Who this privacy policy covers
This privacy policy applies to Wheelz, an independent information and marketing portal operated at wheelz-offiziell.com.de. We are not the casino operator itself — that entity runs its own platform at a separate domain and handles player account data under its own privacy terms. This document describes only what wheelz-offiziell.com.de collects, processes and shares when you visit or interact with our editorial content.
For questions about data practices once you register or play at the operator's own site, contact the operator directly through its support channels. For questions about how we handle information on this portal, write to [email protected].
What information reaches us
We collect two broad categories of data:
Technical and usage data — gathered automatically when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, the pages you view, how long you stay, where you came from (referrer URL), and the timestamps of each action. Cookies and similar tracking technologies enable us to recognise returning visitors and measure which content performs well.
Information you provide voluntarily — submitted through contact forms, newsletter sign-ups or similar interactive features. Typically your email address and any message or question you write to us. We never ask for payment details, identity documents or sensitive personal data on this portal.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis
We process the information above for specific, defined purposes:
- Operating the site — to deliver pages, remember your preferences (language, dismissed banners), prevent abuse and maintain security. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (running an informational service and protecting it from misuse).
- Analytics and improvement — to understand which articles are read, where readers drop off, and how the site performs across devices. We use aggregated, pseudonymised data for these insights. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (improving content and user experience), and consent where analytics cookies require it under UK GDPR.
- Marketing and advertising — to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and display relevant third-party advertisements. Lawful basis: consent, obtained via the cookie banner.
- Responding to enquiries — when you email us, we process your message and contact details to answer your question. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (providing customer support for our content) or, where applicable, performance of a contract (if you have entered into any agreement with us).
We do not process special-category data (health, biometrics, political opinions, religious beliefs) and we do not make automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant consequences for you.
Who else sees your data
We share information with a limited set of third parties, each for a specific operational reason:
| Recipient category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting and infrastructure | Store website files and serve pages | Cloud hosting providers |
| Analytics platforms | Measure traffic and user behaviour | Google Analytics, similar tools |
| Advertising networks | Display ads and track campaign performance | Ad tech providers, affiliate networks |
| Email service providers | Send newsletters or respond to contact-form submissions | Transactional email platforms |
Some of these processors are based outside the United Kingdom. Where data leaves the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — typically standard contractual clauses approved by the ICO or an adequacy decision recognising the destination country's data-protection framework. We never sell your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Your rights under UK GDPR
The UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 grant you several rights over your personal information:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Erasure — request deletion of your data where we no longer have a lawful basis to keep it.
- Restriction of processing — ask us to pause certain uses of your data while a dispute is resolved.
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another controller.
- Object — opt out of processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — revoke any consent you previously gave (this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month, and we will not charge a fee unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk for guidance on how to raise a concern.
How long we keep your data
Retention periods depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected:
Server logs and analytics data — typically retained for 12–24 months, then aggregated or deleted. Contact-form submissions — kept for as long as necessary to answer your question and resolve any follow-up, then deleted unless we have a legitimate reason to keep a record (for instance, if your enquiry related to a legal matter). Newsletter subscriptions — your email address remains on file until you unsubscribe or the service is discontinued. Marketing and advertising data — managed according to the retention policies of the third-party platforms we use, often anonymised or deleted after a campaign ends.
We review stored data periodically and delete anything no longer needed for its original purpose.
Protection of minors
This site provides information about online gambling, an activity restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact [email protected] immediately and we will delete it without undue delay.
If your household includes minors and you share devices, consider installing parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to prevent access to gambling-related content.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or the services we use. When we make material changes, we will update the date below and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via a banner on the site. Continued use of wheelz-offiziell.com.de after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
