Legal Bases for Processing
Badgerlodge.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR. We rely on consent where you have actively opted in — for example, subscribing to our newsletter or accepting non-essential cookies. We rely on legitimate interests to operate our review platform, analyse site performance, and manage our affiliate relationships, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights. Where we are subject to a legal obligation, that obligation forms our lawful basis for the relevant processing activity.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Badgerlodge.co.uk contains links to licensed casino operators, including Bally's Casino, and other third-party platforms. When you click an affiliate link, you will be redirected to the operator's own website, which operates under its own privacy policy — badgerlodge.co.uk is not responsible for how those third parties handle your data. We also integrate third-party analytics services to measure traffic and engagement on our site. These providers may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We require all third-party partners to maintain appropriate data protection standards.

Data Security & Retention
Badgerlodge.co.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure server configurations, encrypted data transmission, and restricted internal access to personal information. We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations. Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised. While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely without risk.
