Last updated: 1 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how nbarefbettin (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects information when you visit our website. We publish independent NBA referee betting analysis for readers in the United Kingdom and we take the privacy of those readers seriously.

By using nbarefbettin you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the website.

Who we are

nbarefbettin is an independent editorial project covering NBA officiating and basketball betting markets in the United Kingdom. The site is operated by its editorial team and is not affiliated with the NBA, any officiating body, or any sportsbook operator. All analysis published on the site is informational and does not constitute betting advice.

References in this policy to “the website”, “nbarefbettin” or “we” refer to the editorial organisation publishing this domain.

Data we collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to run the website and understand how readers use it. The categories of data are:

Information you provide voluntarily. If you send us a question or feedback through any contact channel we provide, we receive the content of that message and any contact details you choose to share. We do not require account creation to read articles on nbarefbettin.

Information collected automatically. When you visit a page on nbarefbettin our servers and any third-party analytics services we use may record technical information including the page URL, the date and time of your visit, your approximate location based on IP address, the type of device and browser you are using, the operating system, the referring website if any, and the language preference set in your browser.

Cookies and similar technologies. We use a limited set of cookies for functional and analytical purposes. The detail of which cookies are set, why and for how long is described in our separate Cookie Policy.

How we use the data

We use the data we collect only for these purposes:

To operate, maintain and improve the website and the quality of the editorial content published on it. To analyse aggregate, non-identifying patterns in how readers use the site so we can understand which articles are useful and where the structure can be improved. To respond to messages you send us. To comply with legal obligations applicable to us as a UK-facing publisher, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data with sportsbook operators or affiliate networks. We do not use reader data to build profiles for targeted advertising on this domain.

Under UK GDPR we process personal data on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests. Running a publicly available editorial website, measuring aggregate usage, and protecting our infrastructure against abuse.

Consent. Where we set non-essential cookies or process any data that requires explicit consent, we rely on the consent you provide via our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Legal obligation. Where we are required to retain or disclose data under UK law.

How long we keep data

Server access logs are retained for a limited period necessary to investigate technical issues and security events, after which they are deleted or anonymised. Aggregated analytics data is retained for as long as needed for editorial planning. Messages you send us are retained for the time required to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of follow-up.

Sharing with third parties

We use a small number of third-party services to deliver the website. These may include a hosting provider, a content-delivery network, an analytics provider, and an email service if you contact us. Each of these processors is bound by contractual obligations to handle data only on our instructions and only for the purposes set out above.

We may be required to disclose information if compelled to do so by a court order or other lawful request from a UK authority. We will resist any request we believe to be overbroad.

International transfers

Some of our processors may store or process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms recognised by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office to ensure your data remains protected to UK standards.

Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, the right to ask us to correct inaccurate data, the right to ask us to delete data we no longer have a lawful basis to keep, the right to restrict or object to certain processing, and the right to data portability where applicable. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time for any processing based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact the editorial team via the channel listed on our About Us page. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, as required by UK GDPR.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your request you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect data from unauthorised access, loss or destruction. No method of internet transmission is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of a security issue affecting nbarefbettin, please report it through the channel listed on our About Us page.
