Who this notice is for
Our other privacy policy covers the people who sign up to use EsportsOdds. This notice is different: it is for players and team staff whose public competitive data appears in our product or on the public pages of this website. We did not collect that data from you directly, so UK data-protection law (Article 14 of the UK GDPR) asks us to tell you, in a notice like this one, what we hold and what you can do about it.
Who we are
EsportsOdds (esportsodds.gg) is a trading name of Sellframe Ltd (company number SC472357, registered office 14 Avonside Grove, Hamilton, ML3 7DL, United Kingdom), which is the data controller for this information. You can reach us about anything in this notice at phil@esportsodds.gg, or use the request channels in sections 9 and 10. We are a UK-based business and process this data under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What we hold, and what we work out
Factual, competition-related information only: a player's in-game handle, and where publicly known their name, nationality, in-game role, current team, team line-ups (which players a team listed for a match, and their past teams), and on-server performance statistics (things like kills, deaths, ratings and map results). We also keep technical identifiers to match records across sources, including, for some sources, a game-platform account ID. They are never published or supplied to anyone.
We deliberately do not hold or display player photographs or likenesses, contact details, a date of birth, or any other personal information about your life outside competition, and we hold no special-category data (nothing about health, beliefs, and so on).
Figures we work out about players. Some of what we publish is not copied from anywhere: we calculate it from public match statistics. On a player page, that means percentiles or bands: where a player's figure for something (for example, headshot share) sits compared with other players'. For most players this is shown as a band, such as "top 10%" or "around the middle". For players with a lot of recent play at top-tier events it is shown as an exact percentile (section 8 gives the rule).
Under UK data protection law this is profiling: using information about a person to evaluate how they have performed. We tell you so it is not a surprise. How the figures are worked out is on our methodology page. They describe what happened in recorded matches. They are not a judgement of anyone's ability and they are not a prediction. We do not use them to make any decision about you.
What paying customers also receive. Through our API and dashboard, paying customers get more than the public pages show: our own per-map player rating, a player's position on a leaderboard, and an exact percentile for every player's figures, whatever their level. We also use player and team statistics to build our own statistical models of match results. None of this is published on the public pages, and we do not use any of it to make a decision about you.
Where it comes from
We obtain this information from publicly accessible esports match-data and statistics websites — the same public results, rosters and statistics anyone can see online. It comes from those publicly accessible sources, not from you and not from any private or restricted source.
Why we process it, and our lawful basis
We provide a statistics and odds-data product. Part of it is public: pages on this website that show player statistics and, for some players, figures we work out ourselves (section 3). Another part goes to our paying customers, and some of the statistics also go into our own statistical models (section 3). Our lawful basis for all of it is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): running a statistics site and data product is a genuine commercial interest, and publishing results and statistics is what such a product is for.
We have weighed that against your rights, separately for the basic facts and statistics and for the percentiles and bands we work out from them. We think our interest is not overridden for the facts and statistics. For percentiles, on our public pages we show exact positions only for established players and bands for everyone else, because we do not think an exact low position is fair to publish about someone we cannot contact. Paying customers receive exact percentiles for every player; those are not published. We have no photographs, no private information and no contact details, and nothing is shown about you publicly that is not a public competitive record or calculated from one.
You can object — to your public page or to our use of your data at all — at any time. See section 9: it has its own section so you can find it.
Who can see it
Most of this data goes to our paying customers, through the API and the paid dashboard, which sits behind login and payment. Some of it is public. Anyone can see:
- Team pages and rankings on this website. A team page lists the team's players by in-game handle, with their match statistics and, where we know it, their country.
- Player pages. A page for each player who has played enough recent matches at S, A or B-tier events (section 8 gives the rule), showing their handle, current and past teams with the dates they joined and left, the other players on their current team by handle with their recent recorded maps, recent matches, country and in-game role where we know them, match statistics, and how those statistics compare with other players' (section 3).
- Written analyses in our learn section. They can name players and give aggregate statistics for them. To ask for a name or a figure in one of them to be corrected or removed, use the request channel in section 9.
These public pages are public. We let search engines list some of them and ask search engines to leave the others out — but every page can be opened by anyone who has the link, and search engines, AI crawlers, archives and other websites may keep copies that we do not control. If we remove a page, we cannot take back copies someone else has already made.
We never show a player's photograph, and we do not show real names on team or player pages. Paying customers receive this data through our API and dashboard, and we place no advertising trackers on the public pages.
Sending data outside the UK
Some of our customers are outside the UK, so this data may be accessed abroad. Making personal data available to someone in a country that the UK has not recognised as providing adequate protection is a restricted transfer under Chapter V of the UK GDPR. If you want to know what applies to your data, write to privacy@esportsodds.gg.
How long we keep it
We currently keep match and player records indefinitely, as the historical record of competitive play, and have not set an end date. If we set one, we will say so here. If you exercise the rights below, we act on your request as described.
Public pages. Events are graded by tier, S being the highest, then A, then B. A player page is shown only while the player has at least 30 recorded maps at S, A or B-tier events, or at least 20 at S or A-tier events, in the last 12 months. Our methodology page explains what a recorded map is. Players with at least 20 recorded maps at top-tier events (S or A) in the last 12 months are our "established" players: only their pages show exact percentiles and a breakdown of their statistics by weapon and by where their shots hit, and only their own pages are ones we let search engines list. The list of players and the team pages can be listed too, and they show handles.
So that pages do not appear and disappear from one day to the next, a page can stay up — and an established player stays established — for up to 14 days after the player falls a little below the rule. When a player no longer qualifies, the page is taken down. We do not store percentiles or bands as records in our database: we work them out from the match statistics when a page is prepared.
Your right to object
You can object to us using your data in this way. You do not need to give a reason for your public page.
- To your public page. Tell us and we will take it down. We will also take your handle off our team pages, other players' pages and our list of players, and leave you out of the groups that other players' figures are compared against. We will not ask why. This does not change what our paying customers receive — for that, see the next point.
- To our holding and supplying your data at all (including to our paying customers). Tell us your reasons and we will assess them. We can only carry on if we can show compelling legitimate grounds that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if we need the data for legal claims. Where we agree with you, we will take your real name, country and the identifiers other websites use for you out of the record we hold and replace your handle with a placeholder, so the statistics we keep carry no name or handle. If you would rather we kept your handle and statistics, tell us and we will. We will check from time to time that the record has not been created again. If we do not agree, we will tell you why, and how to complain.
- Under 18? You, a parent or guardian, or your team or organisation can ask us to take down your page. No reason is needed. Tell us the in-game handle and team.
How: email privacy@esportsodds.gg or use our contact form (choose "Privacy & data"). Give us your in-game handle and team so we can find the right records. We may ask you to show that the request comes from you, or from someone who can act for you. We reply within one month of receiving your request or, if we need to confirm who you are, of confirming it. For a complex request we can extend that by up to two months, and we will tell you within the first month if we do.
Your other rights, and how to use them
You can also ask us to:
- See the data we hold about you, or get a copy of it;
- Correct anything inaccurate, or complete anything partial; and
- Erase it, or restrict how we use it.
To make any of these requests, email privacy@esportsodds.gg or use our contact form (choose "Privacy & data") — tell us the in-game handle and team so we can find the right records. We reply within one month of receiving your request or, if we need to confirm who you are, of confirming it. For a complex request we can extend that by up to two months, and we will tell you within the first month if we do. Because we hold no contact details for players, we cannot write to each of you ourselves. This notice, our request channel, and the choice to publish only facts and calculations from them are how we tell you instead.
If you think we have got something wrong, you can complain to us first at the address above. If you are making a complaint, we acknowledge it within 30 days. We will look into it and tell you the outcome. You can also complain to the UK data protection regulator, the Information Commission (still known as the ICO; until 30 September 2026 it was called the Information Commissioner's Office). We do not make any automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
