Minedrop Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 2026 — UK GDPR CompliantTrusted by thousands of UK players for transparent data practices
At Minedrop, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy applies to your use of minedropslot.uk only. It does not cover the privacy practices of third-party casinos we link to — please read their own privacy policies before registering or depositing.
If you have any questions, contact us at: [email protected] or via our Contact page.
Who We Are
minedropslot.uk is an independent information and affiliate website about the Minedrop slot game. We are operated by the site owner as a data controller for all personal data processed through this website.
We are not a casino operator, do not accept deposits, and do not process player accounts. Our role as data controller is limited to the data collected through your use of this Site.
Data Protection contact: [email protected]
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by phone on 0303 123 1113.
What Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal data in two ways: data you provide directly, and data we collect automatically.
Data Collected Automatically
When you visit minedropslot.uk, the following data is collected automatically:
- IP address (anonymised before storage where analytics are concerned)
- Device information — browser type, operating system, screen resolution
- Usage data — pages visited, time on page, navigation path, session duration
- Referral source — how you arrived at the Site (search engine, direct, referral)
- Cookie identifiers — see our Cookie Policy for full details
Data You Provide Directly
minedropslot.uk does not require registration or account creation. However, if you contact us by email, we will collect:
- Your email address
- Your name (if provided)
- The content of your message
We do not collect payment information, identity documents, or any special category data (health, ethnicity, etc.).
Legal Basis for Processing Your Data
Under UK GDPR Article 6, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. The table below sets out each processing purpose and its legal basis.
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Website analytics and performance monitoring | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Security and fraud prevention | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Responding to enquiries and support requests | Performance of a contract / legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(b)/(f)) |
| Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Umami) | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Marketing and affiliate tracking cookies | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
| Compliance with legal obligations | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
Where we rely on consent as the legal basis (analytics and marketing cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time via our cookie settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that those interests are not overridden by your data protection rights. You have the right to object to legitimate interests processing — see the Your Rights section below.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We do not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Website analytics data (anonymised) | 14 months (Google Analytics setting) |
| Email enquiry records | 3 years from last contact |
| Cookie consent records | 12 months |
| Session cookies | Deleted when browser session ends |
| Analytics cookies (persistent) | Up to 24 months |
| Affiliate tracking cookies | Up to 30 days |
| Security logs (IP addresses) | 30 days |
After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with the following categories of third-party service providers, all of whom are bound by data processing agreements:
- Analytics providers — Google Analytics (data anonymised; IP anonymisation enabled) and Umami (self-hosted, no third-party sharing)
- Hosting and infrastructure — Cloudflare (security, performance, DDoS protection)
- Affiliate networks — referral tracking for commission attribution only; no personal profiling
- Email service providers — for responding to support enquiries
- Regulatory and law enforcement authorities — only when legally required
All third-party providers operate under data processing agreements compliant with UK GDPR Article 28. We do not transfer personal data outside the UK or EEA without appropriate safeguards in place.
Cookies
This Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We operate four categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for the Site to function (no consent required)
- Analytics cookies — usage data collection (consent required)
- Preference cookies — remember your settings (consent required)
- Marketing/affiliate cookies — referral attribution (consent required)
For a full breakdown of every cookie we use, including names, providers, purposes, and retention periods, see our dedicated Cookie Policy.
