TippwisePrivacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
This policy describes which personal data is processed when you visit tippwise.com. It follows the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We collect as little data as possible: there is no registration, no account and no tracking across other websites.

2. Hosting and server logs
The site runs on Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). When you visit, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data: IP address, time, requested address, browser type and operating system. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it against attacks (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare may process data in the USA. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework and has concluded standard contractual clauses.
3. Storage in your browser
The site does not set any advertising or tracking cookies. Only these entries are stored in your browser's storage (Local Storage):
tippwise-consent: your choice in the cookie notice (necessary).tippwise-prefs: language, currency and appearance, only if you allow “remember settings”. Otherwise only until you close the tab.tippcheck-fav,tippcheck-cart,tippcheck-slips,tippcheck-stake,tippcheck-man,tippcheck-lo: your favourites, the slips you put together, your stake and your view settings. This data stays on your device only and is not sent to us.tippwise-nick: your random chat name, so it stays the same.
To show kick-off times in your local time and to suggest a currency, the page reads your device's time zone. This happens only in your browser; the time zone is not sent to us. We do not request your location.
You can delete these entries in your browser at any time and change your choice under “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the page.
4. Visitor statistics (only with consent)
If you allow “statistics” in the cookie notice, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies, builds no profiles and only records aggregated values such as page views, country of origin and loading time. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
5. Live chat
In the chat you get a random name. We store this name, a colour, your message, the time and any images you upload yourself. Messages and images are visible to all visitors. So please do not share personal data.
To fight spam, instead of your IP address we only store an encrypted short value (hash) that changes daily and cannot be traced back to you. Images are made smaller in your browser before uploading, which removes location and camera data (EXIF). Only the latest 2000 messages are kept; older messages and images are deleted automatically. The data is stored in a Cloudflare database (D1).
6. Feedback
When you send feedback, we send your text, the selected type (idea, bug, praise, other), your chat name, the language and the page view to us by email (via Cloudflare Email Routing). The text is not stored on the website; only if sending the email fails at that moment do we keep it in our database instead. To fight spam, we store only the time and the daily changing short value for 24 hours. We only use feedback to improve Tippwise and delete the emails when they are no longer needed.
7. GIFs
For the GIF search in the chat, we send your search term via our server to GIPHY (GIPHY, Inc., USA). GIPHY receives neither your IP address nor any other data about you. The GIF images are also loaded via our server.
8. Match data
Our server fetches fixtures, results and line-ups from external sports data providers. No data about you is passed on in the process.
9. Advertising
Tippwise currently shows no advertising. As soon as this changes, this section will be updated and you will be asked for your consent first.
We show ads via Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google LLC, USA). Google may use cookies and similar technologies for this and process your IP address and information about your device, also in the USA. Personalised ads only appear if you agree in Google's consent dialog (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without consent, Google only shows non-personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time via the “Privacy settings for ads” link at the bottom of the page. More: How Google uses data in advertising.
10. Transfers abroad
The service providers named above may process data in the USA. Transfers are based on the EU-US or Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework or on standard contractual clauses.
11. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, to data portability and to object. You can withdraw consent at any time. To do so, contact us at the address above. Since we do not store names or IP addresses in the chat, please tell us your chat name and the approximate time of the message.
You can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: in Switzerland with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), in the EU with the data protection authority of your country.
12. Changes
