At GamblingStats.co.uk, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
1. Data Controller
GamblingStats.co.uk operates under UK law and acts as the data controller for personal information you provide. We are responsible for ensuring that your data is handled lawfully and transparently.
You may contact us directly at [email protected] with questions or requests regarding your data, including access, correction, or deletion.
2. What We Collect
We may collect personal data such as your name, email address, and IP address when you contact us or interact with our site. We only collect what is necessary for legitimate purposes.
No sensitive personal data (e.g., health or financial records) is collected through our site unless explicitly provided by you for contact purposes.
3. How We Use Data
Your personal data is used to respond to enquiries, improve user experience, and manage site functionality. We do not use your data for automated profiling or decision-making.
We will never sell or lease your personal information to third parties. Any data shared externally will be anonymised or aggregated where possible.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data based on consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interest, depending on the context of data collection.
Where consent is required (e.g., newsletter subscriptions), you will be asked clearly and separately. You can withdraw consent at any time without penalty.
5. Cookies & Tracking
GamblingStats.co.uk uses cookies to enhance site usability and analyse traffic. These may include essential, functional, and performance cookies.
We display a cookie banner allowing you to manage preferences. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but this could affect functionality.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services (e.g., analytics tools, web hosting providers) that process limited personal data on our behalf.
These partners are contractually bound to comply with UK GDPR standards and cannot use your data for their own purposes without your consent.
7. Data Security
We employ technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This includes SSL encryption, firewalls, and secure hosting.
While no system is completely immune, we regularly review our procedures and security infrastructure to maintain best practices.
8. International Transfers
Your personal data is primarily processed within the UK. If data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure it is protected through legally binding mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
We avoid unnecessary international transfers and ensure that any non-UK processing partners uphold high data protection standards.
9. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law.
Once no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymised. You may request erasure at any time under the right to be forgotten.
10. Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of your personal data.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data rights have been infringed.
