Data Sharing and Disclosure
10Bet protects your personal information and will not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with trusted third parties under specific circumstances:
- Service Providers: We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, identity verification, IT support, data analysis, and marketing assistance. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose your information to regulatory bodies, licensing authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental organisations when required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

Data Security
10Bet implements robust technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use industry-standard encryption technologies, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to secure data transmission. Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it.
While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to also take steps to protect your account, such as using strong, unique passwords and not sharing your login details.

Data Retention
10Bet retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This typically means we will retain your data for the duration of your active account with 10Bet and for a further period as required by our licensing authority and applicable laws (e.g., anti-money laundering regulations often require data retention for five years after account closure).
After this period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised. In some cases, we may retain data for longer if there is an ongoing legal dispute or if required by a specific regulatory directive.
International Data Transfers
As 10Bet operates globally, your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside of your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that may not have the same level of data protection laws as your home jurisdiction. When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
These safeguards may include using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, implementing binding corporate rules, or relying on the recipient country's adequacy decision, where applicable. We ensure that any third parties with whom we share data comply with these safeguards.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for individuals under the legal gambling age in their respective jurisdiction, which is typically 18 years or older. 10Bet does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us immediately.
