This Privacy Policy explains how Hash Spins (hashspins.com) collects, uses, shares, stores, and protects personal data when you visit our website, interact with our content, contact us, sign up to receive updates, or otherwise engage with our services.
Hash Spins is an editorial and informational website focused on gambling, crypto gambling, casinos, bonuses, games, providers, guides, and related content. We are not a gambling operator. We do not open gambling accounts, accept wagers, hold player funds, or process gambling transactions.
This policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you may have under applicable data protection laws.
We aim to handle personal data in line with the core principles reflected in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, and accountability.
1. Who We Are

language and general location derived from IP;
referring URLs and pages viewed;

Where affiliate tracking is used, we may receive limited information relating to referrals, clicks, campaign performance, or conversions attributed to links on our site. We do not seek or need access to your gambling account credentials, payment card details, or crypto wallet private keys.
4. How and Why We Use Personal Data
We use personal data only where we have a valid reason to do so. Depending on the context, we may use your information to:
operate, maintain, and secure the website;
respond to enquiries, support requests, business proposals, and advertising requests;

monitor website performance, usage, and engagement;
troubleshoot technical issues and prevent abuse, spam, fraud, or misuse;
manage affiliate relationships, referral attribution, and related reporting;
improve our content, rankings, reviews, guides, and user experience;
comply with legal obligations, requests from authorities, or enforcement needs;
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more lawful bases for processing personal data, depending on the purpose involved.
Consent
We rely on consent where appropriate, including for example when:
you subscribe to a newsletter or email updates;
you consent to non-essential cookies or similar technologies;
you choose to provide optional information through a form.
You may withdraw consent at any time, although this will not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.
Legitimate interests
We may process personal data where it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include:
running and improving the website;
measuring content performance and audience engagement;
securing the website and preventing abuse;
handling business, advertising, and editorial enquiries;
managing our affiliate and commercial operations responsibly.
Legal obligation
We may process personal data where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
Contract or pre-contract steps
Where you contact us in relation to services, advertising, listings, or commercial arrangements, we may process your information to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform contractual obligations.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand user behaviour, improve performance, and support affiliate attribution or advertising measurement.
These technologies may fall into categories such as:
strictly necessary – required for core site functionality, security, or network management;
preferences – used to remember settings or choices;
analytics – used to understand website traffic and performance;
marketing / attribution – used to measure campaigns, affiliate referrals, or advertising effectiveness.
Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing or using non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our cookie consent tools. Blocking certain cookies may affect how the website functions.
7. Newsletter and Direct Marketing
If you subscribe to our newsletter or otherwise opt in to receive updates, we may send you editorial updates, casino review announcements, bonus alerts, promotional content, or related marketing communications.
We will only send such communications where permitted by applicable law and, where required, based on your consent.
You can unsubscribe at any time by:
clicking the unsubscribe link in a marketing email; or
contacting us using the details in this policy.
We may retain limited suppression information to ensure we respect your opt-out request and do not send further marketing communications in error.
8. Affiliate Links, Tracking, and Third-Party Operators
Hash Spins contains links to third-party websites, including casinos, gaming platforms, service providers, and other commercial partners. Some of these links may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive compensation if you click through and take a qualifying action.
If you click a third-party link, that third party may collect personal data and use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy practices. We do not control those external websites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or compliance.
You should review the privacy policy, terms, bonus rules, and responsible gambling information of any third-party operator before registering, depositing funds, or otherwise using that service.
9. How We Share Personal Data
We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of the term. We may, however, share personal data where necessary with trusted third parties such as:
website hosting and infrastructure providers;
content management, development, and maintenance providers;
analytics and performance tools;
email delivery and newsletter platforms;
anti-spam, fraud prevention, and security providers;
affiliate platforms, attribution providers, and advertising partners;
professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, or auditors;
regulators, law enforcement, courts, or public authorities where required by law;
prospective buyers or successors in the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or business transfer.
Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we expect them to act under appropriate contractual and security obligations.
10. International Data Transfers
Because some of our service providers, partners, or technical systems may operate internationally, personal data may be transferred to or accessed from countries outside your own jurisdiction.
Where data protection law requires it, we will take appropriate steps to protect such transfers, which may include:
adequacy decisions;
standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards;
other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable law.
11. Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, regulatory, security, dispute, and record-keeping purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why we collected it. As a general guide:
contact enquiries may be retained for as long as needed to respond and follow up, and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping;
newsletter and marketing data may be retained until you unsubscribe or until the data is no longer needed for that purpose;
suppression records may be kept to ensure we honour unsubscribe requests;
security logs and technical records may be retained for fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and system integrity;
contractual or transaction-related records may be kept for longer where required by law or for legal defence.
When personal data is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it in a form that limits further use.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to:
request access to the personal data we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances;
request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
request data portability where applicable;
avoid being subject to certain forms of solely automated decision-making where the law provides that protection;
lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.
If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, these rights may apply to you under the GDPR or UK GDPR, subject to legal conditions and exemptions.
If you want to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
If you are in the United Kingdom, you may also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). If you are in the European Economic Area, you may contact your local supervisory authority.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests where this is necessary to protect personal data.
13. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the internet and third-party services at your own risk.
14. Children and Age-Restricted Content
Hash Spins is intended for adults only. Because our website covers gambling-related content, it is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age, or under the legal age applicable in their jurisdiction.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it where required.
15. Comments and User Content
If commenting or other user-generated features are enabled on the website, any information you choose to post may become publicly visible.
Please do not submit sensitive personal data, payment details, account credentials, wallet keys, or other confidential information through public fields or comments.
We may use moderation, spam detection, and abuse prevention tools in connection with user-submitted content.
16. Third-Party Content and Embedded Features
Some pages may include embedded content or external features, such as videos, widgets, social sharing tools, or links to third-party platforms. These third parties may collect information about your interaction with the embedded content, including through cookies or similar technologies.
Your use of those third-party features is subject to the privacy practices of the relevant provider.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, operational, or business changes.
When we do, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of the page. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
