The data controller

Ivorywick Online Media Limited, Eurotowers, Europort Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA, decides how personal data passing through www.topratedbetting.com is used, and answers at [email protected]. Nothing on the site requires a login: there is no member area, no comment thread, no mailing list and no web form. Personal data therefore comes down to what browsers transmit with each request and what you decide to include in an email.

Records we keep

  • Server records. Our host, together with the Cloudflare network that delivers the pages, notes IP address, browser, requested address, referrer and timestamp for every hit.
  • Bookmaker clicks. Following a /go/ button makes the redirect service log which button, at what moment, plus the ID stored in mz_vid. Without that record we could not match a commission to our pages.
  • Correspondence. Writing in hands us the sender address you used and whatever the message says.

Cookies

Our own domain can receive the following four, and nothing else from us:

NamePlaced whenPurposeExpires after
mz_vidAny page loadRandom ID that lets returning readers be told apart from first-timers in visit totals12 months
mz_srcAny page loadEntry route of the visit: direct, search or referral30 days
mozbiz_sessionOnly once you follow a /go/ linkHolds the redirect session so the click lands on the intended offerRoughly 20 hours
XSRF-TOKENOnly once you follow a /go/ linkAnti-forgery token protecting the redirect serviceRoughly 20 hours

No third-party analytics (Google Analytics included), ad pixels, session replay or push-notification code runs here. When you move on to a bookmaker, its site has a cookie notice of its own. Blocking or clearing them in your browser leaves every page fully usable.

Purposes and legal grounds

Server records, mz_vid and mz_src are justified as our legitimate interests under the UK GDPR: protecting the site, understanding where readers arrive from and reconciling the referrals explained under Bookmaker partnerships. Emails serve one purpose – replying. Profiling and automated decision-making play no part.

Recipients

Hosting, delivery and redirect suppliers act as our processors. A bookmaker reached via our button sees a referral code naming this site, never your identity. Public bodies get information only when the law compels it. Selling reader data is something we do not do.

Storage periods and transfers

Cookie lifetimes follow the table above. Server records are held just long enough for security work and commission reconciliation and then erased; emails are removed once the matter is closed. If a supplier processes information beyond the United Kingdom, the legal transfer safeguards are relied on.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability are all available. Email [email protected] from the inbox you want answered, naming the right you wish to exercise. You may also take a grievance to the ICO or to the supervisory authority where you live.

Under-18s

Nobody below 18 is meant to read this site. Data found to belong to a minor is deleted.

Revisions

A new cookie or supplier appears in this policy before it goes live. The stamp under the heading gives the most recent check.
