We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, or gambling account details. Our site is an editorial and analytical resource; we do not process betting transactions or store payment information.
How We Use Your Data
We process personal data for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the website, ensuring content loads correctly and the site functions as intended across devices and browsers.
To analyse website traffic and user behaviour in aggregate, allowing us to improve content quality, identify popular topics, and optimise site performance.
To ensure security by detecting and preventing malicious activity, spam, or unauthorised access attempts.
To comply with legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): we process technical and usage data to operate the website, improve content, and ensure security. We have assessed that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): where we use non-essential cookies or analytics tools that require consent, we obtain your permission through our cookie consent mechanism before activating those technologies.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): we may process data where required to comply with applicable law.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data with the following categories of recipients:
Hosting and infrastructure providers who store and serve our website content. These providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements that require them to protect your data in accordance with UK GDPR standards.
Analytics service providers who help us understand website usage patterns. Data shared with these providers is aggregated or pseudonymised where possible.
Law enforcement or regulatory bodies where we are legally required to disclose information.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or transfers to countries with an adequacy decision.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Aggregated analytics data, which cannot identify individuals, may be retained indefinitely for trend analysis.
