Privacy Policy: Your Data Rights Explained

This Privacy Policy explains how Betting Sites Not on GamStop collects, uses, and protects your 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.

Who We Are

This website is an independent, informational review site. We do not hold a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. We do not accept bets, process payments, or operate any gambling service directly.

What Data We Collect

We collect data in three main ways: cookies, contact form submissions, and affiliate link clicks. Each type is explained clearly below. We only collect what is necessary for the site to function properly.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site. We use Google Analytics to understand how you navigate our pages. This data includes your approximate location, browser type, and pages visited, but not your name or email address.

Contact Form Submissions

If you submit a contact form, we collect your name and email address. We use this data solely to respond to your query. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Affiliate Tracking Links

Our site contains affiliate links to offshore bookmakers not covered by UKGC regulation. When you click one of these links, the bookmaker may set its own tracking cookies on your device. Those cookies are governed by the bookmaker’s own privacy policy, not ours. We recommend you review each bookmaker’s policy before registering.

How We Share Your Data

We share limited data with two categories of third parties: affiliate networks and Google Analytics. Affiliate networks receive a click identifier to attribute any commission we earn. Google Analytics receives anonymised browsing data to help us improve the site.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not share your contact form details with affiliate partners. Any data sharing is strictly limited to what is described in this policy.

Affiliate Links and Offshore Bookmakers

Some bookmakers we review are licensed outside the UK, for example in Curacao or Malta. These operators are not regulated by the UKGC. When you click an affiliate link, you leave our site and enter a jurisdiction with different data protection rules. We earn a commission if you register, but we do not receive any of your personal registration data from the bookmaker.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • 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 data at any time.
  • Right to opt out: You can withdraw consent for cookies or analytics tracking.
  • Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Right to portability: You can request your data in a machine-readable format.

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

Cookie Consent

When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences individually. You can change your cookie settings at any time via the consent tool at the bottom of every page.

Essential cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. Analytics and affiliate tracking cookies are optional. Disabling them will not affect your ability to read our reviews.

Data Retention

We retain contact form data for up to 12 months after your query is resolved. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for 14 months by default. We do not store affiliate click data ourselves; that is held by the affiliate network.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to external bookmaker websites we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Always check the privacy policy of any site you visit via our links.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Contact Us

For any data-related requests or questions, email us at [email protected]. For complaints about how we handle your data, you can also contact the ICO directly at ico.org.uk.
