1. Who we are
Pixelb8Vault is an editorial comparison site that reviews and compares licensed UK casino brands. We are not a gambling operator, we do not process player deposits, and we do not run customer gambling accounts. This policy applies to information collected through pixelb8xvault.com, including page views, contact forms, cookies and related technical logs. When you click through to a casino or another external website, that third party applies its own rules and privacy notice. Our policy does not replace theirs.
For privacy questions or data requests, email privacy@pixelb8xvault.com. We prefer direct language on this page because data rights should not depend on guesswork.
2. Data we collect
We may collect information you choose to send us, such as your name, email address and message when you contact the site. We also collect limited technical information automatically when the site is used. That may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral source, approximate region derived from IP, page views and interaction events such as scroll depth or button clicks. Some of this information comes from server logs. Some of it may come from cookies or comparable technologies if consent has been given.
We do not ask for bank details, identity documents or casino account passwords. If you send unnecessary sensitive information to us, we may delete it where appropriate rather than keep it by default.
3. How we use information
We use contact details to answer questions, review correction requests, respond to compliance concerns and keep an editorial record of correspondence. Technical data helps us secure the site, diagnose faults, understand which pages are genuinely useful and improve layout decisions. Cookie-related data may also be used to remember consent preferences and measure broad traffic behaviour when that measurement is allowed.
Our use of data is tied to running an editorial website responsibly. We are not building gambling behaviour profiles, and we are not acting as a hidden operator database.
4. Legal basis
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on different grounds depending on the situation. Consent may apply to non-essential cookies and to information you intentionally submit through a form. Legitimate interests may apply to security, site administration, fraud prevention, audience measurement and editorial record-keeping, provided those interests do not override your rights. We may also process information where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
If consent is the basis, you may withdraw it later. That does not invalidate earlier processing that was lawful at the time.
5. Cookies and local storage
Pixelb8Vault uses cookies and local storage to remember whether an adult visitor has confirmed the age prompt and whether the cookie banner has been accepted or declined. These tools reduce repeated prompts and help basic site behaviour. If you choose to accept optional cookies, analytics tools may also help us understand general traffic and reading patterns. Further detail appears in the separate Cookie Policy.
You can manage cookies through our banner and through browser settings. Blocking certain storage may reduce convenience, but it should not stop you reading the site.
6. Sharing with third parties
We may share information with service providers that support hosting, analytics, email handling, security or maintenance. Those providers should process information only for the relevant service and under appropriate controls. We may also disclose data where required by law, where necessary to investigate misuse, or where needed to protect our rights, users or the public.
We do not sell your direct correspondence to unrelated companies for their own marketing. Affiliate tracking may identify that a referral came from our site, but it does not give the casino operator your private email to us.
7. International transfers
Some suppliers may store or process information outside the UK. Where that happens, we aim to use providers that can explain their compliance position and support appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual protections. International transfer risk cannot honestly be described as zero, but it can be managed and questioned.
If you want further detail about a transfer basis used by the site, contact privacy@pixelb8xvault.com.
8. Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it remains useful for the purpose collected, or for as long as law, security or dispute handling requires. Contact emails may be retained for a reasonable period so we can track correspondence, deal with follow-up points and maintain an editorial record. Technical logs are usually retained for shorter periods unless they are needed for a security review or an abuse investigation.
When information is no longer needed, we aim to delete it, anonymise it or reduce its identifiability rather than keep it indefinitely.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for access to personal data, request correction, seek erasure, object to certain processing, request restriction or obtain portability where the law provides that right. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority if you believe your information has been handled unlawfully. We may need to verify identity before fulfilling a request so that data is not disclosed to the wrong person.
Rights requests can be sent to privacy@pixelb8xvault.com. If a request is unusually broad, we may ask for clarification first.
10. Age policy
Pixelb8Vault is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children. The site uses an age confirmation prompt to reinforce that position, although an age gate alone is not perfect proof of age. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will investigate promptly.
Because the site covers gambling, adult-only access is part of our compliance posture, not decorative wording.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. No website can promise flawless security, and no transmission over the internet is entirely risk-free. What we can do is treat security as an ongoing responsibility rather than a line copied into a footer.
If a personal data incident occurs and notification is required by law, we will take the steps that law requires.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy to reflect legal, technical or operational changes. The latest version will always appear on this page. If you have questions, concerns or a request relating to your information, write to privacy@pixelb8xvault.com. Clear requests are easier to resolve quickly, so include the relevant page or issue if possible.
This policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy and the broader site information available on the contact and terms pages.
