Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how mma Betting Online (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website. We act as a data controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Scope
This policy applies to every visitor to mma Betting Online. It covers data we receive through your browser, data you choose to provide, and data collected by analytics and performance tools we operate on the site. It does not extend to third-party websites we link to — each of those runs its own policy, which you should read separately.
What We Collect
We collect a limited set of data. Technical data comes from your device and includes IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, operating system, browser type, screen dimensions, and timestamps of requests. Usage data describes how you interact with our content: pages visited, time on page, scroll depth, internal navigation, and search terms used on the site. If you contact us voluntarily, we receive whatever you send — typically an email address and the content of your message.
We do not ask for, hold, or process financial information. mma Betting Online is an editorial publication. We do not operate gambling services, we do not accept bets, and we do not require accounts.
Lawful Bases
We rely on three lawful bases under UK GDPR Article 6. Legitimate interests cover site operation, security, fraud prevention, analytics in aggregated form, and protecting our editorial record. Consent covers any non-essential cookies and direct marketing, which you set via our cookie consent banner and can withdraw at any time. Legal obligation covers responses to valid law-enforcement requests and record-keeping required by UK statute.
How We Use Data
We use data to serve and secure the site, to understand which articles are useful and which need revision, to detect abusive or automated traffic, and to respond to messages you send us. Aggregated analytics inform editorial decisions — for example, which topics to expand into new articles. We do not sell personal data. We do not use data for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use strictly necessary cookies for site functionality and, with your consent, analytics and preference cookies. Full detail is in our Cookie Policy, including names, purposes, expiry, and how to withdraw consent.
Data Sharing
We share data only where necessary. Processors handle hosting, content delivery, email, and analytics under written agreements that require UK GDPR-compliant safeguards. We disclose data when UK law requires — for example, a valid court order or a statutory request from a competent authority. We never transfer data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
International Transfers
Where a processor stores data outside the United Kingdom, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or on the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office. We do not transfer data to jurisdictions without appropriate safeguards.
Retention
Server logs are retained for up to 90 days and then deleted or anonymised. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months. Correspondence you send us is retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable record-keeping period afterwards, then deleted.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request erasure in defined circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability where applicable, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the method listed on our About page. We respond within one calendar month.
If you believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Their contact details are available on the official ICO website.
Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. Access to systems is restricted, traffic is encrypted in transit, and we review our controls periodically. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we take our obligations seriously and respond promptly to any suspected incident.
Children
Content on mma Betting Online concerns licensed gambling in the United Kingdom and is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes
We review this policy regularly and update it when our practices or the law change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.

Enquiries about this policy, requests to exercise UK GDPR rights, and data-protection concerns should be sent through the contact method published on our About page.
