Privacy Policy

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Bet.co.ug pages and services under our control. It does not govern betting operators, payment providers, regulators, or other third-party websites that you may visit through a link on this site.

Bet.co.ug is an information and comparison website. We do not create betting accounts, accept wagers, process deposits or withdrawals, or ask for your Mobile Money PIN.

2. Information We May Process

• Technical and security data: IP address, browser and device type, requested URL, referral information, timestamps, and security events recorded by our server, hosting, or security providers.
• Communications: your email address and any information you voluntarily include when contacting us.
• Outbound-link activity: requests to internal redirect links such as /go/1/ may appear in ordinary server logs.
• Analytics data: Ahrefs Web Analytics processes page URLs, referrers, browser and device information, language, approximate country/city, page views, link clicks, and other common interactions to provide aggregated usage statistics.

Please do not send passwords, betting account credentials, identity documents, payment PINs, or full financial details.

3. How We Use Information

• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
• Measure site performance and understand which content is useful.
• Respond to correction requests, privacy questions, and editorial enquiries.
• Detect abuse, automated attacks, fraud, or unlawful activity.
• Meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand aggregated website usage. According to Ahrefs, its default Web Analytics tracker does not use cookies or persistent identifiers, does not store raw IP addresses, and does not track individuals across different websites or days. Ahrefs may process an IP address temporarily to derive approximate location and a daily salted identifier before discarding the raw address.

Our infrastructure or security providers may still use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to deliver and protect the site. If other optional analytics or advertising technology is introduced, it should be operated with any consent required by applicable law.

When you leave Bet.co.ug for a betting operator or another third party, that website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies under its own privacy policy.

5. Sharing and International Processing

We may share limited information with service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, email, or website maintenance, including Ahrefs for aggregated web analytics, subject to appropriate responsibilities. You can read the Ahrefs Privacy Policy. We may also disclose information when legally required or when reasonably necessary to protect users, the site, or our rights.

Some providers may process information outside Uganda. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to use providers and safeguards appropriate to the information involved. We do not sell your personal information.

6. Retention and Security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, dispute resolution, and legal requirements. Retention periods may differ between server logs, correspondence, and other records.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law and relevant limitations, you may have rights to be informed about processing, request access to your personal data, correct inaccurate information, object to or restrict certain processing, request deletion, prevent direct marketing, and complain about suspected non-compliance.

Uganda's Personal Data Protection Office oversees the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019. You can learn more or submit a complaint through the official PDPO website.

9. Updates and Contact

We may update this policy when our services, providers, or legal obligations change. The latest version will remain available on this page with an updated date.

For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected] with the subject “Privacy Request”. We may need enough information to understand and verify your request, but we will never ask for your betting password or Mobile Money PIN.
