Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how how do you bet Baseball (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information about visitors to our website. We operate this site under the data-protection framework set out in the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Reading this page is the easiest way to understand exactly what happens to data when you visit, what choices you have and how to contact us if you want those choices respected.
Who we are
how do you bet Baseball is an editorial website that publishes analysis of Major League Baseball betting markets, with a particular focus on readers based in the United Kingdom. We do not accept bets, hold customer funds or operate any gambling product. We are not licensed by the Gambling Commission because we do not need to be: we publish information, not wagers.
What information we collect
We collect a small amount of information automatically when you load any page on how do you bet Baseball. This is the data your browser sends to any website it visits, and includes the following: the IP address from which the request was made, the user-agent string identifying your browser and operating system, the URL of the page you requested, the URL of the page that referred you (where one exists) and a timestamp. This information is held in standard server access logs.
If you contact us directly by email, we will collect the email address you write from and any information you choose to include in your message. We do not run user accounts on this site, so we do not collect names, dates of birth, payment information or marketing preferences.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies and analytics tools to understand how readers use the site and to improve its content. The categories of cookies we may set are described below.
Strictly necessary cookies enable core site functions such as setting your cookie preferences and remembering whether you have dismissed certain notices. These cookies do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Analytics cookies, where used, help us understand which articles readers find most useful, how long readers spend on a page and which devices they use. These cookies are set only after you have given consent through our cookie banner. The data they generate is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
You can read the full breakdown of every cookie we set on our Cookie Policy page.
Why we process your information
We rely on the following lawful bases under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:
Legitimate interests: maintaining server security, preventing abuse, generating aggregated statistics about site usage and improving our content. We have considered the impact on visitors and concluded that this processing is proportionate and unlikely to override the rights and freedoms of any individual reader.
Consent: where we use analytics cookies that fall outside the strictly necessary category, we ask for your active consent through our cookie banner. You can withdraw that consent at any time by adjusting your preferences or clearing cookies in your browser.
Compliance with legal obligations: where the law requires us to retain particular information, for example to respond to a lawful request from UK law enforcement.
Sharing your information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances: with hosting and analytics service providers that act as data processors on our behalf and are bound by written contracts; where we are legally required to do so by a court order, statutory power or other lawful authority; and where it is necessary to protect our rights, property or safety, or that of our readers or the public.
Service providers we use may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we put in place the appropriate safeguards required by the UK GDPR, including standard contractual clauses or transfers to jurisdictions covered by an adequacy decision.
How long we keep information
Server access logs are kept for no longer than 12 months. Aggregated analytics data, where used, is retained for up to 26 months in line with industry-standard analytics defaults. Any email correspondence with us is retained only for as long as is reasonably necessary to deal with the matter you have raised, and in any event no longer than 24 months unless you have an ongoing query with us.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to be informed about how it is used, the right to access a copy of the data we hold about you, the right to have inaccurate data corrected, the right to erasure of data we no longer need to retain, the right to restrict our processing, the right to data portability and the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data-protection regulator. The ICO can be contacted at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concern directly first.
Children
how do you bet Baseball publishes content about gambling markets and is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or the law. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will always reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through a clear notice on the site.
