Who We Are
This website publishes independent editorial content about betting on the Grand National and horse racing in the United Kingdom. We do not operate a gambling service, accept wagers, or hold any Gambling Commission licence. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data when you visit our site.
What Data We Collect
We collect minimal data. Specifically:
- Automatically collected data: When you visit the site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected in aggregate form and is not used to identify individuals.
- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies for analytics and basic site functionality. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy.
We do not collect names, email addresses, payment details, or other directly identifying personal information through this website. There are no user accounts, registration forms, newsletters, or comment sections on this site.
How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used for the following purposes:
- Understanding how visitors use the site so we can improve content and navigation.
- Monitoring site performance, uptime, and security.
- Complying with legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), our legal basis for processing automatically collected data is legitimate interest — specifically, the interest in understanding site usage and maintaining security. For cookies that are not strictly necessary, our legal basis is consent, obtained through the cookie notice displayed on your first visit.
Third-Party Services
This site may use third-party services that process data on our behalf. These may include:
- Hosting provider: Servers that store and deliver the website may log access data including IP addresses.
- Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand site traffic in aggregate. Where these tools set cookies, this is disclosed in our Cookie Policy.
- Font delivery: We load web fonts from Google Fonts, which may involve your browser making requests to Google servers. Google’s privacy policy applies to that data exchange.
We do not use advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking scripts on this site.
External Links
This site contains links to third-party websites including bookmaker sites, regulatory bodies, and statistical sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. When you follow a link away from this site, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Data Retention
Server logs containing IP addresses and access data are retained for no longer than 90 days before being deleted or anonymised. Analytics data is retained in aggregate, anonymised form and does not contain personally identifiable information.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Request access to any personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
- Object to or restrict the processing of your data.
- Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
Because we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, in most cases there will be no personally identifiable data to retrieve. If you believe we hold data about you, or if you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us through the details provided on our About page.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed at anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. The subject matter of this site — betting and gambling — is restricted to adults aged 18 and over under United Kingdom law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We recommend checking this page periodically.
Supervisory Authority
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent body for data protection. You can contact the ICO through their website at ico.org.uk.
