Data Privacy Statement

1. Our Organization and Data Responsibility

Habtam Bet operates as an online gaming enterprise with licensing and regulation by the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia. We function as a data controller in compliance with relevant Ethiopian data protection statutes and accepted international privacy frameworks. Your use of our website or account registration means Global Ad Ventures Ltd., the operator of Habtam Bet, manages the collection and application of your personal information.

For inquiries regarding your privacy or to utilize your information rights, reach out to privacy@habtam-bet.bet. All inquiries will receive a response within 30 days.

2. Information We Gather About You

During account registration, Habtam Bet receives information that you supply to us directly:

• Your full name, date of birth, and national origin
• Email address and phone number
• Home address for account verification purposes
• Government ID or passport information during identity confirmation
• Details of your payment methods for transactions
• Bank or mobile money account information for ETB payments

Our systems also gather information mechanically when you visit, including your internet protocol address, web browser specification, operating system details, pages you access, time spent browsing, and the site that directed you here. This automatic collection is not linked to your identity unless you are logged into your account.

3. Reasons We Require Your Information

Habtam Bet utilizes your information for these specific functions: Setting up your account and verifying your identity as mandated by our license terms. Managing transactions for deposits, withdrawals, and betting activity. Adhering to responsible gaming standards, including age checks and exclusion requests. Combating money laundering and detecting fraud. Providing customer assistance and addressing account matters. Examining usage trends to enhance our gaming experience.

Your data serves exclusively these stated functions. We do not market your personal details to third-party buyers. We refrain from sharing your information with external promoters unless you have granted explicit permission.

4. Our Authority to Use Your Information

Your information is managed according to these legal foundations: Contract requirements. Your account setup and transaction handling demand specific data. Explicit permission. We seek your approval before applying data beyond account operation and payment processing. Regulatory obligations. Ethiopian gaming law and NLA directives require identity checks and anti-laundering measures. Our legitimate business needs. We handle selective data to identify fraud, block misuse, and ensure system integrity.

5. Account Verification and Age Confirmation

Under NLA licensing requirements, Habtam Bet must authenticate players and verify they are 18 or older prior to permitting cash wagering. Upon registration, you must submit a legitimate government-issued identification document or travel papers. This document confirms your age is 18 minimum and corresponds with your account information. We store these materials securely throughout your account existence and retain them for six months following closure to honor regulatory archival standards.

Should you decline verification, we cannot permit cash-based betting. Demo or practice play might be accessible without verification, subject to our platform policies.

6. How We Use Cookies and Tracking Tools

Habtam Bet deploys cookies for operational needs, user protection, and insight into how our players engage with our gaming environment. Critical cookies preserve your login status and guard against unlawful account access. Traffic analysis cookies measure bulk visitor numbers and trending games without identifying specific users. Settings cookies retain your language choice and visual preferences. Campaign cookies document your behavior only when you follow a promotional link to Habtam Bet.

Manage cookies via your browser settings. Turning them off could block your access and restrict how our site functions. Third-party tracking cookies are not deployed by us to monitor you across other platforms. See our full Cookie Policy for specifics.

7. Information Collection Through Our Mobile Apps

Habtam Bet provides apps for both Android (APK) and iPhone platforms. Upon downloading our application, the respective marketplace (Google Play or Apple App Store) gathers device information. Our application collects identical personal details as the website and enforces equivalent safeguards. The application might request access to your device's location, camera, or contact list solely when you initiate an action needing such access. These allowances are entirely optional. The application does not monitor you once it closes.

8. How We Manage Payments and Protect Your Money

Habtam Bet accommodates ETB funding and cash-outs via mobile money platforms and direct bank transfer. Your financial data moves across the network with TLS 1.2 security in encrypted HTTPS channels. We do not archive complete bank numbers or card information within our systems. Rather, we employ token-based processing, meaning your payment method is cited by a protected token rather than your actual banking data. Your banking partners supplying payment services comply with PCI-DSS protocols when handling monetary records.

Cash-out requests normally finalize in one to three business days with mobile money and between two to five days with direct transfers. Your account grants ongoing access to your transaction history.

9. Where Your Information Is Stored and Secured

Habtam Bet operates on fortified internet-based computing systems. Your records reside within encrypted data repositories with restricted access permissions. We do not transfer player files outside Ethiopia or onto foreign infrastructure without your explicit approval and appropriate legal protections. Every server automatically generates daily safety copies to prevent data loss. Should data movement to another nation become necessary for operational reasons, this document will be updated and you will be informed.

10. How Long We Keep Your Information

Habtam Bet preserves your information solely for the duration required to deliver gaming services or meet legal obligations. Active accounts maintain complete records during their lifetime. Upon account closure, we preserve identification documents and transaction records for six months to comply with anti-money-laundering storage requirements. After six months pass, we delete all details save what legal necessity compels us to preserve.

Close your account at any time. Request deletion through account administration or by contacting privacy@habtam-bet.bet. Data may remain within legally mandated backup systems for up to 12 months.

11. What You Can Do With Your Personal Data

Law grants you the ability to request what Habtam Bet maintains on file about you. You may seek corrections for incorrect data or ask for its removal (within legal retention limits). Request your information exported in a moveable format for transfer elsewhere. You are entitled to challenge certain data handling practices, though this might limit your platform access. Withdraw consent to promotional communications anytime without affecting your gaming access.

For any of these requests, get in touch with privacy@habtam-bet.bet including your full name and account identification. After confirming your identity, we will respond within 30 days.

12. Safeguarding Young People

Habtam Bet is limited to individuals 18 years and older. We do not intentionally gather records from those under 18. Should we discover a minor holding an account, we will immediately shut it down and delete associated records. If you learn of someone underage using Habtam Bet, alert us right away at privacy@habtam-bet.bet.

13. Responsible Play and Exclusion Choices

Should you choose exclusion from Habtam Bet, we document this decision and permanently prevent your account from wagering. This record is maintained indefinitely to honor your choice. Should you set a deposit limit, we monitor your payments against that ceiling to enforce it. Communication with our team regarding play concerns gets recorded with notes of outcomes (including suspensions or restrictions applied).

For assistance with problematic gaming, contact the National Lottery Administration or try one of these support services: BeGambleAware, GamCare, or Gambling Therapy.

14. What Happens If Your Data Is Breached

Should a security breach expose your personal information, Habtam Bet will contact you promptly via your registered email. We will explain which data categories were affected, when the breach took place, and measures we took to secure your account. Instructions for protecting yourself will be furnished. We notify applicable authorities per legal requirements.

15. Outside Links and Third-Party Websites

Habtam Bet may feature hyperlinks to external platforms, including payment gateways or responsible play resources. Those platforms' privacy standards are theirs, not ours. Once you visit another domain, its own rules govern, taking precedence over ours. Review their terms before submitting any details. When you follow a marketing or affiliate link, that business learns you clicked it, though we neither control nor govern their privacy practices.

16. Changes to This Policy

Habtam Bet maintains the right to adjust this policy whenever operations, statutes, or systems shift. Significant revisions will be announced via email or prominent banners on our site. Continued use after updates signifies your agreement with the revised version. Periodic review is encouraged. The latest revision date is posted at the page's conclusion.
