About This Website
This website, onlinehorsebetting.co.uk, is a free informational resource about UK horse racing and betting. It does not accept bets, hold user accounts, or process payments. The information provided covers betting odds formats, types of bets, UK racecourses, major race meetings, and glossary explanations — all for educational purposes only.
We are committed to operating transparently and respecting your privacy. This policy explains what minimal data may be processed when you use this site, why it is processed, and what rights you hold under UK data protection law.
Data We Collect
We do not collect personal data directly. This website does not use contact forms, registration, or any mechanism that captures personal information. There are no user accounts, no subscriptions, and no comment functionality.
Server Logs
Our hosting provider may automatically record standard server log data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time of your visit. These logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days and are used solely for security and diagnostic purposes. Log data is not combined with any other dataset and is not used to build a profile of individual visitors.
Racecard Data
The racecards shown on this site are compiled from a third-party racing data feed and built into our static pages in advance. Your browser does not connect to any racing data provider when you view this site — the fixtures are already part of the page you receive, so no request leaves your browser to retrieve them.
Cookies
This website does not set any first-party cookies. No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or session cookies are placed on your device by onlinehorsebetting.co.uk. If third-party scripts are ever added in future (such as web analytics), this policy will be updated before they are deployed to describe what is set and why.
Analytics
At the time of this policy, no analytics platform is active on this site. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any behavioural tracking service. Should we introduce privacy-respecting analytics in future (for example, a self-hosted, cookieless system), we will update this policy to reflect that before activation.
How We Use Information
Server log data is used exclusively to:
- Diagnose technical problems and outages
- Protect against automated attacks and malicious traffic
We do not use log data for marketing, profiling, behavioural analysis, retargeting, or any commercial purpose. We do not sell or license log data.
Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for commercial purposes.
External links on this site lead to independent third parties — bookmakers, official racing bodies, and information sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information to it.
Your browser makes no third-party connections when using this site. All content, including the racecards, is served as static pages from our own hosting.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, where server log data is retained, the legal basis is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — specifically the interest in securing and maintaining our hosting infrastructure. Log data is not used for any purpose that would override your fundamental rights.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a UK resident, you have the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold:
- Right of access — request a copy of any data held about you
- Right to erasure — request deletion of data we hold
- Right to restriction — request we limit processing
- Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Right to lodge a complaint — with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your rights have been violated
Because we collect no personal data beyond transient hosting logs, in practice most of these rights will be satisfied by the automatic 30-day log rotation.
