Privacy Policy for Our Website

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data on this website. We follow the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the guidance set by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Please read this page carefully before using our site.

Who We Are

This website publishes independent reviews and information about betting sites not on GamStop. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. We are an informational resource only, not a betting operator.

What Data We Collect

We collect data in a few specific ways. Understanding each one helps you make informed choices about your privacy.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to understand how you navigate our site. Google Analytics collects anonymised data such as pages visited, time on site, and device type. You can opt out of Google Analytics via the cookie consent banner when you first visit.

Contact Form Submissions

If you use our contact form, we collect your name and email address. We use this data only to respond to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Affiliate Tracking Links

Our site contains affiliate links to offshore bookmakers not covered by GamStop. When you click one of these links, the bookmaker may set a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie tells the bookmaker you arrived from our site, so we may earn a commission. We do not receive your personal account details from these bookmakers.

How We Share Your Data

We share limited data with trusted third parties to operate this site effectively.

  • Google Analytics: receives anonymised browsing data to help us improve content.
  • Affiliate networks: receive a click identifier when you follow an affiliate link, not your personal details.
  • Hosting providers: may process server log data, including IP addresses, for security purposes.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not share your data with advertisers for profiling purposes.

Affiliate Links and Offshore Bookmakers

Some bookmakers we link to operate outside the UK regulatory framework. They are not licensed by the UKGC. When you visit an offshore bookmaker via our link, that site’s own privacy policy governs your data. We recommend you read their policy before registering an account.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have clear rights regarding your personal data. You can exercise any of the following at any time.

  • Right of access: you can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Right to deletion: you can ask us to delete your personal data from our records.
  • Right to opt out: you can withdraw consent for cookies via your browser settings or our consent tool.
  • Right to object: you can object to how we process your data if you believe it is unlawful.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days, in line with ICO requirements.

Cookie Consent

When you first visit our site, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. You can change your cookie settings at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

Data Retention

We keep contact form data for up to 12 months after your last message. Analytics data is retained for 26 months, which is the default Google Analytics retention period. We delete data sooner if you submit a deletion request.

Security

We use HTTPS encryption across the entire site. Access to any stored contact data is restricted to authorised personnel only. We review our security practices regularly to reduce the risk of a data breach.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Contact Us

For any data-related queries, email us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the ICO at ico.org.uk if you believe we have mishandled your data.
