Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Here are the types we use:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation and do not collect personal information. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the website would not work without them.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to collect data such as pages visited, session duration, and traffic sources. This data is aggregated and anonymised. Google Analytics may transfer data to servers in the United States; Google operates under standard contractual clauses for such transfers.

Third-Party Cookies

Some of our pages contain links to third-party bookmaker websites. If you click these links, those third parties may set their own cookies. We have no control over these cookies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit through our links.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
• Set preferences for specific websites

Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-Party Links & Services

Our website contains links to third-party websites, primarily licensed bookmaker platforms. When you click on these links, you leave BetAfrSee and enter a website operated by a different entity with its own privacy policy and terms of service.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party website. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of every site you visit, particularly before providing any personal or financial information.

The inclusion of a link to a third-party website does not imply endorsement of that site's privacy practices.

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We use third-party services (such as Google Analytics and our web hosting provider) that process data on our behalf. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process (such as a court order or subpoena).
• Protection of rights: We may disclose data if we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of BetAfrSee, our users, or the public.

Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Analytics data: Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.
• Email correspondence: If you contact us, we retain your email and our response for up to 24 months, unless a longer retention period is required for legal or legitimate business reasons.
• Server logs: Technical server logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes.

Children's Privacy

BetAfrSee is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Our content relates to gambling, which is legally restricted to adults in Nigeria and most jurisdictions worldwide.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@betafrsee.ng.

International Data Transfers

Our website is hosted on servers that may be located outside Nigeria. Additionally, our use of Google Analytics means some data may be processed on servers in the United States or other countries.

Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities
• Adequacy decisions where available
• Data processing agreements with all service providers
