Lobby Set

Privacy: what Lobby Set collects, and your rights

Who is responsible for your data

Lobby Set is published by the Lobby Set editorial team. As publisher, it decides how the personal data described here is used, and so is its controller under UK data protection law.

This policy covers every page of Lobby Set. If what the site collects ever changes, this page changes with it. The site is meant for adults, and it isn't built to collect anything from anyone under 18.

What we collect when you visit

As little as the site can run on. The pages carry no analytics script and no advertising, and they set no tracking cookies of ours. Every file they load, fonts included, comes from lobbyset.com itself.

Two parts of the delivery chain keep technical records all the same.

  • Cloudflare sits in front of the site and handles every request as the publisher's processor. It serves cached copies of the pages, filters abusive traffic and may set a security cookie, described on the cookies page.
  • The server behind Cloudflare keeps request logs. It sits in the UK, at a hosting company that holds those logs as the publisher's processor.

These records can include an IP address, the time of a request, the page asked for and the browser's description of itself. Their only uses are running the site and protecting it from abuse, which is the publisher's legitimate interest. The server deletes its logs after 14 days, which leaves time to trace an attack or a fault. Cloudflare may process them outside the UK, under the EU standard contractual clauses and the UK's International Data Transfer Addendum. Both form part of the data processing terms that Cloudflare publishes on its website. We never sell data. Nor do we build profiles of readers or share logs with any casino.

What happens to an email you send

An email gives us your address, any name you sign with, and whatever the message says. Cloudflare forwards each message sent to contact@lobbyset.com to a mailbox the team keeps with an email provider, which stores it for us as the publisher's processor.

We use those details to reply. For a report about a page, we also use them to check the claim and correct the page. The lawful basis is the publisher's legitimate interest in replying and in keeping the pages accurate. Writing to us is your choice, and no law or contract requires it. Without a reply address or enough detail, though, we may not be able to answer or check a report.

Nobody is added to a mailing list, and a message is never passed to a casino or anyone else unless the law requires it.

Account numbers, identity documents and bank details have no place in a message to us. No request needs them. A message is kept while the matter it raises is open, and a report that led to a correction stays with that correction's record while the corrected page is online.

Which rights you hold over your data

UK data protection law, meaning the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR, gives you rights over the personal data held about you here.

You can request a copy of it, a correction or its erasure. You can also ask for its use to be limited, and object to any use that rests on legitimate interests. Each right comes with conditions set by that law, and if one doesn't apply to your request, we'll tell you why.

Send the request to contact@lobbyset.com. There's normally no fee. We have one month to answer, and the law allows longer for a complex request. If we need that, we will tell you why.

If you're unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can complain to us first by email. We acknowledge every complaint within 30 days, look into it, keep you informed of progress and give you the outcome without undue delay. If you're still unhappy, you can complain to the ICO, the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
