Privacy Policy – Anpan Man
Last updated: January 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Anpan Man (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses and protects your personal data when you visit anpanman.space. We respect your privacy and follow the rules of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and French data protection law. By using our website, you accept the practices described in this notice.

1. Who we are

Anpan Man is an information website about sports betting in France. We:

  • publish guides and reviews about licensed bookmakers
  • show rankings, comparisons and useful tips
  • share messages about responsible gaming and 18+ only play

We are not a betting operator and you cannot place bets on anpanman.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 information you include when you contact us

You are not forced to give us this information, but some features may not be available without it (for example, answering your request).

2.2 Information collected automatically

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

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type and operating system
  • pages viewed, clicks, and time spent on the site
  • referring page and 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 for the following purposes:

  • to operate and maintain anpanman.space
  • to provide comparison and information services about sports betting sites in France
  • to check that you are over 18 years old, when age verification is necessary
  • to answer your questions and manage your requests
  • to improve the structure, content and security of the website
  • to send you news, updates or marketing messages (only if you have clearly agreed to receive them)
  • to 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)
  • with trusted partners involved in our activities (for example, legal betting operators in France) but only when necessary and in line with data protection rules
  • to meet legal obligations, such as responding to a court order or 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

Anpan Man uses cookies and similar tools on anpanman.space. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use them to make the site work properly and securely, remember some of your choices, measure traffic and understand how visitors use the site, and improve our pages and user experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; others (for example, analytics cookies) are used only with your consent, if required by law. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and learn more on our Cookies Policy page.

6. How we protect your data

We take security seriously and put in place reasonable technical and organisational measures to help protect your personal data, such as:

  • using SSL/TLS encryption to secure data in transit between your browser and our servers
  • limiting access to personal data to authorised people only
  • using strong passwords and security controls for our systems
  • regularly monitoring our tools for suspicious activity or potential vulnerabilities
  • raising staff awareness about privacy and data protection requirements

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights under GDPR

As a data subject under the GDPR, you have several rights regarding your personal data. You can:

  • access your personal data and ask us what information we hold about you
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete data
  • request deletion of your data, when legally possible
  • restrict processing in certain situations
  • 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 in section 12. We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling your request 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

As a rule, we aim to process your data within the European Union / European Economic Area (EU/EEA). If, in some cases, data is transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA, we will make sure that either the country has been recognised as offering an adequate level of protection by the European Commission, or suitable safeguards are in place (for example, standard contractual clauses and additional security measures). You can contact us for more information about such transfers and the safeguards used, if applicable.

10. Minors

Anpan Man and the content on anpanman.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.
