We process your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis. The legal bases we rely on include:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (e.g., creating your account, processing your bets).
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation to which VOdds is subject (e.g., anti-money laundering laws, responsible gambling regulations).
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests. This includes improving our services, preventing fraud, securing networks and information, and direct marketing where permitted by law.
  • Consent: Where you have given your explicit consent for us to process your personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g., for certain marketing communications). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal data with third parties under specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards. These include:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, identity verification services, and customer support platforms. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by VOdds.
  • Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies: We may disclose your information to regulatory authorities, licensing bodies, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental organisations if required by law, court order, or to assist in investigations of suspected illegal activities.
  • Fraud Prevention Agencies: To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share information with organisations involved in fraud prevention and identity verification.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will ensure appropriate confidentiality and security measures are in place.
  • Affiliates: We may share data with our affiliated companies for internal administrative purposes and to provide you with integrated services.
  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with other third parties when you have given us your explicit consent.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Data Security

VOdds protects your personal data. We implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
  • Firewalls: Our systems are protected by firewalls to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
  • Employee Training: Our staff receive regular training on data protection and security best practices.
  • Anonymisation/Pseudonymisation: Where appropriate, we anonymise or pseudonymise data to reduce the risk of identification.

While we protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously enhance our security measures.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the type of data, the purpose of processing, and any legal or regulatory obligations.

Typically, we retain customer account data for a period after account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations, fraud prevention, and other legal obligations set by our licensing authority. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

International Data Transfers

As VOdds is an online platform, your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as your home country. When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

These safeguards may include using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities, relying on the recipient's adherence to approved certification mechanisms, or ensuring the transfer is to a country deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.

Children's Privacy

VOdds services are not for individuals under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction, which is typically 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, contact us.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and, where appropriate, by email.
