Legal Bases for Processing
Thencsnetwork.org.uk processes your personal data under the following legal bases as defined by the UK GDPR: Consent — where you have actively agreed to receive marketing emails or non-essential cookies; Legitimate Interests — for analytics, security monitoring, and affiliate tracking, where our interests are balanced against your rights and do not override them; Legal Obligation — where processing is necessary to comply with applicable UK legislation; and Contract — where processing is required to fulfil a service you have requested. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Our site contains affiliate links to licensed gambling operators, including VeloBet Casino. When you click these links, you will leave thencsnetwork.org.uk and be directed to the operator's own platform, which operates under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of third-party operators. We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics (with IP anonymisation enabled) to understand how visitors interact with our content. These providers may process data outside the UK; where this occurs, appropriate safeguards — including Standard Contractual Clauses — are in place. We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

- Right to Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data

- Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing
- Right to Restrict Processing: Ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw any consent previously given at any time
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact section below. We will respond within 30 days in accordance with UK GDPR requirements. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your rights have been breached.
Data Security & Retention
Thencsnetwork.org.uk implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), restricted internal access, and regular security reviews. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions are retained for a maximum of 12 months; analytics data is retained in accordance with our third-party providers' standard retention periods. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
