This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, stores, and protects information from visitors. The site provides editorial content about horse racing betting platforms that operate outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. It does not operate as a gambling platform, does not process bets, and does not hold customer funds.
What Information We Collect
We do not require visitors to create an account or provide personal information to access the content on this site. The categories of data we may collect are limited to the following.
Automatically collected technical data. When you visit this site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and cookies. It is used in aggregate form to understand traffic patterns and improve the site. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
Cookies and similar technologies. This site uses cookies as described in our separate Cookie Policy. Cookies enable basic site functionality, remember user preferences, and help us measure how visitors use the site. You can control cookie settings through your browser.
Voluntarily submitted information. If you contact us by email, any information you include in your message — such as your name and email address — is retained solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not add this information to marketing lists or share it with third parties.
How We Use Your Information
Technical data collected through server logs and analytics is used to monitor site performance, identify technical errors, understand which content is most useful to visitors, and protect the site against malicious activity. We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we process data on the following legal bases: legitimate interest for analytics and site security, consent for non-essential cookies, and legitimate interest for responding to enquiries you initiate.
Third-Party Services
This site may use the following categories of third-party services that process visitor data on our behalf.
Analytics. We may use analytics tools to measure site traffic and user behaviour in aggregate. These tools may set their own cookies and collect data such as pages visited, session duration, and approximate geographic location derived from IP address. Data processed by analytics providers is subject to their own privacy policies.
Hosting and content delivery. Our hosting provider processes server logs that include IP addresses and request data as a standard part of delivering web pages. This processing is governed by the hosting provider’s data processing agreement with us.
Font delivery. This site loads web fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these fonts, Google may receive your IP address. Google’s privacy policy governs this data processing. You can find it at policies.google.com/privacy.
Affiliate links. Some links on this site direct you to third-party gambling platforms. When you click such a link, the destination site may use its own cookies and tracking mechanisms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party gambling operators. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information or creating an account.
Data Retention
Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days before being automatically deleted. Analytics data is retained in anonymised, aggregate form. Any personal information submitted via email is retained only as long as necessary to resolve the enquiry and is then deleted.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls on server infrastructure, and regular review of our data handling practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
