Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you visit this website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your data in a transparent manner. This policy applies to all pages within this greyhound racing guide, including our Crayford greyhound results content, betting analysis articles and related editorial material.

By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should stop using the site immediately.

What Data We Collect

We collect limited data to operate and improve this website. The types of data we may collect include:

Automatically collected data: when you visit this site, our servers and third-party analytics services may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and analytics cookies.

Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site, to remember preferences, and to measure traffic. Details of the specific cookies we use are set out in our separate Cookie Policy.

We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number or postal address unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or email communication.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes: to analyse site traffic and understand which content is most useful to visitors; to maintain the technical performance and security of the website; to improve the quality, relevance and structure of our greyhound racing content; and to comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply, our legal basis for processing personal data is as follows:

Legitimate interests: we process analytics data to understand site usage and improve our content. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms, given the limited nature of the data collected and the measures we take to protect it.

Consent: where we use non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw through the cookie settings on our site.

Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services that collect data on our behalf. These may include analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which use cookies and process data including your IP address. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. Our hosting provider may record access logs containing IP addresses and request data as part of standard web hosting operations. We also use external services such as Google Fonts to deliver typefaces, which may receive your IP address when your browser requests font files.

We do not embed third-party advertising on this site. Our content contains links to external websites, including official racing bodies such as the Greyhound Board of Great Britain and responsible gambling resources such as BeGambleAware.org. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Server access logs are retained for no more than 90 days. We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to be informed about how your data is used, the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to rectification if any data is inaccurate or incomplete, the right to erasure in certain circumstances, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

We will respond to any rights request within one calendar month. 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). Details are available at ico.org.uk.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we process. The website is served over HTTPS, which encrypts data in transit between your browser and our servers. Access to server infrastructure is restricted to authorised personnel. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This website contains content related to betting and gambling, which is restricted to persons aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through this site, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.

International Transfers

Some of the third-party services we use may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities, to protect your data in accordance with UK data protection law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
