Betahoy Privacy Policy
This document sets out how Betahoy collects, processes, protects, discloses, and ultimately destroys personal data belonging to its users. All data handling is conducted on a lawful basis, with user consent forming a central pillar of that process. Betahoy is committed to responsible data stewardship in full accordance with applicable United Kingdom law. The information gathered is used solely for the purposes described within this policy, and users retain clear rights over their own data at every stage.
Privacy and Data Protection
Betahoy collects personal data from users during account registration, ongoing use of the platform, and through interactions with its services. This collection is carried out transparently and only to the extent necessary to deliver a functional, compliant, and accountable service.
Categories of Personal Data Collected
- Full name and date of birth;
- Contact details, including email address and telephone number;
- Residential address and proof of identity documents;
- Financial information, including payment method details;
- Device and usage data gathered through technical means.
Purpose of Collection
Data is collected to verify identity, process transactions, fulfil regulatory obligations, and maintain the integrity of the platform. No data is gathered beyond what is required for these stated purposes.
Technical and Organisational Measures
Betahoy applies appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These measures are reviewed and updated on a regular basis in line with industry standards and legal requirements.
User Rights Under United Kingdom Law
In accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, users hold the following rights:
- The right to access personal data held about them;
- The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- The right to request deletion of personal data where no legitimate grounds for retention exist;
- The right to restrict or object to certain types of processing;
- The right to data portability in applicable circumstances.
Requests relating to any of the above rights may be submitted through the contact channels provided on the Betahoy platform.
How Collected Information Is Used
Personal data collected by Betahoy is used exclusively for lawful, specified, and transparent purposes. The following outlines the principal ways in which information is processed:
- Account management: to create, maintain, and administer user accounts across the platform;
- Transaction processing: to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and the settlement of bets or game outcomes;
- Service improvement: to analyse platform performance and identify areas for development;
- Marketing communications: to send relevant promotional content where the user has provided explicit consent to receive such communications;
- Analytics: to understand usage patterns, preferences, and behaviour in aggregate form;
- Regulatory compliance: to fulfil obligations imposed by the UK Gambling Commission, HM Revenue and Customs, and other applicable regulatory bodies.
All processing is conducted on a lawful basis as defined under the UK GDPR. Users are informed of the purposes for which their data is used at the point of collection and may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis for processing.
Accessing and Managing Personal Information
Users have the right to access the personal data held about them at any time. Requests may be submitted through the designated support channels available on the Betahoy platform, and a response will be provided within the timeframes stipulated under applicable UK law.
Correction of Data
If a user believes that any personal data held is inaccurate or out of date, a correction request may be submitted. Betahoy will review and, where appropriate, update the relevant records without undue delay.
Deletion of Data
Users may request the deletion of their personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where consent has been withdrawn and no other lawful basis for retention exists. Requests will be assessed on an individual basis in line with legal retention obligations.
Consent to Security and Payment Processing
By registering and using the Betahoy platform, users acknowledge and consent to the performance of identity verification checks and security screenings as required by law. Users further consent to the processing of payment data by authorised third-party payment service providers engaged to facilitate financial transactions on the platform.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
Betahoy is an online gambling platform and is strictly intended for individuals aged 18 years and over. Access to the platform by persons under the age of 18 is prohibited in accordance with UK law and the terms of the platform’s operating licence.
Betahoy does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. However, the platform acknowledges that it is not always possible to verify a user’s age without the submission of appropriate identity documentation.
Where a parent or legal guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal data to Betahoy, a formal request for deletion of that data may be made through the platform’s designated contact channels. Upon verification of the request, all relevant data pertaining to the minor will be removed without undue delay.
International Transfers of Personal Data
In the course of providing its services, Betahoy may transfer personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom where third-party partners, service providers, or affiliated entities operate. Such transfers may occur where necessary to process transactions, fulfil contractual obligations, or comply with regulatory requirements.
By registering and using the Betahoy platform, users acknowledge and consent to the transfer of their personal data to recipients located in jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of data protection as the United Kingdom.
Betahoy ensures that all third parties to whom personal data is transferred are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and data protection standards, commensurate with those required under applicable UK law. Where required, suitable transfer mechanisms are applied to safeguard user data throughout any international transfer.
