Privacy Policy

Who we are and scope

This Privacy Policy explains how allworldlists.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you visit or interact with our website and related services (together, the “Service”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and to processing personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) as supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office. This policy applies to visitors in the United Kingdom who are aged 18 or over. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Service.

Data controller and contact

For the purposes of UK data protection law, we act as the controller of personal data described in this policy, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing. You can contact us about privacy matters at info@allworldlists.com. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, although we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns first.

Categories of personal data we process

Depending on how you use the Service, we may process the following categories of data: technical and usage data such as IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time and date of access, and approximate location derived from IP; cookie identifiers and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy; communications data if you email us, including your email address, name if you provide it, and the contents of your message; and limited logs generated for security, fraud prevention, and service reliability. We do not ask you to create an account on the Service for general browsing, and we do not intentionally collect special category data such as health information.

How we collect data

We collect data directly from you when you send us an email or otherwise contact us. We collect technical data automatically when you load pages, through server logs, analytics tools where you have consented to their use, and through cookies and similar technologies in line with your choices. When you follow outbound links to third-party gambling operators or other sites, those organisations collect data under their own policies; we do not control their processing.

Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases under UK GDPR: to operate, deliver, and secure the Service, including troubleshooting and abuse prevention, based on our legitimate interests in running a safe and reliable website, and where necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering a contract (for example responding to an enquiry); to analyse aggregated or pseudonymised usage to understand readership and improve content layout, based on legitimate interests, or where required on the basis of your consent for non-essential analytics cookies; to comply with legal obligations such as responding to lawful requests from public authorities; to communicate with you when you contact us, based on legitimate interests and, where applicable, on the basis that processing is necessary to perform a contract or pre-contract steps; and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary.

Marketing and affiliate measurement

We may use affiliate tracking parameters in outbound links so that operators or networks can attribute referrals. That processing may generate aggregated reports of clicks and conversions. Where such technologies involve non-essential cookies or similar storage, we will rely on consent where required. We do not sell your personal data. We do not send unsolicited direct marketing emails unless you have opted in where such consent is required.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies as explained in our Cookie Policy, including strictly necessary cookies required for core functionality and, where you consent, preference and analytics cookies. You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how the Service functions.

Sharing and recipients

We share personal data with service providers who assist us with hosting, infrastructure, security monitoring, email delivery, and analytics, under written contracts that require them to protect personal data and process it only on our instructions. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, us, or others. If we reorganise or transfer assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

International transfers

Our hosting and service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom. Where we transfer personal data to countries not subject to an adequacy decision under UK law, we implement appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, standard contractual clauses approved for use in the UK, or another lawful transfer mechanism, together with supplementary measures where required by risk assessment.

Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Server logs and security records may be retained for limited periods consistent with security needs. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to respond and resolve issues, and for a reasonable additional period to manage disputes. Cookie retention periods are set out in the Cookie Policy.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we encourage you to use updated browsers and devices and to protect your own credentials when you use third-party services.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, subject to conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to access your personal data, request rectification of inaccurate data, request erasure, request restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, request data portability where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You may exercise these rights by contacting us. We will respond within one month, extendable in complex cases as permitted by law.

Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you in relation to the Service.

Children

The Service is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we publish a new version. Material changes may be highlighted on the Service where appropriate. Continued use after updates constitutes notice of the revised policy where permitted by law.
