Privacy Policy
Last updated: —
1. Who we are and the scope of this policy
This website (the "Site", available at 1xbetnigeria.vercel.app) is an independent information and comparison portal about the 1xBet betting and gaming platform for readers in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are not a bookmaker or casino operator, we do not accept bets, and we do not process gaming transactions or player funds. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the rights you hold under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 (NDPA) and, where applicable, the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, 2019 (NDPR).
2. Data we collect
We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use the Site, we may process:
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution and language settings;
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, referring website and approximate (city-level) location derived from your IP address;
- Cookie data: identifiers stored by cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy;
- Correspondence data: if you contact us, the contents of your message and the contact details you choose to provide.
We do not knowingly collect financial data, identity documents or any special categories of personal data. Registration, deposits and betting take place exclusively on the operator's own websites, under the operator's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read.
3. Lawful bases and purposes of processing
We process personal data in accordance with Section 25 of the NDPA on the following bases and for the following purposes:
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure and improve the Site, to measure how our content is read and to prevent abuse;
- Consent — for non-essential cookies, analytics and any marketing technologies, which you may withdraw at any time;
- Legal obligation — to respond to lawful requests from Nigerian courts, regulators, including the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), or law-enforcement authorities.
4. Cookies and tracking technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to understand how visitors use our pages. Details of every category we use, its purpose and lifespan, and instructions for disabling cookies are set out in the Cookie Policy. You can manage cookies in your browser settings at any time.
5. Data sharing and affiliate links
The Site contains links leading to third-party betting and gaming websites. Some of these are affiliate links: if you follow such a link and register or deposit, we may receive a commission from the operator. When you leave the Site through any external link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies — the destination website processes your data under its own policy. We do not sell personal data. We share technical data only with service providers who help us host and analyse the Site (for example hosting and analytics vendors), under contracts that restrict their use of that data, and with public authorities where the law requires it.
6. Your rights as a data subject
Under Part VI of the NDPA you have the right to:
- request access to the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion of your data where there is no lawful ground for us to keep it;
- object to, or request restriction of, processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal;
- data portability, where processing is carried out by automated means;
- lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) at ndpc.gov.ng.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11. We respond to verified requests within the timeframes prescribed by the NDPA.
7. Information security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data we process: the Site is served over encrypted HTTPS connections, access to server infrastructure is restricted and logged, and we minimise both the volume of data collected and the period for which it is stored. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we review our safeguards regularly.
8. Data retention
Technical and usage data are retained in aggregated or log form for no longer than 12 months, after which they are deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and, at most, for 24 months. Where the law requires longer retention, we keep only what that law demands.
9. Intended audience (18+)
The Site is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. Betting and gaming content is age-restricted in Nigeria, and operators are required to verify age before allowing play. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law — including guidance issued by the NDPC — or in how the Site operates. The date of the latest revision is always shown at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site for a reasonable period.
