Legal Bases for Processing
Hampshire Applications processes your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we rely on your consent — for example, to set non-essential cookies or to send marketing emails — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. For operational activities such as site analytics, affiliate link tracking, and fraud prevention, we rely on our legitimate interests as a publisher and review platform, having assessed that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Where we are required to process data to comply with a legal obligation, that obligation forms our lawful basis.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Hampshire Applications publishes review content that includes affiliate links to licensed casino operators, including Lottoland. When you click an outbound link, you will be directed to a third-party website governed by its own privacy policy and terms of use. We receive a commission when eligible referrals are made, but we do not share your personal data with casino operators. We use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to understand site usage. These providers may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any third-party site you visit via hampshire-applications.co.uk.
