Privacy Policy

Last updated26 October 2026
Applies tolefishermanhacksaw.com

This policy explains which information lefishermanhacksaw.com handles when you visit, why it is needed and what control you keep over it. The site is an independent source of information about Le Fisherman, a slot by Hacksaw Gaming, and it is written for adults.

1. About this policy

The policy covers every page of lefishermanhacksaw.com in all of its language versions. It describes the data collected while you browse, the messages you choose to send and the information that passes to other services when you start embedded content or follow a sponsored link. It is written with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation in mind, because visitors reach the site from the United Kingdom and from several EU countries.

2. Who runs this website

The site is an independent information project about one slot and the way it plays. It is not a casino: it takes no bets, holds no player accounts and processes no payments, so it never asks for bank details, identity documents or passwords. The people who run it decide how the limited data described here is used and act as its controller. Questions about this policy can be sent to the address given in the contact part of the last section.

3. Information the site collects

Most visits involve no information that names you. Two kinds of data can still reach the site, depending on what you do. The first is what you send yourself when you write an email:

  • Your email address and any name you sign with
  • The text of your message and any attachment
  • The date and time of the exchange

The second is technical data recorded automatically when pages load:

  • A shortened or masked IP address
  • Browser type, language setting and operating system
  • Pages viewed, the time of the visit and the page you came from
  • An approximate country or region derived from the connection
  • Clicks on buttons such as the casino offers or the demo poster

No special categories of data, such as health details or political views, are requested or stored.

4. Cookies and similar tools

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They fall into three groups:

  • Necessary cookies, which keep pages working and remember your cookie choice
  • Analytics cookies, which count visits and show which pages are read, set only with your consent
  • Partner cookies, which a casino or its affiliate network may set on its own domain after you follow a sponsored link

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time and change your consent through the cookie banner. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working as intended.

5. How the information is used

Data is used only for purposes connected with running an information site, which are:

  • Keeping pages fast, available and secure
  • Learning which topics readers look for, so that pages can be improved
  • Answering messages sent to the contact address
  • Counting how many visitors follow sponsored links, which funds the site
  • Detecting abuse and meeting legal duties

Personal data is not sold, rented or traded, and the site sends no marketing emails or newsletters.

6. Sponsored links and embedded content

Some buttons lead to casino websites, and these links are sponsored. When you follow one, you leave this site, and the casino or the affiliate network behind the link may record the visit so that a later sign-up can be attributed. Other services become active only when you choose to use them:

  • The free demo, which loads from the game provider's server after you press the poster
  • Video players, which start in a privacy-enhanced mode only when you click a video
  • Discussion threads on an external forum, which open the other website in your browser
  • Casino websites reached through sponsored links

Each of these services applies its own privacy policy as soon as you interact with it.

7. Legal bases for processing

Under data protection law every use of personal data needs a legal basis. The site relies on four:

  • Consent, for analytics cookies and partner cookies
  • Legitimate interests, for running the site securely and measuring its reach in a way that does not override your rights
  • Steps taken at your request, such as replying to an email you sent
  • Legal obligations, where the law requires data to be kept or disclosed

8. Your data protection rights

You keep control over any personal data the site holds about you. Depending on the situation, you can ask for:

  • Access to a copy of your data
  • Correction of anything inaccurate or incomplete
  • Erasure of your data
  • Restriction of how it is used
  • A portable copy in a common machine-readable format
  • An end to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing

Requests go to the contact address below. A reply follows within one month, as the law requires, and no fee is charged in normal cases.

9. How long data is kept

Data is kept only for as long as its purpose requires and then deleted or made anonymous:

  • Emails, until the matter is closed and for a short period afterwards in case of follow-up questions
  • Analytics data, in aggregated or pseudonymised form, within the retention period set in the analytics tool
  • Server logs, for a short period needed to spot errors and attacks
  • Your cookie choice, until you change it or clear your browser

10. Keeping information secure

Because the site collects little, little could be exposed. The measures that protect it include:

  • Encrypted HTTPS connections on every page
  • Access to analytics and the mailbox limited to the people who run the site
  • Software and plugins kept up to date
  • No accounts, passwords or payment data stored on the site

No transfer over the internet is completely secure, but these steps keep the risk low.

11. Transfers outside the UK

Hosting, analytics or email providers may process data in other countries, including member states of the European Union and the United States. Where that happens, the transfer relies on adequacy regulations or on standard contractual clauses with the UK addendum, which require the recipient to protect the data to a comparable standard.

12. Complaints

If you believe your data has been handled in breach of data protection law, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority, or to the data protection authority of the EU country where you live or work. Writing to the contact address first is welcome, as most concerns can be cleared up directly.

13. Changes to this policy

The policy is reviewed when the site adds a new feature or when the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest revision, and important changes are announced with a notice on the site for a reasonable period.

Questions about this policy and requests about your data can be sent to [email protected]. For access or erasure, please say which email address you used, so that the right records can be found.
