Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

Your Privacy Matters

Using an online betting platform means sharing personal information, and you deserve to know exactly what happens with your data. This policy explains in plain terms how SpeedBet Ethiopia collects, uses, protects, and handles your information. We've tried to avoid legal jargon where possible because privacy policies should actually be readable.

Information We Collect

When you register, we need your name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and residential address. This isn't nosiness - Ethiopian gambling regulations require us to verify that players are of legal age and are who they claim to be. Your date of birth confirms you're over 18, while your address helps us comply with local laws.

We also collect payment information when you make deposits or withdrawals. Credit card numbers, mobile money details, bank account information - this data gets processed securely through encrypted payment channels. We never store complete card numbers on our servers. Payment processors handle that sensitive information under strict security standards.

Your betting and gaming activity creates data too. Which sports you bet on, what odds you prefer, which casino games you play, how much you wager, when you're most active - this behavioral information helps us understand how you use the platform. We use it to spot suspicious patterns, prevent fraud, and occasionally to personalize your experience with relevant offers.

How We Use Your Information

Account verification is the main reason we need your details. We have to confirm you're a real person, of legal age, and not already banned from gambling. This protects everyone from fraud and helps us maintain a legitimate operation.

Processing your bets and payments obviously requires your information. We can't credit your account or pay out winnings without knowing who you are and where to send money. Transaction records help resolve disputes if something goes wrong with a bet or payment.

Security monitoring uses your data to detect unusual activity. If someone suddenly starts betting huge amounts from a different country using your account, we need to notice that and lock things down. Fraud detection systems analyze patterns to protect both you and us from scammers.

Marketing communications are part of the deal, but you can opt out anytime. We'll send promotional emails about bonuses, new games, and special offers based on what you seem to enjoy. If you'd rather not receive these, just adjust your communication preferences in account settings.

Data Security Measures

We use SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers. This means anything you send us travels through a secure tunnel that outsiders can't peek into. Banking-grade encryption protects sensitive information like passwords and payment details.

Our databases sit behind multiple security layers including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls. Only authorized staff members can view your information, and they need legitimate business reasons to do so. We log every access to player data for accountability.

Regular security audits help us identify and fix vulnerabilities before anyone exploits them. Independent security firms test our systems periodically, and we patch any weaknesses they discover. Cybersecurity isn't a one-time setup - it requires constant attention.

Sharing Your Information

We don't sell your data to third parties. That's not our business model, and frankly, it would be unethical given the trust you place in us. However, we do share information with certain partners when necessary.

Payment processors need transaction details to handle your deposits and withdrawals. Game providers receive limited data to operate casino games properly. Customer service tools store conversation history so support agents can help you effectively. Regulatory authorities get information when legally required for compliance purposes.

All these third parties sign agreements committing them to protect your data and use it only for specified purposes. We don't hand over your information to random companies or let partners do whatever they want with it.

Your Rights and Choices

You can request a copy of all information we hold about you. This might take a few days to compile, but you're entitled to see what data we've collected. You can also ask us to correct inaccurate information or delete your data entirely, though we may need to retain certain records for legal compliance.

Opt-out options exist for marketing messages, promotional emails, and SMS notifications. Account settings let you control most communication preferences. Some messages like security alerts and transaction confirmations can't be disabled because they're essential for account security.

Cookie Usage

Our website uses cookies to remember your login status, language preferences, and browsing history. Some cookies track how you navigate the site so we can improve the layout and fix confusing areas. You can disable cookies in your browser, though this might break certain features.

Policy Updates

We'll update this privacy policy occasionally as laws change or we add new features. Material changes get announced through email and website notifications. Continuing to use SpeedBet Ethiopia after updates means you accept the revised terms.
