SportsbooksTrader ("we", "our", "us") operates sportsbookstrader.com, an independent comparison website for sportsbooks, crypto platforms, trading services and prediction markets. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support@sportsbookstrader.com or through our contact page.
1. Information We Collect
- Information you give us: your name, email address and (optional) WhatsApp number when you subscribe to our newsletter ("The Edge"), submit the contact form, request expert help through our chatbot, or download gated guides. Providing a WhatsApp number is always optional.
- Chat context: if you request personal follow-up from inside our AI chatbot, we store the lead together with the page you were on so our team can respond usefully.
- Usage data: pages visited, referring site, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, collected through standard analytics.
- Cookies and local storage: small files used to remember preferences (for example, a dismissed notice), keep chat sessions working, and measure site performance.
- Affiliate referral data: if you click an affiliate link, we (via third-party partners) may track the referral and any resulting commission. We never store your payment or credit-card details.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To send the newsletter you subscribed to, with an unsubscribe link in every email.
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the WhatsApp follow-up you requested.
- To operate and improve the site, our tools and our AI chatbot.
- To understand which content is useful, via aggregated analytics.
- To track affiliate link clicks and commissions in compliance with disclosure rules.
- To meet legal obligations, including age-related restrictions on our content.
Every lead we store is tagged with the page it came from, which tells us the topic you were interested in. We use this only to make our follow-up relevant.
3. What We Never Do
- We never sell your personal information.
- We never share your email or WhatsApp number with the platforms we review, affiliate networks or any other third party for their marketing.
- We never send WhatsApp messages unless you explicitly gave your number for that purpose.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies, pixels and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality and user experience, analyze site usage and performance, and measure the effectiveness of affiliate links and advertising. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time, but doing so may affect site performance.
5. Affiliate Links and Third Parties
Our site contains affiliate links to third-party operators. Clicking one takes you to that operator's website, where their own privacy policy applies. The affiliate tracking involved uses standard referral parameters and does not transmit your name, email or phone number. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any platform before creating an account. See our Advertiser Disclosure for how these partnerships work.
We use a small number of service providers to run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, AI API for the chatbot). They process data only on our instructions and cannot use it for their own purposes.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. We may share data only with:
- Service providers who assist us in operating the site, analytics or email delivery, under contract and on our instructions.
- Legal requirements — if required by law, regulation or a valid government request.
7. Data Retention
Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact and lead data is kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable follow-up period, after which it is deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form.
8. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect stored data, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls and minimal data collection by design. No internet transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we collect as little as possible so there is little to lose.
9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (including under GDPR in the EU/EEA and CCPA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export the personal data we hold about you, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email support@sportsbookstrader.com. We respond to all verified requests within 30 days.
10. Age Restrictions and Children
This site is intended for adults only: 21+ in most US states, 18+ elsewhere. It is not directed toward children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU), and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be flagged on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
