Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Shielded Editorial Co. ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you visit shieldedbonushub.world. We are the controller for the limited personal data processed via this website under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who we are

Shielded Editorial Co. is an editorial publisher operating from 18 King William Street, London EC4N 7BP. We do not operate any gambling product ourselves; we publish curated commentary about UKGC-licensed operators and link out to them where readers wish to open an account.

2. Data we collect

When you simply read pages on this site we do not require you to register, submit a form or hand over identifying information. We do log limited technical data through our analytics provider:

• Page paths visited and time on page (aggregated)
• Referrer (the site you arrived from)
• Country-level location derived from your IP address
• Browser family and screen size bucket

Our analytics tooling is configured not to set persistent identifiers or share data with advertising networks.

3. Lawful bases

We rely on two lawful bases under UK GDPR. Where you have given consent through the cookie banner shown on first visit, that consent is our basis for any non-essential cookies. For our underlying legitimate interest in measuring website performance at an aggregated level, we rely on Article 6(1)(f) and balance this against your reasonable expectations as a reader.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small set of first-party cookies and local-storage flags. One records your cookie-banner choice so you are not asked again. Affiliate-link clicks may set short-lived attribution identifiers with the destination operator; those identifiers are governed by the operator's own privacy notice once you arrive on their site. See our Cookie Policy for full detail.

5. Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share limited technical data with:

• Our analytics processor for the aggregation described above
• Our hosting provider, which processes server logs strictly for delivery and abuse prevention

6. Retention

Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 24 months. Server access logs are retained for 30 days unless required longer for security incident investigation.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. Because we do not hold account data for ordinary visitors, in practice most requests will relate to analytics aggregates or to data held by the casinos we link to (in which case you should contact them directly). To exercise a right with us, email privacy@shieldedbonushub.world.

8. Complaints

You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. Substantial changes will be flagged on the home page for at least 30 days.
