This privacy policy explains how skybets-ie.com ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit this website. The site is an independent guide about Sky Bet for audiences in the Republic of Ireland. We are not Sky Bet or its parent company, and this policy applies only to data collected through this domain.
We take privacy seriously and aim to process personal information lawfully, fairly and transparently. If you have questions after reading this page, contact us at [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line.
What Data We Collect
When you browse our pages, we may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, referring URL and pages viewed. This data helps us understand how visitors use the site and whether content loads correctly on different devices.
If you email us, we collect the address you write from, the contents of your message and any details you choose to include. We do not ask you to create an account on this guide site, and we do not process Sky Bet login credentials or betting history through this domain.
We may also use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic and improve performance.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to operate the website, respond to support enquiries, fix technical issues and understand which articles are most useful to Irish readers. Aggregated analytics may show general trends without identifying individual visitors by name.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties for marketing lists. Service providers that assist with hosting, security or analytics process information on our instructions only. We retain emails for as long as needed to resolve your request, then delete or anonymise them when no longer necessary.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some are essential for basic site functions, such as load balancing or security. Others help us measure visitor numbers and see how people move between pages. You can control cookies through your browser settings: most browsers let you block, delete or limit non-essential cookies.
If you disable certain cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended. Where analytics tools are used, we aim to configure them with privacy-respecting defaults.
Sharing and International Transfers
We may share limited data with infrastructure partners that host the website, deliver content or provide security monitoring. These partners are bound by contractual obligations to protect information and use it only to deliver agreed services.
Your data may be processed outside Ireland or the EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect information during cross-border processing.
Your Rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation and Irish data protection law, you may have rights to access personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask for deletion in certain circumstances, restrict or object to specific processing and receive a portable copy of data you provided.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission in Ireland if you believe your rights have been infringed. We will respond to valid privacy requests within the timeframes required by law. To exercise your rights, email [email protected] and describe your request clearly.
Children, Security and Policy Updates
This website is intended for adults aged 18+ only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has contacted us, please let us know so we can remove the information promptly.
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, alteration or loss. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please avoid sending sensitive account passwords or payment card numbers by email.
We may update this policy when our practices or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
