Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

velobetnongamstop.co.uk ("the Site", "we", "us") is an independent affiliate review website. The Site is not affiliated with, owned by or operated by Velobet, Santeda International B.V. or any gaming operator. For questions about data collected by Velobet itself, please consult Velobet's own privacy policy at velobet.com.

2. Data We Collect

We are a static content site and do not operate user accounts, comment sections, contact forms or email subscription systems as standard. The data we receive is therefore limited and collected passively:

2.1 Server Logs and Analytics

When you visit the Site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) automatically logs your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL and pages visited. We may use a privacy-focused analytics service (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) that does not use cookies and does not share individual user data. Aggregated statistics (total visits, popular pages) are used to improve our content.

2.2 Cookies

The Site does not place first-party analytics cookies. However, if you click an affiliate link to Velobet (/out/go), Velobet's platform may set cookies on your browser in accordance with their own cookie policy. We do not control those cookies.

2.3 Information You Provide

If you contact us by email (contact@velobetnongamstop.co.uk), we will receive your email address and any information you include in the message. We retain these emails for the purpose of responding and for a reasonable period afterwards. We do not add your email address to any marketing list without your explicit consent.

3. How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

• Operating and improving the Site (server logs, analytics)
• Responding to email enquiries you initiate
• Detecting and preventing abuse or unauthorised access

We do not use your data for advertising profiling, automated decision-making or marketing communications.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)

Where UK GDPR applies, our legal basis for processing personal data is:

• Legitimate interests — operating and securing the website, analysing aggregate traffic trends
• Contract performance — responding to your enquiries when you contact us

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share data with service providers that help us operate the Site (for example, our hosting provider Cloudflare), but only to the extent necessary to provide those services and subject to contractual obligations of confidentiality.

If you click through to Velobet, your activity on Velobet's platform is governed by Velobet's own privacy policy — we have no control over or responsibility for data collected by Velobet.

6. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a short period (typically 30 days) for security and operational purposes. Email correspondence is retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to resolve your enquiry, and deleted thereafter unless we are required to retain it for legal reasons.

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your data, where we have no lawful reason to retain it
• Right to restrict processing — request we limit processing of your data
• Right to object — object to processing based on our legitimate interests
• Right to complain — complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk) if you believe we have handled your data unlawfully

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@velobetnongamstop.co.uk. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

The Site is served over HTTPS. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to external websites including Velobet (velobet.com), GamCare, BeGambleAware and GamStop. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

10. Children

This Site is intended solely for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
