Privacy Policy – Betano
This privacy policy explains how Betano collects, uses and protects your personal information when you visit our site at betano-offiziell.com.de. We are committed to safeguarding your data in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who controls your data
The data controller for this portal is Betano, operating at betano-offiziell.com.de. We determine how and why your personal information is processed. For questions about your data, contact us at [email protected].
What information we collect
We collect several categories of data when you use our site:
- Technical data – your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers and time stamps.
- Usage data – pages viewed, time spent on each section, links clicked and navigation patterns.
- Form submissions – name, email address and message content when you contact us through our contact page.
- Cookie data – preferences and identifiers set by cookies, as detailed in our cookie policy.
We do not collect payment information, identity documents or account credentials – those belong to the operator and are processed under their own terms.
Why we process your data
Your information helps us run the portal and improve what we offer. We use it to respond to your enquiries, analyse site traffic, identify technical issues and personalise content where you have given consent. Analytics data shows us which sections readers find useful and which need work.
Our lawful basis
Under UK GDPR, every use of personal data needs a legal basis. Ours are:
- Legitimate interests – we process technical and usage data to keep the site secure, fix errors and understand how readers navigate our content. This does not override your rights.
- Consent – analytics and advertising cookies are set only after you accept them through our banner.
- Contractual necessity – responding to your contact-form message is part of the service you requested.
Who else sees your information
We share data with trusted third parties who help us operate the site:
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Hosting provider | Stores site files and processes requests |
| Analytics services | Aggregates usage patterns (anonymised where possible) |
| Advertising platforms | Delivers targeted ads based on consent |
These processors act on our instructions and are contractually bound to protect your data. We never sell your information to third parties, and we do not transfer it outside the UK or EEA without appropriate safeguards.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have control over your personal data. You can:
- Access – request a copy of everything we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Erasure – request deletion of your data where we have no ongoing lawful reason to keep it.
- Restriction – limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
- Portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Object – refuse processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent – revoke permission for cookies or analytics at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
How to exercise your rights
Email [email protected] with your request, stating which right you wish to exercise and enough detail for us to identify you. We respond within one month and never charge a fee unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If our response does not satisfy you, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection supervisory authority. Visit ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
Protecting children
Our portal is for adults aged 18 and over (18+). We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information through our contact form, notify us immediately at [email protected] and we will delete it without delay.
How long we keep your data
Technical and usage data is retained for up to 26 months, then anonymised or deleted. Contact-form submissions are kept for 12 months after the last reply, unless ongoing correspondence requires a longer period. Cookie data expires according to the retention periods set out in our cookie policy.
Security measures
We protect your information through HTTPS encryption, access controls and regular security audits. No system is entirely immune to risk, but we take every reasonable step to prevent unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
Changes to this policy
We review this privacy policy periodically and update it when our practices or legal obligations change. The date at the bottom of this page shows the last revision. Significant changes are highlighted on the homepage for 30 days after publication.
Contact us
For questions about this privacy policy, your data rights or anything else related to how we handle your information, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours on working days.
