About This Policy
lindarhvolleignir.is is an independent website that reviews online casinos for players based in Iceland. This privacy policy explains in straightforward terms what data we collect when you use our site, what we do with it, and what rights you have. We've written it to be genuinely informative rather than just a legal formality. If anything here prompts a question, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] — we'll respond as clearly and promptly as we can.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit lindarhvolleignir.is, our servers and analytics tools automatically record certain technical details. This includes your IP address, the type of device and browser you're using, which pages on our site you visit, how you found us, and a rough indication of how long you spent on different parts of the site. This data is used exclusively to monitor site performance, identify and resolve technical issues, and understand in general terms how our content is being used. It is collected and analysed at an aggregate level and cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
Information You Provide to Us
lindarhvolleignir.is doesn't ask you to register or create a profile. We only receive personal information from you when you choose to reach out to us directly — by emailing [email protected] or submitting a contact form on the site. In those situations, we receive whatever details you choose to include, most commonly a name and an email address alongside your message. We use that information only to respond to your inquiry. We don't subscribe you to anything, we don't pass your details to third parties, and we don't use your contact information for any other purpose. Once your matter has been resolved, we retain the correspondence for a short period and then delete it.
Cookies and How We Use Them
lindarhvolleignir.is uses cookies. A portion of these are essential to the site's operation — without them, basic functionality like page navigation and session continuity wouldn't work as intended. We also use analytics cookies, which collect anonymised data about how visitors move through the site and which content resonates most. This helps us continually improve the quality and structure of what we publish. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or to serve you personalised advertising. Cookie preferences can be managed through your browser at any time, and disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing any of our content.
When You Click Through to Casinos
A central part of what lindarhvolleignir.is does is link readers to online casino platforms. It's important to understand that those links take you to independently operated websites that are entirely separate from ours. Once you leave lindarhvolleignir.is, the privacy policy of the platform you've arrived at governs how your data is handled — not ours. We receive no information about your activity on those sites and have no influence over their data practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any casino platform before you register an account or share personal or financial information with them.
Third-Party Tools and Partners
We use a limited number of trusted third-party services to help us run lindarhvolleignir.is, including analytics platforms and affiliate tracking systems. These services may set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies. We select these providers carefully, and we don't permit them to use data collected via our site for their own unrelated purposes. Where possible, data processed through these services is anonymised before we ever see it.
What We Don't Do With Your Data
We do not sell personal data. We do not share it with advertisers or rent it to third parties. lindarhvolleignir.is makes money through affiliate commissions — when readers follow our links to casinos and go on to sign up, we may earn a referral fee. That is our business model, and it does not involve trading in your personal information. We also don't collect sensitive categories of data such as financial details or government identification numbers. A content and review site has no legitimate need for such information.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in Iceland or elsewhere in the European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation grants you a set of rights over your personal data. These include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to correct anything that's inaccurate, and the right to request its complete deletion. You may also ask us to restrict or stop certain types of processing, or to provide your data to you in a machine-readable format. To make any such request, please email [email protected]. We will acknowledge your message promptly and respond in full within the timeframe required under applicable law.
Data Retention
We keep data only for as long as there is a genuine reason to do so. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods to allow us to observe trends in how the site performs over time. Personal data received through direct contact is held only for as long as it's needed to address the original inquiry and then deleted securely. If you'd like us to remove your data earlier than we otherwise would, email us at [email protected] and we'll act on your request without delay.
Policy Updates
We may revise this privacy policy when our practices change or when updates to data protection legislation require it. The most current version will always be available on this page. We recommend checking back occasionally, particularly if you visit lindarhvolleignir.is regularly. Any questions about this policy are welcome at [email protected].
