This privacy policy explains how we handle your personal data when you visit Castradar.uk, our UK-focused film and television entertainment guide. Whether you are checking cast lists for the latest Netflix series, browsing streaming availability, or signing up for our newsletter, we want you to feel confident about your privacy. The policy is written in plain English and covers what data we collect, why we collect it, your rights under UK data protection law, and how to contact us. If you have any questions, you can reach our data protection team at hello@castradar.uk.
What personal data do we collect and why?
We collect only the personal data you give us directly or that is necessary for our site to function, such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or your browsing activity when you use Castradar.uk. This helps us improve the guides and recommendations we offer to British audiences.
Specifically, we may collect your name and email address if you sign up for our weekly newsletter with streaming updates, fill in a contact form, or submit a tip via Tip Us. We also collect anonymised usage data through cookies and analytics to understand which cast guides, episode guides, and film explainers are most useful to readers. This data is used for legitimate interests such as improving content quality and site performance. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies via our cookie policy.
How do we use cookies and tracking?
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, analyse site traffic, and personalise your experience of our film and TV guides. For full details, please see our separate Cookie Policy.
Essential cookies keep the site running correctly – for example, remembering which streaming platform you last selected. Non-essential cookies help us understand which cast lists and release schedules are most popular, so we can create better content. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie banner or the settings in your browser.
How this works in practice
Imagine you are looking up the full cast of a new Amazon Prime series on Castradar.uk. While you browse, we may use a cookie to remember that you prefer to see streaming availability for Prime over other platforms. If you then sign up for our newsletter to receive weekly TV guides, we will store your email address securely. We will never sell that address or use it for anything other than sending the newsletter you requested. Should you later ask us to delete your data, we will remove your email and any associated profile within 30 days, as required by UK GDPR.
Who is responsible for your data?
Castradar.uk is operated by Europa Point Publishing Ltd., a private company limited by shares registered in Gibraltar (company number 130118, registered office Office 2.5, ICC, Casemates Square, Gibraltar GX11 1AA). Europa Point Publishing Ltd. is the data controller for all personal data collected through this site.
We are committed to meeting the standards of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. While our registered office is in Gibraltar, we have appointed a UK representative for data protection matters. You can contact our data protection team directly at hello@castradar.uk.
What are your rights and how can you exercise them?
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or transfer your personal data, as well as the right to restrict or object to our processing of it. You can exercise any of these rights free of charge by emailing hello@castradar.uk.
We will respond to your request within one month. If you are unhappy with our response, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent data protection regulator. You can contact the ICO via their website at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
How long do we keep your data?
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the service you requested or to comply with legal obligations. For example, newsletter subscriber emails are retained until you unsubscribe, after which they are deleted within 30 days. Browsing analytics data is anonymised after 26 months.
Do we share your data with third parties?
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who help us operate the site, such as our hosting provider, email delivery service, and analytics platforms. These providers are contractually bound to process your data only on our instructions and to keep it secure.
International transfers
Your data may be processed outside the UK, including in Gibraltar and the European Economic Area. We ensure that any such transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards, such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.
In short
We collect and use your personal data only to make Castradar.uk a better, more relevant film and TV guide for you. You have full control over your data, and you can contact us at any time at hello@castradar.uk to exercise your rights. We never sell your information and we are transparent about what we do with it.
