Privacy Policy – Katanaspin and martinpattonmotors.co.uk
Who this privacy policy covers
This privacy policy explains how martinpattonmotors.co.uk – an independent information and review portal – collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit this site. We are not affiliated with Katanaspin, the casino and sportsbook operator. Katanaspin publishes its own privacy policy on its platform, covering data you provide when you register or play there. This document concerns only what happens on our portal.
What information reaches us
We collect two broad categories of information. The first is what you actively give us – your email address if you write to [email protected], for instance. The second is observational: your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you stay. Cookies and similar technologies (detailed in our separate cookie policy) handle most of the observational layer.
We do not ask for payment details, identity documents, or account credentials. Those belong to the operator's own systems and never pass through this portal.
Technical data collected automatically
Every time you load a page here, your browser sends a request that includes your IP address, the type and version of the browser, your operating system, and the page you came from. Our web server logs this automatically – it is how websites function. Analytics platforms (Google Analytics, for example) read similar signals to count visitors and track which sections get the most attention.
Data you provide voluntarily
If you use a contact form or send us an email, we store your address and the content of your message. No other personal information is required to read or use this site.
Why we process your data and the lawful basis for it
We operate this portal to inform players about Katanaspin's casino and sports betting services. The legal grounds under UK GDPR are:
- Legitimate interests – running an informational website, answering reader questions, and improving the content based on how people use the site.
- Consent – where you have actively agreed (for instance, accepting a cookie banner for analytics or marketing cookies).
- Legal obligation – retaining certain records where required by law.
We will never process your data in a way that overrides your rights or expectations without a solid reason.
Who else sees your information
We share data with a small number of third parties, purely to keep the site running or to understand how it is used:
- Hosting provider – stores the site's files and serves pages to your browser.
- Analytics services – Google Analytics and similar tools, which track visits and user behaviour in aggregated form.
- Advertising networks – if you consented to marketing cookies, ad platforms may collect data to show you relevant promotions elsewhere.
None of these parties buy your data from us. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information under any circumstances. Some processors may transfer data outside the UK; where that happens, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place (standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions).
Your rights under UK data protection law
The UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you a set of rights over your personal information. Here is what you can do:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| 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 no legal reason to keep it remains. |
| Restriction | Limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved. |
| Portability | Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format. |
| Objection | Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing. |
| Withdraw consent | Revoke any consent you previously gave (does not affect lawfulness of earlier processing). |
How to exercise your rights
Write to [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month, though complex cases may take up to three months – we will keep you informed if an extension is needed. No fee applies unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, 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 or call 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
Server logs and analytics data are typically retained for 12 to 24 months, then deleted or anonymised. Correspondence sent to our editorial inbox is kept for as long as necessary to answer your question and resolve any follow-up, usually no more than two years. We do not hold data longer than needed.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for visitors aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Security measures
We use HTTPS encryption for all pages, so data sent between your browser and our server is protected in transit. Access to any stored personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only. While no system is completely immune to attack, we follow industry-standard practices to keep your information safe.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may update this policy from time to time – for instance, when we adopt a new analytics tool or change hosting providers. Any material change will be posted here with a revised date. We recommend checking this page occasionally to stay informed.
