Welcome to vbprofiles.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://www.vbprofiles.com.
We are an independent editorial publisher and affiliate website focused on providing reviews, comparisons, and guides related to online sportsbooks and betting sites for a US audience. We do not operate any gambling services ourselves. This policy applies to information we collect through the Site.
We collect limited information to operate and improve our Site:
Browsing & Device Data: When you visit, we automatically collect certain information about your device and browsing actions. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages you view on our Site, links you click, and the dates/times of your visits.
Information from Cookies and Trackers: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect the data above and to track your interactions with affiliate links (e.g., to attribute a commission if you sign up with a sportsbook we featured).
Information You Voluntarily Provide: If you choose to contact us via email or a contact form, we collect your email address and the contents of your message.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., government IDs, financial account numbers, health data) through the Site.
We use the information we collect for various business purposes:
To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and your user experience.
To analyze how the Site is used (e.g., which pages are popular) and to monitor for security and prevent fraud or abuse.
To attribute affiliate commissions when you use our links to visit partner sportsbooks.
To personalize or cap the frequency of advertisements you see.
To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
To comply with legal obligations.
Cookies are small data files placed on your device. We and our third-party partners use them for essential site functions, analytics, advertising, and affiliate tracking.
Your Choices: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” / Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising: We do not sell personal information for money. Under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended), sharing browsing data with ad partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share.” You can opt-out of this sharing for targeted advertising.
You can submit an opt-out request by emailing us at [email protected] with “Opt-Out” in the subject line.
You can also use browser-based opt-out signals like the Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where supported, we will process GPC signals as a request to opt-out of sale/share.
Affiliate Tracking: When you click a link to a sportsbook or betting operator, a tracking code (like a click ID) is added to the URL. This allows the operator to know you came from our Site, which is necessary for us to receive a potential commission. This does not provide them with your personal information unless you choose to share it when signing up on their site.
We work with third-party service providers for essential operations:
Analytics: We use services like Google Analytics to understand Site traffic. They use cookies and may collect your IP address and browsing data.
Advertising: We use advertising networks to display ads. These partners use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to our Site or others.
Affiliate Networks: We participate in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link to a partner (e.g., BetUS, BetOnline), the partner network uses cookies/tracking codes to attribute the visit to us. We may receive compensation if you sign up or place a bet through that link.
We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: With vendors who help us run the Site (e.g., hosting providers, analytics providers, anti-fraud services).
Advertising & Affiliate Partners: As described in the “Cookies & Tracking” and “Advertising” sections above.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves or others.
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or acquisition of all or part of our business.
We do not “sell” personal information for monetary consideration. We may “share” personal information (like browsing data) with advertising partners for targeted advertising, which constitutes a “sale/share” under some state laws.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:
California (CPRA): You have the right to know/access, delete, correct, and opt-out of the sale/share of your personal information. You also have the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information, though we do not collect such information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Utah (UCPA): You have the right to access, delete, and correct your personal information (where applicable). You also have the right to opt-out of targeted advertising and, in some states, profiling. You may have the right to appeal a decision regarding your request.
How to Exercise Your Rights: To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] . We will need to verify your identity before processing your request, which may require you to provide additional information. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
Appeals: If we deny your request, we will explain why. You may appeal the denial by contacting us at the same email with “Appeal” in the subject line.
We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy (e.g., analytics data is typically retained for 24 months, server logs for 12 months).
We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Site is intended for adults aged 21 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. If you are under 21, please do not use our Site or submit any information to us. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 21, we will delete it promptly.
Our Site contains links to external third-party websites, primarily online sportsbooks and betting operators. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the effective date of the most recent version. We will post any changes on this page. Your continued use of the Site after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
