Privacy Policy

Once you land on Dolly and start reading its casino reviews, you hand over a little more than your attention. Browsing the site, ticking a review as helpful, or sending a question through the contact form all generate information that gets processed under this policy. Any continued use of the website after reading this document counts as acknowledgment that your information may be handled in the ways described below.

Who this applies to

This policy covers everyone who visits the Dolly website, whether you are a casual reader checking a single review, a regular user comparing several casinos, or someone who has reached out to the project through its communication channels. It applies to all pages of the site where Dolly content is published and to any interaction you have with the page features, including rating systems, comment sections, and contact forms.

The scope extends beyond the review articles themselves. When you interact with page elements, when your browser loads images or scripts, and when you follow a link to an external operator, the data generated by those actions falls within the boundaries of this document.

Information you provide

Most of the site can be read without giving up anything about yourself. The moment you choose to engage, though, you start supplying details voluntarily. Contact information is the main category here. If you send a message through the contact form, ask a question about a specific casino review, or submit feedback about the site's content, you will typically provide your name and an email address so the project can get back to you.

Beyond contact details, you might share other material inside your messages. Comments about a review, questions about wagering requirements, or remarks about a casino's payout speed all become part of the communication record. The site does not require you to submit anything, but whatever you choose to include in your outreach is information the project may process.

Information from browsing

Ordinary browsing generates a different set of data, collected without you actively submitting anything. Your browser and device leave a technical footprint: the browser type you use, the operating system it runs on, the device model, and your IP address. This information arrives with every page load and helps the site understand what kind of environment visitors are using.

Usage data builds a picture of how people move through the site. Which pages get visited, which links get clicked, how long a visitor stays on a particular review, and which external source brought them to Dolly in the first place. This is not about tracking individuals but about understanding patterns across the whole audience, so the content can be shaped around what readers actually find useful.

How information is used

The collected data serves a handful of practical purposes. Operating the website is the most basic one: keeping pages loading, maintaining security, and preventing abuse all rely on technical and usage data. When you send a message, the contact details you provided are used to respond to you and to keep a record of the communication.

Content improvement is a quieter but steady use of the data. By looking at which reviews hold attention and which pages get abandoned quickly, the project can adjust its approach to casino review content. Aggregated information, where individual details are stripped out, helps show how visitors engage with informational pages and what topics deserve more coverage.

Security work also draws on the data. Monitoring for unusual patterns, spotting automated traffic, and identifying potential abuse all depend on the technical information that browsing generates. None of these uses involve selling your data or handing it to parties who have no connection to the site's operation.

Cookies and storage

Dolly uses cookies and comparable storage technologies to make the site work properly and to understand how it performs. These small files live in your browser and carry information between visits. They are grouped by function rather than treated as one block.

Essential cookies keep the site functioning. They remember your preferences, keep you logged in where that applies, and support basic navigation. Without these, parts of the site may not behave as intended.

Analytics cookies measure page performance and visitor behaviour. They show which reviews get read, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. This data feeds into the content improvement work described above, usually in aggregated form.

Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as display settings or how you like content presented. They make repeat visits more comfortable by carrying your settings across sessions.

Your browser gives you control over all of this. You can restrict or disable cookies through browser settings, and you can clear stored cookies after visiting. The trade-off is that some website features may not perform as intended if cookies are blocked, since the site loses the ability to remember your preferences between visits.

Sharing information

Dolly does not sell personal data. That is a firm position, not a marketing line. The information collected stays within the project's operation except in specific, limited circumstances.

Trusted service providers may receive data when they perform work on the site's behalf. Website hosting, analytics, technical support, security monitoring, and communication tools all involve outside services that need some data to function. The sharing is restricted to what each provider needs for its specific task, and nothing more.

Legal compliance is the other reason data may be shared. Where the project is obliged to respond to lawful requests or meet regulatory requirements, information may be disclosed to the relevant authorities. In every case, sharing is limited to the purpose at hand and does not extend to broader distribution.

Data protection

Protecting the information collected here involves a mix of technical and organisational measures. Access restrictions limit who can see personal data within the project. Secure infrastructure keeps the site itself hardened against intrusion. System monitoring watches for suspicious activity, and controlled handling procedures govern how submitted information is processed and stored.

These safeguards are reasonable for a website of this type, but they come with an honest caveat. No online environment can guarantee absolute security. Data transmitted over the internet passes through systems outside the project's control, and even well-protected environments face evolving threats. The site works to keep information safe, yet it does not promise perfection.

Responsible gaming data

The site carries responsible gaming content alongside its casino reviews, and that content generates its own data patterns. Limited interaction data may be processed to understand how visitors engage with safety-related materials. Which pages get read, how long people spend on them, and whether the educational resources are actually being reached all fall into this category.

The purpose here is straightforward: keep responsible gaming information clear, accessible, and genuinely useful. If readers are not finding the safer-gambling guidance, the project needs to know so the material can be improved. This processing supports better-informed use of gambling-related information rather than tracking individual behaviour for any other purpose.

Your rights

You hold rights over the information the site holds about you. Access is the first one: you can ask what personal data has been collected and how it has been used. Correction follows closely, letting you fix inaccurate information that the project may have on record.

Deletion may be requested where appropriate, allowing you to have your data removed when it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this policy. Restriction of certain processing activities is another available right, letting you limit how your data is used without requiring its deletion.

Where promotional communications are used, you can opt out of receiving them. This applies to any marketing-style outreach the project may send, and opting out does not affect the core services of reading reviews and contacting the site.

Submitting a request is straightforward. Use the contact options available on the website, describe what you are asking for, and the project will handle it within a reasonable time. Requests are processed without undue delay, and you will receive confirmation once the matter is resolved.

Retention of information

Information is not kept forever. The retention period is governed by what the data is actually needed for. Communication records stay as long as they may be relevant to ongoing correspondence. Usage data remains while it serves analytics and content improvement purposes. Security-related information is kept while it supports the protection of the site.

Legal obligations form another retention driver. Where records must be maintained for compliance reasons, they stay for as long as those obligations require. When data is no longer needed for any of these purposes, it is deleted, anonymised, or securely archived. The guiding principle is that information is held only as long as reasonably necessary, and no longer.

External links

Dolly reviews point toward third-party websites. Casino operators, software providers, support organisations, and informational resources all appear as destinations within the review content. Once you click through, you leave the boundaries of this policy behind.

The project is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. Each of those sites operates under its own policies, and their data handling may differ substantially from what is described here. Users should review those policies independently before sharing any information on external platforms.

Policy updates

This document will change over time. As the site evolves, as technology shifts, and as expectations around privacy develop, the policy gets revised to match. Updated versions take effect once they are published on this page.

Continued use of the website after changes are posted may be treated as acceptance of the updated policy. If you want to know what the current rules are, check back on this page periodically. The latest version always governs, and significant changes will be reflected in the text itself rather than buried in a changelog.

Contact

Questions about privacy, personal data, or this policy can be directed to the project through the contact options made available on the website. Whether you want to exercise your rights, raise a concern about data handling, or simply clarify how something works, the contact form is the right channel. The project aims to respond to privacy inquiries within a reasonable time and to resolve any issues raised.
