Privacy policy – rizk-de.com.de
This privacy policy applies to Rizk — specifically to the independent information portal at rizk-de.com.de, which is run separately from the operator's own platform. It explains who is responsible for your personal data on this site, what we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you hold under UK law.
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller for rizk-de.com.de is the editorial team behind this portal. We are not a gambling operator, bookmaker, or gaming platform — we publish information and marketing content about Rizk for readers in the UK. Any data you share with us stays with us and is handled under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. If you have questions about how your data is handled here, write to us at [email protected].
What reaches us when you visit
We collect two broad categories of information on this portal.
The first is technical and usage data gathered automatically when you browse. This includes your IP address (in truncated form), browser type, device type, the pages you visit on this site, and the time and duration of your visit. This data is collected via analytics scripts — see the section on third parties below.
The second is information you send us directly. If you contact us via the email address on our contact page, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We do not operate a registration system, an account portal, or a payment mechanism of any kind — so no financial data, no passwords, and no identity documents ever reach this portal.
Why we process your data and on what legal basis
We process technical and usage data to understand how readers find and use this site — which pages perform well, where readers arrive from, and how the site can be improved. The lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in operating a functional, useful editorial site. Where analytics involve non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent, obtained via our cookie banner before any tracking begins.
We process contact-form and email data solely to respond to your enquiry. The lawful basis is either our legitimate interest in managing editorial correspondence, or — where you have asked us to take a specific action — the performance of a task at your request.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Who else sees your data
We share data with a small number of third-party processors who help us run this site:
- Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) — receive anonymised usage data to help us measure site performance. Data is processed under a data-processing agreement and is not used to identify you personally.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers — our web host processes server logs and technical data as part of delivering the site. These providers are contractually bound to handle data securely.
- Advertising partners — if display advertising runs on this site, ad networks may set their own cookies. Consent is sought before those cookies are placed.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We do not share it with the Rizk operator or with any gambling platform.
Some processors are based outside the UK. Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place — such as the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations — before any transfer occurs.
Your rights under UK GDPR
As a UK resident you hold a full set of rights over your personal data. You may exercise any of the following at any time by writing to [email protected]:
- Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure — request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful basis to keep it.
- Right to restriction — ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where processing is based on consent or contract.
- Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interest, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to withdraw consent — where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
We aim to respond to all data rights requests within one calendar month. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority: the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
How long we keep your data
Technical and analytics data is retained for as long as our analytics provider's standard retention period, or until you withdraw consent — whichever is sooner. Email correspondence is kept for as long as it remains relevant to an active enquiry, and deleted once that matter is resolved unless a legal obligation requires otherwise. We do not retain data longer than necessary.
Protection of minors
This portal covers content related to gambling, which is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly. Parents and guardians can reduce the risk of minors accessing gambling-related content by using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy when our practices change or when legal requirements demand it. The date at the foot of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be flagged prominently on the site. Continued use of rizk-de.com.de after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
