Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you use this website, how that data is processed, and what rights you have over it. We operate under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy applies to all pages on this site.

We take data protection seriously. We do not sell personal data to third parties. We do not share personal data with gambling operators. We collect the minimum data necessary to run this website and improve the experience for visitors.

What Data We Collect

When you visit this site, we may collect the following categories of data:

Automatically collected data. Our web server and analytics tools record standard technical information when you load a page. This includes your IP address (anonymised where possible), 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 cookies.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its performance. A detailed breakdown of the cookies we use is available in our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

Voluntarily provided data. If you contact us through any communication channel available on this site, we will receive whatever information you choose to include in your message. We do not require you to provide personal data to browse this website.

How We Use Your Data

We process personal data for the following purposes, each supported by a lawful basis under UK GDPR:

Website analytics and performance. We use anonymised traffic data to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors spend reading content, and where traffic originates. This helps us improve our editorial coverage and identify technical problems. The lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the website.

Security and fraud prevention. Server log data is used to detect and prevent malicious activity, including automated scraping, denial-of-service attempts, and unauthorised access. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in protecting the website and its visitors.

Legal compliance. We may process data where required to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to a lawful data access request from a regulatory authority.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes described above:

Hosting and infrastructure providers. Our website is hosted by a third-party provider that processes server log data on our behalf. These providers are contractually bound to process data only on our instructions and in compliance with UK data protection law.

Analytics services. We use analytics tools that process anonymised or pseudonymised usage data. Where these services operate outside the UK, appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Legal authorities. We will disclose personal data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days before automatic deletion. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form and does not identify individual users. If you contact us directly, any correspondence is retained for up to 12 months after the last communication, unless a longer retention period is required for legal purposes.

Your Rights

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

Right of access. You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification. You can ask us to correct any inaccurate data.

Right to erasure. You can ask us to delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain it.

Right to restrict processing. You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

Right to data portability. You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to object. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including processing for analytics purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details provided on this website. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, as required by law.
