Privacy notice

Short version: we collect an email address so you can enter a prediction league, we confirm it with a double opt-in, and we delete it when the league is over and the prize is paid.

Who is responsible

Torus (torusnext.com) is the data controller for league entries. Contact: hello@torusnext.com.

What we collect

• Email address — required to enter and to send you the confirmation link.
• First name — optional, used only to address the confirmation email.
• Your picks — the outcomes you select in the league's markets.
• IP address — stored with the entry for one purpose only: rate-limiting and blocking automated sign-ups.
• Timestamps — when you entered and when you confirmed.

We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers or third-party analytics on the league pages. The site sets one session cookie so the demo trading balance works; it is strictly necessary and contains no personal data beyond a random token.

Why we are allowed to use it

Our lawful basis is consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You give it by submitting the form, and the double opt-in email is the record of that consent. The IP address is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing abuse (Article 6(1)(f)).

What we send

• One confirmation email (double opt-in) — you are not entered until you click it.
• One welcome email with your picks.
• League updates and results while the league runs.

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing withdraws your entry.

Who sees it

Only Torus. We do not sell, rent or share league emails with the sponsoring brand. The sponsor sees aggregate numbers — entries, picks distribution — never your address. Email is delivered through our own mail server; no third-party marketing platform is involved.

How long we keep it

Until 90 days after the league closes and the prize is awarded, then deleted. Unsubscribing deletes the entry immediately. Confirmation tokens are single-use.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, or object to processing by emailing hello@torusnext.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). We will respond within one month.

What this site is not

Torus is a demonstration prediction exchange. League entry is free — no stake, no purchase, no real money, no cash-out. It is not gambling and it is not an investment product. The prices shown are simulated.
