1. Scope of this policy
Nexts7Vault is an independent editorial comparison site that reviews licensed UK casinos and publishes related informational content. This policy applies to personal data collected through our website, including information submitted through contact forms, email correspondence, analytics tools and cookie controls. It does not govern the practices of third-party casinos or support providers linked from our pages. When you leave our site, the privacy terms of the external service will apply instead.
2. What we collect
We may collect identification and contact details such as your name, email address and any information you choose to include in a message to us. We also collect technical data that can include IP address, browser type, device information, referral source, pages viewed and approximate session timing. In addition, we may store consent choices connected with our cookie banner and age gate so that the site can remember your preferences when you return.
3. How information reaches us
Some information is provided directly by you when you contact us. Other data is gathered automatically through standard website technologies, including server logs and analytics-style measurements used to understand how readers move through the site. We do not ask users to open gambling accounts through Nexts7Vault, and we do not process deposits, withdrawals or player balances. If you register with an external casino, that operator will collect its own separate information under its own policy.
4. Why we process personal data
We use data to reply to messages, maintain site security, improve navigation, understand which reviews are being read and keep records of consent choices. We may also use limited information to investigate misuse of the site, prevent technical abuse and document changes requested by readers or rights holders. The purpose is editorial and operational rather than transactional. We do not use reader data to run a gambling service and we do not create profiles designed to influence betting or gaming behaviour.
5. Lawful bases under UK GDPR
Our main legal bases are legitimate interests, consent and compliance with legal obligations where relevant. Legitimate interests cover running an editorial website, detecting misuse, improving pages and responding to reasonable enquiries. Consent is used where cookie or similar technologies require a choice before activation. If we are legally required to retain or disclose certain information, we may process it to comply with that obligation. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time, subject to technical limits already explained when the consent was given.
6. Cookies and similar tools
We use cookies and local storage to remember whether you confirmed you are over 18 and whether you accepted or rejected our cookie prompt. We may also use low-level measurement tools to understand which content performs best, how readers reach the site and whether technical errors are affecting access. More detail about these technologies appears in our separate Cookie Policy. That document should be read alongside this one because the two policies work together rather than in isolation.
7. Sharing with third parties
We may share data with service providers that help us host the site, secure the service, monitor performance or manage communications. Those providers are expected to process information only on documented instructions and with appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, court order or a legitimate request from a competent authority. We do not sell reader personal data. We do not share contact details with listed casinos for direct marketing unless you independently choose to contact those casinos yourself.
8. International transfers
Some of our technical suppliers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we aim to use providers that offer recognised safeguards, contractual protections or equivalent measures designed to preserve a comparable level of privacy protection. No method can remove every transfer risk entirely, but we take this issue seriously and avoid unnecessary data movement. If you would like more detail about the transfer mechanisms relevant to your information, you may contact us using the address below.
9. Retention periods
We keep personal data only for as long as it remains useful for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law or justified by a documented operational need. Email correspondence may be retained to maintain an audit trail of editorial corrections, rights requests or legal concerns. Technical logs are usually held for a shorter period unless they are needed for security review. Consent records may be kept long enough to demonstrate compliance with applicable rules or to honour a stored preference.
10. Your rights
Depending on your circumstances and local law, you may have rights to request access to personal data, ask for correction, request deletion, object to certain processing, restrict use, or receive a portable copy where applicable. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully. Before acting on a rights request, we may need to verify your identity to protect the information involved. We will respond within a reasonable period and explain any limits that apply.
11. Age policy
Nexts7Vault is aimed at adults only. Our content relates to real-money gambling and includes an age confirmation mechanism intended to deter underage access. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us promptly so we can review the issue and, where appropriate, remove the data. Parents and guardians should also be aware that external casinos listed on our site operate their own age checks and compliance systems.
12. Changes and contact details
We may update this policy when our practices, suppliers or legal obligations change. The latest version published on the site replaces earlier versions from the date it appears. Material changes will be reflected in the wording of this page rather than hidden elsewhere. For privacy questions, rights requests or concerns about this policy, email dataprotection@nexts7vault.com. General editorial queries can still be sent to contact@nexts7vault.com.
