Privacy Policy

Updated: February 2026

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

Information We Collect

We collect limited data to operate and improve this website. The types of information we may process fall into the following categories.

Automatically collected data. When you visit any page on this site, our web server and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and, where you have given consent, through analytics cookies.

Cookie data. We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with the site. Details of the specific cookies we use, their purposes, and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

Voluntarily provided data. If you contact us through any form or email link on the site, we will receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name and email address. We do not require registration to access any content on this website.

How We Use Your Information

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The purposes for which we use information include the following:

  • Operating and maintaining the website, including ensuring pages load correctly and resolving technical issues.
  • Analysing aggregate traffic patterns to understand which content is most useful to visitors and to inform editorial decisions.
  • Responding to enquiries you send to us directly.
  • Complying with legal obligations, including those imposed by UK data protection law and the UK Gambling Commission where applicable.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Lawful Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases:

  • Legitimate interests for processing server log data and aggregated analytics, where this is necessary to maintain site security and improve content quality. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent for setting non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or the cookie consent mechanism on this site.
  • Contractual necessity where you contact us and we need to process your information to respond.

Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services that process data on our behalf. These include:

  • Web analytics providers that help us understand visitor behaviour through aggregated, anonymised data.
  • Content delivery networks that serve web fonts and static assets to improve page load performance.
  • Hosting providers whose servers store and deliver the website.

Where third-party services transfer data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions recognised by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

This site contains links to external websites, including bookmaker sites, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, GamCare and BeGambleAware. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies independently.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days before automatic deletion. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form. Any personal data you provide through direct contact is retained only as long as necessary to address your enquiry, after which it is deleted.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data where there is no ongoing lawful reason for us to retain it.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent for cookie-based data collection at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) if you believe your data rights have been violated.

Children’s Privacy

This website publishes content related to gambling and betting, which is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that data has been collected from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
