Privacy policy – Matchedbettinguk.com

Running an information site about betting offers for Great Britain takes little personal data, and Matchedbettinguk.com keeps to that little. Processing is governed by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and this policy meets the duty to inform under Article 13 of the UK GDPR.

Controller

The body operating Matchedbettinguk.com is the controller as defined in Article 4(7) UK GDPR. Name, address and e-mail address are available at matchedbettinguk.com, the single channel for questions about personal data.

Personal data in use

A log entry is written by the server whenever a page is requested: IP address, date and time, the address asked for, the volume of data delivered, the referring page and the browser type. Security and the detection of abuse are the reasons for it, and after 90 days entries are deleted or shortened to the point where they identify nobody. A person who writes to the editors supplies a name, an e-mail address and the message, used only for a reply. Reader accounts, deposits and bets do not exist on the site, so payment details and identity documents are not gathered.

Purposes and lawful bases

Server logs, protection against abuse and replies to messages are based on legitimate interests in a working, secure site (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Cookies that are not strictly necessary, and audience measurement, are based on consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR with regulation 6 of PECR) and start only after it is given. Consent can be taken back at any time, and earlier processing remains lawful (Article 7(3)). The site uses neither automated decision-making nor profiling.

Recipients and transfers outside the UK

Personal data is never sold. It is passed to processors working on the controller’s instructions for hosting, content delivery and e-mail (Article 28 UK GDPR) and to public authorities where the law demands. A transfer outside the United Kingdom happens only to a country with adequacy regulations or under appropriate safeguards, such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum (Article 44 onwards).

Storage periods

Data is retained only while needed for its purpose. Server logs are kept 90 days at most. Correspondence is kept until the matter is closed, plus the time needed to defend against possible claims. Giving data in a message is voluntary, yet a reply is impossible without it.

Rights of individuals

The rights available are access (Article 15), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction (Article 18), portability (Article 20) and objection to processing that rests on legitimate interests (Article 21). Requests are answered without undue delay and within one month of receipt; the period may be extended by a further two months under Article 12(3).

Supervisory authority

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) oversees compliance. A person who thinks their data has been processed in breach of data protection law is entitled to complain to it (Article 77 UK GDPR).
