This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you visit this website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This policy applies to all pages within this site, including our greyhound racing guides, form analysis tools, and educational betting content.
Information We Collect
We collect limited information to operate and improve this website. The types of data we may process include:
Automatically collected data. When you visit our pages, our servers and third-party analytics services may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of your visit, and time spent on each page. This data is collected through server logs and analytics tools and is used in aggregate to understand how visitors interact with our content.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and local storage to support site functionality and to gather anonymous usage statistics. Full details of our cookie practices are available in our Cookie Policy.
Information you provide voluntarily. If you contact us through any available communication channel, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. We do not collect payment information, as this site does not sell products or process transactions.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
To operate and maintain the website, ensuring pages load correctly and content displays as intended across devices and browsers. To analyse visitor behaviour in aggregate, helping us understand which greyhound racing topics, betting guides, and form analysis sections are most useful to our audience. To improve our content based on usage patterns, such as identifying which sections readers spend the most time on or which pages have high exit rates. To respond to enquiries if you contact us directly. To detect and prevent abuse, spam, or unauthorised access to our systems.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Legal Basis for Processing
Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases for processing personal data: legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our website; consent where you have given it, particularly in relation to non-essential cookies; and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.
Third-Party Services
This website may use third-party services that process data on our behalf. These may include analytics providers that collect anonymised usage data, content delivery networks that serve site assets from geographically distributed servers, and font delivery services such as Google Fonts. Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers. Where links to external sites appear in our content, including links to bookmakers, racing data providers such as the GBGB, Racing Post, Timeform, and Greyhound-Data.com, or responsible gambling organisations such as BeGambleAware, those sites operate independently and are subject to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of external websites.
Data Retention
Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days before being deleted or fully anonymised. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and does not identify individual visitors after processing. If you contact us, we retain your correspondence for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
Your Rights
Under UK data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided on this site. We will respond to your request within one calendar month.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections via HTTPS, regular software updates, and restricted access to server infrastructure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This website publishes content related to greyhound racing and betting analysis. It is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected data 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, technology, 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.
