This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information obtained through this website. We are committed to handling all personal data responsibly and in full compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
For the purposes of data protection law, we — the team behind nongamstop.bookmakers.ink — are the data controller. This means we are responsible for deciding how and why personal data relating to you is processed.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: directly from you, and automatically as you use our website.
Information you provide directly
The only personal information we collect directly from visitors is through email enquiries. If you contact us via our email address, we will receive your name (if provided), your email address, and the content of your message. We do not operate contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, account registration, or any other mechanism that collects personal data on our website.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical data is collected automatically as part of normal web server and analytics operations. This includes your IP address (which may be anonymised depending on your browser settings and our analytics configuration), your browser type and version, the operating system you are using, the pages you visit on our site, the time and date of your visit, and the website that referred you to us.
This automatically collected data is processed through Google Analytics and is used solely to help us understand how visitors interact with our content so that we can improve the website. We do not use this data to identify individual users.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to enable certain functions and to gather analytical data. We use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. These cannot be disabled and do not require your consent under UK GDPR. They include cookies that manage your session and ensure security.
Analytical cookies are set by Google Analytics and help us understand how visitors navigate our website. These cookies collect information in an aggregated and anonymised form and do not identify individual users. We use this data to improve our content and user experience. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Affiliate tracking cookies may be set when you click on links to third-party betting operators featured on our website. These cookies enable the relevant operator to identify that a referral originated from our site. We do not receive any personal information from these cookies; they exist solely to allow us to earn a commission where applicable. Further information about our affiliate relationships is set out below.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website or third-party services you access through it.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Relationships
Our website contains affiliate links to third-party betting operators. This means that when you click on one of these links and subsequently open an account or make a qualifying transaction, we may receive a commission from the relevant operator. This commission is how we fund our editorial work.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial independence. The ratings, reviews, and opinions we publish are based solely on our own testing and assessment criteria, as described in our How We Review page. We are not paid to produce positive reviews, and our commission arrangements do not alter the content of any review.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites you access through our affiliate links. We strongly recommend that you read the privacy policy of any operator before creating an account or providing personal information to them.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
Email enquiries are processed so that we can respond to your query. We do not use your email address for marketing purposes, add you to any mailing list, share your details with third parties, or use your contact information for any purpose other than responding to your specific enquiry.
Automatically collected analytics data is used to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and understand user behaviour in aggregate. This information is not used to profile individuals, make automated decisions, or target advertising.
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. We will only disclose personal data to third parties if we are required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect our legal rights.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
Email enquiries and the personal data contained within them are retained for a maximum of 12 months from the date of receipt. After this period, email correspondence is deleted.
Analytical data collected through Google Analytics is retained in anonymised form for longer periods as permitted by Google Analytics’ standard data retention settings, as this data cannot be attributed to any individual user.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under UK GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights apply to the extent that we hold personal data about you, which in most cases will be limited to any email correspondence you have initiated with us.
Right of access — you have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification — if any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct it.
Right to erasure — in certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete the personal data we hold about you.
Right to restriction of processing — in certain circumstances, you have the right to ask us to restrict how we process your personal data.
Right to object — you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all requests within one month. Please note that these rights are not absolute and may be subject to exceptions under UK GDPR.
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection. You can contact the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
Security
We take the security of personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. Our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, which means that data transmitted between your browser and our web server is encrypted in transit.
Access to personal data held by us — including email correspondence — is restricted to members of our team who have a legitimate need to access it. We do not store personal data on third-party servers except where we use reputable providers such as Google Analytics, which have their own robust security measures in place.
While we take all reasonable precautions, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot therefore guarantee the absolute security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the law, or the way we operate the website. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
Continued use of our website following the publication of any changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgement of those changes. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].
