Legal Bases for Processing
Googlenaut.co.uk processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our legal bases for processing include: consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you provide when accepting non-essential cookies or submitting a form; legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)), which we rely on for analytics, affiliate tracking, and site security, provided such interests are not overridden by your rights; and legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) where processing is required to comply with UK regulatory requirements. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have conducted a balancing test to ensure your fundamental rights are respected.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Googlenaut.co.uk is a review and information website that contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators, including Ice Casino. When you click on an affiliate link, you will be redirected to the operator's own website, which operates under its own privacy policy and data practices — Googlenaut.co.uk has no control over data collected by those third-party sites. We also work with analytics providers such as Google Analytics to understand site traffic; these providers may process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

Data Security & Retention
Googlenaut.co.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures — including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

Contact form data is generally retained for no longer than 24 months. Analytics data is retained in anonymised or aggregated form.
