We do not collect financial information, payment card details or betting account credentials. This website does not operate as a bookmaker, does not process wagers and does not hold customer funds.

We process personal data on the following legal grounds under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:

Legitimate interests. We use analytics data to understand how visitors engage with our content, to improve site performance and to ensure security. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.

Legal obligation. We may process data where required to comply with applicable law, regulation or a lawful request from a public authority.

How We Use Your Data

Personal data collected through this website is used for the following purposes: operating and maintaining the website, analysing traffic patterns and user behaviour to improve content and user experience, responding to enquiries you send us, detecting and preventing security threats or abuse, and complying with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services that process personal data on our behalf. These include analytics providers (such as Google Analytics), hosting and content delivery providers, and email service providers used to handle correspondence. Each third-party processor is required to handle your data in accordance with applicable data protection law and only for the purposes we specify.

Where data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or adequacy decisions.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Analytics data is retained in aggregated or anonymised form.

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

Right to data portability. You may request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to object. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, and we will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
