We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds, as required by GDPR:

• Performance of a Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (e.g., your VOdds user agreement) or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., anti-money laundering regulations, age verification).
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include preventing fraud, ensuring network and information security, and improving our services.
• Consent: Where you have given explicit consent for us to process your personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g., for marketing communications). You may withdraw your consent at any time.

We may share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, identity verification services, IT and hosting providers, and customer support platforms. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes for which it was shared.
• Regulatory Bodies and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information to regulatory authorities, governmental bodies, or law enforcement agencies when required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
• Fraud Prevention Agencies: To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share your data with organisations dedicated to these purposes.
• Affiliates and Business Partners: With our affiliated companies or business partners, for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy, such as offering integrated services or promotions, where you have consented.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

We will never sell your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

VOdds takes the security of your personal data very seriously. We implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: Using SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission to protect your data during transfer.
• Access Controls: Implementing strict access controls to limit who can access your personal information.
• Firewalls: Employing firewalls and other network security technologies.
• Regular Audits: Conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
• Employee Training: Ensuring our employees are trained on data protection and security best practices.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

VOdds uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyse website usage, and for marketing purposes. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of our website, enabling core functionalities like secure login and transaction processing.
• Analytical/Performance Cookies: Allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve how our website works.
• Functionality Cookies: Used to recognise you when you return to our website, enabling us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

We will retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This typically means we will keep your data for the duration of your active VOdds account and for a further period as required by our regulatory obligations (e.g., five years after account closure for anti-money laundering purposes).

When we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This may occur if our servers, service providers, or other third parties involved in our operations are located in such countries. When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection, such as relying on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or ensuring the recipient is certified under a recognised data transfer framework.

VOdds is strictly for individuals aged 18 or over (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, contact us immediately.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
