Privacy Policy for Edge – AI Sports Value Betting

Effective Date: January 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how [Company Name] (“Edge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Edge – AI Sports Value Betting mobile application and related services, including our website at [Website URL] (collectively, the “Services”).

Edge provides sports betting information (e.g., odds comparisons, value grades, AI explanations) and may include links that open third-party sportsbook apps or websites. Edge does not accept wagers, process betting transactions, or act as a sportsbook.

1) Scope

This policy applies to information we collect through:

  • The Edge mobile app (iOS and Android)

  • Our website and any official Edge pages that link to this policy

  • Communications with us (support email, feedback, surveys)

This policy does not apply to third-party services you may access through Edge, including sportsbooks, payment providers, or social platforms. Those third parties have their own privacy policies.

2) Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: (a) information you provide, (b) information collected automatically, and (c) information from third-party services you choose to connect/use.

A. Information You Provide

Depending on how you use the Services, you may provide:

  • Account information (if you create an account): email address, username, or similar identifiers

  • Preferences: favorite sports/leagues, selected sportsbooks, alert thresholds, watchlists/saved bets

  • Support & feedback: messages you send us, bug reports, screenshots you provide, and survey responses

If Edge supports “guest mode,” we may still create a random app identifier to save preferences locally or in our backend without requiring an email.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the app, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and app information: device model, operating system, app version, language, time zone, carrier (coarse), and device settings

  • Usage information: screens viewed, taps/clicks, time spent, features used, crash logs, performance metrics

  • Identifiers: an app instance ID and/or analytics identifiers (depending on your device settings and platform permissions)

  • Network information: IP address (often used to approximate region and prevent abuse)

C. Location Information (Limited)

Edge may use limited location-related information to improve relevance and compliance:

  • Approximate location (e.g., inferred from IP) to show region-appropriate sportsbooks and content

  • User-selected location/state during onboarding (if you choose it)

We do not require precise GPS location to provide the core experience. If we ever request precise location permissions, we will clearly explain why and you can decline.

D. Push Notifications

If you enable alerts, we collect:

  • A push notification token (provided by Apple/Google or our notification provider)

  • Your alert settings (e.g., minimum grade, sport filters)

  • Delivery and interaction signals (e.g., notification opened)

You can disable notifications anytime in device settings.

E. Betting / Payment Information

Edge does not collect betting wallet information or process wagers. If you choose to open a sportsbook via deep link, any transactions occur with that sportsbook under its terms and privacy policy.

3) How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate Edge features (grades, odds comparisons, AI explanations, saved bets, alerts)

  • Personalize content (sports/leagues you follow, preferred sportsbooks)

  • Improve and debug the Services (analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring)

  • Send notifications you request (alerts for grades, EV thresholds, odds changes)

  • Maintain security, prevent fraud/abuse, and enforce our terms

  • Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests

4) Deep Links to Sportsbooks and Outbound Click Tracking

Edge includes “Place Bet” or similar buttons that open third-party sportsbook apps or websites.

When you tap an outbound link, we may log limited click data to:

  • Route you to the best available link (betslip/market/event/home fallback)

  • Measure feature performance and reliability (broken links, routing success)

  • Understand aggregate usage and improve the product

This click data may include:

  • The selected sportsbook

  • The bet/market identifier (internal ID)

  • Odds/grade/EV at the time of click

  • Timestamp

  • Device OS (iOS/Android)

  • A pseudonymous app/user identifier (if available)

We do not control how the sportsbook collects or uses your information once you leave Edge.

5) How We Share Information

We may share information in the following ways:

A. Service Providers

We use trusted vendors to operate the Services, such as:

  • Cloud hosting and databases

  • Analytics and crash reporting

  • Push notification delivery

  • Customer support tools

These providers may process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect it and only use it to provide services to us.

B. Legal and Safety

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with laws, regulations, legal processes, or government requests

  • Enforce our terms and policies

  • Protect the rights, safety, and security of Edge, our users, or others

C. Business Transfers

If we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

D. Aggregated / De-identified Information

We may share aggregated or de-identified statistics (e.g., feature usage counts, average click-through rate) that do not identify you.

We do not sell your personal information as that term is commonly defined under applicable privacy laws.

6) AI Features and Generated Explanations

Edge uses AI to generate human-readable explanations of why a bet may be graded highly.

  • AI explanations are generated from structured odds/market data and Edge’s computed metrics (e.g., consensus probability, EV%, confidence).

  • We may log the input metrics and the generated explanation to:

    • Cache results for performance

    • Improve consistency and quality

    • Troubleshoot errors

We do not intend to use AI features to infer sensitive traits about you.

7) Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate business purposes, such as:

  • Maintaining your saved bets and alert preferences

  • Debugging and improving the app

  • Security and fraud prevention

  • Legal compliance

Retention periods vary depending on the type of data. When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials.

9) Your Choices and Controls

Depending on your settings and location, you may be able to:

  • Access, update, or delete certain information (e.g., profile, preferences)

  • Turn push notifications on/off in your device settings

  • Limit certain analytics through device privacy settings (where available)

  • Request deletion of your account (if accounts are supported)

To make a privacy request, contact us at [Support Email].

10) Privacy Rights (U.S. States / International)

Some jurisdictions provide specific privacy rights. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion

  • Request portability (a copy)

  • Opt out of certain processing (where applicable)

We will respond to verified requests as required by applicable law. To submit a request, email [Support Email] with the subject “Privacy Request.”

11) Children’s Privacy / Age Restrictions

Edge is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Note: Sports betting legality and age requirements vary by location. Edge is intended for users 21+ (or the legal age in your jurisdiction).

12) International Users

If you access Edge from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

13) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and may provide additional notice (e.g., in-app notice).
