This privacy notice explains how betano-de.com.de — an independent information and review portal — collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit this site. Betano itself is a separate operator running its own platform; this notice covers only what happens on our own portal, not what the operator collects once you register or play there.
How this site remembers you
We are betano-de.com.de, an independent affiliate portal headquartered in the UK. When you browse our pages, we collect a small amount of technical information to keep the site running and to understand which content performs well. The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) — we need basic analytics to improve the service, and you can opt out at any time through your browser settings.
The analytics question
We use Google Analytics to count visits, track page views and measure how readers move through the site. This creates aggregated, anonymised reports — we see that 1,200 people read the responsible-gambling page last week, not who any one of them was. Google sets its own cookies for this purpose; you can read Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com. Analytics cookies require your consent under UK law, and you can withdraw that consent by clearing your cookies or switching off third-party tracking in your browser.
If you fill in a contact form, we collect whatever you choose to type — typically your name, email address and your question. We use that data solely to reply to your message, and we delete it within 90 days unless you've asked us to keep the conversation going. The lawful basis here is consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) — you gave us the information in order to hear back from us.
Scripts we do not control
This site embeds content from third parties — YouTube videos explaining game mechanics, social-share buttons, advertising scripts that fund the editorial work. Each of those services may set its own cookies and collect data under its own privacy policy. We do not receive personally identifiable information from those scripts, but they do track your activity across sites for targeting purposes. You can block them using browser extensions such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, though some embedded content may stop working if you do.
| Third party | Purpose | Opt-out |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Site usage statistics | Browser settings / tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout |
| Advertising networks | Targeted ads | youronlinechoices.com |
| YouTube | Embedded video | Cookie settings at youtube.com |
Your options
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct it if it is wrong, to request deletion (the "right to be forgotten"), to restrict how we process it, to receive a portable copy in a common format, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time — doing so does not affect the lawfulness of any processing we carried out before you withdrew.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
Sharing with third parties
We do not sell your personal data. We share technical information with our hosting provider (for server operation), our analytics provider (Google, as explained above), and advertising partners (who receive aggregated, anonymised reports only). If you click an affiliate link and register with the operator, that operator collects your data under its own privacy policy — we have no access to your account details, deposits, bets or withdrawals. The boundary is clear: once you leave this portal, the operator's terms apply.
Revisions
We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in the law or in how we operate the site. When we do, we will post the new version here and update the date below. Significant changes — anything that materially affects your rights — will be flagged at the top of the homepage for 14 days. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Retention
Analytics data is retained for 26 months, then automatically deleted by Google. Contact-form submissions are kept for 90 days, then purged from our mail server unless an ongoing conversation requires us to keep the thread. Server logs (IP address, browser type, timestamp) are overwritten after seven days. We hold no payment information — that sits with the operator, not with us.
Protection of minors
This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it immediately. Consider using parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio to restrict access to gambling-related content on shared devices.
Contact
Questions about this privacy notice, or a request to exercise your rights, should be sent to [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
