Ventoriax and your information
Ventoriax is an independent information and comparison platform focused on licensed gaming
services available to users in the United Kingdom. When you browse our pages, follow outbound
links, or contact us, certain information about you may be collected and processed in line with
this Policy and applicable data protection laws.
If you have any questions about this Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us
using the details provided on our Contact page.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The Ventoriax website is owned and managed by ventoriax.com. For the purposes of data protection
law, we act as the Data Controller. This means we decide how and why your personal data is
processed when you use our site.

“Personal data” is any information that can identify you directly or indirectly, alone or together
with other details. This may include, for example:
- IP address

- Device identifiers
- Information about how you use and move through our website
Some information is collected automatically when you visit Ventoriax. Other information is
provided by you, for instance when you send us a message.

We only process personal data where we have a clear purpose and a lawful basis. Below is an
overview of the categories of data we may handle.
3.1 Device & technical information
What we may collect: Device type, operating system, browser type and version, display settings, language settings, basic system configuration.

What we may collect: Technical data linked to clicks on links leading to partner sites (such as tracking IDs or reference tags) and aggregated information used for reporting.
Why: To measure the performance of our comparison service, confirm legitimate referrals, and maintain transparent cooperation with partners without directly identifying you as an individual user.
We do not collect payment card data or identity documents through Ventoriax. If such details are
requested, this happens only on external platforms you visit via our links, under their own terms
and privacy policies.

We rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
-
Legitimate interests: To operate and secure our website, understand performance,
prevent misuse, support our affiliate activities responsibly, and improve our services.

bodies.
We process only the data needed for these purposes.
