Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Harlow Dog Results collects, uses and protects information when you visit this website. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect limited, non-personal information automatically when you browse this site. This includes your IP address, browser type, 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 tools and is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site.

We do not collect personal information such as your name, postal address or payment details. This site does not require account registration, does not process financial transactions and does not operate a mailing list. If you contact us voluntarily through any channel, any information you provide in that communication is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support basic functionality and analytics. For full details on which cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.

We use third-party analytics services to understand site traffic and usage patterns. These services may set their own cookies and collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We use this data exclusively for improving site content and performance, not for advertising or profiling purposes.

Third-Party Links

Our content includes links to external websites such as the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (gbgb.org.uk), Sporting Life, Timeform, official track sites and licensed bookmaker platforms. These third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies and we have no control over their data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing it with personal information.

This site does not sell, rent or share any visitor data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes.

Data Retention

Server log data and aggregated analytics data are retained for a maximum of 26 months, after which they are deleted. Cookie data is retained according to the expiry periods described in our Cookie Policy. We do not maintain long-term records of individual user sessions.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data we hold from unauthorised access, alteration or destruction. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring that data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access, rectify or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to restrict processing, object to processing and request data portability where applicable. Since we collect minimal personal data, these rights will typically relate to server log entries containing your IP address.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies entirely, delete existing cookies or set preferences on a per-site basis. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features but will not prevent you from accessing the content.

Children’s Privacy

This site publishes content related to greyhound racing and betting. It is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided data through this site, please let us know and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
