Legal Bases for Processing
Hullstars.co.uk processes your personal data under the following legal bases as defined by the UK GDPR and, where applicable, the EU GDPR. Where you have provided explicit consent — for example, by subscribing to our newsletter or accepting non-essential cookies — we rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a)). For operational activities such as analytics, affiliate tracking, and site security, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)), having determined that these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Where we are required to comply with a legal obligation, we rely on Article 6(1)(c). You have the right to withdraw consent or object to legitimate interest processing at any time.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Hullstars.co.uk operates as an affiliate review platform and contains links to third-party casino operators, including bubble casino. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to an external website governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service — Hullstars has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the data practices of those operators. We use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to collect anonymised usage statistics. These providers may process data outside the UK; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.
Data Security & Retention
Hullstars.co.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Contact form data is typically retained for up to 12 months, after which it is securely deleted. Anonymised analytics data may be retained for longer periods for statistical purposes.
