Our Privacy Policy was updated on 4 September 2023 with the following changes:
- Addition of 'Partnering with third parties including for co-branded offers' in the section titled 'What we do with your personal information'
Superbru is an online sports predictor and fantasy game. It is operated by SportEngage Limited, a company registered in the United Kingdom under company number 07130756. SportEngage's address is 64 Kimber Road, London SW18 4PP, United Kingdom. SportEngage acts as a data controller with respect to the personal data discussed in this policy. Being a data controller simply means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.
If you sign up with Superbru or engage with us in some other way like buying merchandise, you may play our games and you might make use of other supporting features around the games such as creating your own pool inside a game, sending a direct message to another user or contacting our helpdesk. In this document, these and other similar usages of Superbru are referred to as our Services, and references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Superbru as operated by SportEngage Limited.
If you have any questions or concerns about your data, please contact our Data Protection Officer on privacy@superbru.com. This email inbox is proactively monitored, so you can confidently expect your query to be addressed. We aim to respond to enquiries within 30 working days but will usually be in touch much sooner.
We strongly believe in both minimising the data we collect and limiting its use and purpose to only that (1) for which we have been given permission, (2) as necessary to deliver the Services you interact with, or (3) as we might be required or permitted for legal compliance or other lawful purposes. These uses include:
We collect various information relating your interactions with our Services. We utilise this information to:
- Enable you to use our Services
- Operate our website and mobile app
- Ensure the security of our Services
- Improve and optimise the operation and performance of our Services (including our websites and mobile applications)
- Diagnose problems with and identify any security risks, errors, or needed enhancements to the Services
- Detect and prevent fraud and abuse of our Services and systems
- Collecting aggregate statistics about use of the Services
- Understand and analyze how you use our Services and what products and services are most relevant to you
Often, much of the data collected is aggregated or statistical data about how individuals use our Services, and is not linked to any personal data, but to the extent it is itself personal data, or is linked or linkable to personal data, we treat it accordingly.
We work with some third-party partners to support our fantasy and predictor games, and to offer co-branded offers. Often, it will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the information and whose privacy policy applies.
In the case of rugby, if you join a Superbru game for a rugby tournament kicking off after 1 September 2023, we provide information about your registration, gameplay, demographics and engagement with United Rugby Championship, to allow them to learn more about rugby fans and to support their marketing where they already have your data. More information on URC's use of your data can be found in their privacy notice here: https://www.unitedrugby.com/privacy-policy.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (such as subpoena requests), to protect our property and rights or the property and rights of a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.
To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we will take reasonable steps to notify you in the event that we are required to provide your personal information to third parties as part of legal process.
