Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The data controller for this website is:

[OPERATOR NAME]
[OPERATOR POSTAL ADDRESS — Cyprus]
Contact: privacy@predictorhq.com
Operator details: Imprint

Questions about your personal data, exercising your GDPR or CCPA rights, or making a complaint can be sent to the address above.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to operate this website and understand how visitors use it.

a. Server logs

Our hosting provider records standard server log data for every request: IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp, and the URL requested. These logs are retained for up to 14 days for security and debugging, then deleted. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) — operating a website securely.

b. Analytics via Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate visitor behaviour: which pages are popular, what devices people use, roughly where traffic comes from. GA4 does not use third-party cookies and does not track individual users across the web. We enable IP anonymisation.

Data processed by GA4 includes: anonymised IP, browser/device type, pages viewed, click events (including affiliate click events — see below). Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) where required. Analytics storage is set to 'denied' by default under Google Consent Mode v2, so GA4 stores no analytics cookies or identifiers until you accept via the cookie-consent banner shown on your first visit. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, opt out via your browser settings or a blocker extension, or email us to remove any session data.

c. Affiliate click tracking

When you click a link to an affiliate partner (e.g. Kalshi, Polymarket, PredictIt, Robinhood, Opinion Trade), we append UTM or referral parameters to the URL so the partner can attribute the referral to us. We do not see or store any subsequent data about your relationship with that partner — that is governed by the partner's own privacy policy.

d. Email correspondence

If you email us (editor@, hello@, privacy@, etc.), we retain your email for the purposes of replying and keeping a record of the correspondence. Retained until you request deletion. Legal basis: consent (you contacted us) and legitimate interest (record-keeping).

3. What We Do NOT Collect

• We do not use Facebook Pixel, X Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or equivalent ad-network trackers
• We do not sell or trade personal data to anyone
• We do not collect special-category data (health, political affiliation, religious beliefs, biometric)
• We do not profile users individually for marketing
• We do not set third-party advertising cookies

4. Cookies

The site uses minimal cookies:

• Essential cookies for language and display preferences (no consent required under EU law)
• Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) — see our Cookie Policy for the full table

You can reject analytics cookies in your browser settings or with a blocker extension. Rejecting cookies does not break any site functionality.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR

As an EU/EEA/UK resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15) — ask what data we hold about you
• Right to rectification (Art. 16) — ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure (Art. 17) — ask us to delete your data
• Right to restriction (Art. 18) — ask us to pause processing while a dispute is resolved
• Right to data portability (Art. 20) — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to object (Art. 21) — object to processing based on legitimate interest
• Right to withdraw consent — at any time, for any consent-based processing
• Right to lodge a complaint — with your national data protection authority or the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (Cyprus)

To exercise any right, email privacy@predictorhq.com. We respond within 30 days (usually within a week).

6. Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California residents)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do neither), and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. Requests: privacy@predictorhq.com.

7. Data Retention

• Server logs: 14 days
• Analytics data (GA4): 14 months (Google retention default)
• Email correspondence: until you request deletion

8. International Transfers

Our hosting provider operates servers that may be located in the EU/EEA and/or the United States. Google Analytics processes data in the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Where transfers occur, they are made under adequate safeguards (adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent).

9. Children

Our content is not directed at children under 18 (prediction market trading is a regulated financial activity with age restrictions that match the platforms we review). We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe we have done so, contact us and we will delete the data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when the law changes or our data practices change. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via a notice on the homepage.

11. Supervisory Authority

The competent supervisory authority for the operator (based in Cyprus) is:

Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (Cyprus)

If you live elsewhere in the EU, you may also contact your national data protection authority.
