Legal Bases for Processing
Raw Snow processes personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where we set non-essential cookies or send marketing communications, we rely on your consent as the lawful basis; you may withdraw this consent at any time. For analytics and affiliate tracking, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and improving a commercial review website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. Where processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation — for example, retaining records for tax or regulatory purposes — we rely on that obligation as our lawful basis.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
raw-snow.co.uk contains links to licensed casino operators and gambling platforms. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to a third-party website governed by its own privacy policy; Raw Snow is not responsible for data practices on external sites. We use third-party analytics providers, which may set cookies and receive anonymised usage data relating to your visit. All third-party processors engaged by raw-snow.co.uk are required to handle your data securely and in compliance with applicable data protection law. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
