our legal obligations.
  • (ii) To comply with legal proceedings and respond to claims made against us.
  • (iii) To respond to requests related to a criminal investigation of suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may potentially expose us, you, or any other users to legal liability.

The legal basis for such processing is our legitimate interests, specifically in protecting and enforcing our legal rights and safeguarding our business against potential risks.

International Transfers

We reserve the right to transfer, store, and process your information within our group of companies to support our worldwide operations. This will happen both inside and outside the UK for the purposes highlighted in the Privacy Policy.

In the event that we transfer your personal data outside the UK, we will exert every reasonable effort to ensure that suitable safeguards are in place to uphold the security of your personal data.

These safeguards will be comparable to the level of protection provided within the country and will be in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

Direct Marketing

We shall use your personal information to dispatch direct marketing communications about the products and services we offer and our partners. These could include online casino establishments, sports betting and financial services information.

The communications could take the form of email or targeted online ads.

Rarely, in specific situations, the processing of personal information for marketing reasons will be based on our legitimate interests (as detailed in Section 3 above). Yet, if the law requires it, it will be after your consent.

You will always have the freedom and right to refuse and decline any future direct marketing. You can use this right by accessing the opt-out link we provide in all direct marketing communications or by getting in touch correctly (details in section 8).

You always have the right to decline further direct marketing at any time. You can exercise this right by using the opt-out link provided in all direct marketing communications or by contacting us directly (as detailed in Section 8).

We implement measures to ensure that direct marketing is maintained at a reasonable and proportionate level. Our aim is to send you communications that we believe might be of interest or relevance to you, considering the information we have about you.

Upon subscribing, you agree to get direct marketing from all GSH Online Media brands. We might send you emails or targeted advertisements. To opt-out, use the link in our messages or contact us at any time.

How long do we keep your data?

We will uphold personal data for a reasonable time, which is necessary to fulfil the purposes highlighted in Section 3 of this policy.

In specific situations, we could keep your personal information for a particular time to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

We’ve enacted a data retention policy to oversee the holding of personal data within our purview. Once your personal data is no longer required, we’ll ensure it is securely deleted or anonymised.

What are your rights?

There are several rights you may use regarding your personal information. Refer to the list below for detailed information about these rights. To use your rights, contact us via email at [email protected]. If you want to exercise your right, please consider the following points:

Access

You possess the right to request the following from us:

  • Confirmation of whether we are processing your personal information.  
  • A copy of your personal data.
  • Supplementary information about your personal data, including details such as the data we hold, its usage, recipients of disclosure, potential transfers outside the UK, protective measures, retention period, your rights, the complaint process, data source, and whether any Automated Decision Making or Profiling has occurred. This information will be provided unless already outlined in this policy.

Rectification

  • You are entitled to request the correction of any inaccurate personal data held by us.
  • To maintain data accuracy, we may require verification of the information before proceeding with the rectification.

Erasure

You retain the right to request the deletion of your personal data under the following conditions:

  1. When the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
  1. When you have withdrawn your consent (if the processing was based on consent).
  1. After a successful right to object has been exercised (refer to ‘Objection’ below).
  1. When the data has been processed unlawfully.
  1. To comply with a legal obligation.

However, please be aware that we are not obligated to comply with your request for erasure if the processing of your personal data is necessary:

  • To fulfil a legal obligation.
  • For the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

While there may be other circumstances where we may not be required to comply with your erasure request, these two scenarios are the most likely situations in which we would decline such a request.

Restriction

You will have the right to ask for the restriction of your personal data, indicating that we will retain it but not actively use it, under the next circumstances:

  • When the accuracy of the data is disputed (see ‘Rectification’), we need to verify its accuracy.
  • When the data processing is unlawful, you prefer it not to be deleted.
  • When the data is no longer necessary for its original purposes, we still require it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • When you have exercised your right to object, verification of overriding grounds is pending.

Yet, even if a restriction is applied, we may continue to use your personal data under the following circumstances:

  • With your consent.
  • To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • To safeguard the rights of another individual or legal entity.

Portability

You will have the right to request that we deliver your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Moreover, you can request that the data be directly transferred (‘ported’) to another Data Controller.

However, these options are only applicable in the following circumstances:

  • The processing of your data is based on your consent or the performance of a contract with you.
  • The processing is conducted using automated means.

Objection

You have the right to object to any processing of your personal data that relies on our ‘legitimate interests’ as its legal basis if you believe that your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests.

We have the chance to prove that we possess compelling, legitimate interests that override your rights and freedoms.

International Transfers

You can get a copy of/ or information about the safeguards implemented for transferring your personal data outside the UK.

Please note that in some instances, we may redact or obscure certain details within data transfer agreements or related documents to safeguard commercial sensitivities.

Supervisory Authority

You are free to exercise your right to file a complaint with the UK Gambling Commission about our processing of your personal data.

We kindly ask you to solve any concerns and issues with us first, although you have the right to contact the supervisory authority at all times.
