Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you visit this website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Information We Collect

We collect limited data to operate this website and improve its content. The types of information we may collect include:

Automatically collected data. When you visit our pages, our web servers and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.

Voluntarily provided data. If you contact us through any form or email link on this site, we may collect your name, email address and the content of your message. We do not collect this information unless you actively provide it.

We do not collect financial information, betting account details, payment card numbers or any data related to your gambling activity. This website is an editorial guide and does not process bets, transactions or account registrations.

How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

To analyse website traffic and understand how visitors use our content, which helps us improve the quality and relevance of our greyhound betting guides. To respond to enquiries or messages you send us. To maintain the security and technical performance of the website. To comply with legal obligations under UK law.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Under UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests. We collect analytics data to understand site usage and improve our content. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms, given the limited and non-sensitive nature of the data involved.

Consent. Where we use non-essential cookies or tracking technologies, we rely on your consent, which you can manage through the cookie settings on this site.

Legal obligation. We may process data where required to comply with applicable UK law or regulation.

Data Sharing

We may share data with the following categories of recipients:

Analytics providers. We use third-party analytics services to understand website traffic. These providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements that require them to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Hosting providers. Our website is hosted by a third-party provider that may have access to server logs containing IP addresses and access data as part of normal hosting operations.

Legal and regulatory authorities. We may disclose data if required by law, court order or regulation, or to protect our legal rights.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months from the date of collection, after which it is automatically deleted or anonymised. Any personal data you provide through direct communication is retained only for as long as necessary to address your enquiry, and no longer than 12 months from the date of your last contact, unless a longer period is required by law.

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

The right to access the personal data we hold about you. The right to request correction of inaccurate data. The right to request deletion of your data, subject to any legal obligations we may have. The right to restrict or object to certain types of processing. The right to data portability where applicable. The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this page. We will respond to your request within one calendar month, as required by UK GDPR.

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 UK Information Commissioner’s Office, to protect your data to a standard equivalent to UK GDPR.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This website contains content related to gambling and is intended for users 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 collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or the services we use. The “last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
