Effective date: January 28, 2017
Operated by: Bet Smart Sports, LLC
1. Introduction
Bet Smart Sports, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates Bet Machine at betmachine.ai. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We've written this in plain English — no legalese wall.
By using Bet Machine, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect

When you create an account or contact us, we may collect:
- Email address

When you use the site, we automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- IP address

This data is collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage your account

4. Analytics and Tracking
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Bet Machine. Google Analytics collects information such as pages viewed, session duration, approximate geographic location, and device type. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. Google may use the data it collects for its own purposes in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Future Advertising and Ad Tracking
We intend to implement additional analytics and advertising tracking technologies in the future, which may include:
- Remarketing and retargeting pixels (e.g., Google Ads, Meta Pixel)
- Conversion tracking for affiliate and paid campaigns
- Third-party ad network tracking
When these technologies are implemented, we will update this policy and add a cookie consent banner to this site, giving you the ability to manage your tracking preferences before any advertising-related cookies are set. Until that point, only Google Analytics is active.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and collect information about usage.
We currently use the following types of cookies:
| Type | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site and account features to work | Session cookies, auth tokens |
| Analytics | Understand site usage and improve the experience | Google Analytics |
Future addition: Advertising/targeting cookies will be added when ad tracking is implemented. A consent banner will allow you to accept or reject non-essential cookies at that time.
You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site.
6. Data Sharing
We share information with third parties only as needed to operate the Service:
- Stripe — payment processing. Stripe has its own privacy policy and PCI compliance standards.
- Google — analytics (see Section 4).
- Supabase — database and authentication infrastructure.
- Vercel — website hosting and delivery.
- Legal and compliance — we may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Bet Smart Sports, LLC or others.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
7. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information from our active systems within a reasonable time, subject to legal or regulatory retention requirements.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
