GLOBAL PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: 01.06.2026. | Last Updated: 01.06.2026. | Applies to all users worldwide

1. INTRODUCTION

Pickny ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Pickny website and player proposition research platform (the "Service"). This Global Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information regardless of where you are located in the world.

We recognise that privacy laws differ by jurisdiction. This Policy sets out our baseline global practices and includes jurisdiction-specific sections for users in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States (California), Brazil, Australia, and Canada. Where local law grants you additional rights, those are described in the relevant section.

By using the Service, you acknowledge you have read and understood this Policy.

  • Profile and preferences — settings, notification preferences, saved searches.
  • Communications — messages sent to us via email, support tickets, or contact forms.
  • Payment data — billing name and address; card details are processed by our payment provider and not stored by us.

  • Device and technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs.
  • Location data — approximate location derived from IP address (country/region level only).
  • Cookie and tracking data — see Section 8 for full details.

3.3 Data From Third Parties

  • Authentication providers — if you sign in via Google or another third-party service, we receive basic profile data (name, email) from that provider.
  • Analytics providers — aggregated and pseudonymised usage statistics from services such as Google Analytics.
  • Sports data licensors — no personal data is received from or shared with our sports data providers.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

  • To create and manage your account and provide the Service.
  • To personalise your experience and remember your preferences.
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions.
  • To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support.
  • To send marketing and product updates where you have opted in.
  • To analyse usage patterns and improve the Service.
  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

5. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING

We rely on the following legal bases, which vary by jurisdiction:

Contract

Processing necessary to deliver the Service you have signed up for, including account management and payment processing.

Legitimate Interests

Improving and securing the Service, preventing fraud, and understanding how users interact with our platform — where these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Consent

For marketing communications and non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Legal Obligation

Where applicable law requires us to process or retain data.

6. HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers — hosting, infrastructure, analytics, payment processing, and email delivery partners who process data on our behalf under binding data processing agreements.
  • Legal and regulatory authorities — where required by law, court order, regulation, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
  • Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We will notify you prior to any such transfer.
  • With your consent — in any other circumstance where you have explicitly authorised disclosure.

7. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for (e.g. such as providing you access to our Services), including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Where it is no longer necessary to process your Personal Data, we will delete it or anonymise it by removing all details that identify you in accordance with Data Protection Laws. For example, if you withdraw your consent to process your Personal Data, we will delete your Personal Data unless this is required to be retained to enable us to comply with Data Protection Laws.

The length of time for which we retain your Personal Data will depend on what we are using it for as set out in this privacy policy. For example, whilst you are using our products and services, we may need to use it to answer your queries about our products and services.

Please note, however, that we may be subject to legal and regulatory requirements to keep Personal Data for a longer period, in particular pursuant to any applicable statutory limitation period.

8. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

  • Essential cookies — required for the Service to function (session management, authentication). Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand usage patterns. Only set with your consent.
  • Preference cookies — remember your settings and personalise your experience.

You can manage your cookie preferences via our Cookie Preferences Centre, accessible from the website footer. You may also configure your browser to block cookies, though this may affect Service functionality. Full details are available in our Cookie Policy at pickny.com/cookie-policy.

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We are based in Croatia and may transfer personal data to countries outside your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for all international transfers, including:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or UK ICO.
  • Adequacy decisions where the destination country has been recognised as providing adequate protection.
  • Binding Corporate Rules or other approved transfer mechanisms where applicable.

For transfers from the UK or EEA to the United States, we rely on UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) or EU SCCs as appropriate.

10. SECURITY

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including TLS encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments. No internet transmission is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and inform affected users as required by applicable law.
