Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Betnices (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles personal data when you visit betnices.com. We aim to collect as little data as possible and to be clear about the third-party services that may process data on our behalf.

This policy is written for readers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, but it applies to all visitors. It should be read alongside our terms and conditions and disclaimer.

Who is responsible for your data

Betnices is the controller for personal data collected through this website. You can contact us about privacy matters at [email protected].

What data we collect

We may collect the following categories of data:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited.
• Usage data: information about how you interact with our pages, such as time on page and clicks.
• Communication data: the content of messages you send us by email, including your name and email address.
• Cookie data: information stored by cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

We do not intentionally collect special category data (such as health data) and we do not ask for gambling account credentials.

Why we use your data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

• To provide the website: delivering pages, maintaining security, and diagnosing technical problems.
• To improve our content: understanding which guides are useful and where readers encounter problems.
• To respond to enquiries: answering correction requests, privacy requests, and other messages.
• To measure advertising performance: where advertising is enabled, understanding aggregate performance and preventing fraud.
• To comply with legal obligations: keeping records where required and responding to lawful requests.

Legal bases

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: operating and improving the website, maintaining security, and responding to enquiries.
• Consent: where required for analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or other non-essential tracking. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation: where we must process data to comply with the law.
• Contract: where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for:

• Essential functionality: remembering preferences and keeping the site secure.
• Analytics: understanding aggregate traffic and behaviour. We currently use Microsoft Clarity.
• Advertising: if Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads.
• Social sharing: third-party sharing tools may set cookies when you use their buttons.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through a consent banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

Google AdSense

If advertising is enabled, Google may use the DoubleClick cookie or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn about Google’s advertising cookies and opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. We do not control the data practices of Google or its partners. Please review Google’s privacy policy for more information.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site. Clarity may collect information such as pages viewed, clicks, and session recordings, with sensitive information masked where possible. You can learn more in Microsoft’s privacy statement.

ShareThis

Some pages include ShareThis sharing buttons. ShareThis may set cookies and collect information about your use of the sharing tools. See ShareThis’s privacy policy for details.

Disqus

Some pages may include Disqus comments. If you use the comments, Disqus may collect information about your account and activity. See Disqus’s privacy policy.

Third-party links

Our pages link to operator websites and other third parties. Once you leave Betnices, their privacy policies apply. We encourage you to read them before providing personal data or creating an account.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We may share data with:

• Service providers that help us host, analyse, or secure the website, subject to appropriate safeguards.
• Advertising partners where advertising is enabled, as described above.
• Professional advisers where necessary to protect our legal rights.
• Authorities where required by law or to prevent fraud or harm.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, where required by law.

Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and maintain records, and is then deleted or anonymised unless we need to keep it for a legal reason.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Request restriction of processing.
• Request portability of data you provided to us.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise a right, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children

Betnices is intended for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No website can guarantee absolute security, so please avoid sending sensitive information by email.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The effective date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the site where appropriate.
