1. Who we are
CrownLedger (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a trading name of Ledger Index Media Ltd, Company No. 15098431 (England & Wales), with a postal address at 4th Floor, Albion Wharf House, 27 Ducie Street, Manchester, M1 2JW, United Kingdom. We operate this website as an independent casino comparison and referral service. For the purposes of UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us about any privacy matter at desk@crownledgeruk.com.
2. What information we collect
CrownLedger is a content website and does not require you to create an account to read it. The information we may process falls into three categories. First, information you give us voluntarily — for example, if you email us, we will hold your email address and the contents of your message. Second, technical information collected automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view and the time of your visit. Third, information from cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
3. Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off. With your consent, we may use analytics cookies that help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and we may use affiliate-tracking cookies that record when a visit to a partner operator originated from one of our links, so the operator can correctly attribute any commission due to us. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time; doing so may affect how parts of the site function.
4. Why we use your information (lawful bases)
We process your information only where the law allows. Where you contact us, we rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and on taking steps at your request. Where we use analytics and affiliate cookies, we rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time. Where we must keep records to meet a legal or accounting obligation, we rely on compliance with a legal obligation. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal effects about you.
5. Affiliate links and third parties
When you click a link to an operator, you leave CrownLedger and enter that operator’s website, which has its own privacy policy and its own UKGC licence. We are not responsible for how third-party operators handle your data, and we do not receive your account details, deposits or gameplay information from them. We may receive aggregated or anonymised reporting that tells us a referral was successful, but this does not identify you personally to us.
6. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us run the website — for example, hosting providers and analytics services — and only to the extent they need it to perform their service for us. We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law, by a regulator, or to protect our legal rights. Any provider we use is required to keep your information secure and to use it only as instructed.
7. How long we keep it
We keep email correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and a reasonable period afterwards. Technical and analytics data is retained for a limited period in line with our analytics settings and then deleted or anonymised. Where we must keep records for legal or accounting reasons, we keep them for the period the law requires and no longer.
8. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to be informed about how your data is used, to access a copy of the data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have your data erased in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability where it applies. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it. To exercise any of these rights, email us at desk@crownledgeruk.com. We will respond within the timeframes set by law.
9. Children
This website is intended only for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited personal information we hold against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information appropriately.
11. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to put things right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be made clear on the site.
