Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

FootballBetslip.com ("we", "us", "our") is the data controller for personal data collected through this website. We are a sports betting information and comparison website, not a bookmaker or gambling operator.

If you have questions about how we handle your personal data or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 12 of this policy.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect a minimal amount of personal data in line with the principle of data minimisation. The data we collect falls into two categories:

2.1 Data Collected Automatically (Analytics)

When you visit FootballBetslip.com, our analytics provider automatically collects certain technical data to help us understand how the website is used. This may include:

• Your IP address (anonymised where technically possible);
• Browser type, version, and language;
• Operating system and device type;
• The referring URL (the page you arrived from);
• Pages visited on this website and time spent on each;
• Date and time of your visit;
• Geographic location at country or city level (derived from anonymised IP).

This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual users unless there is a specific legitimate reason (for example, investigating a security incident).

2.2 Data You Provide Voluntarily (Contact)

If you contact us via our contact form or by email, we collect the information you provide, which may include:

• Your name;
• Your email address;
• The subject and content of your message.

We do not collect any special category data (such as health information, financial account data, or information about racial or ethnic origin) and we request that you do not send us such information.

3. How We Collect Personal Data

We collect personal data through the following means:

• Cookies and similar technologies — small text files stored on your device that enable our analytics provider to collect technical usage data (see Section 6 for full cookie details).
• Contact forms — when you complete and submit a contact or enquiry form on the website.
• Direct email correspondence — when you email us directly.

We do not purchase data from third-party data brokers or acquire personal data from any source other than those listed above.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we are required to have a lawful basis for processing personal data. The legal bases we rely on are:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — for analytics data collected to understand website usage and improve our service. We have carried out a legitimate interests assessment and determined that our use of analytics data does not override the rights and interests of our users, given the aggregated and anonymised nature of the data collected.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for non-essential cookies (see Section 6). You can withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie settings.
• Performance of a contract / pre-contractual steps (Article 6(1)(b)) — for data you provide when contacting us with an enquiry that requires a response.

5. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• Website analytics — to understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most popular, where users arrive from, and how we can improve the user experience.
• Responding to enquiries — to reply to messages submitted via our contact form or by email.
• Security and fraud prevention — to detect, investigate, and prevent malicious or fraudulent activity on our website.
• Legal compliance — to comply with applicable legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not use your personal data to serve targeted advertising. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party.

6. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies:

6.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent preference and cookies required for security purposes. No personal data beyond a session identifier is stored in strictly necessary cookies.

6.2 Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies (provided by a third-party analytics service) to collect aggregated information about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us measure page views, session durations, traffic sources, and popular content. The data is used solely to improve the website and is not shared with third parties for advertising purposes.

Analytics cookies are non-essential; you can opt out of analytics tracking at any time through our cookie preference centre, accessible via the cookie banner displayed on your first visit.

6.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience across visits (for example, remembering which FAQ category you last viewed). These cookies do not track your browsing across other websites.

Managing Cookies

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. For information on how to manage cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.

7. Third-Party Tools and Processors

We use a small number of third-party services that may process personal data on our behalf as data processors. These include:

• Web hosting provider — our website is hosted on infrastructure provided by a third-party hosting service. Server logs may contain IP addresses and other technical data as a standard function of web hosting.
• Analytics provider — we use a third-party analytics tool to collect aggregated website usage statistics. We have configured this tool to anonymise IP addresses and minimise data collection where possible.
• Affiliate networks — when you click an affiliate link, the destination platform (BetHeroSports, Leans.ai, or SportsBotAI) will place their own cookies and collect data according to their own privacy policies. We have no control over data collected by these third parties after you leave our website.

All third-party processors we use are required to process data only on our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection law. Where these processors are located outside the UK/EEA, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law:

• Analytics data — retained in aggregated form for up to 26 months, after which it is deleted or further anonymised.
• Contact form submissions and email correspondence — retained for up to 24 months from the date of last correspondence, unless you request earlier deletion or we are required to retain the data for legal purposes.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a data subject under UK GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 12.

• Right of access — you have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification — you have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — you have the right to request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to restriction of processing — you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability — where we process your data by automated means on the basis of your consent or a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object — you have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent (for example, non-essential cookies), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

We will respond to any request within one month of receipt. If we are unable to comply with your request, we will explain why. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have mishandled your personal data.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data to a standard equivalent to the protections afforded under UK law. Safeguards include the use of UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or equivalent mechanisms.

11. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our website;
• Access controls limiting access to personal data to authorised personnel only;
• Regular review of our data security practices;
• Use of data processors who maintain appropriate security standards.

While we take data security seriously, no transmission of data over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
