Privacy Policy

01 About This Website

nkdpizza.ie operates as an independent editorial resource designed to help Irish users compare and evaluate online casino platforms. We do not function as a gambling operator, nor do we accept wagers, manage player balances, or hold any form of gambling licence. Our sole purpose is to deliver well-researched, impartial content that supports informed decision-making.

This Privacy Policy sets out the types of personal data we may collect when you visit nkdpizza.ie, the reasons behind that collection, the ways in which it is processed, and the rights available to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection legislation. By accessing this website, you confirm that you have reviewed and understood the contents of this policy. Should you disagree with any aspect of our data practices, we ask that you stop using the site.

02 Data We Gather

We handle two broad categories of information: data that you voluntarily submit to us, and data that our systems record automatically during your visit.

Voluntarily submitted data:

• Your name and email address when contacting us through a form or direct message
• Any written feedback, enquiries, or comments you choose to share
• Subscription preferences if you sign up for our email newsletter

Automatically recorded data:

• Your IP address along with a general geographic indicator (country or city level)
• Browser type, version, and operating system details
• The pages you access on our site, the duration of each visit, and the sequence of pages viewed
• The referring URL or search engine that directed you here
• Whether you are using a desktop, tablet, or mobile device
• Timestamps for each page request

We do not collect banking credentials, payment card numbers, or any special-category personal data as outlined under GDPR Article 9.

03 Purpose of Data Processing

Information gathered through our website serves the following clearly defined purposes:

• To maintain, operate, and refine the website and the editorial material published on it
• To address and respond to enquiries, support requests, or general feedback
• To study visitor behaviour so that we can improve the site’s usability and content relevance
• To detect, prevent, and respond to potential fraud, abuse, or security threats
• To meet our obligations under Irish and European Union data protection law
• To distribute newsletters or editorial updates exclusively where you have given express consent

We do not engage in automated profiling or algorithmic decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Under no circumstances will we sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing or advertising purposes.

04 Lawful Grounds for Processing

In compliance with GDPR, every instance of personal data processing carried out by nkdpizza.ie rests on one of the following lawful bases:

• Consent: When you actively share information with us — for example by completing a contact form or subscribing to our mailing list — processing is grounded in your freely given consent. You retain the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the legality of processing that took place beforehand.
• Legitimate interests: Technical and analytical data gathered automatically is processed on the basis of our legitimate business interest in understanding how visitors interact with our site and in continuously improving the experience we offer.
• Legal obligation: In limited circumstances, we may be compelled to process or disclose personal data in order to satisfy a legal requirement imposed upon us by a court, regulator, or statutory provision.

05 Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website employs cookies — small data files placed on your device — together with comparable tracking mechanisms. They enable core site functionality, retain your preferences, and allow us to understand usage patterns.

The cookie categories in use on our site are:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to operate correctly. They do not hold personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without impairing basic functionality.
• Analytics cookies: We employ services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised browsing data. This helps us identify which pages attract the most traffic and where navigation can be streamlined.
• Preference cookies: These store choices you have made (such as language or display settings) to deliver a tailored browsing experience on return visits.
• Affiliate cookies: When you click through to an external casino site via one of our links, a tracking cookie may be set by the affiliate network to attribute any subsequent registration or deposit to our referral. No personal data is transmitted back to us through this mechanism.

You may manage or block cookies at any time via your browser settings. Be aware that restricting certain cookies may limit the functionality of some parts of our website. For comprehensive guidance on cookie management, visit allaboutcookies.org.

06 Data Sharing With Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any external party. Limited sharing occurs only in the following defined scenarios:

• Analytics providers: Aggregated and anonymised usage statistics are shared with analytics platforms like Google Analytics to support our understanding of site performance and visitor behaviour.
• Affiliate partners: When you navigate to a casino through a link on our site, that operator may deploy its own cookies and gather data according to its own privacy policy. We bear no responsibility for the data handling practices of third-party gambling operators.
• Legal authorities: We may be obliged to share data with law enforcement, regulatory agencies, or judicial bodies if required to do so by valid legal process or statute.
• Corporate transactions: In the event of a sale, merger, or restructuring involving nkdpizza.ie, your data may transfer as part of that transaction. Advance notice will be provided if this affects how your information is managed.

We strongly recommend that you read the privacy policy of any casino or third-party website you access through links on our pages.

07 Affiliate Revenue Disclosure

nkdpizza.ie earns income through affiliate partnerships. When a visitor follows one of our outbound casino links and goes on to register or deposit at that casino, we may receive a referral commission. This commission is paid entirely by the casino operator and adds no additional cost to you as a player.

These commercial arrangements have no bearing on our editorial judgement. Every casino featured on this site is assessed using a uniform set of criteria covering licensing, bonus quality, game selection, payment methods, and customer support. We will not feature any casino that fails to meet our standards regardless of the financial terms available.

08 Your Privacy Rights

Under the GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Acts 2018, you are entitled to exercise the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access: You may request a complete copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You can ask us to amend inaccurate or incomplete records.
• Right to erasure: Under specific conditions, you may request permanent deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to pause or limit particular forms of data processing.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is automated and consent-based, you may receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You can object to processing that relies on our legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where consent underpins processing, it may be withdrawn at any time without retroactive effect.

To invoke any of these rights, reach out to us using the contact information in Section 13. We commit to responding within 30 calendar days. If our response does not satisfy you, you may lodge a formal complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ireland at dataprotection.ie.

09 Data Storage Duration

Personal data is retained only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was originally collected, or as mandated by law. Our typical retention windows are:

• Contact form submissions and correspondence: up to 24 months from the date received
• Anonymised analytics data: up to 26 months, consistent with Google Analytics default retention settings
• Newsletter subscription records: held until you choose to unsubscribe or request removal
• Affiliate tracking records: kept in line with the relevant affiliate network’s contractual terms

Once data has served its purpose, it is either securely destroyed or irreversibly anonymised. We do not retain personal information beyond what is reasonably justified.

10 Security Measures

We apply proportionate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, modification, or disclosure. Key measures include:

• HTTPS (TLS) encryption enabled site-wide
• Routine security assessments of our infrastructure and internal procedures
• Strict access controls limiting personal data visibility to authorised staff only
• Timely and secure deletion of data that is no longer required

While we take every reasonable precaution, no data transmission method over the internet can be guaranteed to be fully secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach posing a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and the appropriate supervisory authority as required under GDPR.

11 Minors and Age Restrictions

nkdpizza.ie is intended strictly for individuals aged 18 and over. Content related to gambling is inappropriate for minors, and we do not knowingly collect or process data from anyone under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has shared personal information with us, please contact us immediately via the details in Section 13. We will delete any such data without undue delay.

If you are under 18 years of age, please leave this website now and refrain from submitting any personal data.

12 Policy Revisions

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes in our data practices, regulatory landscape, or the services we provide. Whenever a material change is made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this document will be revised.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of nkdpizza.ie following publication of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
