This privacy policy explains how Fatpirate collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit asmallgoodthing.co.uk. We take your privacy seriously and handle all data in line with UK data protection law.
Last updated: 26 November 2025.
Scope of this notice
This policy applies to the asmallgoodthing.co.uk information portal only. We are an independent review and information site about Fatpirate – we do not operate player accounts, process deposits or withdrawals, or handle any gambling transactions. For questions about your account with the operator, contact them directly.
The relationship between you and us
The data controller for this site is the asmallgoodthing.co.uk editorial team. You can reach us at [email protected] with any questions about how we handle your information.
When you visit our site, we collect limited technical information to keep the platform running and improve what we publish. We never sell your data to third parties.
Categories of information we collect
We gather two kinds of data: information you give us directly, and information we observe about how you use the site.
Data you provide:
- Your email address if you contact us through the support form
- The content of any message you send
- Any other details you choose to include in correspondence
Data we observe automatically:
- Your IP address and approximate location (country level)
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent, and referral source
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see our Cookie Policy for detail)
We do not collect payment card details, identity documents, or account credentials – those belong to the operator, not to us.
Lawful basis and purposes
We process your data on the following grounds under UK GDPR:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiries | Legitimate interest |
| Site analytics and improvement | Consent (via cookie banner) |
| Security and fraud prevention | Legitimate interest |
| Compliance with legal obligations | Legal obligation |
We use technical data to understand which pages help readers most, where navigation breaks down, and how to make the content clearer. Marketing and advertising cookies require your explicit consent through the banner shown on your first visit.
Sharing with third parties
We share limited data with trusted service providers who help us run the site. These include:
- Analytics platforms – to measure traffic and understand user behaviour (Google Analytics or similar tools)
- Hosting providers – to store and serve content securely
- Advertising networks – only if you have consented to marketing cookies, to show relevant ads
Each processor operates under a data processing agreement and is required to protect your information to the same standard we do. We never sell your data to brokers or list services.
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights over your personal data:
- Access – request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate information
- Erasure – request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements
- Restriction – limit how we process your information in certain circumstances
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interest
- Withdraw consent – revoke consent for analytics or marketing at any time
None of these rights are absolute. We will respond to every request within one month and explain any limitations that apply.
How to exercise your rights
Send your request to [email protected] with "Data Request" in the subject line. Include enough detail for us to locate your information – the email address you used to contact us, or the approximate date of your visit if you are asking about tracking data.
If you are unhappy with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
How long we keep your data
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected:
- Contact form submissions – kept for two years after the last correspondence, then deleted
- Technical logs – anonymised or deleted after 26 months
- Cookies – expire after the duration set in our Cookie Policy; you can clear them at any time in your browser
Aggregated, anonymised data used for reporting may be kept indefinitely because it no longer identifies you.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Parents and guardians can use filtering software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content on shared devices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows when the current version took effect. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage for at least 30 days.
Contact us
For questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
