Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 May 2026. This notice explains how BetZ9XCore handles personal data while operating an editorial UK casino comparison site.
1. Who We Are
BetZ9XCore is an independent editorial comparison platform focused on licensed UK gambling websites. We are not a gambling operator and we do not accept bets, hold player balances, or manage gaming accounts. This policy applies when you browse our pages, submit a contact request, or interact with on-site tools such as calculators and cookie settings. For data protection matters, we act as controller for the information described in this notice. You can contact us at dataprotection@betz9xcore.com with any question about this policy or the way your data is processed.
2. Data We Collect
We collect limited categories of information to run the site effectively. Technical data may include IP address, browser type, device details, referring page, and timestamp data generated by server logs. If you send us a message, we receive the details you choose to provide, such as name, email address, and the text of your enquiry. We also collect consent preferences linked to cookie choices and age-gate actions stored in your browser. We do not request payment card details, government identity numbers, or gambling account passwords. Any personal data you provide voluntarily should be relevant to your request and should avoid unnecessary sensitive information.
3. Lawful Bases Under UK GDPR
Our processing relies on specific legal bases depending on activity type. We use legitimate interests to secure the service, improve performance, and understand whether editorial content is working for readers. We use consent for non-essential cookie categories and for storing related preference choices where required. We may process enquiry data to take steps requested by you before entering a potential commercial relationship, for example when an organisation asks about partnership disclosures. We also process records where necessary to comply with legal obligations, including handling valid rights requests. When legitimate interests are used, we apply a balancing assessment and keep data use proportionate to expected user impact.
4. Why We Use Information
Data is used to provide and protect the website, maintain uptime, and troubleshoot reliability issues. We also analyse aggregated behaviour patterns so editorial updates are based on clear evidence rather than assumptions. Contact details are used to respond to questions, resolve correction requests, and keep an auditable record of follow-up communication. Cookie preference data is used to honour your choices in future visits. In limited cases we use traffic signals to detect suspicious activity or abuse, including repetitive bot requests and malicious scanning patterns. We do not sell personal data, and we do not profile users for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Sharing With Third Parties
We share data only when needed for core operations and only with providers that support our website functions. This can include hosting suppliers, analytics vendors, email delivery services, and security monitoring tools. Each provider receives only the minimum information required to deliver its contracted function and is expected to process data under documented instructions. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or a valid regulatory request. If ownership of the site changes through merger or sale, relevant data may transfer as part of that transaction, with continuity of protections. We do not provide user lists to unrelated advertisers for independent marketing campaigns.
6. Cookies And Similar Technology
Cookies help us remember consent settings, keep pages functional, and measure how visitors navigate important content blocks. Essential cookies support baseline operation such as session stability and preference retention. Optional analytics cookies are used only when permitted and help us understand broad trends, for example which guidance pages are most visited. Our separate Cookie Policy provides fuller classification details, duration guidance, and browser control options. Where consent is required, non-essential technologies are not activated until you make a choice. You can withdraw consent later by changing browser settings or clearing existing cookie data and setting preferences again on your next visit.
7. Retention Periods
We keep information only for as long as there is a clear operational or legal reason. Server security logs are typically retained for a short period unless investigation is required. Contact form records may be kept longer when correspondence concerns compliance, dispute history, or legal rights handling. Cookie preference records are stored to avoid repeatedly showing notices and to document your selected choices. When retention periods expire, data is deleted or anonymised using reasonable technical measures. We regularly review stored datasets and remove material that is no longer required for legitimate site functions.
8. International Transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we apply recognised transfer safeguards designed to keep protection standards in line with UK requirements. Measures may include contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, and technical controls such as encrypted data transport. We review provider commitments before onboarding and during periodic compliance checks. Although no online system can guarantee absolute security, these controls reduce practical risk and help ensure accountable handling. If you want more detail about transfer mechanisms used for a specific provider type, contact us through the address listed in this policy.
9. Your Rights
You may have rights to request access to your personal data, ask for correction of inaccurate records, and seek deletion in defined circumstances. You may also request restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, or request portability where applicable. Rights are not absolute, and we may need to retain certain records for legal reasons or to protect the rights of others. To exercise a right, send a clear request from an email address you can access and include enough detail for us to identify relevant records. We may ask for limited verification before releasing account-related information.
10. Children And Age Policy
This website is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly target or market to children, and we do not intentionally collect personal data from individuals under 18. The site uses an age confirmation overlay to reinforce this policy at entry. If we learn that personal information has been submitted by someone below the required age, we will take steps to remove the data as soon as reasonably possible. Parents or guardians who believe such data has been provided can contact us directly for prompt review and deletion support.
11. Security Measures
We apply practical safeguards to protect data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, and disclosure. Controls include restricted access to administrative tools, regular software updates, password protection practices, and encrypted transmission where available. Internal access is limited to people who need data to perform editorial, support, or compliance duties. We also monitor for unusual activity patterns and investigate incidents using documented procedures. Security controls are reviewed over time because technical risks evolve, and no single measure remains sufficient forever.
12. Policy Updates And Complaints
We may revise this policy to reflect legal updates, operational changes, or improvements in privacy practice. If changes are material, we will update the effective date and publish the revised notice on this page. Continued use of the site after publication indicates awareness of the update. If you believe your data has not been handled properly, please contact us first so we can investigate and respond. You may also raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you remain dissatisfied after our review. Contact point for this policy: dataprotection@betz9xcore.com.
