Legal Bases for Processing
Ukhemp.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We rely on your consent where we place non-essential cookies or send you direct marketing communications — you may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting prior processing. For operational activities such as website analytics, fraud prevention, and affiliate tracking, we rely on our legitimate interests as a commercial review publisher, having balanced those interests against your rights and found no overriding prejudice to your privacy. Where required by law, we will also process data to fulfil a legal obligation.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Ukhemp.co.uk contains links to licensed casino and gambling operators, including those reviewed on our platform. When you click an affiliate link, you will leave ukhemp.co.uk and enter a third-party website governed by that operator's own privacy policy. We earn referral commissions through these partnerships, and affiliate tracking cookies may be placed on your device. We also use third-party analytics providers — such as Google Analytics — to help us understand site usage. These providers may process your data on servers outside the UK; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place. Ukhemp.co.uk is not responsible for the privacy practices of any external websites or operators.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below. We will respond within 30 days in accordance with UK GDPR requirements. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your rights have been infringed.
Data Security & Retention
Ukhemp.co.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), restricted staff access, and regular security reviews. We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. Contact enquiries are typically retained for up to 24 months; newsletter subscriber data is held until you unsubscribe; and analytics data is retained in line with the cookie retention periods described above. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
