Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how personal data is collected and used when you visit or interact with the Tip Sport page and other content available on the taipsport.com website. It applies to website visitors, prospective customers, affiliate partners, and other individuals whose data we process in connection with this website, including visitors from the United Kingdom and other countries. By using taipsport.com you acknowledge that you have read this policy, which is effective from 1 January 2026 and may be updated as described below.
Who We Are
For the purposes of applicable data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018), the data controller for personal data collected through taipsport.com, including the Tip Sport page, is the operator of the taipsport.com website (referred to in this policy as "we", "us" or "our"). This policy governs only the informational and marketing activities carried out via taipsport.com and does not in itself create or imply a licence to offer gambling services in the United Kingdom.
The Tip Sport brand is associated with TIPSORT.NET a.s., a joint-stock company incorporated in the Czech Republic and licensed by the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic under licence number MF-4019/2016/38, as listed on the Czech Ministry of Finance whitelist. That licence relates to operations in the Czech Republic and does not constitute a UK Gambling Commission ("UKGC") licence. According to the UKGC public register, a historical licence with reference 43029 linked to "Tipsport" has been surrendered and there is no active UKGC licence as of May 2025. As a result, Tip Sport branded services are not offered as UK-licensed gambling products, and UK visitors should understand that UKGC protections do not apply.
Based on the information currently available, the operator of taipsport.com acts as an independent online publisher and marketing partner that provides information about the Tip Sport brand and related markets. The specific registered office address, company registration number and tax identification number of the website operator are not specified in the data available to this policy and will be published on taipsport.com as soon as they are finalised or updated. Where we refer to "Tip Sport" or "Tip Sport branded services" in this policy, this is always in the context of the informational content provided on taipsport.com and not as an offer of UK-licensed gambling.
We take privacy governance seriously and designate an internal data protection contact responsible for overseeing compliance with this policy and applicable data protection laws. You can raise privacy-related questions or requests using the contact options published on https://taipsport.com. Where a specific data protection officer (DPO) email address or phone number is published on taipsport.com in the future, those details will be deemed the primary contact points for privacy matters and will replace or supplement the generic contact channels referred to in this policy.
What Personal Data We Collect
We collect only the personal data that is necessary for clearly defined purposes related to operating taipsport.com, providing information about Tip Sport, maintaining the Tip Sport page, and complying with legal obligations. Depending on how you interact with us, we may process the following categories of data:
- Identification and contact data: your name, username or nickname, email address, telephone number, country of residence, preferred language and any other contact details you provide when subscribing to newsletters, requesting information, participating in surveys or contacting us through forms or other channels made available on taipsport.com.
- Technical and device data: IP address, approximate location derived from IP, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, referral URL, pages visited, time and duration of visits, clickstream data, and event logs generated by our servers and security systems. This data is typically collected automatically via log files and cookies or similar technologies.
- Usage and behavioural data: information about how you interact with our pages, such as which links you click, which articles you read, your navigation paths on the Tip Sport page, and aggregated statistics about engagement with particular promotions or informational blocks. Where available, this may include anonymised or pseudonymised analytics data.
- Marketing and communication data: your preferences in receiving email newsletters or promotional communications, records of whether you have opted in or opted out of marketing, and logs of any consent you give through our consent tools (for example, cookie banners or subscription tick-boxes).
- Payment and transaction-related data (if applicable): taipsport.com is primarily an informational and affiliate site and does not typically process payments directly from UK users. If at any point we offer paid services (such as premium content, subscriptions or paid advertising services), we may process limited billing data (such as payment method, transaction identifiers and billing address) through trusted payment providers, but not full payment card details, which remain with the payment provider.
- Affiliate and referral data: anonymised or pseudonymised identifiers relating to referrals, affiliate links and promotional campaigns, such as click IDs, campaign IDs or partner codes that indicate how you arrived at the taipsport.com website or that you clicked a link leading to a third-party betting operator.
- Regulatory and compliance data: in rare cases where we need to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement in the UK, the Czech Republic or other jurisdictions (for example, in connection with suspected fraud or misuse of our site), we may receive or generate files containing information related to such investigations, including correspondence and evidence.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small text files placed on your device, web beacons, pixels, local storage, SDKs and other trackers used for functional, analytical and advertising purposes. These may collect information such as IP address, unique cookie identifiers, device identifiers, browsing behaviour and preferences. More detail is provided in the Cookies & Tracking Technologies section below.
Where we collect data that is not personally identifiable (for example, fully anonymised statistics), we do not treat that as personal data for the purposes of this policy. However, where data can reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual, we handle it as personal data and protect it accordingly.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data on taipsport.com, including the Tip Sport page, only when we have a valid legal basis under UK GDPR and, where relevant, EU GDPR and comparable laws. Depending on the processing activity, one or more of the following legal grounds will apply:
- Consent: We rely on your explicit consent for certain types of processing that go beyond what is strictly necessary to operate the site. This includes:
- sending promotional email newsletters or marketing communications about Tip Sport-related content or partner offers;
- using non-essential cookies and similar technologies for analytics, personalisation or advertising (for example, third-party advertising cookies or remarketing tags);
- any other processing for which we expressly ask you to consent through a check-box, toggle or banner on taipsport.com.
- Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request: We process data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. This may include:
- providing you with requested information, resources or tools available through taipsport.com;
- managing user accounts or subscriptions if these are offered;
- providing customer support and communicating with you about your use of the website or any services you request from us.
- Compliance with legal obligations: In certain circumstances we are required by law to process personal data, including:
- complying with data protection, accounting, tax and record-keeping obligations in the UK and other applicable jurisdictions;
- cooperating with competent authorities such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the Czech Ministry of Finance, or other regulators and law enforcement agencies in line with relevant laws, including anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing rules where these apply to our activities;
- complying with orders, subpoenas, court judgments or regulatory requests.
- Legitimate interests: We process certain data where necessary for our legitimate interests and where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include:
- operating, securing and improving taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page;
- detecting and preventing fraud, abusive behaviour, unauthorised access or technical threats;
- measuring the effectiveness of our content, affiliate links and marketing campaigns in a privacy-conscious manner;
- maintaining business records, analytics and internal reporting;
- protecting our rights, property and interests and those of our users, partners and the public.
Purpose of Processing
We use personal data collected through taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page for clearly defined purposes that are consistent with the legal bases described above. In particular, we process your data for the following purposes:
- Providing and operating the website: to make taipsport.com available, display content correctly on your device, maintain the Tip Sport page, ensure network and information security, manage hosting infrastructure and fix technical issues.
- Informational and comparison services: to present news, guides, reviews and comparative information about Tip Sport and other betting or gaming brands, including information about regulatory status in different jurisdictions (for example, the absence of a current UKGC licence for Tip Sport), and to tailor how content is displayed based on your device and language settings.
- Customer support and communication: to respond to your enquiries, provide clarifications about how your data is handled, inform you about changes to our policies, and handle any issues or disputes relating to the use of our website.
- Marketing and newsletters (where permitted): to send you email newsletters or other electronic communications about content, promotions or partner offers related to Tip Sport or comparable brands, where you have consented to receive such communications, and to manage your subscription preferences.
- Analytics and service improvement: to measure how visitors use taipsport.com, including which parts of the Tip Sport page are most or least popular, to understand how users arrive on our site (for example, from search engines, sports sponsorship links or affiliates), and to improve site design, content and user experience based on aggregated and, where possible, anonymised data.
- Fraud prevention and security: to monitor for suspicious activities, automated bots, misuse of affiliate links, attempts to circumvent geo-fencing, or other behaviour that may breach our terms or applicable law, and to protect the integrity of our systems and partners.
- Compliance and risk management: to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, respond to lawful requests from authorities in the UK, Czech Republic, EU or other relevant jurisdictions, manage legal claims, and maintain records that support accountability under data protection laws.
- Other purposes with notice and consent: where we intend to use data for a purpose not compatible with the original purpose of collection, we will provide clear prior notice and, where required, seek your consent.
Disclosure & Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share personal data collected through taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page with carefully selected recipients where this is necessary for the purposes described in this policy, in accordance with applicable law and with appropriate safeguards in place.
- Service providers (processors): We engage trusted third parties to provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting, content delivery networks, security services (for example, DDoS protection and web application firewalls), analytics providers, email service providers, customer support tools and IT maintenance. These providers act as data processors, may only process data in accordance with our instructions and must implement appropriate security measures.
- Tip Sport related entities and partners: In connection with our informational and affiliate activities, we may share limited data (such as aggregated analytics, campaign performance data or pseudonymised identifiers) with Tip Sport related entities, including TIPSORT.NET a.s., and with selected marketing partners. This sharing is generally carried out on an aggregated or pseudonymised basis and is designed to avoid direct identification of individual users wherever possible.
- Affiliate networks and advertising partners: When we use affiliate links, tracking pixels or advertising tags, certain usage data (for example, click events, browser information, truncated IP address or pseudonymised identifiers) may be shared with the relevant affiliate networks and advertising partners to measure conversions, attribute commissions and optimise campaigns. Where required by law, we obtain your consent for these tracking technologies through our cookie banner or consent management tools.
- Regulators and public authorities: We may disclose personal data where required to comply with applicable laws or lawful requests, including to:
- the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and other UK authorities;
- the Czech Ministry of Finance or other regulatory bodies in jurisdictions where Tip Sport is licensed or monitored;
- law enforcement agencies, courts and other public authorities in the UK, EU, Mexico or other relevant jurisdictions.
- Professional advisers: We may share data with lawyers, auditors, consultants or other professional advisers where necessary to protect our rights, obtain advice, manage disputes or conduct audits, and these recipients are typically bound by professional secrecy and/or confidentiality obligations.
- Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of assets relating to taipsport.com, personal data may be transferred to the relevant third party as part of the transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards and, where required, with notice to affected individuals.
In all cases, we limit the data shared to what is strictly necessary, and where we engage processors or partners we seek to ensure they provide at least an equivalent level of protection to that required by UK GDPR and other applicable laws.
International Transfers
Because taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page serve visitors from multiple countries and rely on third-party service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom, including countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home jurisdiction.
- EEA and associated jurisdictions: Some of our processing takes place in EEA member states, particularly the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where Tip Sport has an established presence. Data protection in these countries is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR"), which is deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the UK government.
- Other third countries: Certain service providers (for example, cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery or security vendors) may process data in countries such as the United States or other non-EEA jurisdictions. Where this involves a transfer of personal data from the UK or EEA to a third country that is not subject to an adequacy decision, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as:
- standard contractual clauses ("SCCs") approved by the European Commission and/or the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement ("IDTA") or Addendum;
- technical and organisational measures designed to enhance the security of the data (for example, encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and data minimisation);
- careful assessment of the laws and practices of the destination country, where required.
- UK - US and EU - US data transfer frameworks: Where relevant service providers participate in recognised data transfer frameworks (for example, the EU - US Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension to that framework), we may rely on such participation in combination with other safeguards as permitted by applicable law.
Further details of the safeguards used for international transfers can be provided upon request, subject to redaction of commercially sensitive information or provisions that are not intended for public disclosure.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, and to resolve disputes or enforce our rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the context of processing, but we apply the following general principles:
- Website logs and technical data: standard server logs and security logs are usually kept for a short period (typically up to 12 - 24 months) to ensure the security and integrity of taipsport.com, to investigate incidents and to maintain system performance. Aggregated and anonymised statistics may be retained for longer.
- Contact and communication data: information you provide when contacting us (such as emails, contact form submissions or customer support records) is generally retained for up to 5 years after the last meaningful interaction, to allow us to respond to follow-up enquiries, defend against legal claims and demonstrate compliance.
- Marketing data: subscription records and preference information related to newsletters or marketing communications are retained for as long as you remain subscribed and for a reasonable period afterwards (typically up to 2 years) to evidence consent and manage suppression lists. If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending you marketing messages and keep only minimal data required to respect your opt-out.
- Affiliate and analytics data: pseudonymised identifiers and analytics data used to measure campaign performance are generally retained in identifiable form for no longer than 24 months, after which they are either deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
- Compliance and dispute-related data: where data is part of legal, regulatory or dispute files, we retain it for the duration necessary to manage the matter and for the applicable statutory limitation periods (which may be up to 6 - 10 years under UK or Czech law, depending on the nature of the claim), unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
When retention periods expire, or when personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we either securely delete or anonymise the data so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual. If you request deletion of your data, we will assess whether we can honour the request in full or in part, taking into account any overriding legal obligations to retain certain records, and we will inform you of the outcome.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, including where relevant the EU GDPR and Mexican privacy legislation, you have a range of rights in relation to your personal data processed via taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page. These rights are subject to certain conditions and exceptions but generally include:
- Right of access: to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of that data along with information about the purposes, categories of data, recipients, retention periods and your related rights.
- Right to rectification: to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data, taking into account the purposes of processing.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): to request deletion of your personal data where, for example, it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you withdraw consent (where consent was the sole legal basis), or you successfully object to processing. We may need to retain certain data where required by law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing: to request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify its accuracy, or where you have objected to processing and we are considering whether our legitimate interests override your rights.
- Right to object: to object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling on that basis. We will stop such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing is required for legal claims. You also have an unconditional right to object to direct marketing, including profiling for marketing purposes.
- Right to data portability: where processing is based on consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you may request to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies or marketing communications), you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal, but we will stop the relevant processing going forward.
- Rights under Mexican privacy law (where applicable): if you are in Mexico or otherwise benefit from Mexican privacy legislation, you may have ARCO rights (Acceso, Rectificación, Cancelación y Oposición) under the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties. These rights broadly correspond to access, rectification, cancellation (erasure) and objection, and we will seek to respect them alongside the rights described above, to the extent they apply to our processing.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the channels indicated on https://taipsport.com and clearly describe your request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, particularly where sensitive or large volumes of data are involved. We aim to respond within one month (30 days) of receiving a valid request. In complex or numerous cases, we may extend this period by up to two further months; if we do so, we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
We generally do not charge a fee for handling your rights requests. However, where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example, because of its repetitive nature), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, in line with applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, as described in the Complaints & Contacts section.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Like most modern websites, taipsport.com and the Tip Sport page use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, provide essential functionality, gather statistics and, where permitted, support advertising and affiliate activities. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website.
- Types of cookies we use:
- Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used, for example, to remember your selections during a single visit and to support basic site functionality.
- Persistent cookies: cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. They may be used to remember your language preferences, cookie choices or login status (if applicable), and to compile aggregated statistics about site usage.
- First-party cookies: cookies set directly by taipsport.com to support core site functions, security and analytics.
- Third-party cookies: cookies set by domains other than taipsport.com, such as analytics providers, advertising networks or affiliate tracking platforms, which help us measure traffic, attribute referrals and, where permitted, deliver or measure targeted advertising.
- Purposes of cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to function properly, for example to route traffic between servers, prevent abuse, or remember consent settings. These cannot be switched off via our cookie tools, although you may configure your browser to block them, which may affect site functionality.
- Functional cookies: used to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and to enhance your experience of the site.
- Analytics cookies: used to collect aggregated information about how visitors use taipsport.com, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay and which links are clicked. This helps us improve the design, content and performance of the site.
- Advertising and affiliate cookies: used to record that you have visited the Tip Sport page or clicked a link to a partner site, so that we can measure the performance of our affiliate campaigns and, where applicable, ensure that the correct commission is attributed to us.
- Managing cookies: On your first visit, and periodically thereafter, you may be presented with a cookie banner or consent tool that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time via any cookie settings panel provided on taipsport.com, or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may impact your experience of the site or limit certain functionalities.
For more detailed information about the specific cookies and similar technologies we use, including their names, providers and retention periods, we may maintain a dedicated cookie notice or cookie list accessible from the footer or header of taipsport.com.
Data Security
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we strive to adopt security practices that are aligned with industry standards and proportionate to the risks presented by our processing.
- Technical measures: We use encryption technologies such as TLS 1.2 or higher to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers. Where feasible, we also encrypt data at rest, apply network segmentation and use firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems and other safeguards to reduce exposure to attacks.
- Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who need the information for legitimate business purposes. We apply role-based access control, strong authentication (including multi-factor authentication where appropriate), logging of access events and periodic review of user privileges.
- Secure development and testing: We aim to follow secure development practices, including regular updates and patching of software components, code reviews for security-sensitive features, and the use of test environments that do not contain live personal data.
- Third-party security: When we engage service providers to process data on our behalf, we require them to implement appropriate security measures and, where relevant, to adhere to recognised standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2. We assess their security practices as part of our vendor due diligence and contract management processes.
- Training and awareness: Personnel involved in handling personal data receive training and guidance on data protection, information security and incident reporting procedures, appropriate to their roles and responsibilities.
- Incident response: We maintain procedures for detecting, assessing and responding to suspected personal data breaches. In the event of a breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals in accordance with applicable law, including the UK GDPR and, where relevant, EU GDPR or other national legislation.
Despite these measures, the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to or from taipsport.com. You are responsible for using appropriate security measures on your own devices and for keeping any credentials or confidential information associated with your interactions with us secure.

- Right to complain to a supervisory authority (UK and EU): If you are not satisfied with our response, or if you prefer not to contact us first, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which can be contacted via https://ico.org.uk. If your data is processed in connection with activities in the European Union (for example, in relation to operations in the Czech Republic or Slovakia), you may also complain to the relevant EU supervisory authority, such as the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů) in the Czech Republic, accessible via https://www.uoou.cz.

We will seek to cooperate with INAI and any other competent authority in line with applicable law.
We value the trust you place in us when visiting taipsport.com and will take all reasonable steps to address and resolve any privacy concerns in a fair and transparent manner.
Updates
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our processing activities, legal requirements, or technical and organisational measures. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the end of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
- Minor changes: For non-material updates (for example, clarifications, formatting improvements or updates to contact links), we may simply publish the revised policy on taipsport.com without additional notification, although the new version will apply from the date it is posted.
- Material changes: Where we make significant changes to how we process personal data, to the purposes of processing, or to your rights and choices, we will provide more prominent notice. This may include email notifications to registered users (where we have their contact details), notices within user dashboards (if available), or banners or pop-ups displayed on the Tip Sport page and other relevant sections of taipsport.com.
- Advance notice: Where required by law or where the change significantly affects your rights or expectations, we will provide reasonable advance notice (typically at least 30 days before the change takes effect) and will explain your options, which may include objecting to certain processing, updating your preferences, or discontinuing use of the site.
- Version control: We may keep previous versions of this policy for accountability purposes. You can request access to earlier versions by contacting us using the details provided on taipsport.com, to the extent that retaining and sharing such versions is compatible with our legal obligations and internal policies.
