Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how wedrifters.co.uk ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website. We're committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

By using our site, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you don't agree with any part of it, please don't use the site.

Who We Are

We are Fast Withdraw Casinos Ltd, a private limited company registered in England & Wales under company number 14568392. Our registered office is at 36 St George Street, Mayfair, London, W1S 2FW, United Kingdom.

We operate the editorial website wedrifters.co.uk, which publishes reviews and analysis of UK-licensed online gambling operators. We are the data controller for information collected through this website.

What Information We Collect

We collect and process several categories of personal data:

Information you provide directly. When you contact us via email, submit a comment, or otherwise interact with the site, we collect the information you share — including your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, we automatically collect certain technical information — including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general geographic location (country and region only, not precise location).

Cookies and similar tracking technologies. We use cookies to improve site functionality and understand how visitors use the site. See the Cookies section below for details.

Information from third parties. Where you sign up to a UK operator through one of our affiliate tracking links, the operator may share limited conversion information with us (typically a hashed identifier confirming that a signup occurred, without personal details).

How We Collect Information

We collect information through several channels:

• Direct submission when you contact us or interact with the site
• Server logs that automatically record technical information about site visits
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies
• Third-party analytics tools (Google Analytics)
• Affiliate tracking systems where you follow tracked links to partner sites

Why We Process Your Information

We process personal data for these purposes:

To operate the website. Basic technical data is essential to serve pages, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

To respond to your enquiries. When you contact us, we use your provided information to reply to your message.

To improve the site. We analyse aggregate usage patterns to understand which content is useful and where the site could be improved.

To track affiliate conversions. Where readers sign up to partner operators through our tracked links, we use hashed conversion data to understand which content drives referrals.

To comply with legal obligations. We retain certain information as required by UK tax law, accounting standards, and other applicable regulations.

Legal Basis Under UK GDPR

We process personal data under one of these legal bases, depending on the context:

• Legitimate interest — for basic site operation, analytics, and understanding reader behaviour in aggregate
• Consent — for non-essential cookies and any direct marketing communications (where applicable)
• Contractual necessity — where you've entered into a specific agreement with us
• Legal obligation — for records we're required to maintain under UK law

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to make the site work properly and to understand how visitors use it. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.

Essential cookies. These are necessary for the site to function properly. They handle things like remembering your cookie preferences and maintaining session integrity.

Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate visitor behaviour — which pages get read, how long visitors stay, where they come from. These cookies collect anonymised statistical information.

Affiliate tracking cookies. When you click a link to a partner operator, tracking cookies may be set to attribute that referral. These help us understand which content is useful without collecting personal information beyond the tracking pixel itself.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may cause parts of the site to function poorly. Blocking analytics and tracking cookies won't affect core site functionality.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:

• Email correspondence: Retained for up to 3 years after last contact, then archived or deleted
• Server logs: Rotated automatically, typically retained for 90 days
• Analytics data: Retained according to Google Analytics standard settings, typically 14-26 months
• Financial records: Retained for the period required by UK tax law (typically 6 years)

Who We Share Your Information With

We don't sell your personal information. We share limited data with these categories of third parties:

Service providers. We use third-party services for essentials like hosting, analytics, email delivery, and website security. These providers have access to personal data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

Affiliate partners. Where you follow tracked links to UK-licensed operators, limited technical data (typically a hashed identifier) is shared to enable conversion tracking. We don't share your name, email, or personal details with affiliate partners.

Legal authorities. Where we're required by law, we may disclose information to law enforcement, regulators, or courts responding to lawful requests.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are based outside the UK. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure adequate protection through:

• UK adequacy decisions (for transfers to specific countries)
• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office
• Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms

The primary international transfer relates to Google Analytics data processing.

Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

You have several rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification. Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

Right to erasure. Request deletion of your data, subject to legitimate exceptions.

Right to restrict processing. Ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

Right to data portability. Request your data in a portable format that allows you to transfer it to another controller.

Right to object. Object to certain types of processing, particularly for direct marketing purposes.

Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

Rights related to automated decision-making. We don't currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We'll respond within one calendar month. For complex or numerous requests, we may extend this by up to two additional months and will notify you if we do.

We may ask for identification to verify your identity before responding to certain requests. This is to protect your data from being accessed by third parties.

Marketing Communications

We don't currently operate a marketing newsletter or send unsolicited promotional emails. If we introduce such a service in future, participation will be opt-in only, and you'll be able to unsubscribe at any time.

Security of Your Information

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include SSL encryption for data in transit, restricted access to systems containing personal data, regular security reviews, and staff training on data protection principles.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. We aim for a reasonable standard of protection appropriate to the sensitivity of data we handle.
