Privacy policy for the Golden Lion review portal
This notice covers the data goldenlion-online.uk collects about you as a visitor to our independent review portal about Golden Lion Casino. It does not cover what happens once you leave our site and register on the operator's own platform – that relationship is governed by the operator's own privacy policy, not ours. We are 18+ only, and this page explains what we do with your information in plain terms.
Who is responsible for your data
goldenlion-online.uk acts as the data controller for information collected through this site. We decide what is gathered, why, and how long it is kept. We are not Golden Lion LTD, the company behind the casino itself, and we hold none of the account data a player would generate by depositing, playing or withdrawing on the operator's platform.
What reaches us
Two kinds of data pass through this site. The first is technical: your IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed, gathered automatically as you browse. The second is anything you submit yourself, chiefly through our contact form – your name, email address and the content of your message.
- Technical and analytics data – collected passively, in aggregate
- Cookie identifiers – covered separately in our cookie policy
- Contact-form submissions – name, email, message text
- Approximate location inferred from IP address, where analytics tools provide it
We never ask for payment details, identity documents or account credentials on this site – those belong solely to the operator's own registration and verification process.
Purposes of processing
We use this data to run the site properly: keeping pages loading correctly, understanding which content readers find useful, and replying to questions sent through the contact form. Analytics data also helps us spot which sections of a review need updating. None of it is used to build advertising profiles beyond standard analytics and, where enabled, marketing cookies you've consented to.
Lawful basis
| Activity | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Running and securing the site | Legitimate interest |
| Analytics cookies | Consent |
| Marketing and advertising cookies | Consent |
| Responding to contact-form messages | Legitimate interest / consent given by submitting the form |
Sharing with third parties
We share data with the tools that keep the site running – analytics providers and hosting infrastructure, chiefly. We never sell personal data, and we don't hand it to Golden Lion or any other operator we write about. Where a third-party script sets its own cookie, our cookie policy names the category it falls into.
Your rights under UK GDPR
As a UK resident, you have several rights over the data we hold on you:
- Access – ask what we hold about you
- Rectification – correct anything inaccurate
- Erasure – request deletion where there's no reason to keep it
- Restriction – limit how we use it while a query is resolved
- Portability – receive your data in a portable format
- Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdrawal – withdraw consent for cookies at any time
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours. If you're unhappy with how we've handled a request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, the independent supervisory authority for data protection in the UK.
How long we keep it
Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to resolve your query, then deleted. Analytics data is typically retained in aggregate form for statistical purposes and doesn't identify you individually after a limited period.
Protecting minors
This site, and the gambling content it discusses, is restricted to adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact [email protected] and we'll remove it promptly.
Changes to this notice
We may update this policy as our tools or practices change. The current version applies from the date shown below, and material changes will be reflected here rather than announced separately.
Last updated: 26 November 2025.
