Privacy policy for visitors to this NetBet guide
This notice explains how the publisher of this website handles personal data when you browse, email us, or interact with optional cookies. It does not describe how NetBet processes data when you register a gambling account, verify your identity, or place bets on NetBet’s licensed services. For that, read NetBet’s official privacy documentation.
Data controller
The legal entity identified in the site footer (with contact details) is the data controller for processing on this domain. Mentioning the NetBet trademark in articles does not make NetBet our joint controller for editorial traffic.
Information we collect automatically
Servers and security systems log IP addresses, timestamps, requested URLs, response codes and browser user-agent strings. We use these records to keep the site online, block abuse, and understand aggregated readership. Logs are retained for a limited period consistent with security needs, then deleted or aggregated.
Cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary cookies may be required for load balancing or session integrity. Where we use analytics or advertising cookies, we will seek consent as required by UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations alongside UK GDPR. You can manage storage through your browser and any on-site preference centre we provide.
Email and forms
If you contact us, we process your address, message content and metadata needed to reply and keep a proportionate record. We do not use your correspondence to profile you for unrelated marketing unless you separately opt in.
Legal bases
We rely on legitimate interests for secure publishing and proportionate analytics, on consent where required for non-essential cookies, and on legal obligations if regulators compel disclosure.
Processors and transfers
Hosting, DNS, email transport and backup vendors may access personal data only under contract with confidentiality and security clauses. If data leaves the UK, we use appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations.
Retention
Retention periods vary by category: short for raw access logs, longer for correspondence linked to ongoing complaints or legal holds. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it where feasible.
Your rights
UK residents may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability where applicable, and may withdraw consent without affecting prior lawful processing. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if unsatisfied with our response.
Children
This site is intended for adults aged eighteen or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children and will delete identifiable contact if discovered.
Changes
We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised description except where separate consent is legally required.
Automated decision-making
We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you using solely automated processing. Spam filters may score messages, but humans review borderline cases.
Data breaches
If a breach risks your rights, we will assess notification duties to regulators and, where required, inform affected individuals with clear mitigation advice.
Contact for privacy requests
Use the same contact routes as general correspondence, marking the subject “Data protection request.” We may ask for reasonable identity verification before disclosing or deleting records.
