2. Data We Collect

We collect personal information from you in two primary ways: information you provide directly to us through specific interactions, and information we gather automatically during your session on our Site.

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

When you complete our contact form, send an inquiry, or interact with our interactive features, we collect the following datasets:

  • Your full name (provided to identify you during communication)
  • Your email address (used to send responses and confirm inquiries)
  • The subject of your inquiry (used to route your message to the correct team member)
  • The content of your message (containing the detailed description of your inquiry)
  • Your confirmation that you are aged 18 or over (required to access our reviews)

If you communicate with our guide assistant widget, the chat messages are stored temporarily to maintain context during your active session. We do not require you to input personal identifiers into the chat widget, and we strongly advise against sharing sensitive financial or personal details with the automated assistant.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

To ensure our website remains functional, secure, and optimized for different device form factors, we automatically collect basic technical details when you browse our pages. This includes:

  • IP address (automatically anonymised within 24 hours to prevent individual identification)
  • Browser type, software build, and version
  • Operating system and device model
  • Pages visited, time spent per page, and navigation sequences
  • Referring websites (the link you clicked to reach our site)
  • Date, time, and timezone of access

This automated technical information is compiled using server log files and standard cookies. Please refer to Section 7 and our Cookie Policy for comprehensive details.

2.3 Data from Third Parties

We do not purchase, license, or receive personal datasets from third-party data brokers, marketing networks, or list providers. All information we process is collected directly from your browser session or your explicit contact form submissions.

3. How We Use Your Data

We only process your personal information when we have a valid legal basis to do so under the UK GDPR. The specific purposes and their corresponding legal bases are detailed below:

3.1 Responding to Enquiries

Legal Basis: Contract / Legitimate Interest. When you submit a contact form, we process your name, email address, and message content to fulfill your request, answer your questions, and provide customer support. It is in our legitimate interest to respond to inquiries efficiently and professionally.

3.2 Site Analytics

Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest. We analyze server logs and anonymous user behaviors to understand how visitors interact with our site, identify layout issues, optimize load speeds, and improve review copy. No individual user is identified during this statistical analysis; all data is aggregated.

3.3 Cookie-Based Functions

Legal Basis: Consent. Where you have explicitly provided consent through our cookie consent banner, we save preference details and gamestate parameters (such as your virtual slot coin balance) to provide custom features. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cache or updating preferences.

3.4 Legal Compliance

Legal Basis: Legal Obligation. We may process and share your information where necessary to comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, or protect our intellectual property rights.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Our specific retention periods are:

  • Contact form leads and enquiries: Retained for 12 months from the date of submission, then permanently and securely deleted from our databases.
  • Server security logs: Retained for a maximum of 30 days to detect and investigate malicious traffic or site errors, then overwritten automatically.
  • Analytics data: Retained in aggregated, anonymous format with no personal identifiers indefinitely.
  • Game state parameters (balance): Saved in your local browser cache (localStorage) for 30 days. You can delete this at any time by clearing your browser data.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or distribute your personal data to third-party commercial networks. We only share information with third parties under the following strict conditions:

  • Hosting Providers: Our website assets, database instances, and forms are hosted on secure servers managed by cloud infrastructure providers. These companies process data on our behalf under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) compliant with UK GDPR.
  • Analytics Providers: We use anonymised analytics utilities to audit traffic patterns. These service providers only have access to anonymised, aggregated data packages.
  • Legal Enforcement: We may disclose information if required to do so by court order, law, or regulatory authority, or to defend the safety, property, and rights of Herman's Package Store Ltd.

6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you possess several rights regarding how your personal datasets are handled. You have the right to:

  • Right of Access: Request a complete copy of the personal datasets we hold about you at any time.
  • Right to Rectification: Request that we correct any inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information.
  • Right to Erasure: Request that we delete your personal data from our active systems, subject to legal retention obligations.
  • Right to Restriction: Request that we limit the processing of your data under specific circumstances (e.g., if you dispute its accuracy).
  • Right to Portability: Request that we transfer your personal data to another controller in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object: Object to our processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests.
  • Rights regarding automated profiling: We do not use automated profiling algorithms to make legal or significant decisions about you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our privacy compliance officer at: privacy@hermanspackagestore.com. We do not charge a fee to process your request and will respond within one calendar month as required by law.

7. Cookies

Our website uses cookies (small text files saved to your computer or mobile device) to manage layouts, store game balances, and analyze traffic. For detailed information on the specific cookies we use, their lifetimes, and how to enable or disable them, please read our dedicated Cookie Policy (cookie-policy).

8. International Transfers

We store and process all personal data within secure servers located inside the United Kingdom. We do not transfer your personal information outside of the UK. If our hosting configurations change in the future, we will ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Government) are established first.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. All connections to our site are encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols. Access to contact form submissions is restricted to authorised staff members who require the information to perform their roles. However, please remember that no transmission method over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links

Our Site contains links to external third-party social casino platforms, game reviews, and reference sites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or cookie setups of these external operators. We recommend reading the privacy documentation of any external site you visit through our outbound links.

11. Children

Our Site and services are intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect, process, or request personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it from our systems immediately. If you believe we have information about a minor, please contact us at privacy@hermanspackagestore.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our web practices or legal obligations. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your personal datasets.
