Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2025.
Top Rating Zone ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website topratingzone.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you use the Site, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that information. By using the Site you accept the practices described in this policy.
Information We May Collect
When you visit the Site we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for security purposes, to ensure the Site functions correctly, and to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. We do not require you to register or provide personal details to browse the Site.
If you contact us by email (for example at info@topratingzone.com), we will use the contact details you provide only to respond to your enquiry. We may retain your message and our response for a reasonable period for record-keeping and to handle any follow-up. We do not use your email address for marketing unless you have given explicit consent.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. Essential cookies are used to remember your preferences, such as whether you have accepted the cookie banner or confirmed your age, so that we do not ask you again during the same session. We may also use analytics or performance cookies to understand how the Site is used. You can reject non-essential cookies via the cookie banner. Your choice is stored in your browser. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the Site, to improve user experience, to detect and prevent fraud or abuse, to comply with legal obligations, and to communicate with you if you have contacted us. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information with service providers who assist us in running the Site (such as hosting or analytics) under strict confidentiality and data-processing agreements. We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
Third-Party Links and Affiliates
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including online casinos and affiliate partners. When you click on such a link, you leave our Site and are subject to the privacy policy and practices of the third party. We do not control and are not responsible for the collection or use of your information by third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit before providing any personal data. Affiliate links may allow us to earn a commission when you sign up or play at an operator; this does not change how we treat your data on our own Site.
Data Retention
We retain technical and access logs for as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, and improving the Site, typically for a limited period (e.g. 12 to 24 months) unless a longer retention period is required by law. If you have contacted us by email, we retain the correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter. Cookie-related preferences are stored in your browser according to the durations described in our Cookie Policy.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure hosting, limited access to data, and appropriate configuration of our systems. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but we strive to protect your data to the best of our ability.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws, including the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about how we use your data, please contact us at info@topratingzone.com. We will respond within a reasonable time in accordance with applicable law.
Children
The Site is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in the United Kingdom or in other countries where our service providers operate. If we transfer data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If we make material changes that affect how we use your personal data, we may notify you by a notice on the Site or by other appropriate means where required by law.
