4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Before You Bet may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website and understand how it is used.
A cookie is a small data file stored on your browser or device. Cookies may allow websites and service providers to recognise a browser or device and remember certain information.
Cookies and similar technologies used in connection with Before You Bet may support:
- Essential Website functionality;
- Security and fraud prevention;
- Website preferences;
- Traffic and audience measurement;
- Analytics;
- Advertising measurement; and
- Affiliate referral and conversion tracking.
Some cookies may be set by Before You Bet and others may be set by third-party services used on the Website.
Most web browsers allow you to block, restrict or delete cookies through browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Website.
5. Analytics and Website Data
Before You Bet may use analytics and website performance services to understand Website traffic and how visitors interact with our content.
These services may collect information such as IP address, device and browser information, referring source, pages visited, interactions and the approximate location of a visitor.
We use this information to understand our audience, measure content performance, identify technical problems and improve the Website.
Analytics information may be aggregated or de-identified so that it does not directly identify individual visitors.
6. Affiliate and Advertising Tracking
Before You Bet is a commercial website and has relationships with wagering operators and other advertisers.
Some links on the Website are affiliate or tracking links. When you click one of these links, information may be recorded to identify that the referral originated from Before You Bet.
How affiliate tracking works
Affiliate tracking commonly uses a link identifier, cookie or similar technology so that a third-party operator can attribute a referral or qualifying action to Before You Bet.
Before You Bet does not receive access to your wagering account password, betting account balance or individual wagering activity merely because you use an affiliate link on our Website.
Third-party wagering operators and advertising partners may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies once you visit their websites or use their services.
7. Email and Communications
If you subscribe to a Before You Bet newsletter or other marketing communication, we may use the contact details you provide to send that communication.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe facility contained in the communication, where available, or by contacting us.
We may still send non-marketing communications where reasonably necessary, such as responses to an enquiry you have made.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We may disclose or make information available to third parties where reasonably necessary to operate Before You Bet or conduct our business.
These may include providers of:

- Content delivery and website security;
- Analytics and performance measurement;
- Email and newsletter services;
- Advertising and affiliate tracking;
- Technical support and website development;
- Data storage and business software; and

We may also disclose information where you have consented to the disclosure, where required or authorised by law, or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or the security of the Website.
9. Overseas Service Providers
Some third-party technology, hosting, analytics, email, advertising or other service providers used by Before You Bet may store or process information outside Australia.
The countries involved may vary depending on the providers and infrastructure used from time to time. In particular, some global technology providers may process or store information in the United States and other countries in which they or their service providers operate.
Where Australian privacy laws apply to an overseas disclosure, we will take reasonable steps required by those laws in relation to that disclosure.
10. Sensitive Information
Before You Bet does not ordinarily seek to collect sensitive information.
Sensitive information has a particular meaning under Australian privacy law and can include information about matters such as health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal records and certain professional or association memberships.
If we collect sensitive information, we will handle it in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including obtaining consent where required.
11. Security and Storage
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Information may be stored using our own systems or systems operated by third-party technology and service providers.
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate business requirements, or as required by applicable law.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy it or de-identify it where required by applicable Australian privacy laws.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it is held.

We may need to verify your identity before providing access to personal information or making certain changes.
We do not charge a fee simply for making an access request. Where permitted by law, reasonable costs associated with providing access may apply in particular circumstances, and we will advise you beforehand if this is relevant.
