What information do we collect?
Upon signing up with Oddscatcher.com, your details are held with ourselves. All information provided by you will be treated in strict confidence according to the terms and conditions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and associated legislation.
Disclosure of your information
In order to provide our products and services to you, we may need to appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf. These will include, for example, delivery organisations and mailing houses. In these circumstances, we will ensure that your information is properly protected and that it is only used in accordance with this policy
Cookies
In common with many other website operators, we may use standard technology called 'cookies' on this site. Cookies are small text files that store basic information that a website can use to track on-line traffic flows, recognise repeat Site visits and record information about your on-line preferences. Our cookies are used to enable us to develop our website to reflect our fans and customers interests and by noting who has seen which pages and advertisements, how frequently particular pages are visited and determining the most popular areas of our website. We may use cookies to enrich your experience of using the website by allowing us to tailor what you see to what we have learned about your preferences during your visits to the site. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent cookies being stored. Please note, if you do turn cookies off this will limit the service that we are able to provide to you and may affect your visitor experience.
Security of information
We take the security of your personal information seriously. When joining up with us, we use a third party payment company called BCH Ltd. They are a Payment Card Industry (PCI) approved service provider which means that they conform to the minimum standards determined by VISA and MasterCard and have their systems audited regularly by approved and independent organisations to ensure compliance. BCH Ltd are an industry-leader in this field. All online payments are fully secure. Firstly, when registering online for one of our services, your credit card details get encrypted using a Comodo SSL certificate before they are sent between your web browser and our website. Once we have received these details we immediately forward them - still in encrypted format - to BCH Ltd. Oddscatcher.com do not get access to credit card details from these online transactions, and your credit card information is never stored on our web servers.
Also, the majority of our transactions will now use 3-D Secure (also referred to as Verified By Visa and Mastercard SecureCode), which adds an extra layer of protection, and enables the user to enter some extra security details to verify their request is genuine.
In addition, we have security procedures in place to protect our databases from loss and misuse, and only allow access to them when it is absolutely necessary to do so, and then under strict guidelines as to what use may be made of the personal information contained within them.
Changes to our privacy policy
We aim to meet high standards and our policies and procedures are, therefore, constantly under review. From time to time we may change our security and privacy policies. Accordingly we recommend that you check this page periodically in order to review our current policies.
