This policy explains what personal data iceland-casino.is collects, why, and what rights you have. The controller of your data is the operator of this website, reachable at [email protected]. Last updated 8 October 2026.
The law that applies
We process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), which has the force of law in Iceland through lög um persónuvernd og vinnslu persónuupplýsinga nr. 90/2018 (article 2). Iceland’s supervisory authority is Persónuvernd.
What we collect and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR art. 6(1)) |
|---|---|---|
| Server logs: IP address, browser, pages requested, time | Running and securing the site, stopping abuse | (f) legitimate interests |
| Analytics: pages viewed, referrer, device type | Understanding which pages help readers | (f) legitimate interests, or (a) consent where cookies are used |
| Cookies for preferences | Remembering choices such as language | (a) consent, unless strictly necessary |
| Emails you send us | Answering questions and corrections | (f) legitimate interests |
| Affiliate link clicks | Recording that a visit came from us so we can be paid commission | (f) legitimate interests |
We do not ask for your name, ID number or payment details, and we do not sell personal data.
Links to casinos
When you click a link to a casino in our lists, you leave our site. The casino receives a referral code so it can attribute your visit to us, and from then on the casino’s own privacy policy applies to anything you give it. We do not receive your account details from the casino.
Who else sees data
Our hosting and analytics providers process data on our behalf under data-processing agreements. If a provider is outside the EEA, transfers rely on an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. We may disclose data where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Server logs are kept for a limited period for security, normally no longer than 90 days. Emails are kept as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up. Analytics data is kept in aggregated form.
Your rights
Under GDPR articles 15 to 22 you can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a copy in a portable format, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Write to [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to Persónuvernd, Laugavegur 166, 105 Reykjavík, [email protected], phone 510 9600.
Minors
This site is for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

We will update this page when our processing changes and show the date at the top. See also our terms of use and contact page, or return to the home page.
