Privacy Policy

We collect the minimum data needed to run toplistbettingsitesuk.com, measure readership, answer emails, and—where you consent—support affiliate attribution. Nothing here turns us into a bookmaker: we don’t host balances or settle wagers. UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 still apply, so below is who’s in charge, what we touch, and how to yell if something looks off.

1. Data controller

The operator of this website and data controller is Sigmastart04 GmbH, Zehmeplatz 14, 15230 Frankfurt, Germany("we", "us"). The site is published at toplistbettingsitesuk.com (ToplistBettingSitesUK).

2. Data we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

Contact details: If you email us or use a form, we receive what you send (e.g. name, email address, message content).
Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps—often collected via logs or analytics tools.
Cookies and similar technologies: As described in our Cookie Policy, including preferences stored when you interact with our consent banner.

3. How we use your information

We use data to:

Run and secure the website, fix errors, and prevent abuse
Understand aggregate readership and improve content and layout
Respond to enquiries you send us
Send email updates only if you have opted in; you can unsubscribe using the link in any message or by contacting us
Meet legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations where they apply to us
Attribute affiliate referrals so we can be paid fairly by partners when you choose to use their services

4. Legal bases (UK GDPR)

We rely on:

Consent where required—e.g. non-essential cookies or marketing emails
Legitimate interests for running a media site, analytics in appropriate form, fraud prevention, and improving our service—balanced against your rights
Legal obligation where we must retain or disclose information
Contract where we need data to answer a specific request you make to us

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

Processors who host the site, send email, or provide analytics—under written contracts
Professional advisers (e.g. lawyers, accountants) when required
Authorities if we are compelled by law or to protect rights and safety
Affiliate partners receive only what their tracking technology collects when you click through—under their policies

6. International transfers

Some suppliers may process data outside the UK. Where we transfer personal data to countries not covered by UK adequacy decisions, we use appropriate safeguards (such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses) where required.

7. Security and retention

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures (access controls, HTTPS, limited admin access). No online service is risk-free. We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as the law requires, then delete or anonymise it.

8. Your rights

You may have the right to:

Access a copy of your personal data
Rectify inaccurate data
Erase data in certain cases
Restrict or object to processing
Data portability where processing is automated and based on contract or consent
Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based
Lodge a complaint with the ICO (ico.org.uk)

To exercise rights, email privacy@toplistbettingsitesuk.com. We respond within one month in most cases, as UK GDPR requires.

9. External sites

We link to bookmakers and other third parties. Their privacy practices are their own. Read their policies before you submit personal or financial information.

10. Children

Our content is for adults aged 18+ in the UK. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy, except where the law requires a different process.
