Betcenter stores information that is collected by cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or by third parties support in order to create player profiles. A profile contains recorded information on individual players with exact indications of preferences concerning downloaded content. Logically, this information is related to the players personal and identifiable data and used to provide offers and improvements in website content to the benefit of all players. Profiles are used to design each player s experience on the Betcenter website individually and to provide specific marketing information.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data saved on the player s computer and linked to specific user information. The use of cookies is not related with any personally identifiable information while players visit our site. Betcenter uses session ID cookies as well as persistent cookies. Session ID cookies will be deleted once the player closes the browser. A persistent cookie represents a small text file saved on the player s hard drive for an extended period of time.
Most internet browsers accept cookies on a standard basis. Players may deactivate the use of cookies in their security settings.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
Some of our marketing partners use a software technology called clear gifs (also known as Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that helps us to manage content on our site better by indicating the effectiveness of specific content. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier. They are similar in function to cookies and used to track the online movements of web users. The main difference between a cookie and a clear gif lies in the fact that clear gifs are visible on the page. Clear gifs are not linked to players personally identifiable information. Together with cookies, clear gifs may be utilized to identify previous online behaviour of a specific computer s user.

In order to complete players identity verification, player data may be matched against the databases of the international identity intelligence providers.
Upon any indication of transactions and/or activities that may raise suspicions of criminal activities, Betcenter will report to the relevant parties in charge (e.g. Belgian Gaming Commission, police, sporting associations, private associations aiming at the prevention of criminal and fraudulent activities in sports betting).
Furthermore, Betcenter reserves the right to record telephone calls with players and forward recordings to law enforcement agencies if there is precise evidence of criminal offences.

Insofar as Betcenter may make use of external providers in order to carry out and administer data processing services, the contractual arrangements will comprehend and strictly comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
Betcenter s commitment to the protection of personal data notwithstanding, the company reserves the right to publish gaming data (e.g. achieved results), the player s first name and the initial of the surname on the Betcenter website as long as the player remains, directly and indirectly, unidentifiable.

7. Saved Data

Whenever a player closes his Betcenter account, the personal data saved in the system will remain stored for a period of usually five years, commencing from the date of the closure, in compliance with the applicable regulations.

8. Data Security

All data will be processed in an automated manner.

Betcenter takes all adequate precautions in order to protect players data. In particular payment information will always be encrypted when data is being processed.
Whereas sensitive information is protected online by SSL encryption, Betcenter makes any reasonable effort to ensure the protection of players data in all other areas, too.
Only authorized employees of Betcenter, or employees of third parties contractually bound to compliance with the principles of data protection, have access to players information.
Betcenter monitors the trustworthiness and reliability of all its employees.

At regular intervals, all involved employees are given training on the applicable security and data protection standards. All involved employees are also informed about their legal obligations, either annually or upon current changes. The significance of regulations concerning data protection and the importance of everybody s personal contribution is at the centre of all training programmes. All relevant servers are located in a secure environment.

Data Encryption
In order to protect players personal data during communication with the web browser, Betcenter uses encryption technology of its certification partner. In addition, online transactions are shielded by the security system of a worldwide-accredited partner.

Other Technical Security Measures
With the aim of preventing illegal manipulation by third parties, the computer s IP address will be requested and saved when the player logs in. In addition, all player data is protected from unauthorized access by firewall and intrusion prevention systems.
