Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy: Your Data at My Slice Fest

Just as we savour the perfect Neapolitan slice at a London casino restaurant, we value and protect the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how My Slice Fest (myslicefest.com) collects, uses, and safeguards your data in compliance with UK data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

What Information We Collect

We collect information to enhance your experience, whether you’re commenting on a review, subscribing for pizza festival updates, or entering competitions for events like Dough & Co. Our collection is transparent and purposeful.

Information You Provide Directly

This includes data you actively give us, such as when you:

  • Sign up for our newsletter or updates on UK pizza festivals.
  • Post a comment on an article, for instance about your favourite casino pizza spot.
  • Enter a competition or giveaway we may run.
  • Contact us via email or a contact form.

This data typically includes your name and email address, and sometimes optional details you choose to share.

Automatically Collected Technical Data

Like most websites, we automatically gather certain technical information when you visit. This includes your IP address (anonymised where possible), browser type, device information, and how you navigate our site—such as whether you spent time reading our feature on The Hippodrome Casino’s pizza offering.

Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

We use cookies—small data files stored on your device—to make our site work better and to understand how our content, like reviews of Grosvenor Casino restaurants, is enjoyed by our readers.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable basic actions like page navigation and access to secure areas.

Analytics and Preference Cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting anonymous information. They also allow us to remember your preferences, such as whether you’ve dismissed a pop-up, helping us tailor your experience.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookie settings through your browser. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

How We Use Analytics

To continually improve our content for our UK audience, we use analytics services like Google Analytics, configured to respect data protection standards.

Understanding Our Audience

Analytics help us see which articles resonate most—be it a guide to Italian food at Aspers Casino, Westfield Stratford City or a feature on The Victoria Gate Casino in Leeds—so we can create more of what you love.

Anonymous Data Aggregation

This data is primarily aggregated and anonymised, meaning we see trends (e.g., a surge in interest in Scottish festival guides) without identifying individuals.

Sharing with Third-Party Services

We only share your data with a select group of trusted third-party service providers who assist our operations, under strict data processing agreements.

Service Providers We Trust

  • Email Newsletter Providers: Such as Mailchimp, to manage our subscriptions and communications.
  • Analytics Providers: As mentioned above, for understanding site usage.
  • Payment Processors: Should we ever offer merchandise, these providers would handle transactions securely.

All partners are required to comply with UK data protection laws.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information if required by UK law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of My Slice Fest, our users, or others.
