This privacy policy explains how this website collects, uses and protects information when you visit our pages covering Central Park greyhound results, betting guides and related content. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling any personal data in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Information We Collect

We collect limited data to operate and improve this website. The types of information we may collect fall into two categories.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, our servers and third-party analytics services may automatically record certain technical information. This includes 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 in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual visitors by name.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us through any communication channel provided on this website, we may receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We do not collect financial information, betting account details or payment data of any kind. This website does not operate a user registration system and does not require you to create an account.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes: to operate and maintain the website, to analyse traffic patterns and understand how visitors engage with our content, to improve the quality and relevance of our greyhound racing guides, and to respond to enquiries or messages you send to us. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following legal bases: legitimate interest in operating and improving a publicly accessible informational website, consent where you have voluntarily provided information or accepted non-essential cookies, and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services that collect data independently. These include analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies to generate statistical reports about website traffic. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. We may also embed content from third-party platforms, including video providers for greyhound race replays. Each embedded service operates under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to review those policies directly.

Data Retention

Automatically collected technical data is retained for a period not exceeding 26 months, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Any personal information you provide through direct contact is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was provided, and is then securely deleted.

If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
