This Bestbet privacy policy applies to bestbet-bet.com, an independent guide that publishes Bestbet reviews and links to the operator. It lists the small amount of data we handle and the choices you have.
Who we are
bestbet-bet.com is an independent review site for readers in Ethiopia. We are not the operator of Bestbet, we do not accept bets, and we hold no player accounts, balances or payment details.
We earn money from advertising links. If you follow a link to the operator and open an account, we may receive a commission. That never changes the limits or rules we describe in a guide.
What data we collect
We keep collection to a minimum. This is everything the site records when you read a page.
- Analytics events, such as the pages you open and how long you stay.
- Basic device details, including browser type, screen size and approximate region.
- Messages you send to our editorial or support e-mail addresses.
- Server logs that record an IP address and the time of each request.
We do not ask for your name, card numbers or betting balance, and we cannot see your operator account.
Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small files that a site stores in your browser. This guide uses them to count visits and to remember simple choices.
Local storage keeps data on your device only. We use it to remember that you closed the quick access bar.
You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings.
How we use data
We use the data above for a short list of purposes.
- Running the site and keeping pages, fonts and images loading quickly.
- Understanding which guides readers find useful.
- Replying to questions, corrections and complaints sent by e-mail.
- Protecting the site against spam, scraping and other abuse.
We never use your data for marketing. This guide has no newsletter and no accounts.
Legal basis for processing
Where data protection rules apply, we rely on a small number of legal bases.
- Consent: analytics cookies run only after you accept them, and you may withdraw at any time.
- Legitimate interests: server logs and basic security checks keep the site working and safe.
- Legitimate interests: answering an e-mail that you chose to send us.
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
Sharing with partners
We share data with a small number of providers, who process it only for the purpose we agreed.
- A hosting provider that stores the site and its server logs.
- An analytics provider that counts visits and reports them to us in aggregate.
- The operator, which receives a referral note when you follow one of our links.
We do not sell personal data and never pass your e-mail to the operator.
Data retention
We keep each type of data only as long as it is needed.
| Data category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Contact e-mail | Answering your question | 24 months after the last reply |
| Analytics events | Counting visits and popular pages | 14 months |
| Server logs | Security and fault checks | 30 days |
| Cookie choice | Remembering your consent | 12 months |
These periods are indicative and may change if a legal duty requires a longer record.
Your rights
You have rights over the personal data that we hold about you.
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct anything that is wrong or out of date.
- Ask us to delete data we no longer need.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent for analytics cookies whenever you wish.
- Complain to a data protection authority in your country.
Write to [email protected] to use any of these rights. We answer within 30 days.
Children and gambling age
This site is written for adults aged 18 and over, and our gambling content follows that rule.
We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If a minor has written to us, tell us and we will delete it.
Security measures
The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Access to our e-mail and hosting accounts is restricted and password protected.
We collect very little, which is itself a security measure. There is no player database here to breach.
What we cannot control
No site can promise perfect security. Keep your password private and never send it to us.
Changes to this policy
We update this page when our tools or our providers change. The date at the top shows the current version.
If a change is significant we will say so in plain words here.
