Legal Bases for Processing
Paranormalfriends.co.uk processes your personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We rely on your consent when placing non-essential cookies or sending marketing communications — you may withdraw consent at any time. For other processing activities, such as analysing site performance and managing affiliate links, we rely on our legitimate interests as a publisher and affiliate operator, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. Where required, we also process data to comply with a legal obligation.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Paranormalfriends.co.uk contains links to third-party BGM casino operators and gambling platforms. When you click an affiliate link, you will be directed to an external website governed by its own privacy policy — paranormalfriends.co.uk is not responsible for the data practices of those operators. We use analytics providers, including Google Analytics, to collect aggregated usage data. These providers may process data outside the UK; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are in place. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
