This privacy policy explains how Betfair Bets collects and uses information when you visit betfair-bets.com. We are an independent Australian guide about the Betfair brand, not the wagering operator. The policy covers visitors who read articles or email us. By using the site, you accept these practices. We may update this page when technology or legal requirements change; check the footer date for the latest revision.
Information We Collect
Most browsing on Betfair Bets is anonymous from our perspective. Our servers and hosting partners may automatically record technical details common to websites: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate timestamps and error logs. This data helps maintain security, diagnose outages and understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use it to identify individual punters unless combined with information you voluntarily supply.
If you email [email protected], we receive your message, address and attachments. Do not send login credentials, card numbers or government ID — we cannot action operator accounts. Cookie details are covered below.
How We Use Your Information
We use data to run the site, block abuse, fix errors, measure popular pages and reply to editorial mail. We do not send marketing unless you opt in. Analytics show aggregate trends, not individual betting profiles. Hosting and analytics vendors process data only to support the website.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Betfair Bets may use essential cookies required for basic functionality and security, as well as analytics cookies that help us understand visitor counts and navigation paths. Some third-party scripts embedded for performance or measurement may set their own cookies subject to their policies.
You can block or delete cookies in browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect measurement features but article reading should still work.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with hosting, email or security vendors under confidentiality terms, or when law requires disclosure. External links to betfair.com.au, regulators or charities follow their own policies.
Retention and Security
Server logs are kept for a limited period to troubleshoot errors and block abuse, then deleted or anonymised. Email correspondence is retained only while an enquiry is open or where a short legal record is required. We use access controls, HTTPS where available and routine software updates, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. Avoid sending sensitive details from shared or public computers.
Your Rights and Choices
Under Australian privacy law you may request access, correction or deletion of data we hold. Email [email protected] with subject "Privacy request" and enough detail to verify your identity without oversharing. You may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you believe we handled your information improperly. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Questions about this privacy policy or our data practices may be directed to [email protected]. For account, payment or self-exclusion matters relating to Betfair itself, contact the operator through official betfair.com.au support channels instead.
