Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2025. This Privacy Policy explains how TopTenListed (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you use toptenlisted.com (the “Site”), in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Data controller
For the purposes of UK data protection law, TopTenListed is the controller responsible for personal data processed in connection with operating the Site and responding to enquiries sent to the contact email published on the Site.
What data we process
We may process: technical and usage data such as IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referral URL, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, and timestamps; communications data if you email us, including your email address, name if provided, and the content of your message; and records of consent relating to cookies or similar technologies where required.
Purposes and legal bases
We process data to operate and secure the Site, analyse aggregate traffic patterns, respond to enquiries, comply with legal obligations, and defend legal claims. Depending on the activity, we rely on: legitimate interests (running a secure information service, understanding aggregate usage, and improving content layout), consent where required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, and contractual necessity when handling a specific request you initiate by contacting us.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and storage in your browser for essential functions, remembering preferences such as cookie choices, and, where enabled, analytics. Details of categories, retention, and your choices are set out in our Cookie Policy. You may control cookies through our banner where provided and through your browser settings; blocking certain cookies may affect Site functionality.
Affiliate and outbound links
Links to third-party gambling operators may include tracking parameters so those operators can attribute visits or registrations. When you follow such a link, the operator’s privacy notice governs processing on its own site, including any account registration, payment data, and marketing preferences.
Recipients and processors
We use infrastructure and service providers (for example hosting, content delivery, security, and email delivery) who process data on our instructions under appropriate contracts. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the public.
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, unless an exception applies.
Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, including statutory limitation periods for legal claims and technical logs kept for security monitoring. Email correspondence is typically retained for as long as needed to complete your request and for a reasonable period afterwards unless a longer retention is required by law.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; you should use unique passwords and protect your devices.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, data portability (where applicable), and withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom. We will respond to rights requests within statutory timeframes and may need to verify your identity.
Children
The Site is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have received such data, please contact us so we can delete it promptly where appropriate.
Automated decision-making
We do not use solely automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you in relation to the Site.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly. For material changes, we will take reasonable steps to bring updates to your attention where required by law.
