Privacy Policy – Kanuuna
Start playingThis privacy policy explains how kanuunakasino-suomi.fi — an independent information portal — collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit our site. We take your privacy seriously and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Kanuuna is the operator we write about; this policy concerns only the data we handle through this portal.
Who controls your data
The data controller for this site is the editorial team operating kanuunakasino-suomi.fi. We determine how and why your personal information is processed. For any questions about this policy or to exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].
How this site remembers you
We collect two categories of information. The first is what you hand over directly — your email address and message content when you use our contact form, for instance. The second is what we observe automatically: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and the time spent on them. These technical logs help us understand how the site is used and where it breaks.
We store this data on secure servers within the UK and the European Economic Area. Hosting and analytics providers process it on our behalf under contracts that require them to protect it to the same standard we do. We never sell your information to third parties.
What reaches us and why
When you submit a question through our contact form, we collect your email address and the text of your message so we can reply. When you browse the site, cookies and server logs capture your IP address, the pages you viewed, and how long you stayed — this tells us which sections are read and which are skipped, and it flags broken links before readers write in about them.
Analytics and third-party scripts
We use analytics services to measure traffic and engagement. These tools set their own cookies and may share anonymised data with their own networks. Our cookie policy explains which scripts run on this site and how to block them. Advertising partners may place cookies to show relevant ads elsewhere online; you can opt out through your browser settings or the choices offered in our cookie banner.
Lawful basis for processing
Under UK GDPR we process your data on three grounds. Consent: when you agree to analytics or marketing cookies through the banner on your first visit. Legitimate interests: we have a valid reason to collect technical logs and usage data to run the site securely and improve it, and that interest does not override your privacy. Contractual necessity: when you ask us a question by email, processing your message is essential to answering it.
Sharing with processors and transfers
We share data only with service providers who process it on our behalf: hosting companies, email platforms, and analytics tools. Each one operates under a data processing agreement that prohibits them from using your information for their own purposes. Some of these providers have servers outside the UK; where that happens, we ensure they meet UK adequacy standards or have implemented safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct it if it is wrong, and to request erasure when we no longer need it. You can ask us to restrict processing while we investigate a complaint, request portability of data you provided in a structured format, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time through your browser or by contacting us.
Exercising your rights
Send any request to [email protected]. We will respond within one month and ask for proof of identity if the request involves sensitive information. If you believe we have mishandled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
How long we keep your data
Contact-form submissions are kept for two years after the last reply, then deleted. Server logs and anonymised analytics data are retained for 12 months. Cookies expire according to the durations set out in our cookie policy — session cookies when you close your browser, persistent cookies after the period stated in the banner.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor has submitted information through our contact form, we delete it immediately. Parents who discover their child has shared data with us should contact [email protected] so we can remove it.
Changes to this policy
We review this privacy policy regularly and update it when our practices or legal obligations change. The current version is dated below. Significant changes will be flagged at the top of this page for 30 days after publication. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
