Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 9 October 2026

This policy explains what personal data The Gallop collects, why, and what your rights are under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The Gallop is responsible for your data and you can reach us at hello@thegallop.uk.

1. What we collect

  • When you join: your name and email address, and your membership details (plan, status, renewal date and Stripe customer reference). Payments are taken by Stripe; we never see or store your card details.
  • When you join our Telegram channel: your Telegram user ID and username, so we can match your membership to the channel.
  • When you sign up for the free results email: your email address.
  • When you sign in: sign-in is by a link sent to your email. We set one cookie to keep you signed in. We don't use passwords.
  • When you contact us: your email address and what you send us.
  • When you visit the site: our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver pages and protect the site. We count visits to see how the site is used: which pages are viewed, which site you arrived from, and clicks on the Join buttons. We do this without cookies. To count each visitor once a day, your IP address and browser type are combined with a code that changes every day and scrambled one way; the IP address itself isn't stored, the scrambled value can't identify you, and it's deleted after three days. Cloudflare Web Analytics also measures page visits and loading speed for us, again without cookies and without identifying you. We don't use advertising trackers.

2. How we use it

  • To provide your membership: taking payment, giving you access to the Telegram channel, sending tips by email if you ask for them, and managing your account.
  • To send emails you've asked for, such as the weekly results email, and service and billing messages. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link.
  • To answer your questions and keep accurate accounting records.

We do not sell your data or share it with anyone for their own marketing.

3. Legal basis

  • Contract: to provide the membership you've paid for.
  • Consent: for the free results email. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Legitimate interests: to keep the site secure and to answer enquiries.
  • Legal obligation: to keep payment and accounting records.

4. Who processes your data for us

5. International transfers

Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, they rely on safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or approved contract clauses.

6. Cookies

We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in to the members area. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies (our visit counts work without them), so there's no cookie banner.

7. How long we keep it

  • Members: while you're a member, and afterwards for as long as we need to for tax and accounting, normally six years.
  • Free results email: until you unsubscribe.
  • Emails to us: for as long as needed to deal with them.

8. Your rights

You can ask to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or receive a copy to take elsewhere. You can withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@thegallop.uk and we'll reply within one month.

9. Age

The Gallop is for adults aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and we'll close any account we find belongs to someone under 18.

10. Security

The site is served over HTTPS, sign-in uses one-time email links, and card payments are handled entirely by Stripe. If you think something is wrong, email hello@thegallop.uk straight away.

11. Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and tell members by email about any significant change.

12. Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

13. Gambling support
