The short version
We don’t track you

What we collect
The little information involved
Fonts
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. See Google’s privacy policy.
If you email us
We use your email address and message only to reply and to correct the guide. We don’t add you to any mailing list, and we delete correspondence when it’s no longer needed.
The trip-cost estimator
The figures you type into the estimator stay in your browser. They aren’t sent to us or saved.
Links to other sites
Racecourses, partners and other websites
We are an affiliate of Booking.com through Commission Junction (CJ). Clicking a hotel link may set a CJ or Booking.com cookie to record that a booking came from us, so we may earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay. Other links take you to independent sites, whose own privacy policies and cookies apply.
Your rights
Your data, your choice
Under UK data protection law you can ask what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Email webmaster@offtotheraces.co.uk. If you’re unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Changes
If this notice changes
If we add anything that changes how we handle data, such as analytics or a newsletter, we’ll update this page first and change the date at the top.
