Privacy Policy: Your Data Rights Explained

This privacy policy explains how Betting Sites Not on GamStop collects, uses, and protects your data. We operate under the UK GDPR framework, overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Please read this page carefully before using our site.

Who We Are

We run an informational review website about betting sites not on GamStop. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. We do not accept bets, process payments, or operate any gambling service.

What Data We Collect

We collect limited data depending on how you interact with the site. The main categories are listed below.

  • Cookies and analytics data: We use Google Analytics to track page visits, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is anonymised and aggregated.
  • Contact form submissions: If you contact us, we collect your name and email address. We use this only to respond to your query.
  • Affiliate tracking data: When you click an affiliate link, the destination bookmaker may set its own tracking cookies. We explain this further below.

Cookies and How We Use Them

We use first-party cookies to remember your cookie consent choice. We also load Google Analytics cookies, which are third-party cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie banner.

Google Analytics uses cookies such as _ga and _gid. These cookies expire after 2 years and 24 hours respectively. They do not identify you personally.

Affiliate Links to Offshore Bookmakers

Some links on this site are affiliate links to offshore bookmakers not regulated by the UKGC. When you click one of these links, the bookmaker’s own tracking system records your visit. That bookmaker then becomes a separate data controller for any data you provide to them.

We may receive a commission if you register with a linked bookmaker. This commission does not affect our editorial reviews. You should read each bookmaker’s own privacy policy before registering.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We share data with the following third parties in limited circumstances.

  • Google Analytics: Anonymised usage data is shared with Google under their data processing terms.
  • Affiliate networks: Click-through data (such as timestamps and referring pages) may be shared with affiliate tracking platforms. No personally identifiable information is included in these transfers.
  • Legal obligations: We may disclose data if required by law or a regulatory authority.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not share your contact form data with affiliate networks.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have clear rights over your personal data under UK GDPR. These rights are listed below.

  • Right of access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
  • Right to opt out: You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time via our cookie settings.
  • Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate data we hold about you.
  • Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days, as required by UK GDPR.

Cookie Consent

When you first visit the site, a cookie banner asks for your consent. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or adjust your preferences. Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie for 12 months.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time. Rejecting analytics cookies will not affect your ability to read our content.

Data Retention

Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months after your query is resolved. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for 14 months by default. We review retention periods annually.

Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption across the entire site. Access to any stored contact data is restricted to authorised personnel only. We do not store payment card data at any point.

Children’s Data

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us at [email protected] immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Contact and Complaints

For any data-related queries, email us at [email protected]. If you are unhappy with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at ico.org.uk. The ICO is the UK’s independent data protection authority.
