Privacy Policy: Your Data Rights Explained

This privacy policy explains how Betting Sites Not on GamStop collects, uses, and protects your personal 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.

Important notice: This website is informational only. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence and do not accept bets or process payments.

1. Who We Are

We run a review and information website about betting sites not on GamStop. Our site contains editorial content, comparisons, and affiliate links to third-party offshore bookmakers. We are the data controller for information collected through this website.

2. What Data We Collect

  • Cookies and analytics data: We use Google Analytics 4 to track page visits, session duration, and device type. 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, a tracking cookie is placed on your device. This tells the bookmaker’s affiliate network that you arrived via our site.

3. Cookies and How We Use Them

We use three categories of cookies on this site. First, strictly necessary cookies keep the site functioning. Second, analytics cookies (Google Analytics) help us understand how you use our pages. Third, affiliate tracking cookies record clicks on outbound bookmaker links.

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can also clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Declining analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read our content.

4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Data Sharing

Our site contains affiliate links to offshore bookmakers not regulated by the UKGC. When you click one of these links, you leave our site entirely. The bookmaker and its affiliate network may collect your IP address, device data, and browsing behaviour under their own privacy policies.

We earn a commission if you register and deposit with a linked bookmaker. We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not pass your contact form details to affiliate networks.

We recommend you read the privacy policy of any bookmaker you visit. These operators are licensed in jurisdictions such as Malta (MGA), Gibraltar, or Curaçao. Their data practices are governed by their own regulators, not the ICO.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, operated by Google LLC, based in the United States. Data is transferred under Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Contact form data: Retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.
  • Analytics data: Retained in Google Analytics for 14 months by default.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies: Typically expire within 30 to 90 days, depending on the bookmaker’s affiliate programme.

7. 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 the data we hold about you.
  • Right to deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data at any time.
  • Right to object: You can opt out of analytics tracking via our cookie banner or your browser settings.
  • Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate data we hold.
  • Right to restrict processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data while a dispute is resolved.

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

8. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner appears. You choose which cookie categories to accept. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical steps to protect any data you submit via our contact form. Our site uses HTTPS encryption on all pages. We do not store payment information, as we do not process any transactions.

10. Children’s Data

Our 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 to us, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

11. 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 means you accept the revised policy.

12. Contact and Complaints

For any data-related queries, email [email protected]. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO at ico.org.uk.
