Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2026

acetc.co.uk ("we", "us", "our") is an affiliate website providing information and reviews of non-GamStop, Curacao-licensed casino sites. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Important: This website is intended for users aged 18 and over. Please gamble responsibly. If you need help, visit GamCare or BeGambleAware.

Information We Collect

We may collect and process the following types of information:

• Contact details – your name and email address if you contact us directly or subscribe to communications;
• IP address – collected automatically for security, fraud prevention, and analytics purposes;
• Cookies and similar technologies – small data files stored on your device (see our Cookie Policy section below);
• Usage data – pages visited, time spent on site, referral source, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location.

We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Analyse website traffic and user behaviour to improve our content and user experience;
• Track affiliate referrals – when you click a link to a third-party casino, tracking cookies or parameters may attribute your visit to us so we can receive commission;
• Monitor and improve the performance, security, and functionality of the website;
• Respond to your enquiries and provide customer support;
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Our lawful bases for processing include legitimate interests (analytics, affiliate tracking, site improvement), consent (where required for non-essential cookies), and legal obligation.

Cookie Policy

We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies – required for the website to function correctly;
• Analytics cookies – help us understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., Google Analytics);
• Affiliate/tracking cookies – set when you click outbound links to casino operators, allowing referral attribution;
• Functional cookies – remember your preferences, such as cookie consent choices.

Opting out: You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via our cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics via Google's opt-out tool. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to third-party casino operators and affiliate partners, including casinos licensed in Curacao that are not part of the UK GamStop scheme. These third parties operate independently, and we have no control over their websites, content, or privacy practices.

When you click a third-party link, any personal data you provide on that external site is governed by that site's own privacy policy, not ours. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any casino or third-party website before registering or sharing personal information. We accept no responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of third parties.

Please be aware that non-UKGC-licensed casinos are not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and different consumer protections may apply.

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
• Rectification – request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Erasure – request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten");
• Restriction – request that we limit how we process your data;
• Data portability – receive your data in a structured, commonly used format;
• Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing;
• Withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority: the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

For visitors outside the UK: If you are located in the EU/EEA, equivalent rights apply under the EU GDPR. US residents (e.g., California under the CCPA/CPRA) may have additional rights, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal data.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Analytics and usage data: up to 26 months (aggregated or anonymised thereafter);
• Contact/enquiry data: up to 24 months after the last communication;
• Affiliate tracking data: as required for commission attribution and accounting, typically up to 7 years where needed for tax and legal compliance.

Once retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
