Privacy Policy – Katanaspin
Start playingWho this privacy policy covers
This privacy policy explains how classic-bikes.co.uk (referred to as "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our website. We are an independent information portal that reviews and discusses Katanaspin – we are not the operator itself. This notice concerns only the data we collect through this site, not what the operator collects if you register or play on its platform.
For questions about how this policy applies to your visit here, write to [email protected]. If you have questions about your player account, deposits, withdrawals or gaming activity, those belong with the operator's own support channels.
The short version
We collect minimal personal information. Most of what we gather is technical – your IP address, browser type, pages viewed – logged automatically when you browse the site. If you contact us via email, we store your message and address to reply. We never sell your data, and we share it only with trusted processors (hosting, analytics) who help us run the site.
You have full rights under UK data protection law to access, correct, delete or restrict how we use your information. We keep data only as long as needed, and visitors under 18 are not permitted. Read on for the full detail.
What information we collect
Technical and usage data: When you visit this portal, our server logs your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages visited, time spent on each, and the date and time of your visit. This is standard web-server logging and happens automatically.
Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking tools to remember your preferences and to understand how visitors use the site. These include both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by analytics and advertising partners). You can read more about the specific cookies we deploy in our Cookie Policy.
Contact-form and email data: If you write to us at [email protected], we collect your email address, your name (if you provide it), and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
What we don't collect: We do not collect payment details, identity documents, or any account credentials. Those belong to the operator if you register on its platform – this site has no login system and processes no transactions.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis
We process the technical data above on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a functional, secure website and understanding how it is used. Analytics help us improve navigation and content; security logs help us detect and prevent abuse.
When you contact us by email, we process your message on the basis of your consent (you chose to write to us) and our legitimate interest in replying. Marketing and advertising cookies rely on your consent, requested via the banner you see on your first visit. Necessary cookies (session, security) are exempt from the consent requirement under UK law because the site cannot function without them.
Who else sees your information
We share your data only with trusted third parties who help us operate this site:
- Hosting provider: The server that hosts classic-bikes.co.uk processes your IP address and page requests as part of delivering the site to your browser.
- Analytics services: We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar) to understand visitor behaviour. These services see anonymised or pseudonymised usage data; we configure them to respect your privacy settings where possible.
- Advertising partners: If you consent to marketing cookies, advertising networks may collect data about your visit to show you relevant ads elsewhere online. You can withdraw this consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie banner.
We never sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing. All processors we work with are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
International transfers: Some of the processors above may be based outside the UK or the European Economic Area. Where that is the case, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place – typically standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office – so your data remains protected to UK GDPR standards.
Your rights under UK data protection law
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you the following rights over your personal information:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
| Rectification | Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information. |
| Erasure | Request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful reason to keep it. |
| Restriction | Ask us to stop processing your data temporarily while a dispute is resolved. |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another controller. |
| Object | Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. |
| Withdraw consent | Withdraw consent for cookies or email contact at any time, without affecting prior processing. |
How to exercise your rights
To make a request or ask a question about your data, write to [email protected] with "Data Protection Request" in the subject line. We will respond within one month. In most cases we can handle your request at no charge; if the request is complex or repetitive, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee or ask you to clarify what you need.
Right to complain: If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113 for guidance on how to raise a concern.
How long we keep your data
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above:
- Server logs and analytics data: Typically held for 12–24 months, then anonymised or deleted.
- Email correspondence: Kept for the duration of the enquiry and up to two years afterwards, in case you follow up or we need to refer back.
- Cookies: Duration varies by type – session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies may last up to two years. You can delete them manually at any time.
Once the retention period expires and we no longer have a legal or operational reason to keep the data, we delete it securely or anonymise it so it can no longer identify you.
Protection of minors
This website is intended for visitors aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Households with minors should consider parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content.
Security measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. These include secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is completely immune to risk, but we work to keep your information as safe as practicable.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our practices, or the services we use. When we make significant changes, we will post the revised policy here with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Contact us
For any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your personal data, write to [email protected]. We aim to reply within 48 hours during normal business days.
