Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 April 2026
Who we are
bethelwest.com is operated by the publisher responsible for this domain. For privacy-related questions, including subject access requests, please contact info@bethelwest.com. We act as a controller in respect of personal data we collect directly through the Site’s infrastructure and consent tooling. When you follow links to third-party gambling operators, those businesses become separate controllers and their privacy notices apply from the point you land on their service.
Scope of this policy
This policy describes how we handle information when you browse editorial pages, interact with the age verification prompt, respond to the cookie banner, or send us an email. It does not replace an Operator’s own documentation about account verification, source-of-funds checks, anti-money-laundering records, or marketing preferences once you have opened a wallet with them.
Categories of personal data
We may process technical identifiers automatically generated by web servers and content delivery systems, including Internet Protocol address, approximate geographic area derived from IP for abuse prevention, date and time of requests, requested URL paths, HTTP status codes, bytes transferred, referring URL where your browser sends it, and browser type string. If you email us, we process your address, message body, and any attachments you choose to send. We do not operate a user login on the public Site; therefore we do not routinely collect government ID numbers or payment card data ourselves.
Purposes and lawful bases
We process server logs and security telemetry on the basis of legitimate interests in running a secure site, detecting malicious traffic patterns, measuring uptime, and defending against credential-stuffing or denial of service attempts. Where UK GDPR requires a balancing test, we consider your rights and minimise retention. We process consent-banner and age-gate storage where that storage is strictly necessary to respect your choices during a session or until you clear storage, and we rely on consent where we enable optional analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies and local storage for this domain and declining optional categories when prompted again.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. Local storage and session storage are similar browser features used to remember that you passed the age gate or accepted or declined optional cookies. Strictly necessary storage prevents infinite loops in the user interface. Optional analytics cookies, if activated only after you press Accept, help us understand aggregate traffic such as page views and approximate scroll depth without attempting to sell your data to unrelated brokers. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary storage may cause the age gate to reappear each visit until you allow the minimum needed for that flow.
Analytics and logs
If analytics are enabled, we configure tools to avoid collecting precise free-text fields where possible and to aggregate reports. Raw access logs may be processed by our hosting provider under a data processing agreement. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal effects about you on the Site itself.
Sharing and recipients
We may share limited technical data with infrastructure vendors, security services, and email providers who assist in delivering the Site. Those recipients process data under contract and only on our instructions except where law compels independent disclosure. We do not sell your personal information as a standalone commodity. If we ever contemplated a corporate reorganisation involving a new owner, we would require continuity of protection and notify you where the law mandates.
International transfers
Our hosting stack may process data in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. If any processor stores or accesses data from other countries, we rely on UK-approved transfer mechanisms such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations, supplemented by technical measures where appropriate.
Retention
Server logs are retained on a rolling basis for a period measured in weeks or months depending on security needs, after which they are deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve your query and manage any related dispute, unless a longer period is required by law or legitimate litigation hold.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, including TLS for transport encryption where supported, access controls on administrative consoles, and patching cadences advised by vendors. No online system is perfectly secure; report suspected incidents promptly to the email address above.
Your rights
If UK GDPR applies, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and data portability where technically feasible. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve concerns quickly. Rights are not absolute; for example, erasure may conflict with freedom of expression or legal retention duties.
Children
The Site is not directed at persons under eighteen and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal data for marketing. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Updates
We will revise this policy when our processing activities change materially. Continued use after the updated date indicates acknowledgement of the new document, subject to any stricter consent requirements for optional tools.
