5. Data Storage and Security Measures
The security of user data is our highest priority. 178bets uses multiple layers of technical and organisational protection to ensure your information remains safe at all times:
- Data encryption during transmission using the latest TLS/SSL protocols

- Role-based access controls that restrict employees from accessing data outside the scope of their work
- Regular internal security audits
- Intrusion detection systems and round-the-clock monitoring of unusual activity
- Secure and encrypted data backups
Data is retained for as long as your account is active, plus any additional period required to meet legal and compliance requirements. Information that is no longer needed will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Although we take all reasonable steps to protect your data, no security system can guarantee absolute protection. Users are advised to keep their account passwords confidential and not share their login information with anyone else.
