Privacy matters before you create an account, submit an identity document, make a payment, or place a bet. This Zufan Bet Privacy Policy describes how Zufan Bet collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares information connected with its website, mobile services, app, account functions, betting products, games, Keno, bonuses, payments, support channels, and user communications. In short, we collect information needed to operate services securely, use it for legitimate operational and compliance purposes, and welcome privacy enquiries through Contact Us.
“Personal data” means information that can identify you directly or reasonably be connected to you, such as your name, phone number, account details, device information, or transaction record. “Processing” means any action involving that information, including collecting, checking, using, storing, sharing, or deleting it. This privacy policy in Ethiopia is intended to help visitors, registered players, and support contacts understand those actions in plain English.
Who We Are
Zufan Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable rules, eligibility requirements, regional restrictions, and the operator’s terms. Information about the service and operator identification is available on our About Us page. Users may also review License & Regulation and should verify the current licensing and regulatory status through the latest information available from the competent authority.
This policy applies whether you browse from Addis Ababa or another Ethiopian region, use a browser or mobile device, contact support before registration, or hold an active betting account.
Information We Collect
We aim to obtain only the Zufan Bet personal data reasonably needed for lawful, security, operational, consumer protection, and regulatory purposes. Depending on how you use the platform, this may include:
- Account data: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, and password-related security information.
- Identity and verification data: identification documents, age-check results, customer due diligence and KYC requirements, and fraud-prevention information. KYC means “Know Your Customer” checks used to confirm account-holder information and eligibility.
- Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, payment method details, balance history, payment authorization records, bonus activity, transaction limits, and records of transaction.
- Betting and gaming data: bets placed, odds selected, results, live betting activity, Keno activity, game sessions, winnings, and promotion participation.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, app version, cookies, log files, and security events.
- Communication data: emails, chat messages, calls where permitted, complaints, and correspondence with customer support.
- Responsible gaming data: deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, risk indicators, account restrictions, and related support records.
For example, an identity check may be requested when account details need confirmation or before a withdrawal procedure can be completed. The information requested should be relevant to that purpose; users should not submit documents or details that have not been requested through an authorized service channel.
How We Use Personal Data
Zufan Bet data protection practices support the operation of a secure and fair service. Account information may be used to register and manage an account, confirm age eligibility, enable secure login, recover access, and provide customer support. Technical records can help identify unusual login attempts, protect accounts from misuse, and improve the performance of the website or app.
Payment and betting account data may be processed to accept deposits, review payment authorization, process withdrawals, settle bets and winnings, administer bonuses, and maintain accurate financial records. A transaction review, for instance, may compare a withdrawal request with verified account details to reduce unauthorized payment activity.
We may also use information to detect fraud, duplicate accounts, bonus abuse, payment abuse, suspicious betting patterns, or other activity that could affect players or the platform. This does not mean every unusual event is wrongdoing; it allows appropriate checks to be made before a decision is taken.
Other purposes include improving betting, live betting, games, Keno, website navigation, mobile access, and support quality; sending essential service notices; meeting applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, tax, accounting, AML, licensing, and compliance requirements; and applying responsible betting measures. Marketing communications are sent only where allowed, and available opt-out options may be used.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
We handle personal data when it is needed to provide requested services, manage the account relationship, comply with legal obligations, protect the platform and its users, prevent fraud, investigate complaints, resolve disputes, or meet regulatory requirements. Where required, processing may also rely on your consent. The precise lawful reasons can depend on the information involved, the service requested, and applicable data protection and privacy rules.
If you withdraw consent for an optional activity, this will not necessarily affect processing already completed. Certain records may still need to be retained where legal, financial, security, or regulatory obligations apply.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. Similar technologies may record limited technical information. They can keep a session active, remember preferences, support account security, measure traffic, identify performance issues, and assist permitted marketing measurement. They are particularly useful when a player moves between pages during a live event or returns to a secure account area.
For more detail on the available controls and categories of tracking technology, read our Cookie Policy.
Data Sharing
Zufan Bet does not sell personal data as a product. Access may, however, be provided to trusted third parties when necessary to deliver services or meet a legal requirement. These may include payment processors, identity verification providers, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and security tools, customer support systems, professional advisers, auditors, and competent authorities, law enforcement bodies, or courts where disclosure is legally required.
Third-party service providers should receive only the information needed for the relevant service and should be subject to appropriate confidentiality, security, and contractual controls where applicable. Disclosure may also be necessary to protect users, investigate suspected fraud, or enforce platform rules.
International Transfers
Some specialist providers may process data outside Ethiopia, for example where infrastructure, security, payment, or support systems are operated internationally. Where this occurs, transfers should follow applicable legal requirements and use suitable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and processing activity.
Data Storage and Retention
We retain information for no longer than reasonably necessary for account operation, payment processing, record keeping, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, responsible gaming records, and legal or regulatory requirements. Retention periods may differ between account details, transaction records, verification documents, support communications, and security logs.
Closing an account does not always mean all data can be erased immediately. For example, financial records or identity verification information may need to be kept for a period required by compliance requirements or to respond to a complaint-handling procedure.
Security Measures
Zufan Bet account security depends on both platform controls and careful user behaviour. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard personal data, including access controls, secure login systems, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, backups, staff confidentiality obligations, fraud detection, and internal security procedures.
Recommended order of action if you notice unexpected account activity:
- Step 1: Use the official domain and access your account through Zufan Bet login; do not share passwords or verification codes.
- Step 2: Review recent account activity and change credentials if secure access is available.
- Step 3: Contact support promptly through an authorized communication channel and provide only information needed to identify the issue.
No online system can promise absolute security. Players should use a private device where possible, keep login credentials confidential, and check that they are using the official service before entering personal or payment information.
User Rights
Subject to applicable data protection laws, you may have rights to request access to your information, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, or information about how your data is handled. You may also ask about marketing preferences or submit a complaint concerning privacy.
To make a request, use Contact Us and clearly identify the account or communication concerned. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, particularly where disclosure could affect account security. Some requests may be limited when records must be retained for legal, financial, security, fraud-prevention, or regulatory reasons.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Zufan Bet services are intended only for eligible adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from underage users. If a parent, guardian, or user believes that underage information has been submitted, they should contact support without delay. Read the Age Restriction Policy for the applicable age restriction and eligibility rules.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
To support responsible betting measures, we may process activity related to deposit limits, self-exclusion, time or spending controls, support contacts, risk indicators, and account restrictions. Such processing helps apply a player’s request, protect the account holder, and meet applicable platform and compliance requirements. Further information is available in our Responsible Gaming guidance.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This policy works alongside the Terms and Conditions, payment checks, anti-fraud controls, and applicable bonus rules. Before using a Zufan Bet bonus code, placing a wager through Zufan Bet sport betting, or using other products, users should review the relevant terms, transaction limits, processing time, fees where disclosed, and verification conditions. These rules help explain why certain betting account data or payment records may be required.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when services, security practices, legal requirements, or data processing activities change. The current version published on this page applies from the time it is made available. We encourage users to review it periodically, especially before providing new information, using a new payment method, or changing account settings. For questions about Zufan Bet privacy or the handling of Zufan Bet player information, please use our official support channel.
