1. Who controls the data
RoyalReelBazaar operates as an independent editorial comparison website available at royalreelbazaar.co.uk. For the purposes of the UK GDPR, the retained EU GDPR where relevant, and the Data Protection Act 2018, RoyalReelBazaar acts as the controller of personal data collected through this website. Questions about this policy, data use, or data rights may be sent to info@royalreelbazaar.co.uk.
RoyalReelBazaar is not a gambling operator and does not open player accounts, process payments, or receive identity documents used by casino operators for know-your-customer checks. When a visitor leaves this site and joins a third-party casino, the destination operator becomes responsible for the personal data collected on its own website under its own privacy policy.
2. What data may be collected
RoyalReelBazaar keeps data collection narrow. Depending on how the site is used, the following categories of information may be processed: basic technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location inferred from IP routing, referring page, pages viewed, and timestamps; cookie and local storage preferences that record age-gate confirmation and cookie choices; message content and contact details if a visitor emails the site; and aggregated performance data that helps show whether content is being read and whether page elements function properly.
The site does not ask visitors to create an account. It does not invite the upload of identity documents, payment cards, bank details, or gambling history. Visitors should not send special category personal data or sensitive financial information through general contact channels unless such disclosure is genuinely needed for a specific request.
3. Why data may be used and the legal bases
Personal data may be processed for several legitimate and limited reasons. Technical data may be used to keep the site available, secure, and readable across devices. Preference data may be used to remember whether a visitor has completed the age gate and how that visitor responded to the cookie banner. Contact information may be used to reply to editorial questions, legal requests, or notices concerning site content. Aggregated analytics may be used to understand which pages are useful and where navigation or page speed needs work.
The legal bases for this processing usually include legitimate interests, where RoyalReelBazaar has a reasonable interest in running a stable editorial service; consent, where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used and where the law requires opt-in choice; and legal obligation, where retention or disclosure is needed to comply with applicable law, a court order, a regulatory request, or a lawfully framed complaint.
4. Cookies, local storage, and similar tools
RoyalReelBazaar uses a small number of on-device storage tools. Essential local storage keys record whether the visitor confirmed being 18 or over and whether the visitor accepted or declined the cookie notice. Those settings help prevent the age screen and consent banner from appearing again on every page load. The names used at the time of writing are RoyalReelBazaar_age and RoyalReelBazaar_cookies.
Where basic measurement tools are used, they are intended to show broad behaviour rather than identify named individuals. Examples may include page impressions, device breakdown, entry pages, and the route visitors take through the site. More detail about cookies and storage tools appears in the separate cookies policy.
5. Affiliate links and third-party destinations
This site contains affiliate links. When a visitor clicks one of those links, the destination operator or a marketing partner may record that the visit came from RoyalReelBazaar. That tracking may involve referral codes, cookies, or similar routing methods controlled by the third party. RoyalReelBazaar does not control how a casino or affiliate network handles personal data after a visitor leaves this site.
Before registering with a third-party casino, visitors should review the destination site’s privacy policy, terms and conditions, responsible gambling controls, and promotional rules. Third-party sites may collect far more information than RoyalReelBazaar, including payment details, identity verification documents, location data, and transactional history.
6. Sharing of personal data
RoyalReelBazaar does not sell personal data. Data may be shared only where there is a clear reason to do so, such as with site hosting providers, analytics providers, spam filtering or security vendors, legal advisers, insurers, or authorities where disclosure is required by law. Any service provider engaged to support the operation of the site is expected to act only on appropriate instructions and to use suitable confidentiality and security controls.
If the website or its editorial assets were ever transferred as part of a sale, merger, or business reorganisation, personal data relevant to the operation of the site could be transferred to the new operator, subject to continued lawful handling and notice where required.
7. International transfers
Some technical suppliers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, RoyalReelBazaar aims to use service providers that offer lawful transfer safeguards, such as adequacy regulations, contractual protections, or another recognised mechanism under applicable data protection law. A transfer does not reduce the expectation that data will be handled with care, limited purpose, and sensible security.
8. Retention
Data is kept only for as long as it is reasonably needed. Local storage choices remain on the visitor’s device until removed by the visitor, overwritten by later choices, or cleared through the browser. Contact emails may be kept for as long as needed to answer the query, manage any follow-up, document editorial corrections, or meet a legal duty. Security and server logs may be kept for a limited period to investigate abuse, diagnose faults, and protect the site from misuse.
Where there is no longer a valid reason to keep personal data, it will be deleted, anonymised, or securely suppressed, taking into account the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.
9. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, visitors may have the right to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, data portability, and withdrawal of consent where consent was the lawful basis. Rights are not absolute and may be limited by law, but each request will be considered carefully and answered within a reasonable period.
To exercise a right, email info@royalreelbazaar.co.uk with enough detail to identify the request. If identity verification is reasonably needed before releasing data, only the minimum information required for that purpose will be requested.
10. Security
No website can promise absolute security, though RoyalReelBazaar aims to apply proportionate technical and organisational measures appropriate to an editorial site of this type. Those measures may include access controls, hosting safeguards, limited data collection, software maintenance, and review of third-party services. Visitors should also protect themselves by using up-to-date browsers, avoiding public devices for private communication, and thinking carefully before sending personal information by email.
11. Children and age restriction
RoyalReelBazaar is intended only for adults aged 18 or over. The site includes an age gate and does not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children. If there is reason to believe that personal data relating to a child has been provided to the site, contact should be made immediately so that the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
12. Complaints and changes to this policy
If a visitor believes personal data has been handled unfairly, the first step should be to contact RoyalReelBazaar so the issue can be examined properly. Visitors in the UK also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if they believe their data protection rights have been infringed.
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal developments, site changes, or shifts in the tools used to operate the website. The version published on this page is the version currently intended to apply. Last updated: 16 June 2026.
