This Privacy Policy explains how ivybetz.com operates for visitors in the United Kingdom and the European Union, and how it aligns with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant UK data protection laws. It is written to give a clear account of what data is, and is not, collected when you use this website.
IvyBetz is an informational website only. It does not provide online gambling services, does not offer accounts or memberships, and does not run interactive features that require users to submit personal data.
Data Controller
For the purposes of GDPR and applicable UK data protection legislation, the data controller responsible for ivybetz.com is:
IvyBetz
Contact email: contact@ivybetz.com
As IvyBetz does not actively collect or process personal data, the role of the data controller is limited to ensuring that the site remains compliant with data protection principles and that any incidental contact is handled in a lawful and transparent manner.
Scope and Applicability
This Privacy Policy applies to all visits to ivybetz.com from users based in the United Kingdom and the wider European Union. It covers:
- Use of the website for informational purposes
- Any incidental contact made via email
- The absence of cookies and trackers
- The absence of third‑party embedded content
The policy is intended to reflect obligations under GDPR and, for UK users, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act as applied by domestic regulators such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Personal Data
No Active Collection of Personal Data
IvyBetz does not collect, store, or process personal data through the website. In practice, this means:
- No registration or user accounts
- No contact forms or comment sections
- No newsletters or subscriptions
- No profiling or behavioural tracking
You can browse the website freely without being asked to provide your name, address, phone number, payment details, or any other identifying information.
Incidental Personal Data via Email
If you choose to contact IvyBetz by email at contact@ivybetz.com, any personal data you include in your message will be processed solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.
In that context:
- The legal basis for processing is legitimate interest, namely responding to your request or query.
- Data is limited to the information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address and the content of your message.
- Correspondence is not used for marketing, passed on to third parties, or added to any mailing lists.
Reasonable care is taken to keep such correspondence secure and to retain it only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and maintain basic records of communication.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
No Use of Cookies
IvyBetz does not use cookies of any kind. This includes:
- No analytics cookies
- No session or login cookies
- No advertising or tracking cookies
- No persistent cookies for preferences
You are not asked to accept or manage any cookie banners because the site does not place cookies on your device.
No Other Tracking Technologies
The website does not implement alternative technologies such as local storage, tracking pixels, device fingerprinting, or cross‑site identifiers. Your visit is not tracked for behavioural analysis, profiling, or targeted advertising.
Third‑Party Content and Services
No Embedded Third‑Party Content
IvyBetz does not embed external services that may independently collect data, such as:
- Video platforms
- Map services
- Web fonts hosted by third parties
- Social media plugins
As a result, third parties do not gain access to information about your visit through embedded components on this site.
No Third‑Party Analytics or Marketing Tools
The website is not connected to internet tracking or marketing tools. There is:
- No web analytics solution recording visitor behaviour
- No affiliate tracking
- No remarketing or retargeting services
Your browsing is confined to the content hosted on ivybetz.com, without hidden links to external data collection networks.
Server Logs and Technical Data
Web servers typically generate basic technical logs for security and operational purposes. IvyBetz aims to minimise logging and does not use server logs to profile or track individual visitors.
Where server logs exist, they are limited to standard technical information such as:
- The page requested
- Time of request
- Technical error messages where relevant
These logs are used only to maintain the reliability and security of the site, such as monitoring errors or safeguarding against malicious activity. They are not combined with other data to identify individuals and are retained only for operational needs.
Purpose of the Website
IvyBetz is an informational resource, designed to provide general content to users in the UK and the EU. It is not:
- A remote gambling or betting platform
- A bookmaker or casino operator
- A site offering real‑money wagering or account‑based services
References to gambling or casino‑related topics, where they appear, are purely descriptive or educational and do not involve the collection of player data, payment details, or personal profiles.
Legal Basis and GDPR Principles
Although IvyBetz does not actively process personal data through the normal use of the site, it remains committed to core GDPR principles, including:
- Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
- Data minimisation
- Integrity and confidentiality
- Accountability
Any incidental processing, such as email correspondence, is kept to the minimum necessary and managed with appropriate safeguards. IvyBetz does not engage in automated decision‑making or profiling and does not rely on consent banners because there are no cookies or marketing trackers in use.
Data Sharing and Transfers
No Routine Data Sharing
IvyBetz does not sell, rent, or exchange personal data with third parties. Given that the site does not collect personal data, there is no regular data sharing mechanism in place.
Any incidental data received via email is handled internally and not disclosed to third parties unless:
- Required by law
- Necessary to respond to a serious security incident or misuse of services
- Needed to protect legal rights in exceptional circumstances
International Transfers
IvyBetz does not operate a system of cross‑border transfers of user data. Where email or hosting infrastructure involves service providers outside the UK or EU, those arrangements are selected with data protection standards in mind, including the use of appropriate safeguards where required by law.
Data Retention
Because the website does not collect personal data from ordinary visitors, there is no routine retention schedule for user information.
For incidental email correspondence:
- Data is retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and maintain a basic record of contact.
- Emails may be periodically archived or deleted in line with good practice for UK and EU‑based organisations.
No automated marketing lists or historic customer profiles are maintained.
Security
IvyBetz takes reasonable technical and organisational steps to safeguard the website and any incidental data that may be handled, including:
- Maintaining secure hosting arrangements
- Applying standard measures to protect against unauthorised access
- Using controlled access to email accounts managing user enquiries
Given the low‑risk nature of the site and the absence of structured personal data collection, security practices are focused on protecting the integrity and availability of the site rather than managing large volumes of sensitive information.
Your Rights as a UK and EU User
Even though IvyBetz does not actively collect personal data through normal browsing, you retain rights under GDPR and UK data protection law in relation to any personal data processed via email or other incidental contact. These rights include:
- The right to request access to personal data you have provided
- The right to request correction of inaccurate information
- The right to request deletion where data is no longer needed
- The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests in certain circumstances
If you wish to exercise any of these rights in relation to information you have supplied to IvyBetz, you can contact contact@ivybetz.com with a clear description of your request. Responses will be handled in line with applicable UK and EU data protection rules.
