This privacy notice explains how TOV "LOKTRANS" (“we”, “us”) collects and uses your personal data when you visit this website. It is provided in accordance with Article 13 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Please read it carefully so you understand what we do with your information and what rights you have.
1. Who we are — the data controller
TOV "LOKTRANS" is the data controller responsible for the personal data described in this notice. We are an independent, affiliate-funded editorial publisher reviewing UKGC-licensed sportsbooks. We are not a gambling operator and do not accept wagers. You can contact us about any data matter using the details in section 9, or via our contact page. Where we are required to maintain a data protection point of contact, enquiries sent to that contact will be handled by our editorial operations lead, who oversees how personal data is processed on this site and ensures requests are dealt with properly.
2. What personal data we collect
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use the site, we may process: (a) information you submit voluntarily through our contact form, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message; (b) technical data automatically collected when you browse, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you view; and (c) cookie and similar-technology data, but only to the extent you consent to non-essential cookies. We do not knowingly collect special-category data, and we do not ask for it. We do not require you to create an account to read this website.
3. The purposes and legal basis for processing
We process your personal data for specific purposes, each with a lawful basis under Article 6 UK GDPR:
- To respond to enquiries you send via the contact form — legal basis: our legitimate interests in answering you, and steps taken at your request.
- To operate and secure the website, including detecting and preventing abuse — legal basis: our legitimate interests in running a safe, functioning site.
- To measure traffic and improve content through analytics — legal basis: your consent, given through our cookie banner.
- To attribute affiliate referrals when you click an operator link — legal basis: your consent (advertising cookies) where such cookies are used.
- To comply with legal obligations where applicable — legal basis: compliance with a legal obligation.
Where our basis is legitimate interests, we have balanced those interests against your rights and freedoms and concluded that our processing does not override them. Where our basis is consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
4. Recipients — who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with trusted service providers who act on our behalf as processors, including our website hosting provider, and — where you have consented — analytics and advertising-measurement providers. When you click through to an operator, that operator becomes an independent controller of any data it then collects under its own privacy policy; we may receive aggregated or pseudonymous confirmation that a referral occurred. We may also disclose data where required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place — such as an adequacy decision recognised by the UK, the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses — so that your data continues to receive a level of protection essentially equivalent to that under UK law. You may request details of the safeguards we rely on using the contact details below.
6. How long we keep your data — retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Contact-form correspondence is typically retained for up to 24 months after your enquiry is resolved, after which it is deleted or anonymised, unless we are required to keep it longer for legal reasons. Server and security logs are generally retained for a short period for operational and security purposes. Cookie-based data is retained for the lifetime of the relevant cookie, as described in our cookie policy.
7. Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data, which you can exercise free of charge in most cases:
- Right of access — to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — to have inaccurate data corrected and incomplete data completed.
- Right to erasure — to have your data deleted in certain circumstances.
- Right to restriction — to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability — to receive certain data in a portable format.
- Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time.
- Rights related to automated decision-making — we do not carry out solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in section 9. We will respond within one month, as required by law, and may ask you to verify your identity first.
8. The right to complain and whether data provision is required
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first. Providing personal data to us is not a statutory or contractual requirement: you are not obliged to give us any personal data to read this website. If you choose not to provide the information requested in our contact form, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry, but you can continue to use the rest of the site freely.
9. How to contact us
For any question about this notice or about your personal data, please use our contact page or email us at [email protected]. We keep this notice under review and may update it from time to time; the date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
