Legal Bases for Processing
Volunteerready.org.uk processes your personal data on the following legal bases under the UK GDPR: consent, where you have freely and clearly given permission (for example, newsletter sign-up or non-essential cookies); legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for purposes such as website analytics, affiliate tracking, and fraud prevention, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms; and legal obligation, where we are required to process data to comply with applicable UK law. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Volunteerready.org.uk features review links and banners that direct users to third-party licensed casino operators. When you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected to an external website governed by that operator's own privacy policy — we encourage you to review those policies independently. We use third-party analytics providers, including Google Analytics, to collect anonymised usage statistics. These providers may process data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards. Volunteerready.org.uk does not sell your personal data to any third party.
