Privacy notice for lysti-casino.fi
This privacy notice explains how Lysti-casino.fi – an independent information and review portal – handles personal data when you use this site. We are not the casino operator; we publish editorial content about online gaming platforms for readers in the UK. The operator runs its own site with its own privacy terms; what follows concerns only the data you share with us here.
Who controls your data
The data controller for lysti-casino.fi is the editorial team managing this portal. You can reach us at [email protected]. We determine how and why personal information collected through this site is processed, and we are responsible for keeping it secure under UK data protection law.
What information we collect
We gather two broad categories of data: information you provide directly, and technical data your browser sends automatically.
Data you give us: When you submit a contact form or send an email to our support address, we receive your name, email address, and whatever you write in the message field. We do not ask for payment details, identity documents, or account credentials – we have no reason to, since we do not operate player accounts.
Data we observe: Like most websites, this one logs technical information sent by your device – your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you visit, the time you spend on each, and the site that referred you here. We collect this through server logs and through analytics scripts (detailed in the Cookies section).
Why we process your data and the lawful basis
We use personal information for these purposes, each grounded in a legal basis under UK GDPR:
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Answering queries sent to [email protected] | Legitimate interest (running an editorial service requires reader communication) |
| Monitoring site performance and usage patterns | Legitimate interest (understanding how readers engage with content helps us improve it) |
| Serving advertising and measuring its effectiveness | Consent (collected via the cookie banner when you first visit) |
| Complying with legal obligations (e.g. responding to valid law-enforcement requests) | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interest, we have assessed that the processing is necessary for our editorial operations and that your rights are not overridden by it. Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us.
Who else sees your information
We share personal data with the following categories of third party, and only to the extent necessary for the purpose stated:
- Analytics providers: Google Analytics processes anonymised usage data to show us which pages readers visit and how they navigate the site. No personally identifiable detail leaves our control in a form that names you individually.
- Advertising networks: If you consent to marketing cookies, ad-tech platforms may receive a hashed identifier and behavioural signals to serve relevant ads. You control this through the cookie banner.
- Hosting and infrastructure: The server that delivers this site to your browser is managed by a third-party hosting provider. Server logs containing IP addresses pass through their systems as part of normal operation.
- Email service: Messages sent to [email protected] are delivered and stored through an email hosting provider; they see the sender address and message content in order to route the email.
We do not sell personal data to anyone. We do not hand mailing lists to brokers. Where a processor handles data on our behalf (hosting, email), we ensure they are bound by a contract requiring them to keep it secure and use it only as we direct.
International transfers
Some of the third parties named above operate servers outside the UK. Where personal data leaves the UK, we rely on adequacy decisions (for EEA and certain other jurisdictions recognised by the UK government as offering equivalent protection) or on standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office. You have the right to request a copy of the safeguards in place; contact [email protected] for details.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:
- Access: ask for a copy of the information we hold.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure: request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue holding it.
- Restriction: limit how we use your data while a dispute or verification is ongoing.
- Portability: receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another controller (applies to data processed by automated means under consent or contract).
- Object: stop processing based on legitimate interest, or stop direct marketing at any time.
- Withdraw consent: where consent is the legal basis, you can withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
None of these rights is absolute – sometimes we must balance them against other legal obligations or legitimate needs – but we will always explain our reasoning if we cannot fully comply with a request.
How to exercise your rights
Send your request to [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month, though complex requests or high volumes may require an extension (we will tell you if that happens). You will not be charged a fee unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data or how we respond to a request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Server logs and anonymised analytics data are typically kept for 12–24 months, after which they are deleted or fully anonymised. Email correspondence is kept for as long as the conversation remains relevant (usually no more than two years), then deleted. If you ask us to erase your data, we will do so within 30 days unless a legal obligation requires us to keep it longer.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information to us, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly. If you share a device with a minor, consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content.
Changes to this notice
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will update the date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a notice on the site. Continued use of lysti-casino.fi after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
