Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4 June 2026
This privacy policy explains how nbastatsforbetting.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal data of visitors to this website. It is written for adult readers in Great Britain and applies UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
nbastatsforbetting.com is an independent editorial publication providing statistical commentary on NBA basketball for adult readers in Great Britain. We are not a bookmaker, we do not accept wagers, and we do not provide financial, legal or tax advice. References on the site to UK-licensed sportsbooks are general and do not constitute a recommendation.
Data we collect
We collect personal data only where it is necessary, lawful and proportionate. The categories are deliberately narrow.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider and analytics services record technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the referring URL, the pages you view, time stamps and approximate location derived from your IP address. This information is used to operate the site, diagnose technical problems, measure aggregated readership and detect abuse.
If you contact us by email, you provide the email address you write from, your name (where you choose to share it) and the content of your message. We retain this correspondence for the purposes of replying and for our records.
If you submit any optional form on the site, such as a newsletter sign-up, we collect only the fields you complete. Each form indicates the lawful basis for processing at the point of collection.
Lawful bases for processing
We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR:
Legitimate interests, to operate, secure and improve the site, and to publish editorial content for our readers. We balance our interests against your rights and freedoms and limit data use to what is necessary.
Consent, where you have actively opted in, for example to non-essential cookies or to a mailing list. You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Legal obligation, where we are required to retain or disclose data to comply with UK law.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working. Analytics cookies, set only with your consent, measure aggregated readership. Full detail is in our Cookie Policy.
How we share data
We do not sell personal data. We share limited data only with service providers that operate the site on our behalf, including a hosting provider, an analytics provider and an email service for replies to correspondence. Each provider is bound by a written agreement and processes data only on our instructions. Where a provider operates outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on UK-recognised transfer mechanisms such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent safeguards.
We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators where we are required to do so by UK law, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of nbastatsforbetting.com, our readers or others.
How long we keep data
We keep personal data for the minimum period needed. Server logs are typically held for up to twelve months. Email correspondence is held while it remains useful to the conversation and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics data is held in aggregated, non-identifying form for the retention period of the analytics provider. Newsletter records are held until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right of access to your personal data, the right to rectification of inaccurate data, the right to erasure in defined circumstances, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability for data you supplied to us, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and rights related to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the address in our Legal Notice. We respond within one calendar month. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These include HTTPS for site traffic, restricted administrative access, regular security updates and limited retention periods. No internet transmission or storage method is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology or our practices. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
