Privacy Policy
We keep data collection to a minimum. This page explains what we collect, why, and the rights you have over it.
Last updated: June 2026. This policy applies to britbetindex.com and is written with UK data protection law in mind.
Who we are
BritBet Index is an independent, affiliate-funded betting comparison platform. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website. You can reach us at editor@britbetindex.com.
What we collect
- Information you give us — for example, your name, email address and message if you use the contact form.
- Usage data — basic, mostly aggregated analytics about which pages and comparisons are visited, collected through cookies you have agreed to.
- Technical data — standard server information such as browser type and approximate region, used to keep the site secure and working.
Why we use it
We use this data to reply to your messages, to understand which content is useful, to improve the site, and to keep it secure. Our lawful bases are your consent (for non-essential cookies), our legitimate interest in running and improving the site, and taking steps at your request when you contact us.
Affiliate links and third parties
When you click an affiliate link to an operator, you leave our site and the operator (and any tracking provider) processes your data under their own privacy policy. We do not receive your betting account details, deposits or stake information. We may receive aggregated reporting that tells us a referral occurred.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics) under appropriate agreements, or where the law requires it.
Retention
We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, then delete them. Analytics data is retained in line with our provider's standard periods.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to certain processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email us at editor@britbetindex.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how we have handled your data.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies. You control non-essential cookies through the consent banner, and the detail is on our Cookie Policy page.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Any material change will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
