This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you visit and interact with our content. We are committed to handling your information responsibly and in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, you should stop using the site.
What Data We Collect
We collect limited data to operate and improve this website. The categories of data we may process include the following.
Automatically collected data. When you visit the site, our servers and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and analytics scripts. IP addresses are anonymised where technically feasible.
Cookie data. We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. These may generate identifiers stored on your device that allow us to recognise returning visitors and understand browsing patterns in aggregate.
Voluntarily provided data. If you contact us through any communication channel available on this site, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect this data unless you choose to provide it.
We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, gambling account details, or any special category data as defined under UK GDPR Article 9.
How We Use Your Data
We process personal data for the following purposes, each supported by a lawful basis under UK GDPR.
Legitimate interest. We use automatically collected data and cookie data to analyse website traffic, understand which content is most useful to visitors, identify technical issues, and improve the site. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in operating and improving an informational resource. We have assessed that this interest does not override your rights and freedoms, given the limited and largely anonymous nature of the data involved.
Consent. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of the site, we rely on your consent before setting them. You can manage your preferences at any time as described in our Cookie Policy.
Contractual or pre-contractual necessity. If you contact us with an enquiry, we process the data you provide in order to respond to your request.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.
We may share data with the following categories of recipients, solely to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Analytics providers. We use third-party analytics services to process aggregated and anonymised usage data. These providers act as data processors and are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Hosting and infrastructure providers. Our website is hosted by third-party infrastructure providers who may process server log data as part of delivering the service. These providers operate under data processing agreements that require appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
Legal obligations. We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or if necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety or the rights, property, or safety of others.
International Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), an adequacy decision by the UK Secretary of State, or the service provider’s participation in a recognised certification mechanism.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days. Analytics data is retained in anonymised or aggregated form. If you contact us, we retain your correspondence for up to 12 months after the last communication unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data.
Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification. You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure. You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
Right to restrict processing. You may request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Right to object. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided on this website. We will respond to valid requests within one month, as required by law. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS/TLS, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel, and regular review of our security practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps commensurate with the sensitivity of the data we process.
Children
This website publishes informational content about gambling in the United Kingdom. The content is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.
Third-Party Links
This site contains links to external websites, including gambling operators, regulatory bodies, and support organisations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit.
Complaints
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection. You can contact the ICO through their website at ico.org.uk.
