ohhappytreats.ie operates as an independent editorial website dedicated to reviewing and comparing online casino platforms available to players in Ireland. We do not function as a gambling operator, accept wagers, manage player accounts, or hold any gaming licence. Our sole purpose is to deliver well-researched, impartial content that helps readers make informed choices about where to play.
This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data collected when you visit ohhappytreats.ie, the reasons behind that collection, how the data is processed, and the rights available to you under Irish and European data protection legislation. By using this website you confirm that you have read and understood the practices described here. If you disagree with any part of this policy, we ask that you stop using the site.
We handle two broad categories of data: information you give us voluntarily, and information that is recorded automatically when you browse our pages.

We do not collect payment card numbers, banking credentials, or any special category data as defined by Article 9 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

ohhappytreats.ie earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When a visitor clicks one of our casino links and goes on to register or deposit at that casino, we may receive a referral commission. This commission is paid by the casino operator and adds no cost to you as a player.
Our commercial arrangements with operators do not influence the editorial process. Every casino on this site is assessed using the same consistent criteria — licensing status, bonus fairness, game quality, payment options, and support responsiveness. We refuse to feature any platform that fails to meet our editorial standards, regardless of the commercial terms available.

Once data has served its purpose, it is either permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymised. We do not retain personal information beyond what is reasonably justified.
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, modification, or disclosure. These measures include:
No system of online data transmission can be made entirely immune to risk. While we take every reasonable precaution, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. In the event of a personal data breach that could affect your rights or freedoms, we will notify both you and the relevant supervisory authority as required under GDPR.

If you are under 18, please leave this website now and do not share any personal details with us.
