Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Betting Tips for Baseball (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles personal data when you visit this website. We operate as an independent publisher of editorial analysis about baseball betting markets and do not accept wagers, hold customer funds or operate any gambling product ourselves. We are committed to processing personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
Betting Tips for Baseball is an editorial publication producing data-driven written analysis of MLB and adjacent baseball markets for a UK-based readership. The site does not solicit or accept betting transactions and does not act as an intermediary between users and any bookmaker. Contact details for data protection enquiries are provided below.
What personal data we collect
We aim to collect the minimum personal data necessary to operate the site. The categories of data we may process are limited to the following.
Technical data collected automatically. When you visit the site your browser transmits standard request data, including IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, timestamps, and pages requested. This data is generated by the act of browsing the web and is logged for security, anti-abuse and aggregate traffic measurement.
Cookie and similar identifier data. We may set first-party cookies that store small amounts of data on your device. Details of categories and purposes are set out in our Cookie Policy, available at /cookie-policy/.
Information you provide voluntarily. If you contact us through any contact form, email link or other channel offered on the site, we will process the personal data contained in that communication (typically name, email address, and the content of your message). We do not require you to create an account to read the site, and we do not operate a registration system.
We do not knowingly collect special category data, payment information or government identifiers, and we do not request such data on this site.
Why we process this data and the legal basis
We rely on the following legal bases under UK GDPR.
Legitimate interests. We process technical request data to keep the site available, secure and to understand aggregate readership patterns. Our legitimate interest is operating a stable editorial publication. We have assessed this interest against your rights and consider it proportionate, since the data is limited in scope and not used to identify individual readers.
Consent. Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we will rely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time through the cookie controls described in our Cookie Policy.
Legal obligation. We may process and retain data where required to comply with applicable law, including obligations under UK financial promotion rules, gambling advertising rules and law-enforcement requests.
How long we retain data
Server logs containing technical request data are retained for a period proportionate to security and analytics needs, typically not exceeding twelve months. Correspondence sent to us is retained only for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on the matter, after which it is deleted. Cookie data is retained for the lifetime of each cookie as listed in the Cookie Policy.
Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal data. We may share limited personal data with the following categories of recipients, only where necessary.
Service providers acting on our behalf, such as hosting, content delivery network providers and analytics processors, may handle data on our instructions under written data-processing terms. Such recipients are not permitted to use the data for their own purposes. We may disclose data where required by law, regulatory request or to defend our legal rights.
Where any service provider transfers personal data outside the United Kingdom, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognised by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses with appropriate supplementary measures.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access personal data we hold about you, to request rectification of inaccurate data, to request erasure in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability where applicable. Where processing is based on consent you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights you may contact us through the channels listed in our Legal Notice. We will respond within the statutory time frame.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you consider that our processing infringes data protection law.
Children
This site is intended for adults aged 18 or over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly process personal data of anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, please contact us so the data can be removed.
Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, alteration or unauthorised access. No internet transmission is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or to legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page indicates the date of the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the site for a reasonable period.
