Privacy Policy

Managing Your Information

Before you submit any form, contact the editorial team, or sign up for notifications on this website, take a moment to review how your personal data will be handled. This policy explains what information Griffon collects when you visit, the reasons behind each type of collection, and the safeguards that apply. The practices described here cover the review pages, editorial content, and any interactive features available through the site.

Data We Collect

Two broad categories of information pass through the website. The first is data you actively supply. When you use a contact form, request support, or participate in a survey, you may be asked for your name, email address, or the content of your message. The second category arrives without any direct action on your part. As you move through the pages, the site automatically records technical details such as your browser type, operating system, language preferences, the address that referred you, the pages you view, and aggregated usage statistics.

Some of this technical data is collected through cookies and similar technologies, which are described in more detail below. Neither category is treated as a single block; the purpose for which each piece of data is used determines how long it is kept and who may access it.

Why Each Category Is Used

The information you provide through forms serves a direct purpose. Your name and email address allow the editorial team to respond to your query, while the message content itself defines the subject of that response. Without these details, a meaningful reply would be impossible.

Technical and usage data serves a different set of needs. Browser type and operating system help the team diagnose display problems and ensure pages render correctly across devices. Language settings allow the site to present content in a format you can read comfortably. Referral sources reveal which external pages bring visitors to the site, which informs decisions about partnerships and content placement. Viewed pages and usage statistics show which reviews and articles attract attention, guiding future editorial priorities.

Beyond these content-related uses, the same technical data helps maintain the website itself. Monitoring visitor behaviour allows the team to identify broken pages, resolve technical faults, and detect patterns that suggest misuse or automated abuse. The presentation of review materials is also refined based on how visitors navigate the information.

Cookie Controls

Griffon uses cookies, pixels, and similar tools to recognise returning visitors, measure how well pages perform, remember preferences you have set, and understand the way users move through the site. These tools help distinguish a first-time visitor from a regular reader, which in turn allows the site to load efficiently and present relevant content.

You do not need to accept every cookie. Most browsers include settings that let you review which cookies are stored, block new ones, or delete existing ones after each session. The exact steps vary by browser, but the controls are typically found under a privacy or security section in the settings menu. You can also browse in a private or incognito mode, which prevents cookies from being stored beyond the current session.

Disabling cookies does not stop you from reading the reviews, but it may reduce the quality of certain functions. Preferences may not be remembered between visits, and some features that rely on recognising returning users may behave differently. The editorial content itself remains fully accessible.

Information Relating to Minors

The website is intended for adult readers who are of legal age to engage with gambling-related information in their jurisdiction. The content is not directed at minors, and Griffon does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a minor has submitted personal data through the site, they are encouraged to raise the matter through the contact channels listed on the website so that the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

When Information May Be Shared

Griffon does not sell personal data. Disclosure is limited to a narrow set of circumstances. Trusted third parties involved in hosting, analytics, security monitoring, communications, and maintenance may receive information, but only to the extent needed to perform those specific services. Such parties are expected to process the data solely for the authorised purpose and not to repurpose it for their own ends.

Disclosure may also occur where required by law, regulation, or legal process. In addition, information may be shared when necessary to protect the integrity of the website itself, such as in response to a security incident or an attempt to disrupt the service.

Security Measures

Griffon applies practical safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, accidental loss, or improper disclosure. These measures include access restrictions that limit who within the operation can view submitted data, secure storage arrangements for the information held, internal monitoring of how data is handled, and controlled procedures for processing the material that users submit.

No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed as completely secure. The safeguards in place are intended to reduce risk to a reasonable level, but they cannot eliminate it entirely. Users should be aware that submitting information over the internet always carries some inherent risk.

Responsible Gambling Context

Where relevant, certain interactions or submitted information may be considered in connection with responsible gambling content, user protection concerns, or safety-related communications. This means that if a visitor raises a question about problem gambling, self-exclusion, or support services, the information provided may be used to direct them toward the appropriate guidance. The purpose of this processing is to support responsible engagement with gambling information and promotional materials, not to encourage further play.

Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask to review the personal information associated with you. You may also request corrections if the data held is inaccurate, request erasure when it is no longer needed for the purposes described here, or ask to limit some of the uses outlined above. Before any action is taken, the site may require you to confirm your identity, which helps prevent unauthorised access to your data.

These rights are not absolute. In some situations, such as where the data is needed to meet a legal obligation or to resolve a dispute, a request may not be fully granted. Where a request is refused, the reasons will be explained.

Retention Periods

Data is stored only as long as reasonably needed for website administration, legal obligations, security records, dispute handling, or legitimate operational needs. The exact duration depends on the type of information and the purpose it serves. Once the need has passed, the information may be removed, anonymised, or archived under internal procedures. Anonymised data, which can no longer be linked to you, may be kept for analytical purposes.

External Websites

Griffon may refer readers to outside websites for information or related services. These external sites operate under their own privacy rules, and Griffon is not responsible for how they collect or use personal data. Once you leave this website, the protections described in this policy no longer apply. It is advisable to review the privacy notice of any external site before providing personal information.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be amended at any time to reflect business, legal, or technical changes. The current version shown on this page is the version that applies at the time of use. Significant changes will be reflected in the updated text, and continued use of the website after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Contact

Any privacy question, request, or concern can be sent through the communication methods listed on the website. The team will respond within a reasonable time and will address the matter raised, whether that involves explaining a practice, correcting a record, or investigating a potential issue.
