Privacy Policy

01 About This Website

tcgsolutions.co.uk is an independent casino comparison and review platform designed to help Irish players identify reputable online casinos. We are not a gambling operator, and we do not accept wagers, manage player accounts, or hold any gambling licence. Our purpose is entirely informational: we research, test, and evaluate online platforms so that you can make well-informed decisions before registering anywhere.

This Privacy Policy explains how tcgsolutions.co.uk collects and handles personal data when you use our website. It sets out what we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you hold under applicable Irish and EU data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have concerns about any aspect of this policy, please read it carefully before continuing to use the site.

02 Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information: data you provide us directly, and data gathered automatically as part of normal website operation.

Data you provide directly:

• Your name and email address when you use a contact form or reach out to us by email
• The content of any message, query, or feedback you submit
• Newsletter subscription preferences, if you choose to sign up for updates

Data collected automatically:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location (typically at country or city level)
• Browser type, version, and operating system in use at the time of your visit
• Pages you view, the sequence in which you navigate the site, and the time spent on each page
• The referral source that brought you to our site (e.g. a search engine, a social media platform, or a direct link)
• Device category (desktop, mobile, or tablet)
• Date and time of each visit

We do not collect financial data, payment card details, or any special category personal data as defined under Article 9 of the GDPR.

03 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To keep the website running smoothly and to improve its content, structure, and usability
• To respond to messages, enquiries, or support requests you send us
• To understand visitor behaviour and identify which content is most useful, so we can make informed editorial decisions
• To detect and prevent abuse, fraudulent activity, or any misuse of our platform
• To meet our obligations under applicable law and regulation
• To send newsletters or editorial updates, strictly where you have opted in to receive them

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or behavioural profiling. We will not sell, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party for commercial or marketing purposes.

04 Legal Basis for Processing

The GDPR requires us to identify a lawful basis for each type of data processing we carry out. We rely on three primary grounds:

• Consent: When you voluntarily provide your details — for example, by completing a contact form or subscribing to our newsletter — we process that data on the basis of your freely given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, without any negative consequences.
• Legitimate interests: Technical and analytical data collected automatically is processed under our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used and making it more useful and accessible to visitors. We only do so where this interest is not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Legal obligation: Where we are required by law or valid legal order to retain or disclose data, we will do so in compliance with our legal obligations.

05 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, tcgsolutions.co.uk uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — as well as comparable tracking technologies. These enable core website functionality, help us understand visitor behaviour, and support our affiliate marketing activity.

We use four types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function at a basic level. These cannot be disabled and do not store personally identifiable information.
• Analytics cookies: Tools such as Google Analytics help us understand how visitors interact with the site in aggregate, without identifying individuals. This data informs ongoing improvements to content and navigation.
• Preference cookies: These remember settings or choices you make during your visit, such as display preferences, to provide a more consistent experience.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you follow one of our outbound casino links, a cookie may be set to record that click for commission attribution purposes. No personally identifiable data about you is passed to us through this process.

You can review and manage cookie settings through your browser at any time. Disabling certain cookies may limit how some parts of the site function. For general guidance on cookie management, visit allaboutcookies.org.

06 Sharing With Third Parties

We do not sell or trade your personal data. In limited circumstances, we share data with the following categories of third party:

• Analytics providers: Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics may be processed by services such as Google Analytics to help us assess site performance.
• Affiliate casino operators: When you follow a link from tcgsolutions.co.uk to an external casino, that casino operates independently and processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for how third-party sites handle your information.
• Regulators and legal authorities: We may disclose data to law enforcement agencies or regulatory bodies if we are required to do so under applicable law or by a valid court order.
• Successors in business: If tcgsolutions.co.uk is transferred, acquired, or restructured, relevant data may form part of that transfer. We will provide advance notice if such a change affects how your personal data is processed.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you reach through links on our platform.

07 Affiliate Disclosure

tcgsolutions.co.uk earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you follow one of our casino links and subsequently register or make a qualifying deposit, we may receive a commission from the casino operator. This payment is made by the casino and does not affect the price, bonus, or terms offered to you as a player in any way.

We are transparent about the fact that these relationships exist. They do not influence which casinos we recommend or how we evaluate them. Every platform reviewed on this site is assessed against the same set of criteria — licensing status, bonus structure and wagering terms, game quality, payment options, and customer support responsiveness. We do not feature casinos that fail to meet our editorial standards, regardless of commercial incentive.

08 Your Data Rights

Under the GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Acts 2018, you have a range of rights in relation to your personal data. These include:

• Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Right to erasure: In certain circumstances you have the right to request deletion of your personal data from our systems.
• Right to restrict processing: You may ask us to limit how we use your data in specific situations.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You may object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will respond within 30 calendar days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ireland at dataprotection.ie.

09 How Long We Keep Your Data

We hold personal data only for as long as is necessary for the original purpose of collection, or as required by law. Our standard retention periods are:

• Contact and enquiry records: retained for up to 24 months from the date of receipt
• Anonymised analytics data: retained for up to 26 months, consistent with standard Google Analytics defaults
• Newsletter subscription data: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Affiliate tracking data: retained in accordance with the terms agreed with affiliate network partners

Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. We do not retain personal data beyond what is reasonably necessary for our operations.

10 How We Protect Your Data

We apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or unlawful disclosure. Our measures include:

• HTTPS (TLS) encryption applied across all pages of the website
• Regular review of our technical infrastructure and security practices
• Access to personal data limited strictly to personnel who need it to carry out their role
• Prompt and secure deletion of data that is no longer required

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet transmission can be guaranteed to be fully secure. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required under the GDPR.
