Privacy policy

Last reviewed · By British Gaming Guide

British Gaming Guide collects as little personal data as possible. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools. The only personal data we deliberately collect is what you choose to send us through the contact form.

Last updated: 12 November 2026

1. Who is responsible for your data

British Gaming Guide (britishgamingguide.co.uk) is operated by an individual based outside the UK, not by a company. For data protection purposes, that individual is the controller of personal data collected through this site. You can contact us about privacy at any time using the contact form — choose “A privacy or data request”.

2. What we collect and why

Messages you send us

If you use the contact form, we collect:

  • your email address (required, so we can reply);
  • your name, if you choose to give it;
  • the topic you select and your message.

We use this only to read and respond to your message, and to keep a record of corrections or requests. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests — responding to people who contact us and keeping our content accurate. If your message is a data protection request, we also process it to meet our legal obligations.

Please do not send sensitive information such as health details, card numbers, passwords or gambling account numbers.

What we do not collect

  • We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service.
  • We do not use advertising or social media tracking pixels.
  • We do not load fonts, videos or scripts from third-party servers.
  • We do not store your IP address with your message. To stop spam, the form keeps a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for 10 minutes to limit repeat submissions; it cannot be read back into an address and is then deleted.

Server logs

Like any website, our web host’s servers automatically record technical information about requests — such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time — to keep the site secure and working. We do not use these logs to identify or profile visitors. They are kept for a limited period under our host’s policies.

3. Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent or share your personal data for marketing. Your data is stored with our hosting provider, Hostinger International Ltd, which acts as our processor and hosts the website and its database. We may disclose information if required by law.

We do not pass your details to gambling operators. If you click a link from our site to an operator’s website, that operator’s own privacy policy applies to anything you do there.

4. International transfers

Because the site is run from outside the UK and hosted by an international provider, your data may be stored on, or accessed from, servers and devices outside the UK. We only access it from a country that the UK government recognises as providing adequate protection for personal data. Where our host stores data in another country, we rely on its contractual safeguards for international transfers.

5. How long we keep it

Contact form messages are deleted automatically 12 months after we receive them. We may delete them sooner once a matter is closed. If a message relates to a legal claim or data protection request, we may keep it for as long as needed to deal with that.

6. Your rights

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
  • ask us to correct inaccurate data;
  • ask us to delete your data;
  • object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it;
  • ask for your data in a portable format, where that applies.

To make a request, use the contact form. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to deal with your concern first.

7. Cookies

We do not set cookies for ordinary visitors. See our cookie policy for the full picture.

8. Children

This site is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has contacted us, please let us know and we will delete their message.

9. Security

The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS. Messages are stored privately in the site’s database and can only be read by the site administrator.

10. Changes

If we change how we handle personal data — for example, if we ever add analytics — we will update this policy and the date above before the change takes effect.
