Data Controller
Greyhound Cards Today operates as the data controller for personal data collected through this website. We determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
What Data We Collect
We collect data in two categories: data you provide directly and data collected automatically.
Data you may provide directly includes any information submitted through contact forms, feedback mechanisms or email correspondence. This may include your name and email address if you choose to share them.
Data collected automatically when you visit the site includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited and time spent on each page, approximate geographic location derived from your IP address, and device type. This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Your Data
We process personal data for the following purposes and on the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR:
To operate and improve the website, including analysing how visitors use the site, identifying technical issues and optimising content. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the service we provide.
To respond to enquiries if you contact us directly. The lawful basis is your consent, given when you initiate contact.
To comply with legal obligations, including responding to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or law enforcement. The lawful basis is compliance with a legal obligation.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Third-Party Services
This website may use third-party services that collect data independently. These include analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which processes data according to its own privacy policy available at policies.google.com/privacy. We may also use content delivery networks and hosting providers that process server logs containing IP addresses as part of their standard operations.
Where the site links to external websites — including bookmaker platforms, data providers like Timeform, At The Races, Sporting Life, and regulatory bodies such as the GBGB — those sites operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of external websites.
Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Full details of the cookies we use, their purpose and how to manage your preferences are set out in our Cookie Policy.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the retention settings configured in our analytics platform. Correspondence data is retained for up to 24 months after the last exchange unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs are typically retained for no more than 90 days.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include the use of HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls for administrative systems and regular review of our security practices. No method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to minimise risk.

The right of access: you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. The right to rectification: you may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data. The right to erasure: you may request that we delete your data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
