This privacy notice explains how bjc2024.co.uk collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site. We are committed to transparency about what data reaches us, who else sees it, and the control you have over it under UK data protection law.
Spinpolo is the operator reviewed on this portal. This notice covers our own practices as an information site, not the operator's account or payment handling — their privacy terms govern what happens when you register or deposit with them.
Scope of this notice
This policy applies to bjc2024.co.uk and the personal data we process when you browse our pages, submit a contact form, or interact with embedded content. It does not cover data collected directly by Spinpolo when you open an account or place a wager — that relationship is governed by the operator's own privacy documentation.
We process information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. bjc2024.co.uk is the data controller for the purposes described here.
Categories of information we collect
The data we gather falls into three groups. Technical data arrives automatically when you load a page: your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers and the pages you visit. Contact data is what you provide when you write to us — your email address, the content of your message, and any details you choose to include. Analytics and cookie data comes from scripts that track how the site is used, which pages perform well, and where visitors arrive from.
We do not collect payment details, account credentials, or identity documents — those reach the operator directly if you register with them, never through this portal.
Lawful basis for processing
We rely on legitimate interests for most processing: running the site, understanding how it is used, and improving the content we publish. Where we use analytics or advertising cookies that go beyond what is strictly necessary, we rely on consent — the banner you see on your first visit asks for it, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through your browser settings.
When you contact us by email, we process your message under legitimate interests to respond to your enquiry. If we ever need to process data for a different purpose, we will explain the legal basis at that time.
How we use your information
Technical data helps us keep the site secure, diagnose problems, and measure which pages are read most. Analytics data — page views, session length, referral sources — shows us what is working and what needs rewriting. Contact-form submissions are read by our editorial team to answer questions about the content we publish, and email addresses from those forms are kept only as long as the conversation is active.
We do not use your data to build marketing profiles, make automated decisions about you, or track you across other sites beyond what standard advertising and analytics scripts do when you consent to them.
Sharing with third parties
Some data is shared with service providers who help us run the site. Hosting and infrastructure providers process technical data to deliver pages to your browser. Analytics platforms receive anonymised usage data to generate reports on traffic and behaviour. Advertising networks, where present, use cookie data to show relevant ads and measure their performance.
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. Data is only shared with processors who are contractually bound to protect it, and only for the purposes described here. If we are ever required to disclose data by law — a court order, a regulatory request — we will do so to the extent legally required, and we will notify you unless prohibited.
Transfers outside the UK
Some of the third-party services we use store or process data on servers outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place — standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent protections under UK GDPR. Your data is not transferred to countries without appropriate legal frameworks.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have significant control over your personal data. Access: you can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Rectification: if something is wrong or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. Erasure: you can ask us to delete your data, subject to legal obligations that require us to keep certain records. Restriction: you can ask us to stop processing your data while a dispute is resolved. Portability: where technically feasible, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used format. Objection: you can object to processing based on legitimate interests, and we will stop unless we have compelling grounds to continue.
You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on it — withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything we did before you withdrew it. This applies particularly to analytics and advertising cookies: turn them off in your browser and the tracking stops.
How to exercise your rights
Send a request to [email protected] with enough detail for us to locate your data — the email address you used to contact us, the approximate date, or a description of the enquiry. We will respond within one month, and we will not charge a fee unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk for guidance on making a complaint.
How we protect your information
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, or unlawful processing. Our site is served over HTTPS, and access to contact-form submissions is restricted to authorised personnel. Third-party processors are selected on the basis of their security standards and contractual commitments.
No transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security — but we take every reasonable step to safeguard the data entrusted to us.
How long we keep your data
Technical logs and analytics data are retained for up to 26 months, after which they are anonymised or deleted. Contact-form submissions and email correspondence are kept for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry, typically no more than 12 months, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Cookie data persists according to the expiry periods set by the cookies themselves — session cookies disappear when you close your browser, persistent cookies last up to two years.
Where we have a legal obligation to retain records — for example, to defend a claim or comply with accounting rules — we keep data for the minimum period the law requires, then delete it.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for users aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, contact [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Gambling content is not suitable for minors. If a device is shared with someone under 18, consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page with a new "last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of the notice for a reasonable period.
Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with a change, stop using the site and contact us to exercise your data rights.

For questions about this privacy policy, or to exercise any of the rights described above, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours during working days.
