Privacy Policy | Instawin Guide 2026

We collect data in three ways. First, information you give us directly, such as your name and email address if you contact us or sign up for updates. Second, technical data sent by your browser: IP address, device type, browser version, language and the pages you view. Third, usage data, such as how long you stay on a page and which links you click. We do not ask for payment card details, and we do not collect sensitive categories of personal data. This site is for adults aged 18 and over.

We use your data to run and improve the site. That means answering your messages, keeping pages fast and secure, understanding which guides are useful, and measuring how readers use outbound links. If you subscribe to updates, we use your email address to send them, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Our lawful bases are legitimate interests (running and improving an editorial site), consent (cookies and marketing emails where required) and legal obligation. We never sell your personal data.

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences and measure traffic. Non-essential cookies, including analytics and affiliate tracking, only run once you consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time in the banner settings or in your browser. Full details of each cookie, its purpose and its lifespan are on our cookie page.

We rely on a small number of third parties. Analytics providers help us understand aggregated traffic patterns. Affiliate tracking tools record when a visit leads to a click or sign-up with a partner operator, so we can be credited. Hosting and email providers process data on our behalf under contract. These providers act on our instructions or under their own privacy notices. When you leave this site for an operator, that operator's own privacy policy applies, so read it before you register. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we use approved safeguards.

Under UK GDPR you can ask to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, and receive a portable copy. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting past processing. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. We keep contact messages for up to 24 months, subscriber data until you unsubscribe, and analytics data in aggregated or anonymised form for up to 26 months. We delete or anonymise data once it is no longer needed.

To exercise any right or ask a question about this notice, use the contact form on this site and mark your message as a privacy request. We may ask you to confirm your identity before acting. We aim to reply within one month, as the law requires. If your request is complex, we will tell you why we need more time. We may update this notice as our practices change, and the date at the top will always show the latest version. Gambling should be fun, never a way to solve money problems. If it stops being fun, support is available through GamCare and BeGambleAware.
