This privacy policy explains how Pick a Winner Horse Racing collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and being transparent about what data we handle. This policy applies to all pages published on this website.
We do not require registration or account creation to access our content. The information we collect falls into two categories: data collected automatically when you browse the site, and data you provide voluntarily.
When you visit our pages, our web server and analytics tools may automatically 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 in aggregate form and is used solely to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our content and performance.
If you contact us by email or through any form on the site, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name and email address. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry and do not add it to any marketing list without your explicit consent.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to provide core functionality and to analyse traffic. Full details of the cookies we use, their purpose and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes: to deliver and maintain the website, to analyse usage patterns and improve our content, to respond to enquiries you send us, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We may use third-party services to help operate and analyse the website. These services may include web hosting providers, analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, and content delivery networks. Each of these services processes data on our behalf and is bound by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.
Where we embed content from or link to external websites — including bookmaker sites, racing data providers and regulatory bodies — those sites operate under their own privacy policies and we have no control over their data practices.
Where UK data protection law applies, our legal basis for processing your personal data is legitimate interest in operating and improving our website. For any processing that relies on your consent — such as non-essential cookies — we obtain that consent before processing begins, and you may withdraw it at any time.
Server log data is retained for a maximum of 26 months and is then deleted. Any personal data you provide via email is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and is deleted thereafter, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. Our website is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation, 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, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to request that we restrict processing in certain circumstances. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.
You also have 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 their website at ico.org.uk.
Our website is not directed at anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. All content on this site relates to gambling, which is restricted to adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes, we update the date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
