1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how fortunesclock.co.uk approaches privacy for visitors from the United Kingdom and other European Union countries. The website is operated as an informational resource and does not offer gambling services or real-money gaming.

The site is designed to respect your privacy from the outset. It does not collect, store, or track personal data, and it has been structured to align with the principles of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

For any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact the site operator by email at [email protected].

2. Data Controller

The data controller is the operator of fortunesclock.co.uk, reachable at [email protected].

Given the nature of the site, the data controller does not actively collect personal data, does not build user profiles, and does not engage in any form of behavioural tracking.

3. Scope and Legal Framework

This Privacy Policy applies to all visits to fortunesclock.co.uk from within the United Kingdom and the European Union.

The site is aligned with the requirements of:

• UK GDPR, as overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK
• EU GDPR, as applicable to users located in EU Member States

The policy covers the handling of personal data, even though the website is intentionally configured not to collect personal data or use cookies.

4. Nature of the Website

fortunesclock.co.uk is an informational website that provides general content related to casino and gaming topics in a purely educational and explanatory manner.

Key characteristics of the site:

• It is not an online casino, betting site, or gambling operator
• It does not facilitate deposits, wagers, or account creation
• It does not provide mechanisms for user interaction such as comments, forums, or chat features

All content is intended as general information only and should not be treated as financial or gambling advice.

5. No Collection of Personal Data

The website has been intentionally developed so that visitors can browse the content without sharing any personal data.

The site:

• Does not provide registration or login features
• Does not offer contact forms, feedback forms, or surveys
• Does not ask visitors to submit names, email addresses, telephone numbers, postal addresses, or any other identifying details

Because there are no forms or interactive features, no personal data is collected, processed, or stored as part of normal site use.

If you choose to contact the site operator by email at [email protected], any personal information you include in your message will be processed solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. That email correspondence will be handled in line with UK GDPR and EU GDPR requirements, but it is separate from the operation of the website itself.

6. No Cookies or Similar Technologies

fortunesclock.co.uk does not use cookies of any kind.

This means:

• No analytics cookies
• No session or login cookies
• No advertising or tracking cookies
• No pixels, fingerprinting tools, or similar tracking technologies

Because there are no cookies, the site does not generate cookie banners, pop-ups, or preference panels. Visitors can browse content without needing to manage cookie settings.

7. No Third-Party Embedded Content

The website does not embed or load content from third-party services.

In particular:

• No embedded videos (e.g. YouTube or other platforms)
• No external maps services
• No social media plugins or share buttons
• No externally hosted fonts such as Google Fonts

By avoiding third-party content, the site reduces the risk that external providers might collect data about visitors, and supports a privacy-first browsing experience.

8. Technical Access Data

The site is hosted on standard web infrastructure, and routine technical logs may be generated by the hosting provider to maintain the security and stability of the service.

These logs typically contain:

• The date and time of access
• The page or resource requested
• Technical information about the browser or device used

Such data is not used by the site operator to identify visitors and is not combined with other information to create profiles. Any logging is carried out for security, maintenance, and fraud prevention purposes under legitimate interest as recognised by UK GDPR and EU GDPR, and is generally retained only for the period necessary to ensure the integrity of the service.

The operator does not have direct access to IP addresses beyond what is provided in anonymised or aggregated form for routine hosting administration.

9. Legal Basis for Processing

Because fortunesclock.co.uk does not collect personal data through its website, there is no ongoing processing of personal data in the usual sense under UK GDPR or EU GDPR.

If you choose to contact the operator by email, the legal basis for processing any personal data you voluntarily provide includes:

• Legitimate interest: to respond to your enquiry and maintain appropriate correspondence
• Legal obligation: where retention of communications is required under applicable laws or regulatory guidance

No email-based data is used for marketing or profiling, and you will not receive newsletters or promotional messages as a result of a single enquiry.

10. No Profiling or Automated Decision-Making

The website:

• Does not conduct profiling of visitors
• Does not perform automated decision-making
• Does not segment users based on behaviour or location

All visitors have access to the same informational content, and no personal characteristics are inferred or tracked.

11. International Data Transfers

The site is intended for users in the United Kingdom and the European Union.

The operator does not intentionally transfer personal data outside the UK or the EU through the website, because personal data is not collected on the site. If email correspondence is handled using standard email services, those services may involve infrastructure located in different jurisdictions, but the operator will seek to use providers that apply appropriate safeguards as required under UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

12. Data Retention

Since fortunesclock.co.uk does not collect personal data through its content pages, there is no routine retention of personal data linked to browsing activity.

For email communications sent to [email protected]:

• Messages are retained only for as long as needed to handle and document the enquiry
• Retention periods may be influenced by legal or regulatory obligations under UK law and relevant EU standards
• When information is no longer required, it may be archived or deleted in line with reasonable business practices and applicable legislation

No marketing databases, mailing lists, or user accounts are maintained.

13. Your Rights Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR

Even though the website does not intentionally collect personal data, you retain rights under UK GDPR and EU GDPR with respect to any personal information that might be processed, for example through email contact.

These rights may include:

• Right of access to personal data held about you
• Right to rectification of inaccurate personal data
• Right to erasure in circumstances defined by law
• Right to restriction of processing
• Right to object to certain forms of processing
• Right to data portability where applicable

To exercise any of these rights in connection with email correspondence or other interactions, you can contact the data controller at [email protected]. Any request will be reviewed in line with UK and EU data protection law and responded to within applicable statutory timeframes.

14. Children’s Privacy

fortunesclock.co.uk is intended for an adult audience seeking general informational content about casino-related topics. It is not aimed at children.

The site:

• Does not promote gambling or allow participation in gambling activities
• Does not knowingly collect personal data relating to children
• Does not offer features that encourage registration or ongoing engagement by minors

If a communication is received from a child that includes personal data, the operator will handle it responsibly and in accordance with relevant legal standards.

15. Security and Integrity of the Service

The website is maintained with a focus on stability and security. Standard technical and organisational measures are applied by the hosting environment to protect against unauthorised access, misuse, or disruption.

Because no user accounts or personal data repositories are maintained, the overall risk exposure in terms of personal data is very low. The operator nevertheless remains committed to keeping the site functioning reliably for visitors from the UK and EU.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, regulatory guidance in the UK or EU, or adjustments to how the website operates.

When the policy is revised, the updated version will be made available on this page. Visitors are encouraged to review the Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about the current approach to privacy.

For any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the handling of personal information in relation to fortunesclock.co.uk, please contact [email protected].
