Legal Bases for Processing
Hhsoc.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we send marketing communications or deploy non-essential cookies, we rely on your freely given consent as the legal basis. For activities such as site analytics, fraud prevention, and affiliate tracking, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating a commercial review platform, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights. Where required by law, we will also process data to comply with a legal obligation.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Hhsoc.co.uk publishes reviews and links to licensed casino operators, including Bally Bet. When you click an affiliate link, you will leave hhsoc.co.uk and be directed to a third-party operator's website, which operates under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of those operators. We also use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, who may process data on our behalf under data processing agreements. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
