2. Soccerbase Email Marketing
Soccerbase Scout may also provide opportunities to subscribe to Soccerbase email communications, including through forms, pop-ups, free guides and other resources.
The Soccerbase marketing database is operated separately by Spotlight Sports Group Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 03387163 and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration number Z2636371.
Where you provide your details for Soccerbase email marketing, Spotlight Sports Group Limited is responsible for that marketing data in accordance with the applicable Soccerbase Privacy Policy.
Soccerbase marketing communications may include football analysis, betting tips, updates, information about Soccerbase products and services, and bookmaker offers where you have provided the appropriate permission.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
3. Information Advantage Sports May Collect
If you purchase or use a paid Soccerbase Scout membership, we may process information including:
- your name;
- email address;
- membership type;
- membership status;
- subscription and renewal information;
- transaction identifiers;
- payment status;
- cancellation information;
- communications with us;
- information required to provide membership access; and
- technical or account information necessary to operate and protect the service.
Payment card information is processed through our payment provider and we do not ordinarily need to receive or store your complete payment card details.
4. How We Use Membership Information
We use personal information where necessary to:
- establish your Soccerbase Scout membership;
- provide access to paid content;
- administer your subscription;
- process and reconcile payments;
- manage renewals and cancellations;
- provide customer support;
- communicate important service information;
- protect the service against misuse and fraud;
- maintain appropriate business and accounting records; and
- comply with legal obligations.
5. Our Lawful Bases
We process personal information under one or more lawful bases under UK data protection law.
Contract
Most membership information is processed because it is necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you.
This includes establishing your membership, providing access, administering payments and managing cancellation.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
These may include operating and protecting Soccerbase Scout, preventing misuse or fraud, improving our services and managing our business.
Legal Obligation
We may retain or process information where necessary to meet legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Consent
Where processing requires your consent, we will ask for it appropriately. You may withdraw consent at any time.
6. MyMembers
We use MyMembers in connection with the administration and management of Soccerbase Scout memberships.
Information required to establish and manage your membership may therefore be processed using MyMembers.
7. Stripe
We use Stripe to process payments.
Stripe may collect payment and associated information directly from you.
We may receive information from Stripe such as payment status, customer or transaction identifiers and other information necessary to administer your membership.
Complete payment card details are not ordinarily stored by Advantage Sports Limited.
8. Sharing With Spotlight Sports Group
Soccerbase and Soccerbase Scout operate in connection with arrangements involving Advantage Sports Limited and Spotlight Sports Group Limited.
Where necessary and lawful, limited personal information may be shared between the companies for purposes such as operating the Soccerbase services, customer support, administration, fraud prevention, reporting and resolving customer enquiries.
Where Spotlight independently determines the purposes for which personal information is used, it will be responsible for that processing under applicable data protection law.
In particular, the wider Soccerbase email marketing database is controlled by Spotlight Sports Group Limited as described above.
9. Other Service Providers
We may use third-party providers for services including:
- website hosting and infrastructure;
- membership administration;
- payment processing;
- analytics and technology;
- security and fraud prevention;
- accounting and professional services; and
- customer support.
Where another organisation processes information on our behalf, appropriate data-protection arrangements will be put in place.
10. International Transfers
Some service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK and the destination is not covered by an applicable adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by law.
These may include contractual protections approved or recognised under UK data protection law.
11. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting, tax and regulatory requirements.
Membership information may therefore be retained for an appropriate period after your membership ends.
Transaction and accounting information may need to be retained for longer periods where required by law.
Information will be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required.
12. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.
We also take appropriate steps when selecting service providers that process personal information on our behalf.
13. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have rights including:
- the right to access your personal information;
- the right to correct inaccurate information;
- the right to request deletion;
- the right to restrict certain processing;
- the right to data portability;
- the right to object to certain processing; and
- the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Some rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions.
14. Exercising Your Rights
To exercise your rights in relation to your Soccerbase Scout membership data, contact:
If your request concerns the wider Soccerbase email marketing database, it may be handled by Spotlight Sports Group Limited as the controller of that information.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
15. Complaints
If you have concerns about our processing of your personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
16. Age Restriction
Soccerbase Scout’s betting-related services are intended only for people aged 18 and over.
We do not knowingly seek to collect children’s personal information in connection with paid betting services.
17. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, suppliers, business arrangements or legal requirements.
The latest version will be published on Soccerbase Scout with an updated revision date.
