6. Lawful bases
Depending on the situation, Prematcher may rely on:
Contract To create accounts, provide requested website features, manage PRO Member access, process subscriptions, provide support and handle cancellation/refund requests.
Legal obligation To keep records required for tax, accounting, consumer-law, dispute, payment, security and legal reasons.
Legitimate interests To secure the website, prevent abuse, maintain service records, improve the service, respond to requests, protect Prematcher’s rights, investigate faults and manage business operations.
Consent For optional marketing emails, newsletter emails, non-essential cookies and analytics where consent is required.
7. Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe.
Prematcher does not collect or store full card numbers or card security codes on its own servers.
Stripe may process your payment details, store your payment method and process recurring subscription payments under Stripe’s own terms and privacy notice.
Prematcher may store limited Stripe-related records needed to provide subscription access and support.
8. Cookies and analytics
Prematcher uses cookies and similar technologies as explained in the Cookie Policy.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used for login, security, account access, subscription access, cookie choices and payment flow support.
Google Analytics is currently used on Prematcher public pages to understand website performance and usage. It may collect page views, approximate location, device/browser information, referral source and interaction information. Analytics data is used to improve Prematcher and understand which public football pages, match data and news content are useful.
9. Marketing and newsletter emails
Prematcher may send newsletter or marketing emails only where you have opted in or where otherwise lawfully permitted.
You can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe link in marketing emails, where available, or by contacting support@prematcher.com.
Essential service emails, such as account, security, subscription, trial, payment or cancellation messages, are not marketing emails and may still be sent where needed to provide the service.
10. Sharing personal data
Prematcher may share limited personal data with trusted service providers where necessary, including:
- hosting providers;
- payment providers, including Stripe;
- email and newsletter providers;
- analytics providers, including Google Analytics where enabled;
- security, anti-spam or technical providers where used;
- professional advisers, such as accountants, legal advisers or technical advisers;
- public authorities, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where legally required.
Prematcher does not sell personal data to advertisers.
Prematcher does not currently use advertising cookies, affiliate tracking or bookmaker affiliate links.
11. International transfers
Some providers may process personal data outside the UK.
Where this happens, Prematcher will seek to use appropriate safeguards where required, such as UK adequacy regulations, approved contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
12. Retention
Prematcher keeps personal data only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention may depend on the type of data and the reason it is held. For example:
- account data is normally kept while your account exists;
- deleted account data is removed or anonymised from active systems where reasonably possible;
- subscription, invoice, payment and refund records may be kept for legal, tax, accounting and dispute reasons;
- support messages may be kept for customer-service, legal, dispute and audit reasons;
- security, server and error logs may be kept for security, fraud-prevention, troubleshooting and service protection;
- newsletter records may be kept until you unsubscribe and for a limited suppression record so you are not accidentally re-added;
- backups may retain data temporarily until overwritten or deleted through the backup cycle.
Prematcher keeps retention periods under review and documents specific retention periods as the service develops.
13. Account deletion
You may delete your account through your account area where available.
Deletion removes or anonymises active account data where reasonably possible, but limited records may be retained where needed for legal, tax, accounting, payment, refund, fraud-prevention, security, backup, dispute or legitimate business reasons.
14. Your rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights to:
- access your personal data;
- correct inaccurate data;
- delete data;
- restrict processing;
- object to processing;
- request data portability;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- complain to a data protection authority.

Prematcher may need to verify your identity before responding.
15. Complaints
If you have a privacy complaint, contact support@prematcher.com first so Prematcher can investigate.
You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
16. Security
Prematcher uses reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, such as password hashing, access controls, secure sessions and limiting access to data where appropriate.
No online service can guarantee absolute security.
17. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Prematcher may update this Privacy Policy when the website, account features, subscription features, providers, cookies, analytics, legal requirements or data practices change.
