This privacy policy explains how the Doncaster Greyhound Results Guide website collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit and interact with our pages. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
We collect limited data to operate this website and improve the experience for visitors. The categories of information we may process include the following.
Automatically collected data: when you visit our site, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and analytics scripts. IP addresses are anonymised where technically possible before storage.
Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies to understand how visitors navigate the site and to remember basic preferences. Full details of the cookies we use and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.
Voluntarily provided data: if you contact us through any communication channel linked from this website, you may provide your name, email address, or other details. We process that information solely to respond to your enquiry.
How We Use Your Information
We use the data described above for the following purposes: to deliver and maintain the website, to analyse visitor traffic and usage patterns so we can improve our content, to respond to enquiries or feedback, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing personal data. For analytics and site operation, we rely on our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors use the site and maintaining its performance. For cookies that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preferences. For responding to enquiries, we rely on your consent given by initiating contact. For legal compliance, we process data where required to meet a legal obligation.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share anonymised, aggregated analytics data with service providers who assist in operating the website, such as hosting providers and analytics platforms. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it. Where any service provider transfers data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Data Retention
Server logs and analytics data are retained for a maximum of 26 months, after which they are automatically deleted. If you contact us, we retain your correspondence for up to 12 months following our last exchange, unless a longer period is required by law. Cookie data is retained according to the lifespans set out in our Cookie Policy.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing, to restrict or object to processing in certain circumstances, and to request a portable copy of data you have provided to us. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully. The ICO can be contacted through ico.org.uk.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls on hosting infrastructure, and regular review of data processing practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the data we process.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit through links on our pages.
