Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our greyhound betting odds guide. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information to operate and improve this website. The types of data we may collect include:

Automatically collected data. When you visit this site, our web servers and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, 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 interact with our content. Details of the specific cookies we use, their purpose, and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, or payment details through this website. We do not operate user accounts, registration forms, or mailing lists.

How We Use Your Information

The automatically collected data described above is used for the following purposes:

To analyse visitor traffic and understand which pages and sections of our greyhound betting guide are most useful, so that we can improve the content. To monitor the technical performance of the site, identify errors, and ensure pages load correctly across devices. To detect and prevent misuse of the website, including automated scraping and abusive access patterns.

We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making, or targeted advertising based on your browsing behaviour across other websites.

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your data:

Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for analytics and site performance monitoring. Our legitimate interest is understanding how visitors use the site so that we can maintain and improve it. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms, given that the data collected is limited and non-identifying in most cases.

Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for non-essential cookies. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the site to function, we obtain your consent before placing them. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie management options.

Data Sharing

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

We may share anonymised, aggregated analytics data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the website, such as hosting providers and analytics platforms. These providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements that comply with UK GDPR requirements.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request from a UK regulatory authority or law enforcement body.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days before being automatically deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form and does not contain information that identifies individual visitors. Cookie data expires according to the durations set out in our Cookie Policy.

Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), to protect your data in accordance with UK data protection standards.

Your Rights

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

The right to access the personal data we hold about you. The right to request correction of inaccurate data. The right to request deletion of your data, subject to legal obligations. The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances. The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. The right to data portability where technically feasible.

To exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this policy. We will respond to valid requests within one calendar month, as required by UK GDPR.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.

Children’s Privacy

This website publishes educational content about greyhound betting odds and is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Our content may contain links to external websites, including bookmaker sites, racing authorities such as the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, and responsible gambling organisations such as BeGambleAware. These third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised “last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
