3. How we use your data and our legal bases

  • To provide your account and services (registration, login, saved data, reviews) — necessary to perform our contract with you.

  • Transactional emails (account confirmation, password resets, security and service notices) — necessary to perform our contract with you.

  • Newsletter — we add registered users to our newsletter, relying on our legitimate interest in sending you relevant updates about our own services [or: your consent given at signup]. You can unsubscribe at any time.

  • Push notifications — only with your consent, which you give through your browser.

  • Showing country-relevant content and complying with gambling advertising rules — our legitimate interests and legal obligations.

  • Security, fraud prevention and moderating reviews — our legitimate interest in keeping the Website safe and trustworthy.

  • Analytics and improving the Website — our legitimate interests, or your consent where cookies require it.

  • Complying with the law — legal obligation.

4. Newsletter and marketing emails

When you register, you are subscribed to the SmartOdds.win newsletter, which may include betting insights, operator news and bonus offers. You can unsubscribe at any time from your profile page on smartodds.win, or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter. Unsubscribing does not stop transactional emails about your account.

5. Push notifications

We run our own in-house push notification system. If you choose to subscribe in your browser, we store a browser subscription token so we can send you news, alerts and marketing notifications. We only send push notifications after you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time by blocking notifications for smartodds.win in your browser settings.

6. Reviews and public information

Reviews and ratings you post are public and are shown with your nickname. Please do not include personal information you don't want others to see. We may keep and display published reviews after you close your account, in anonymised form.

7. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) to:

  • keep you logged in and remember your preferences (language, currency, odds format);

  • save data in our tools on your device (for example, bankroll tracker data saved locally when you are not logged in);

  • understand how the Website is used and measure the performance of operator links;

Essential cookies are needed for the Website to work. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change your choices at any time via the browser cookie removal and rejecting non-essential cookies o next website load.

8. Affiliate links

When you click a link to a third-party operator, we may pass on a referral code so the operator knows you came from us. The operator may set its own cookies and will process your data under its own privacy policy. Please read the operator's privacy policy before signing up.

9. Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:

  • service providers who help us run the Website, such as hosting, email delivery and analytics providers Hetzner / Sendpulse, bound by contracts to protect your data and use it only on our instructions;

  • professional advisers such as lawyers and accountants;

  • authorities, where required by law or to protect our rights, users or the public;

  • a buyer or successor, if our business or the Website is sold or restructured.

10. International transfers

Our service providers may process your data outside your country, including outside the EU/UK. Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
