Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

5LionsSlots.com ("we", "us", "our") is an independent informational website dedicated to reviewing Pragmatic Play's 5 Lions slot series — six games released between 2018 and 2025. We publish detailed slot reviews, RTP and volatility data, mechanic breakdowns, and free demo access for every title in the franchise. You can learn more about our team and editorial standards on our About & Author page.

We are not a casino. We do not accept bets, process deposits or withdrawals, hold player funds, or operate under a gambling licence. Our registered address is in Malta.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at our contact page.

2. Data We Collect

Data you provide directly

If you contact us via our contact page, we collect the information you include in your message — typically your name, email address, and the content of your enquiry. We use this solely to respond to you.

Data collected automatically

When you browse this site — whether you're reading a review of 5 Lions, comparing specs on our series comparison page, or exploring any other section — we (and our third-party analytics and advertising partners) may collect:

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, language preference
• Usage data — pages visited, time on page, referring URL, click-through paths, scroll depth
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 5 below

Data collected via free demos

Each slot review page (e.g., 5 Lions Megaways, 5 Lions Reborn) includes a free demo loaded directly from Pragmatic Play's servers. When you play a demo, Pragmatic Play — not us — may collect technical data through their own infrastructure. We do not have access to any data Pragmatic Play collects during demo sessions. Please refer to Pragmatic Play's own privacy policy for details.

We do not collect payment data, government IDs, health data, or any special-category personal data as defined under GDPR.

3. How We Use Your Data

4. Legal Basis (GDPR)

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent — for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or, once implemented, via the cookie consent mechanism on this site.
• Legitimate interests — for security and improving site performance. We balance our interests against your rights and freedoms.
• Contractual necessity — to respond to your enquiry when you contact us.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use — or may use in the future — the following categories:

Strictly necessary

Required for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering your cookie consent choice). These cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand traffic patterns and improve the site. If and when analytics are implemented, we will update this section with the specific provider and opt-out instructions. You will be able to manage your preferences via the cookie consent mechanism on the site or through your browser settings.

Affiliate cookies

Our affiliate partners may set cookies to track referrals when you click through to a casino site. These cookies allow us to be compensated for referrals.

You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality. We plan to implement a cookie consent banner to give you more granular control.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

• Google Fonts — font delivery (Google LLC, USA). We load the Bebas Neue and Nunito typefaces used across the site. Google may log font requests.
• Affiliate networks — referral tracking when you click through to casino sites from our slot review pages
• Pragmatic Play demo servers — the free demos embedded on pages like 5 Lions Gold, 5 Lions Dance, and 5 Lions Megaways 2 are loaded directly from Pragmatic Play's infrastructure. Pragmatic Play may collect its own data during demo sessions.

If we add analytics or other third-party services in the future, this section will be updated accordingly. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, it is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Contact enquiries — retained for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry, then deleted within a reasonable timeframe
• Server logs — retained by our hosting provider for security and diagnostic purposes, in accordance with their own retention policies
• Affiliate tracking data — managed by our affiliate partners under their own data retention policies

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary. If analytics tools are implemented in the future, their specific retention periods will be documented here.

8. Your Rights

Under GDPR and applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction — limit how we process your data
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent — for any processing based on consent, at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page. We will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (Malta) or your local supervisory authority.

9. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for users aged 18 and over. All content — including our slot reviews and free demos — is directed at adults only. Our Terms of Use require all visitors to meet this age threshold. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Security

We use HTTPS encryption across the entire site, keep software and dependencies up to date, and limit access to personal data to authorised personnel only. While no system is 100% secure, we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may provide additional notice on the homepage. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
