Privacy Policy

Information collected when you browse

Before you submit anything through a form or contact channel, browsing the review pages alone generates technical and usage data that this policy covers. That includes your IP address, browser and device details, the pages you open, clicks, time spent on a page, and the site that referred you. Some of this is collected automatically, while contact details such as your name or email address are only captured when you choose to provide them through a message, feedback form, or support request.

All of this material is handled for a narrow set of purposes: keeping the website running, responding to messages, protecting against abuse, improving navigation, and measuring how the review content performs. Aggregated information may also be used to understand how visitors engage with the casino reviews and the informational pages, so the material can be kept relevant and clear.

How your data is used

Each category of collected data serves a defined function. Contact details allow the project to reply to questions and requests. Technical data supports security and helps the site function correctly across different devices and browsers. Usage data is used to assess which pages are useful and which parts of the site may need adjustment. Communication records are kept so that past correspondence can be referenced if a follow-up is needed.

Data is never used for purposes outside those described here. Promotional communication, where it occurs, is only sent to users who have indicated they want it, and an opt-out is always available. No information is repurposed for unrelated marketing or sold to outside parties.

Cookies and browser settings

Cookies and similar technologies are used to remember preferences, keep the website functioning, analyse traffic patterns, and improve the experience of returning visitors. Some cookies are essential to the operation of the site, while others measure page performance and visitor behaviour so that content can be refined.

You can review or restrict cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, delete existing ones, or set the browser to ask before a new cookie is stored. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use, and the settings menus in most modern browsers include a privacy or security section where these options are found. If you disable cookies, the website will still load, but certain features that rely on stored preferences may not work as intended.

Sharing of information

Personal data is not sold, rented, or traded. Sharing occurs only with trusted service providers, and only where it is necessary for website hosting, analytics, technical support, security, communication tools, or legal compliance. Any transfer of data to a third party is limited to what the specific purpose requires, and nothing more is disclosed than is needed to complete that task.

Where a service provider handles data on behalf of the project, the provider is expected to apply its own safeguards and to use the information only for the agreed purpose. No third party receives data for its own independent use.

Protection of your data

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are applied to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or loss. These measures include restricted access to stored data, secure infrastructure, system monitoring, and controlled handling of anything submitted through forms or support channels. The level of protection is reviewed as circumstances change, and adjustments are made where appropriate.

No online environment can guarantee absolute security. While the safeguards described here are considered reasonable, transmission of information over the internet carries inherent risk, and users should be aware that a complete guarantee of security cannot be provided.

Responsible gambling content

Limited interaction data may be processed in connection with responsible gambling materials. This is used to understand how visitors engage with safety-related content, to keep educational resources clear and accessible, and to improve the quality of that information. The processing is intended to support safer and better-informed use of gambling-related material, and it does not extend beyond that purpose.

Readers who are concerned about their gambling habits are encouraged to use the support resources referenced on the website. Self-exclusion and other protective measures are matters for the individual player and the operator they deal with, and this website does not administer those processes.

Your rights over your data

Depending on applicable rules, you may request access to the personal data held about you, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, seek deletion where appropriate, or request that certain processing activities be restricted. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and you may opt out of promotional communications at any time.

Requests of this kind can be made through the contact options available on the website. A reasonable time is taken to verify the identity of the requester and to respond to the request, and the outcome will be communicated once the matter has been assessed.

How long information is kept

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for website operation, communication, security, recordkeeping, analytics, or legal obligations. The retention period for each category of data is determined by the purpose it serves: contact records are kept while a correspondence is active, usage data is held for the period needed to assess content performance, and security-related data is kept for as long as it may be required to investigate an incident.

When data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, it is deleted, anonymised, or securely archived. Anonymised data, which can no longer be linked to an individual, may be retained for analytical purposes.

Information relating to minors

The website is intended for adults of legal gambling age. It is not directed at minors, and the project does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone below the age of majority. If it comes to attention that information has been provided by a minor, the data will be deleted without undue delay, and the minor's parent or guardian is encouraged to make contact through the available channels so that the matter can be resolved quickly.

External websites

The website contains links to third-party sites, including casino operators, software providers, support organisations, and informational resources. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, and this policy does not apply once you leave the website. Pelican casino is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites, and visitors should review the policies of those sites independently before providing any personal information.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in how the website operates or in the standards applied to data handling. Revised versions take effect once they are published on this page, and the date of the latest revision will be indicated here. When a change is made, the updated policy replaces the previous version in full.

Visitors are encouraged to check this page periodically so that they remain aware of current practices. Continued use of the website after an update is posted may be treated as acceptance of the revised policy. Where a change is significant, notice may be given through the website itself.

Contact

Questions about privacy, personal data, or this policy can be submitted through the contact options made available on the website. The project aims to respond to enquiries within a reasonable time, and requests relating to data access, correction, or deletion will be handled in accordance with the rights described above.
