What we collect

We collect: anonymized, aggregate website analytics via Google Analytics (pages visited, approximate location, device type); purchase information when you buy a digital product, processed by Stripe — we do not store payment card data ourselves.

What we do not collect

We do not collect: your name (unless you provide it voluntarily); financial data, account numbers, or transaction details; location data beyond country/region; browsing history outside this site; health or addiction-related data.

Why we collect it

Analytics: to understand which content is most useful and to improve the site. Google Analytics is used with standard anonymization settings.

Purchase data: to process and deliver digital product orders. Payments are handled by Stripe. After the Bet receives your email address from Stripe for order confirmation purposes only.

Third parties

We use: Stripe for payment processing (Stripe Privacy Policy); Google Analytics for anonymized site analytics (Google Privacy Policy); Cloudflare for hosting and security.

We do not sell data to any third party. We do not share data with gambling operators, advertisers, or data brokers under any circumstances.
