Our Privacy & Data Promise

We believe great design requires great responsibility, and that includes how we, at Translations in Tupperware, handle your personal information. This policy outlines our practices as a UK-based blog dedicated to product design, slot machine design, and gaming UX competitions. We are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy within our design-focused community.

What Information We Collect and Why

To run our blog, competitions, and newsletters effectively, we collect information in two primary ways: data you provide directly and data collected automatically through your interaction with our site. This includes details for updates on our own ‘Casino Game Design Challenge’.

Information You Provide

This is data you knowingly give us when you:

  • Sign up for our editorial newsletter.
  • Enter a design contest or competition featured on our site.
  • Submit a comment on a blog post.
  • Contact us via email or a contact form.

This typically includes your name and email address, and for competition entries, may include additional submission materials.

Information Collected Automatically

As you navigate our site, we automatically collect certain technical data. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you visit. This helps us understand site performance and user engagement.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance functionality and analyse use. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your preferences for comment forms.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

These allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance. They help us know which posts on slot machine mechanics or iGaming awards are most popular. Our primary tool for this is Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

Advertising Cookies

We may use limited advertising cookies to help us understand the effectiveness of promotional content related to gaming UX competitions or design awards. These are not used for extensive profiling.

How We Use Analytics

We use analytics to make informed decisions about our content and ensure it resonates with our audience, particularly within the United Kingdom.

Purpose of Analytics

We analyse aggregated data to understand trends, such as which articles on product design contests in the UK are most engaging, how users find our site, and how they interact with our content. This helps us improve the user experience.

Data Anonymisation

Within tools like Google Analytics 4 (GA4), we take steps to anonymise data where possible. We do not use analytics to personally identify individual visitors.

Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

We engage trusted third-party service providers to support our operations. We do not sell your personal data.

Service Providers

We use providers for services like:

  • Web Analytics: Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
  • Email Marketing: Platforms like MailerLite for our newsletters.
  • Web Hosting: Companies that host our website servers.

These partners access data only to perform specific tasks on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.

Competition & Award Partners

If you enter a competition we feature, such as the ‘BigDeal’ design competition backed by the UK Gambling Commission, your provided entry data will be shared only with the relevant competition organisers to facilitate your entry. This sharing is explicit and will be clear at the point of entry.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a blog operating under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, we adhere to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). You have significant rights regarding your personal data.
