Privacy Policy – Spinko
Start playingThis privacy notice explains how Spinko collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit spinko-online.de. We take data protection seriously and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who controls your data
The data controller for spinko-online.de is the editorial team operating this portal. We are responsible for deciding how your personal information is processed and for what purpose. This notice covers only the data we collect through this site – it does not cover the operator's own platform, which has its own privacy policy.
What information we collect
We collect technical data automatically when you visit – your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referral source. This helps us understand how the site is used and where improvements are needed.
If you contact us through the site's contact form, we collect the information you provide – typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
We also use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Our cookie policy explains what these are, which ones we set, and how to control them.
How we use your data
Technical and usage data helps us analyse site performance, identify broken links, and understand which content readers find useful. We use this to make editorial decisions about what to cover and how to structure the site.
Contact-form submissions are used to answer your question or address your concern. We do not add you to a mailing list without explicit consent, and we do not use your email address for marketing.
Legal basis for processing
We process technical and usage data on the basis of our legitimate interests – running an informational site requires understanding how it is used, and that interest does not override your fundamental rights.
Contact-form data is processed on the basis of consent – by submitting the form, you agree to us using the information to respond to you – or, where your enquiry relates to a specific issue, on the basis that processing is necessary to take steps at your request.
Who we share your data with
We use third-party services to operate this site, and some of them process personal data on our behalf:
- Analytics providers – we use analytics tools to understand site traffic. These services may set cookies and collect usage data. See our cookie policy for details.
- Hosting providers – the site is hosted on servers managed by a third party, which means server logs (including IP addresses) pass through their infrastructure.
- Advertising partners – we may work with advertising networks that collect data for targeted advertising. You can opt out of personalised ads through your browser settings or the choices offered by the ad network.
We do not sell your personal data to anyone. We only share it with processors who are contractually required to protect it and use it solely for the purposes we specify.
We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or respond to valid requests from public authorities.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Access | You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. |
| Rectification | You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data. |
| Erasure | You can request deletion of your data in certain circumstances. |
| Restriction | You can ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved. |
| Portability | You can request your data in a structured, commonly used format. |
| Objection | You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing. |
| Withdraw consent | Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. |
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. If your request is complex or we receive several requests from you, we may extend this by a further two months – we will let you know if that is necessary and explain why.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
Technical and usage data is retained for up to 26 months, which allows us to analyse trends and compare periods without keeping data indefinitely.
Contact-form submissions are kept for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up questions. We typically delete correspondence after 12 months unless there is a valid reason to retain it longer, such as an ongoing complaint or legal obligation.
Cookies are set with their own expiry dates – see our cookie policy for specifics.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for users aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information from a minor, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
Changes to this notice
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we make significant changes, we will update the date below and, where appropriate, notify you through the site or by email.
