Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses and protects information when you visit our pages about UK horse racing handicapping. We are committed to safeguarding visitor privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Collect

We do not require registration, account creation or personal data submission to access the content on this site. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers or payment details through our pages.

Certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the site. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address. This data is collected through server logs and analytics tools to help us understand how visitors use the site and to maintain its technical performance.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies. A detailed explanation of the types of cookies we use, their purposes and how to manage them is available in our Cookie Policy. In summary, we may use strictly necessary cookies for site functionality, analytics cookies to understand traffic patterns, and third-party cookies set by embedded services.

How We Use Information

Technical data collected through server logs and analytics is used to monitor site performance and uptime, understand which content is most useful to visitors, identify and resolve technical errors, improve the structure and readability of our guides, and comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We do not use collected data to build individual user profiles, send marketing communications, or sell information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

This site may use third-party services that have their own privacy practices. These include Google Fonts, which loads typefaces from Google servers and may collect anonymised usage data as described in the Google Privacy Policy. Analytics services may also be used to aggregate visitor statistics. Where third-party services are embedded, their respective privacy policies govern how they process data.

Our content links to external websites including the British Horseracing Authority, UK Gambling Commission, Betfair, Racing Post and other industry resources. These links are provided for reference and do not imply data sharing between this site and those organisations. Each external site operates under its own privacy policy.

Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a period necessary to fulfil the purposes described above, typically no longer than 26 months. Aggregated analytics data, which cannot identify individual visitors, may be retained for longer periods to track trends in site usage over time.

Your Rights Under UK Data Protection Law

If you are based in the United Kingdom, the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 grant you rights over your personal data. These include the right to access any personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion of your data, the right to restrict or object to data processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Because we collect minimal personal data and do not require user accounts, most of these rights will have limited practical application. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details provided on this site.

Children’s Privacy

This site publishes content related to horse 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 data from a minor has been collected, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.
