Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how DIAMONDLINE (the “site”, “we”) collects, uses and protects information about visitors to Betting on Baseball Tips. The policy is written for readers in the United Kingdom and is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Last updated on 10 August 2026.
Who we are
DIAMONDLINE is an independent editorial publication covering Major League Baseball betting markets for a British readership. We do not operate as a sportsbook, do not accept stakes and do not hold partnerships with any UK-licensed gambling operator. The site is the data controller for any personal information collected through Betting on Baseball Tips.
What information we collect
We collect only what is necessary to deliver and improve the editorial content on this site. The categories are limited and described below.
Information you provide voluntarily
If you contact the editorial team through any form or email channel published on the site, we receive the message you send, the address you write from and any details you choose to include. We do not require you to register an account, log in or submit personal data to read articles on Betting on Baseball Tips.
Information collected automatically
When you load a page, our server and our analytics provider log standard technical information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page requested, the referring URL, and the time of the request. This information is used in aggregate form to monitor uptime, prevent abuse and understand which articles British readers find useful.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses a small number of cookies. The full inventory and the choices available to you are described in the Cookie Policy at /cookie-policy/.
Why we use this information — the lawful bases
Under UK GDPR, every use of personal data must rest on one of six lawful bases. We rely on the following.
Legitimate interests. Aggregate analytics, security logging and basic editorial measurement run on the basis of legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR. We have weighed these interests against the rights and freedoms of readers and concluded that the limited, aggregated nature of the processing does not override those rights.
Consent. Any non-essential cookie or tracking technology runs only with your consent under Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR. You can give, refuse or withdraw consent through the cookie banner the first time you visit the site, and at any later time through the controls described in the Cookie Policy.
Compliance with legal obligations. Where we are required to retain or disclose information by UK law — for example, in response to a lawful request from a regulator or court — we rely on Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR.
How long we keep information
Server access logs are retained for a maximum of ninety days, after which they are deleted or fully anonymised. Aggregate analytics data, with no identifier capable of singling out a reader, is retained for up to twenty-six months for trend analysis. Editorial correspondence is retained for as long as it is relevant to the conversation, and for a reasonable archival period afterwards if it documents a published correction or right-of-reply request.
Who we share information with
We do not sell personal data. We do not transfer reader data to gambling operators, advertising networks beyond the analytics provider disclosed in the Cookie Policy, or any third party for marketing purposes. The only categories of recipient that may process information on our behalf are technical service providers — hosting, content delivery, web analytics and security — each bound by a written data-processing agreement that meets the standard of Article 28 UK GDPR.
Where any such provider stores or processes data outside the United Kingdom, we rely on adequacy decisions issued by the UK Government, on the International Data Transfer Agreement, or on the UK Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, depending on the destination country.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have, in respect of personal data we hold about you, the right of access; the right to rectification of inaccurate data; the right to erasure where one of the prescribed grounds applies; the right to restrict or object to processing; the right to data portability for data we hold under a contract or consent basis; and the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.
To exercise any of these rights, write to the editorial team using the contact details published on the About Us page at /about-us/. We will respond within one calendar month of receiving a verifiable request, and may extend that period by a further two months in genuinely complex cases, in which case we will explain the reasons for the extension.
How to complain
If you believe we have handled your personal data in a way that does not meet the standards of UK data protection law, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection. The ICO operates a public helpline and an online complaints route through ico.org.uk. We would always prefer to resolve a concern directly first, but the ICO route is open to you at any time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in technology, or in UK law. Any material change will be flagged at the top of this page with a revised “last updated” date. The current version is dated 10 August 2026 and supersedes any earlier version.
Contact
For privacy enquiries, please use the contact route published on the About Us page. We do not publish a postal address or telephone number; correspondence is handled through the editorial channel that the About Us page describes.
