Legal Bases for Processing
Greysalamander.co.uk processes your personal data on the following legal bases under the UK GDPR: consent, where you have freely given, specific, and informed agreement (for example, subscribing to our newsletter or accepting non-essential cookies); and legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for our operational purposes — such as improving our casino review content, maintaining website security, and managing affiliate relationships — provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we carry out a balancing assessment to ensure your data is handled fairly. In limited cases, processing may also be required for compliance with a legal obligation applicable to greysalamander.co.uk.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links

We may share referral identifiers with affiliate partners solely for commission-tracking purposes; we do not sell your personal data to any third party. We also use third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, which may process anonymised usage data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own marketing purposes.
