All third parties we work with are required to sign strict data confidentiality agreements and adhere to data protection standards equivalent to our own.

Our Commitment: Your data has never and will never be sold to data brokers, third-party advertising companies, or any entity for commercial gain.


5Data Security

Protecting your personal data is our technical and operational priority. 12bets implements comprehensive, multi-layered security measures:

  • Encryption of data in transit: All communications are secured with TLS 1.3 protocol and 256-bit SSL encryption.
  • Encryption of data at rest: Sensitive data such as payment information and KYC documents are encrypted when stored in our database.
  • Strict access controls: Only authorised staff who require access to carry out their permitted duties are allowed to view member personal data.
  • Regular security audits: Our systems undergo regular security audits by independent third parties to identify and address any vulnerabilities.
  • 24/7 monitoring: Automated threat detection monitors our infrastructure around the clock for suspicious activity.
  • Incident response plan: 12bets has clear protocols in place to handle any data breaches that may occur, including notifying affected parties within the stipulated timeframe.

While we take all reasonable precautions, no system is 100% immune. You can help by using a strong password, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), and never sharing your login credentials with anyone.
