This privacy policy explains how dovetaileddesigns.co.uk collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. We take your data seriously and handle it in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Basswin is the operator we review. This policy covers our own portal, not the casino itself — for questions about your player account or gaming data, contact the operator directly.
Who controls your data
dovetaileddesigns.co.uk is the data controller for information you provide through this site. We decide why and how your data is processed. You can reach us at [email protected] with any questions about this policy or your rights.
What information we collect
We gather two kinds of data: what you actively share with us, and what we observe as you browse.
Information you provide: When you use our contact form or subscribe to updates, we collect your name, email address and any message content you submit. We do not process payment details, account passwords or identity documents — those belong to the operator, not to us.
Technical information: Like most sites, we log your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral source and session duration. This helps us understand how people use the site and where our content needs work.
Cookies and tracking: We use cookies to remember your preferences and measure site performance. Read our cookie policy for the full breakdown of what is stored and how to control it.
Why we process your data
We use the information above to run the site, answer your questions, improve our content and measure which pages are useful. Specifically:
- Respond to contact-form submissions and support requests
- Send updates or newsletters when you have opted in
- Analyse traffic patterns and popular content
- Detect and prevent misuse, spam or technical abuse
- Comply with legal obligations where they apply
We do not use your data to build marketing profiles, and we do not sell it to third parties. Analytics help us write better reviews — nothing more.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, every use of personal data needs a lawful reason. Ours are:
Legitimate interests: Running an independent information portal and improving its content. We balance this against your rights — if our interest would harm you, we do not proceed.
Consent: For cookies beyond the strictly necessary ones, and for any email updates you sign up for. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in messages.
Legal obligation: Where UK law requires us to retain or disclose information, for example in response to a valid court order.
Who else sees your data
We share information with a small number of processors who help us run the site. These include:
| Category | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Store site files and serve pages | UK or EU-based server provider |
| Analytics | Measure traffic and behaviour | Google Analytics, with IP anonymisation enabled |
| Deliver messages and updates | Transactional email service |
Every processor is bound by a data-processing agreement and must protect your information to the same standard we do. We do not transfer data outside the UK or EU unless the recipient country offers adequate protection under UK GDPR.
We will never sell, rent or trade your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have significant control over your information. The rights below apply whenever we hold data about you, and most of them are free to exercise:
Access: Request a copy of everything we hold about you, in a readable format. We will respond within one month.
Rectification: Ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
Erasure: Request deletion of your data when we no longer have a valid reason to keep it, or when you withdraw consent. Some records must be retained for legal reasons — we will explain if that applies.
Restriction: Tell us to stop processing your data while a dispute is being resolved, without deleting it entirely.
Portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format, or have it sent directly to another controller where technically feasible.
Object: Refuse processing based on legitimate interests, or opt out of direct marketing at any time.
Withdraw consent: Change your mind about cookies or emails whenever you like. This does not affect any processing that happened before you withdrew.
How to exercise your rights
Email [email protected] with your request. We will ask you to confirm your identity before releasing or changing personal data — this protects you as much as us. Most requests are handled within one month; complex cases may take two months, and we will tell you if that happens.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator. Visit ico.org.uk to lodge a concern or call their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
We hold information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected. Contact-form messages are kept for two years unless you ask for earlier deletion. Analytics logs are retained for 26 months, then automatically purged. Email addresses on our mailing list stay until you unsubscribe.
Some records must be kept longer to meet legal or regulatory obligations — for example, correspondence related to a complaint. We will always tell you if a longer retention period applies to your request.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under that age. If you believe a child has shared information with us, contact [email protected] immediately and we will delete it.
Gambling content and casino reviews are not suitable for minors. Parents and guardians should use filtering software — tools like Net Nanny or Qustodio — to block access on shared devices.
Changes to this policy
We review this privacy policy regularly and update it when our practices change or when UK law requires it. The current version was last revised on 6 January 2026. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of the page for 30 days, and we will notify active subscribers by email where appropriate.

Questions about how we handle your data? Email [email protected] and we will respond within 48 hours. For account or gaming queries, contact the operator directly using the channels published on their own site.
Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). Your privacy matters to us — for free, confidential support with gambling concerns, visit BeGambleAware.org.
