Last updated: 16 junio 2026
OctaOdds (the website published at how can i bet on ufc Fights) is an editorial publication providing data-led analysis of UFC betting markets for adult readers in the United Kingdom. This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit the site, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
OctaOdds is the data controller for personal data processed through this site. If you have any question about how we handle your data, contact our editorial team through the address provided on our About Us page.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to anyone who visits how can i bet on ufc Fights or interacts with content published on the site. It does not cover third-party sites that we link to, even where those links are placed inside editorial content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. We encourage you to read the privacy notices of any external service before sharing data with it.
What personal data we collect
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. The categories of data we may process are limited to the following.
Technical data. When your browser requests a page from our server, the server records standard technical information including your IP address (truncated where possible), the user agent string of your browser, the page requested, the referring page, the time of the request, and the HTTP response status. This data is used for security, fraud prevention and aggregate traffic statistics.
Analytics data. We may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand how readers use the site in aggregate, for example which articles are read most often and which devices are most common. Where this analytics tool relies on cookies or similar technologies, you can manage your consent through our cookie banner. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Communication data. If you contact us via email or through any feedback form we may publish, we will hold the content of your message and any details you supply (such as a name or email address) only for as long as needed to respond to you and to keep an audit trail of editorial corrections.
We do not knowingly collect any special category data, and we do not collect data from individuals known to be under 18. OctaOdds is intended for adult readers only.
Why we process your data and on what lawful basis
Under the UK GDPR, every processing activity must rest on a lawful basis. The bases we rely on are limited to the following.
Legitimate interests. We rely on legitimate interests to keep the site secure, to detect and prevent abuse, to maintain server logs and to produce aggregate analytics that improve our editorial work. We have weighed our interests against your rights and believe the impact on your privacy is minimal, because the data involved is technical, short-lived, and not used to build a personal profile.
Consent. Where the law requires it, we rely on your consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie banner without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Legal obligation. We will process and retain data to the extent required by UK law, including responding to lawful requests from regulators or law-enforcement authorities.
How long we keep your data
Server access logs are retained for no longer than is needed for security and abuse-prevention purposes and are routinely rotated. Email correspondence is kept for the period required to handle the matter and to maintain a reasonable audit trail of editorial decisions, after which it is deleted. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised at the earliest practical opportunity. Where any retention period is set by UK law or by HMRC accounting rules, we follow that period.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for marketing purposes. We may share limited technical or contact data with the following categories of recipient.
Service providers. Hosting providers, content-delivery networks and analytics suppliers that process data on our behalf. Each is bound by a written data-processing agreement that reflects UK GDPR requirements.
Authorities. Regulators, courts, the police or other public bodies, where we are required by law to disclose data.
Professional advisers. Lawyers, accountants and auditors where strictly necessary to obtain professional advice or to defend our legal interests.
International transfers
Where a service provider processes data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on UK-approved transfer mechanisms — the UK addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, or transfers to countries covered by a UK adequacy decision — to ensure your data benefits from equivalent protection.
Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to ask us, in respect of personal data we hold about you, to provide a copy, correct inaccuracies, delete data where the lawful basis no longer applies, restrict processing, object to processing carried out on legitimate-interests grounds, and (where applicable) to receive your data in a portable electronic format. You can exercise these rights by writing to us through the contact route on our About Us page. We will respond within one month of receiving a complete request, in line with statutory time limits.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK’s data-protection regulator. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, particularly when our processing activities change, when new tools are introduced on the site, or when UK data-protection law changes. The «last updated» date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the site for a reasonable period.
