Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what data we collect when you visit our site, why we collect it, how it’s handled, and what rights you have. We’ve tried to write this in plain language rather than legal boilerplate — because a privacy policy you can actually understand is more useful than one you’ll skip past.

Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what data we collect when you visit this site, why we collect it, how it’s handled, and what rights you have. We’ve tried to write this in plain language rather than legal boilerplate — because a privacy policy you can actually understand is more useful than one you’ll skip past.
Who We Are
Casino-without-swedish-license.se is an independent informational website covering online casinos that operate without a Swedish gambling licence, in short casinos without Swedish license. We publish guides, comparisons, and educational content — we don’t operate a casino, accept deposits, manage player accounts, or process any gambling transactions. Any gambling you do happens on third-party platforms, not here.
For privacy-related questions, you can reach us through our Contact page.
What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to personal data processed when you use casino-without-swedish-license.se — browsing the site, using cookies, clicking affiliate links, or getting in touch with us directly. It doesn’t cover what happens on third-party websites once you leave. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and once you’re there, their rules apply.
The Legal Framework
We process personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable European data protection principles. That means we only collect what we need, we’re clear about why we’re collecting it, and we don’t hold onto it longer than necessary. GDPR applies to visitors based in the EU and EEA, and we apply those same standards across the board.
Why We’re Allowed to Process Your Data
Under GDPR, there has to be a lawful basis for processing personal data. Depending on the situation, we rely on one of the following:
- Legitimate interest — for running, maintaining, and improving the website, where doing so doesn’t override your rights.
- Consent — for cookies and any voluntary information you provide. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation — where processing is required by law.
- Contractual necessity — in limited cases, such as responding to a direct inquiry from you.
What Data We Collect
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the site, standard web technologies automatically collect certain technical information. This includes things like your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type and version, device type, operating system, and language settings. We also collect basic usage data — which pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and how you move through the site.
We may also see how you arrived at the site — for example, whether you came from a search engine or an external link. All of this is used for analytics, security, and performance purposes. It’s not used to personally identify you.
Information You Choose to Give Us
If you contact us — via email or a contact form — we’ll receive whatever you include in that message: typically your email address, your name if you provide it, and the content of your inquiry. We use this only to respond to you. We don’t use it for marketing, and once the communication is resolved, the data is deleted unless we’re legally required to keep it.
Affiliate Tracking
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the third-party casino or their affiliate network may place a tracking cookie to record that the visit came from our site. If you then register or make a deposit, the referral gets attributed to us and we may earn a commission.
We don’t receive personally identifiable information through this process — typically just a confirmation that a referral occurred. It doesn’t cost you anything, and it doesn’t affect the terms or bonuses you’re offered by the casino.
Cookies
We use cookies to support website functionality, analyze how the site is used, and facilitate affiliate tracking. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a site.
This policy gives you a high-level overview. For the full picture — specific cookie types, purposes, and how to manage them — see our Cookie Policy. Where required by law, cookies are only placed with your consent, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie tool.
Third-Party Service Providers
We use a small number of third-party providers to keep the site running — things like hosting, analytics, and security services. These providers process data on our behalf, within defined limits and for specified purposes only. We don’t authorize them to use your data for their own purposes, and we require them to maintain appropriate security standards in line with GDPR.
International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use are based outside the EU or EEA, which means your data may be processed in other countries. When that happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place — typically Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. Your GDPR rights apply regardless of where your data is processed. If you have questions about this, feel free to get in touch.
How Long We Keep Data
We hold onto data only for as long as it’s needed. Technical and usage data is retained for analytical and security purposes. Communication data — emails and contact form messages — is kept only long enough to handle the inquiry, then deleted. Affiliate data is typically held in aggregated or non-identifiable form. When data is no longer needed, it’s securely deleted or anonymized.
How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable steps to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. On the technical side, that includes HTTPS encryption, secure server environments, firewalls, access controls, and regular updates. On the organizational side, access to personal data is limited to those who genuinely need it.
No system is completely immune to risk, and we won’t pretend otherwise — but we take security seriously and work to minimize exposure wherever we can.
Automated Decision-Making
We don’t use your data for automated decision-making that would have any legal or significant effect on you. We don’t build individual profiles or use behavioral targeting. Any analysis of site usage is done at an aggregated level, purely to understand how the site is performing and where it can be improved.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you’re in the EU or EEA, GDPR gives you a meaningful set of rights over your personal data. You have the right to access the data we hold about you, request corrections to anything inaccurate, and ask for deletion where appropriate. You can request that we restrict how we process your data, ask for a portable copy of it, and object to processing in certain circumstances. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time — it won’t affect anything that’s already happened, but it applies going forward.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe your data has been mishandled.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To make a data protection request, get in touch via our Contact page and let us know clearly which right you’d like to exercise. We may need to verify your identity first — this is just to make sure we’re handing over the right person’s data. We aim to respond within one month in most cases, though complex requests may take a little longer as permitted under GDPR.
Children’s Privacy
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and the site is not designed or marketed toward minors. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please get in touch and we’ll address it promptly.
Updates to This Policy
We’ll update this page if our data practices change, if legal requirements shift, or if the way the site operates evolves in relevant ways. Significant changes may be flagged on the site. Continuing to use the site after an update has been posted means you accept the revised policy — so it’s worth checking back occasionally if this is something you want to stay on top of.
