Privacy statement
This website is operated by the Gambling Commission whose
principal place of business is at Victoria Square House, Victoria
Square, Birmingham B2 4BP.
Information we collect about how visitors use our
website
We respect the privacy of every individual who visits our
website. Our website does not automatically store or capture
personal information, but merely logs the user's
IP address which is automatically
recognised by the web server.
We will collect information about visitors for usage
analysis, and to enable them to use our online
regulatory returns system:
Usage analysis: We use third party
software to create anonymous
cookies and log the IP
addresses of visitors to help us to analyse the usage of the
website. We do not collect any personal information in the process,
but these data enable us to record the pages that visitors see
while visiting the website.
We do this to assess which parts of the
website are the most popular and identify trends in usage, helping
to guide the development of new web pages.
Our cookies expire automatically after three
months (90 days). If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you
can set your web browser to reject them. This will
not impair your use of this website. Each browser is different, so
check the "Help" menu of your browser to find out how to change
your cookie preferences or delete your stored cookies.
Online regulatory returns: Our online
regulatory returns system uses two cookies – one contains a session
ID and one contains an authentication key. These cookies are not
stored – they both expire when the visitor closes their
browser.
How we use information visitors provide us
with
We do not use cookies for collecting user information. Except as
otherwise stated, we may use information visitors provide via this
website to communicate information to them (if they have requested
it) and for internal marketing and research purposes. We do
not disclose any information visitors provide via the website to
any third parties or other government departments except where:
- a) such disclosures are necessary to fulfill our service
obligations to them, in which case we will require such third
parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy
Policy
- b) required by applicable laws, court orders or government
regulations (for example to prevent or detect crime)
- c) they give us permission to do so.
We take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or
alteration of data that visitors give us.
If you would like us to correct or update any information, or if
you would like information deleted from our records, then please
