Privacy Policy

How PythiaBasketball handles your data. Last updated 23 October 2026.

Who we are

YP Analytics Ltd, registered at Profiti Iona 4, Livadia, Larnaca, Cyprus 7060, operates PythiaBasketball and is the data controller for the personal data described here. Contact: info@pythiabasketball.com.

What we collect

(a) Analytics data via cookies - only if you consent - such as pages viewed and approximate location, through Google Analytics; (b) if you create an account, your email address and your plan; (c) any details you choose to send us (e.g. by email).

Anonymous page counter

We also count page views with our own anonymous counter. For each view it records the date and hour, the page, the address of the referring website and whether the visit looks automated. For views that look human it also records the type of device (mobile, tablet or desktop), the country (looked up from your IP address, which is then discarded) and a visitor code that changes every day: a one-way scrambled value made from your IP address and browser type with a secret that changes daily and is never stored, so it only lets us count distinct visitors within one day and cannot be reversed or linked across days. Your IP address and browser details themselves are never stored, no cookie is set and nothing is stored on your device, so the counter holds no personal data and needs no consent. When you answer the cookie banner we also add one to a daily count of how often it was shown, accepted or declined, and nothing else.

Payments

Pro payments are processed by our payment provider, Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe directly; we never see or store them. We keep only what we need to know your plan is active.

Why we use it

To run your account, to understand how the site is used and improve it, and to respond to messages you send.

Legal basis

Performance of our contract with you for your account and subscription; consent for analytics and advertising cookies; legitimate interest for running and securing the site and replying to enquiries.

Cookies

See our Cookie Policy. Analytics cookies load only after you accept them; you can change your choice at any time.

Sharing

We use Google Analytics and Stripe as processors. We do not sell your personal data.

Advertising

We may display advertising on this site to keep it free to use. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. These cookies are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner.

Opting out of personalised advertising

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time. Use the cookie banner on this site to withdraw consent, visit Google Ads Settings to control Google's personalisation, or aboutads.info and Your Online Choices to opt out of participating third-party vendors. Declining does not remove ads; it means they are no longer personalised.

International transfers

Some providers may process data outside your country under appropriate safeguards.

Retention

We keep account data while your account is open and delete it when you ask us to close it (billing records are kept as long as tax law requires); analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes above.

Your rights

Subject to law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your data, and object to processing. If you have an account you can download your data (JSON) and delete your account yourself from your account page; for anything else contact info@pythiabasketball.com. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority; in Cyprus this is the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection.

Changes

We may update this policy; the latest version always applies.

Manage Cookies

Strictly Necessary

Always Active

Cookies required to use the site and the features you have asked for. They provide the pages, predictions and account functions you requested. These are essential for the operation of our website.

Session and security cookies, your logged-in state, your subscription status, and the record of this cookie choice itself. These cannot be switched off because the site cannot be delivered without them.

Functionality Cookies

Cookies that remember the preferences and settings from your last visit, so the site behaves the way you left it. They do not tell us who you are and they are not used to build a profile of you.

Your preferred tours and filters, which notices you have dismissed, your theme choice, and display preferences you have chosen. Kept for up to two years, and you can clear them from your browser at any time.

These are what "Essential Only" keeps. Choosing "Allow Necessary Cookies Only" inside this panel switches them off as well.

Performance Cookies

Cookies used to collect information about your usage of the site. These are used to produce aggregated statistics about visits to our pages. We use these statistics internally to test and improve the site and to give you a better experience. Without them our ability to provide a smoother experience may be degraded.

Which pages and predictions are read, how long pages take to load, and which features are used, including Google Analytics. Reported in aggregate, never sold, and not used to identify you personally when you are not signed in.

These are off unless you switch them on here or choose "Accept All".

Third Party Marketing/Targeting

Cookies used to deliver adverts relevant to you based on your interests. This can include limiting the number of times you see an advert as well as helping us measure the effectiveness of an advert. Without these cookies you will still see adverts, but they will not be adjusted to your interests.

Set by our advertising partners. Switching these off does not reduce the number of adverts you see; it only makes them less relevant to you.
