This policy covers what we, tiptop-bathrooms.co.uk, collect when you read our Fatpirate coverage — it has nothing to do with the account data Fatpirate itself holds once you register with them. If you want to know how the operator handles your deposit or verification details, that sits in their own terms, not here.
The short version
We collect technical data automatically when you visit — your browser type, device, approximate location and the pages you read — plus anything you type into our contact form. We don't sell any of it. We use it to keep the site working, to understand which pages get read, and to reply to the emails you send us.
Data you hand over vs data we observe
Two categories exist here, and they're collected differently. What you hand over is limited to a name and email address if you write to [email protected] — we don't ask for anything beyond what's needed to answer you.
What we observe happens whether or not you contact us: IP address, device type, referring page and time on site, gathered through standard analytics and cookie technology. Full detail on which cookies do this sits on our separate cookie policy.
Processors and transfers
We use third-party analytics and hosting providers to run this site, and your data passes through their systems as a result. None of it is sold to advertisers, and none of it is shared with Fatpirate or any other operator we write about — our relationship with them is editorial, not commercial in the sense of data-sharing.
- Hosting infrastructure that stores the site and its logs
- Analytics tooling that measures page performance, not individual identity
- Email delivery for anything you send to [email protected]
Exercising your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict or port the data we hold about you, and you can withdraw consent for anything based on it. Email [email protected] with your request and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
If you're not satisfied with how we've handled a request, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK's supervisory authority — ico.org.uk takes complaints directly from the public.
Retention
Contact-form correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve the query and for a short period afterwards in case you follow up. Technical and analytics data is retained on a rolling basis and aged out automatically rather than kept indefinitely.
Under-18s
This site, like the gambling content it covers, is intended for readers aged 18+. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under that age, and if we become aware that we have, we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
We update this page when our data practices change, not on a fixed schedule. The version live on the site is always the current one — this text was last reviewed in 2026.
Questions about any of this go to [email protected]. Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential support is available at BeGambleAware.org.
