This information helps us secure and operate our platform.
- Communication Data: Records of your communications with us, including emails, live chat transcripts, and phone calls. This assists us in providing customer service and resolving issues.

- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, specifically to provide our betting services and manage your account.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which DBET is subject, such as anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, fraud prevention, and licensing requirements.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by DBET or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include improving our services, preventing fraud, securing our network and information, and direct marketing (where permitted).
- Consent: In certain situations, we may rely on your explicit consent for processing your personal data, particularly for sending marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
DBET will not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted third parties under specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards:
- Service Providers: We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, customer service platforms, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by DBET.
- Regulatory and Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information to government bodies, regulatory authorities, or law enforcement agencies when required by law, to comply with our licensing obligations, or to respond to valid legal requests.
- Fraud Prevention and Security: We may share data with organisations involved in fraud prevention, anti-money laundering, and responsible gambling initiatives to protect our services and our users.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
- Affiliated Companies: We may share data with other companies within the DBET group for operational and service improvement purposes.
We ensure that any third parties with whom we share your data adhere to strict data protection standards.
Data Security
DBET takes the security of your personal information very seriously. We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data during transmission.

- Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
- Employee Training: All DBET employees receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices.
While we protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to enhance our protective measures.
