Privacy Policy

For the purposes of this policy, NEXT SPORT is the operator of the website and the controller of personal data processed through the service. You can contact us at support@meta-next.ru or by mail at 17 Butlerova St., Office 278, Moscow, 117342, Russia.

This policy applies to website visitors, registered users, newsletter recipients, people who contact support, and other individuals whose data is processed through the public site, account functions, and related communications.

The exact data depends on how you use the service. We collect only the information that is reasonably necessary for operating the website, accounts, analytics, moderation, communications, and legal compliance.

• identity and contact data you provide voluntarily, such as name, email address, login, profile information, and messages sent to support;
• account and authentication data needed to create, maintain, and secure your profile and session;
• technical and device data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, time zone, referral pages, and security logs;
• usage data such as viewed pages, clicks, feature activity, search queries, and other interaction events;
• cookie, local storage, and similar identifier data used for sign-in, preferences, analytics, and fraud prevention;
• user-generated content you submit through public or private interactive features, where such features are available.

We process personal data to deliver the service, protect the platform, understand product usage, communicate with users, and comply with applicable law.

• to create and manage accounts, sign users in, and maintain sessions;
• to provide content, personalization, saved settings, and language or region preferences;
• to respond to support requests, feedback, complaints, and legal inquiries;
• to measure service quality, audience activity, product performance, and security events;
• to prevent abuse, spam, fraud, unauthorized access, and other violations;
• to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.

Depending on the context and applicable law, we rely on one or more legal bases for processing: your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interests in operating, protecting, and improving the service.

Where data protection laws grant additional rights, including GDPR-style transparency rights, we aim to provide clear information about the categories of data processed, the purposes, recipients, retention periods, and available choices.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website working, remember preferences, maintain authentication, understand audience behavior, and improve product performance.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for core site functions. Analytics, personalization, advertising, or third-party cookies may require additional user choice under applicable law. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings and any consent tools made available on the site.

We do not disclose personal data to arbitrary third parties. Access is limited to employees, editors, moderators, contractors, and service providers who need the data to operate the service or fulfill a legal requirement.

Data may be shared with hosting, analytics, authentication, communications, moderation, and security providers, with affiliates involved in website operations, with competent authorities when required by law, and with counterparties in a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate transaction.

If data is transferred across borders, we use the legal, contractual, and organizational safeguards required by the applicable regime for that transfer.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including account administration, support, analytics, security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.

Retention periods may differ depending on the data category, whether you maintain an account, whether a dispute or request is pending, and whether the law requires a minimum storage period. When data is no longer needed, we delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from active use.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, or portability of data provided by you.

Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and destruction. These measures may include access controls, logging, role separation, infrastructure protection, and internal response procedures.

No online environment can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. If an incident affecting personal data occurs, we will respond under the procedure and timeframes required by applicable law.

NEXT SPORT is an 18+ sports and betting-related media product. It is not intended for children. If we learn that personal data was provided in violation of applicable age requirements, we may restrict the account and delete the data where required.

This section is included because regulators continue to focus on age assurance and children’s privacy risks on online platforms.

Questions about privacy, requests to exercise rights, and notices about personal data can be sent to support@meta-next.ru. Written requests may also be sent to 17 Butlerova St., Office 278, Moscow, 117342, Russia.

We may update this policy when our service, legal requirements, or processing practices change. The current version is published on this page, and the effective update date is shown below.
