Privacy Policy
Elite Royale Empire (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal data when you use eliteroyalempire.com (the “Site”), which serves adults in the United Kingdom seeking independent information about licensed gambling operators and promotional offers. It should be read together with our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller responsible for personal data processed through the Site is the publisher identified on the Contact section of the Site. For privacy enquiries, data subject requests, and complaints, email info@eliteroyalempire.com. We will respond within reasonable timescales required by UK GDPR, typically within one month, subject to extensions permitted by law for complex requests.
Categories of personal data we process
- Technical and usage data: IP address (which may indicate approximate location), browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, HTTP status, and similar server log fields generated when you request pages or assets. This information helps us operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site.
- Communications data: if you email us, we process your email address, message content, attachments you choose to send, and metadata needed to communicate with you and maintain a record of correspondence.
- Preference and consent records: where stored using cookies or similar technologies (for example age gate confirmation during a session, or cookie banner choices), as described in our Cookie Policy.
Purposes and lawful bases
We process personal data where necessary to perform steps at your request prior to entering into or performing our relationship with you as a visitor (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR), where necessary for our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional website and understanding aggregated usage patterns that do not override your rights (Article 6(1)(f)), where necessary to comply with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)), and where we rely on consent for specific processing—such as certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies where consent is required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) (Article 6(1)(a)).
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage as explained in the Cookie Policy. Essential technologies may be strictly necessary to run the Site or remember choices integral to your session. Non-essential categories will not be activated without appropriate consent where required. You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, understanding that blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect functionality.
Recipients and processors
We use trusted service providers acting as processors under written agreements—such as hosting, email delivery, security, and backup vendors—who process personal data only on our instructions. We require appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We do not sell your personal data in the conventional sense of exchanging data for money. If we introduce analytics or advertising partners that access personal data, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain consent before activation.
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards—such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy regulations—unless an exception applies. You may request further information about safeguards by contacting us.
Retention
Server logs and security telemetry are retained on rolling cycles aligned with incident investigation needs and hosting practices, then deleted or aggregated where feasible. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to resolve your query and for reasonable archival periods consistent with legal, regulatory, or limitation periods. Cookie retention periods are described in the Cookie Policy and depend on each cookie’s purpose.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including access controls, encrypted transport where standard for web traffic, and vendor diligence. No online transmission is completely secure; you share information at your own risk beyond what we reasonably control.
Your rights
Subject to conditions in UK GDPR, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or contract. You may withdraw consent where processing is consent-based without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve concerns promptly.
Children
The Site is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe we have processed such data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Automated decision-making
We do not use solely automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you in relation to the Site’s editorial content.
Third-party operators
When you follow outbound links to gambling operators or affiliate landing pages, those organisations become independent controllers of personal data they collect. Review their privacy notices before providing personal or financial information.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. Material changes will be indicated by updating this page; continued use after posting constitutes acknowledgment unless applicable law requires a different mechanism.
