Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

CourtEdge (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website CourtEdge and is committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and what rights you have.

Who We Are

CourtEdge is an independent editorial website providing basketball betting analysis, settlement rule guides and regulatory information for a United Kingdom audience. We do not operate a bookmaker, accept wagers or process payments for gambling services.

What Data We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

Automatically collected data. When you visit our website, our hosting provider and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected through server logs and, where you have given consent, through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Voluntarily provided data. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We do not collect financial information, betting account details or identification documents.

How We Use Your Data

We use automatically collected data to understand how visitors interact with our content, to identify technical issues and to improve the quality and relevance of our articles. We use voluntarily provided data solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we process your data on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interest — for website analytics and performance monitoring, where the processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the site and does not override your rights.

Consent — for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies. You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preferences.

Contractual necessity — when we process data to respond to a communication you have initiated.

Cookies and Tracking

Our cookie policy is described in detail on our Cookie Policy page. In summary, we use essential cookies required for the website to function and, with your consent, analytics cookies to measure traffic and engagement. We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for website hosting, analytics and content delivery. These services process data on our behalf under data processing agreements that require them to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify. We do not integrate with social media tracking pixels or advertising networks.

Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a maximum of 90 days. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards, unless you request earlier deletion.

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access your personal data, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to restrict or object to processing and to receive your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within 30 days.

International Transfers

Where data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Children

Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision was published. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
