Privacy Statement

Last updated:

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Statement explains how the website slotravecasino.ie (the “Website”, “we”, “us”) collects, stores, uses and discloses personal data, in line with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the General Data Protection Regulation — “GDPR”) and the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018, which give further effect to the GDPR in Irish law. It sets out the information we are required to give you under Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR.

The Website is an independent information and affiliate site that publishes reviews, guides and commentary about the Slotrave gaming platform for readers in Ireland. We are not a gambling operator: we do not open player accounts, hold funds, accept deposits or bets, process payments or verify players’ identities. Those activities are carried out solely by the operator of the Slotrave platform, a separate company based outside Ireland, which is the controller of any personal data you give it under its own policies. For any question about this Statement, contact us at support@slotrave.com.

2. Personal Data We Collect

In keeping with the principle of data minimisation (Article 5(1)(c) GDPR), we only collect the personal data strictly necessary for the Website’s editorial activity, obtained lawfully and fairly, directly from you or your device. The data we may collect is limited to:

Technical and browsing data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type (computer, tablet or phone), language settings, screen resolution, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of access.
Information stored through cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage), as described in our Cookie Statement.
Information you choose to give us when you contact us by e-mail — your e-mail address, your name if you provide it, and the content of your message.

We do not collect special categories of data (Article 9 GDPR), financial data or identity documents, and we never ask you to create an account on this Website. You can browse without identifying yourself.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases (Article 6 GDPR)

We process personal data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes, relying on the legal bases set out in Article 6(1) GDPR:

Running and securing the Website — delivering content, keeping it technically stable and preventing and detecting abusive or fraudulent use: legitimate interests (point (f)).
Replying to enquiries you send us by e-mail: our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us (point (f)) and, where relevant, steps taken before entering into a contract (point (b)).
Aggregated, non-identifying statistics about how the Website is used, only if you accept the relevant cookies: consent (point (a)), which you can withdraw at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Complying with legal obligations that apply to us under Irish or European Union law: legal obligation (point (c)).

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects, we do not carry out profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, and we do not sell personal data.

4. Cookies

The Website uses a small number of cookies and localStorage entries. Where information collected through these technologies could reasonably identify you (for example, an IP address combined with browsing activity), we treat it as personal data under this Statement, the GDPR and the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011). Full details of what we set, why, and how you can accept, reject or delete cookies are in our Cookie Statement.

5. Sharing Data and International Transfers

We do not sell personal data or pass it to third parties for their own marketing. We may share limited technical data with service providers who host, maintain or analyse the Website, acting as processors under a contract that meets Article 28 GDPR and only for the purposes described in this Statement. We may also disclose data to public authorities where the law requires it.

Some of our providers may be based outside the European Economic Area. In that case, any international transfer of data complies with Chapter V GDPR (Articles 44 onwards): we only transfer data to countries covered by a European Commission adequacy decision (Article 45) or subject to appropriate safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (Article 46), supplemented where needed by additional technical measures. You can ask us about the safeguards in place using the contact details below.

6. How Long We Keep Data

In line with the storage limitation principle (Article 5(1)(e) GDPR), we keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes it was collected for, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. As a guide: technical and browsing data is kept for up to 12 months; e-mail correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up; cookie and localStorage data is kept for the periods set out in the Cookie Statement. When the relevant period ends, the data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

7. Security and Data Breach Notification

We apply the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by Article 32 GDPR to protect personal data against unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access, including TLS encryption of connections to the Website, restricted access to the correspondence we keep, data minimisation and reliable hosting infrastructure.

If a personal data breach is likely to result in a risk to people’s rights and freedoms, we will notify the Data Protection Commission, where feasible within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, as required by Article 33 GDPR. Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to the people concerned, we will also tell them without undue delay, in line with Article 34 GDPR, together with advice on the steps they can take.

8. Your Rights and Complaints to the Data Protection Commission

As a data subject, you have the following rights, which you can exercise free of charge:

Right of access (Article 15 GDPR): to confirm whether we process data about you and to get a copy of it;
Right to rectification (Article 16): to correct inaccurate data or complete incomplete data;
Right to erasure (Article 17): to have your data deleted in the circumstances set out in law;
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18): to limit processing in certain circumstances;
Right to data portability (Article 20): to receive the data you gave us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where processing is based on consent or a contract;
Right to object (Article 21): to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interests;
Right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3)): at any time, without affecting processing carried out before then.

To exercise any of these rights, write to us at support@slotrave.com. We will reply within one month, which may be extended by two further months for particularly complex requests (Article 12 GDPR).

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish supervisory authority, the Data Protection Commission, 21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28 — dataprotection.ie. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concern first, so please contact us beforehand.

9. Children (18+)

The Website, and the gambling services described on it, are intended only for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor has given us personal data, we will delete it without delay. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has contacted us can write to support@slotrave.com and we will act immediately.

10. Changes to This Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes in the law, guidance from the Data Protection Commission or the European Data Protection Board, or changes to the Website itself. The current version is always published on this page, with the date of the latest update shown above. Significant changes will be highlighted on the Website where practicable.
