Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Betting Sites Not on GamStop handles when you read our guides to bookmakers licensed outside Great Britain that accept UK customers. We have kept it short and in plain English, so you can see exactly what happens to your data without needing a law degree.
Who is responsible for your data
The operator of befitlocal.co.uk is the controller of any personal data collected through this site. For any privacy question, request or concern, write to [email protected]. That inbox is the single point of contact for everything covered on this page.
What we collect
We collect very little, because the site has no accounts, no logins, no comment sections and no forms. What we do receive falls into three groups:
Server logs: your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the pages you view and the time of each request. Our hosting records these automatically whenever a page loads.
Analytics data: information about how visitors move around the site, such as which bookmaker reviews are read most and how long people stay on a page.
Emails: if you write to us, we keep your email address and whatever you choose to include in the message.
Cookies and analytics
We use two kinds of cookie. Essential cookies remember things such as your consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. Analytics cookies help us understand which guides are useful and which need work. Analytics cookies only run if you agree to them through the consent choice shown on your first visit. You can also block or delete them at any time in your browser settings. Saying no changes nothing about how the site works: every page, comparison and checklist stays fully available.
Links to bookmakers
Some links to bookmakers are affiliate links. When you click one, a referral parameter is added to the address so the bookmaker can record that a sign-up came from us. We do not see your name, deposit or betting activity. Once you land on the bookmaker's site, its own privacy policy applies, so read it before you register or hand over any documents.
Who processes data for us
We rely on a small number of service providers: a hosting company, an analytics provider and an email provider. They handle data only on our instructions and only to deliver their service to us. We do not sell personal data to anyone, and we do not build advertising profiles of our readers.
Legal basis and how long we keep data
We process server logs on the basis of our legitimate interests in running the site, keeping it secure and fixing faults. Analytics cookies rely on your consent, which you can withdraw whenever you like. Server logs are kept for a short, fixed period and then deleted automatically. Emails are kept for as long as we need to answer them and deal with any follow-up, then removed. No method of storing or sending data online is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what we hold.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can:
ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
ask us to correct anything that is wrong;
ask us to delete your data;
object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
To use any of these rights, email [email protected] and tell us what you would like us to do. If you are unhappy with our reply, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Age
This site covers gambling and is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has contacted us, let us know and we will delete the message.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our tools, providers or the law change. The version published on this page is the one that applies to your visit, so it is worth checking back from time to time.
