Privacy Policy – Topranked

Last updated: January 2025

1. Who we are

Topranked is an information website about sports betting in France. We publish guides and reviews about licensed bookmakers, show rankings, comparisons and useful tips, and share messages about responsible gaming and 18+ only play. We are not a betting operator and you cannot place bets on topranked.space.

2. Data we collect

We only collect information that we need to run the site, improve our services, and meet legal obligations.

2.1 Information you give us directly

Depending on how you use the site, you may choose to share:

  • first and last name
  • email address
  • phone number
  • date of birth (for age checks, if needed)
  • any other details you include when you contact us

You are not forced to give us this information, but some features may not be available without it.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you browse topranked.space, some data is collected automatically, for example:

  • IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system
  • pages viewed, clicks, time spent on the site, referring page
  • approximate location data (if this can be derived from your IP and if allowed by your settings)

This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve performance and content.

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data to:

  • operate and maintain topranked.space
  • provide comparison and information services about sports betting sites in France
  • check that you are over 18 when age verification is necessary
  • answer your questions and manage your requests
  • improve the structure, content and security of the website
  • send you news or marketing messages (only if you clearly agreed to receive them)
  • comply with legal duties or respond to requests from authorities, when required by law

We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that have legal or similar significant effects on you without human involvement.

4. When we share your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only in limited situations:

  • with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, analytics, security tools, email delivery) under strict contracts
  • with trusted partners involved in our activities when necessary and in line with data protection rules
  • to meet legal obligations or respond to a request from a competent authority
  • to protect our rights, safety and that of others, for example in case of fraud, security incident or misuse of the site
  • with your clear consent, when you have agreed to a specific sharing of information

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Topranked uses cookies and similar tools on topranked.space to make the site work properly, remember some of your choices, measure traffic, and improve user experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; others (such as analytics cookies) are used only with your consent, if required by law. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and you can read more in our dedicated Cookies Policy.

6. How we protect your data

We take security seriously and put in place reasonable technical and organisational measures such as SSL/TLS encryption, limiting access to authorised people only, using strong passwords and security controls, monitoring our tools for suspicious activity, and raising staff awareness about privacy. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we do our best to protect your data.

7. Your rights under GDPR

As a data subject under the GDPR, you can:

  • access your personal data
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • request deletion of your data when legally possible
  • restrict processing in certain situations (for example, while we check accuracy)
  • object to some processing, especially for direct marketing
  • request data portability when technically possible and when processing is based on consent or contract

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity and we aim to answer within the time limits set by law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés).

8. How long we keep your data

We keep your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law. As a general rule:

  • data related to enquiries and support: kept as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards
  • account or profile data (if we offer such features): kept up to 3 years after the last activity or contact, unless the law requires a different period
  • technical logs and browsing data used for analytics: kept for a maximum of 13 months
  • marketing contact data: kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it

When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised.

9. International transfers

We aim to process your data within the EU/EEA. If, in some cases, data is transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA, we will make sure that the country has been recognised as offering an adequate level of protection or that suitable safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses and additional security measures) are in place.

10. Minors

Topranked and the content on topranked.space are intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If we discover that we have collected information about a minor, we will delete it as soon as possible. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if our services change, the law or regulatory guidance is updated, or we introduce new tools or features that affect your privacy. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and encourage you to review this page regularly.
