UKPlayHubGames is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how information is handled when you use our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what data is involved in your use of UKPlayHubGames, how it is used, and your rights in relation to it. Because UKPlayHubGames currently operates as a client-side, browser-based application, the amount of personal data involved is minimal — and we believe that transparency on this point is just as important as traditional data privacy notices.
Information We Collect
UKPlayHubGames is designed with a minimal data footprint. At present, we do not operate any server-side user databases, and we do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or submit any personally identifiable information to use the Platform.
The information that is handled when you use UKPlayHubGames includes:
- Age verification preference: Your confirmation that you are 18 or over is stored locally in your browser so you are not prompted on every visit.
- Cookie consent choice: Your decision to accept or decline cookies is stored locally in your browser.
- Game progress and Coin balance: All gameplay data, including your virtual Coin balance, game history, and preferences, is stored exclusively on your own device using browser localStorage. This data does not leave your device and is not transmitted to any server.
- Standard browser data: When you visit our website, your browser may automatically transmit standard technical information to our web hosting provider, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This is standard for any website and is handled by our hosting infrastructure in accordance with their privacy practices.
We do not currently collect names, email addresses, payment information, or any other directly identifying personal data.
How We Use Your Information
The limited information described above is used solely for the following purposes:
- To remember your age verification and cookie consent so you do not need to confirm these on every visit.
- To maintain your game state and Coin balance between sessions, stored entirely on your own device.
- To ensure the technical operation and security of the Platform, using server log data managed by our hosting provider.
- To analyse aggregate, anonymised usage patterns — where applicable — to improve the Platform's performance and content. No individual users are identified in this analysis.
We do not use your data for advertising profiling, do not sell data to third parties, and do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies
UKPlayHubGames uses a small number of cookies primarily for functional purposes, such as remembering your cookie consent preference. We do not currently deploy advertising or behavioural tracking cookies. For a full breakdown of the cookies used on the Platform, including how to manage or disable them, please see our Cookie Policy.
Data Storage
All game-related data — including your virtual Coin balance, your betting history within a session, and your personal preferences such as game settings — is stored exclusively on your own device using your browser's localStorage mechanism. This means:
- Your game data is private to your device and browser. It is not synced to the cloud, transmitted to our servers, or accessible to us or any third party.
- Clearing your browser's cache or localStorage will permanently delete all your game data. This cannot be recovered, as we hold no copy.
- If you use UKPlayHubGames on multiple devices or browsers, your Coin balance and progress will not carry over between them.
- The Platform does not require an internet connection to play once loaded, as no game logic depends on server communication.
Third-Party Links
UKPlayHubGames contains links to external websites, including responsible gaming support organisations such as GambleAware, Gamblers Anonymous, and the National Council on Problem Gambling. These links are provided for your wellbeing and convenience. Once you click on an external link and leave our Platform, we have no control over the content or privacy practices of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. The inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement of that site's privacy practices.
Children's Privacy
UKPlayHubGames enforces a strict 18+ age policy. The Platform is not directed at, and is not intended for use by, anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that a person under 18 has accessed the Platform or that data relating to a minor has been stored in our systems, we will take immediate steps to address this, including blocking access and removing any associated data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has accessed UKPlayHubGames, please contact us via the Help Centre immediately.
Your Rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These include the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of personal data we hold about you. Given that UKPlayHubGames does not currently collect personally identifiable information on a server-side basis, many of these rights apply in a limited sense. However, we are committed to upholding them. If you have a question or request relating to your data rights, please contact us through the Help Centre. We will respond within one calendar month in line with our legal obligations.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. If we make material changes that significantly affect how we handle your information, we will provide prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use of UKPlayHubGames after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
