Our Privacy Policy: How We Handle Your Data

At Round Third Interactive, we believe transparency about your data is as crucial as the design of our slot games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, roundthird.com. We are committed to protecting your personal data in line with United Kingdom data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What Information We Collect and Why

To provide and improve our services, we collect data in two primary ways: information you give us directly and data gathered automatically through your site interaction. This approach is similar to analytics used in iGaming development to refine user experience and engagement.

Data You Provide to Us

This includes information you voluntarily submit, such as when you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, or participate in a survey. Typical examples are:

  • Your name and email address.
  • Your message or inquiry content.
  • Your preferences for receiving marketing communications.

Data Collected Automatically

As you navigate our site, we automatically collect certain technical information. This may include:

  • Your IP address (anonymised where possible) and browser type.
  • Pages you view and links you click.
  • The date, time, and duration of your visit.

Our Use of Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to manage user sessions and understand preferences, akin to tools used by major casino slot studios to enhance platform functionality and user journeys.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device that allow us to remember your actions and preferences over time, making your next visit smoother and more useful.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website to function, such as maintaining your login session.
  • Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced features like remembering your language preference.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site, similar to data analysis in slot game design to improve player experience.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the website’s functionality. Our cookie banner provides initial consent management options.

Analytics and Site Performance

We analyse site traffic to understand how our content on iGaming game development performs, helping us improve our blog and resources for our readers.

Purpose of Analytics

Analytics help us identify popular content, understand reader demographics, and optimise site performance, much like developers analyse gameplay metrics.

How We Use the Data

We use services like Google Analytics, configured for IP anonymisation, to process this data. The aggregated reports inform our editorial strategy and technical improvements, ensuring we deliver relevant industry insights.

How We Share Data with Third-Party Services

We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform specific functions on our behalf. We ensure they comply with strict data protection standards and only process data per our instructions.

Service Providers We Engage

  • Email Marketing: We use services like Mailchimp to manage newsletter subscriptions and communications.
  • Cloud Hosting & Infrastructure: Providers that host our website and data securely.
  • Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics, as mentioned above.

Legal and Compliance Disclosures

We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a legal obligation or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

Your Data Protection Rights Under GDPR

As a UK-based entity, we fully uphold your rights under the GDPR. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK’s independent regulatory authority for data protection.

How Long We Retain Your Information

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, such as maintaining your newsletter subscription or responding to ongoing inquiries.

Retention Principles

Retention periods are determined by the nature of the data and the purpose for its collection. We regularly review our data holdings to ensure we do not keep information longer than needed.

Data Deletion

When your data is no longer required, or upon valid request to exercise your right to erasure, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
