Steady Stakes is an information-only website, so we have no accounts to create, no bets to take and no reason to gather large amounts of personal data. This notice sets out, in plain terms, what we do collect and the rights you have. It should be read alongside our about page, which explains who we are.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to register or log in, and we do not run operator advertising. If you email us at the address below, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address and the content of your message, and we use it only to reply. Our web server and privacy-respecting analytics may record limited technical data, such as pages requested and general device or browser type, to keep the site working and understand which guides are useful.
Cookies we use
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any cookies we do set are limited to what is needed for the site to function and, where used, basic aggregated analytics that do not identify you. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time without losing access to the content.
How long we keep data
We keep email correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up, after which it is deleted. Technical and aggregated analytics data is retained for a limited period and is not used to build profiles of individuals. We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for marketing.
Your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data erased, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to data portability where it applies. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how we have handled your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
Links to other websites
Our guides link to trusted external sources, such as the UK Gambling Commission and support bodies including GamCare, GAMSTOP and BeGambleAware. Those websites have their own privacy notices, which govern any data you share with them, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We link to support services because they help people, not for any commercial reason.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time to reflect changes in the law or in how the site works. When we do, we will revise the date shown on the page. We encourage you to check back occasionally so you are aware of how we protect your information.
How to contact us
If you have any questions about this notice, want to exercise your data rights, or wish to raise a concern about privacy, please email us at [email protected] and we will respond as promptly as we can. If your message concerns your own gambling, free confidential support is available around the clock from the GamCare National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
