Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Pools UK Guide handles information when visitors use the website. It outlines what the site does and does not collect, how third-party services may be involved, and what visitors should know when following links to other websites.
What this site does
The Pools UK Guide provides editorial information about The Pools for readers in the United Kingdom. The website does not create player accounts, accept wagers, process deposits or withdrawals, or collect payment card or banking details. It is an information resource only and does not operate gambling, account or payment services.
The website does not include contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, account registration forms or other features designed to collect personal information directly from visitors. During normal browsing, users are therefore not asked to enter personal details or provide information through the site.
Analytics and tracking
The website does not include analytics scripts, advertising scripts, tracking pixels, third-party tracking code or affiliate tracking links. Visitors can read the site without those technologies being used by the website itself, and no tracking service is presented here as part of the browsing experience.
If analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, consent tools, embedded content, forms or other scripts are introduced, they may affect how personal information is processed. Any such changes should be reflected in this Privacy Policy so that the information shown here matches the services and technologies actually used on the website.
Server logs and hosting
A hosting provider may process routine server logs as part of delivering and securing the website. Depending on the hosting setup, those logs can include technical information such as an IP address, request time, requested page, browser details or error data. This type of processing is generally connected with the technical operation of the site rather than its editorial content.
The website does not identify a specific hosting provider or state a retention period for server logs. For that reason, this policy does not make assumptions about a provider’s storage or retention practices. Where those details are needed, the relevant hosting provider’s own privacy information should be checked directly.
External websites
Editorial pages may link to external sources, such as a regulator or an official brand website. Those websites operate independently and follow their own privacy practices. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination website is responsible for its own handling of personal information and its own privacy rules apply.
Changes to this policy
This policy is intended to reflect how the website operates. If features such as analytics, advertising, forms, affiliate tracking, consent tools, accounts, payments or other services are introduced, the policy should be updated so that readers can clearly understand how information is handled on the site.
