Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data betfredapp.co.za collects, how we use it, and the rights you have under South African and international privacy laws. By using this website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Last updated: 26 September 2026

1. Who We Are

Betfredapp.co.za is an independent guide website providing information about the Betfred Android App and other betting apps available in South Africa. We are not affiliated with Betfred SA or any other betting operator. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the betfredapp.co.za website.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data to operate and improve this website. We do not collect personal data unless you voluntarily provide it. The data we may process includes:

2.1 Analytics Data (with consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. GA4 collects anonymised, aggregated data such as:

  • Page views and time spent on pages
  • Approximate geographic location (country and city level, derived from IP address)
  • Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet) and browser information
  • Referrer source (how you arrived at our website)
  • APK download link clicks (to measure guide effectiveness)

Analytics data is only collected after you grant consent via our cookie consent banner. If you decline, no GA4 cookies are set and no analytics data is collected. You can still use the website fully without granting consent.

2.2 Technical Data

Our web server and Cloudflare (our CDN provider) may automatically log standard technical data including IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user agent string. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and service operation — not for tracking or profiling individual users.

2.3 What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect or process:

  • Names, surnames, or other direct identifiers
  • Email addresses (unless you contact us directly)
  • Phone numbers
  • Banking or financial information
  • Betting account details
  • Government ID numbers

We do not operate a user registration system. You cannot create an account on this website, and we have no user database.

3. Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. We categorise our cookies as follows:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They include:

  • Consent preference: Stored in your browser's localStorage to remember whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. This ensures we do not show the consent banner again after you have made your choice.

Essential cookies do not require consent and are set automatically.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (optional)

These cookies are set by Google Analytics 4 only after you click "Allow analytics" on our consent banner. They include:

  • _ga: Distinguishes unique users. Expires after 2 years.
  • _ga_<container-id>: Session state cookie. Expires after 2 years.

If you decline analytics cookies, these cookies are never set. If you previously accepted and change your mind, you can clear your browser cookies and localStorage to remove them, then reload the page to see the consent banner again.

3.3 Cookie Management

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics processes anonymised usage data to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. Google is a data processor under our instructions. GA4 data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy practices. You can review Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. Google Analytics cookies are only activated after you grant consent.

4.2 Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides content delivery network (CDN) and security services for this website. Cloudflare may process IP addresses and request metadata for security and performance purposes. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy. Cloudflare does not use data from this website for advertising.

4.3 No Other Third Parties

We do not share data with advertising networks, social media platforms, data brokers, or any other third parties. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or remarketing tags on this website.

5. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Google Analytics data: GA4 retains user-level data for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Aggregate, anonymised reports may be retained longer.
  • Server and CDN logs: Log data from our web server and Cloudflare is retained for up to 30 days for security and troubleshooting, then automatically purged.
  • Consent preferences: Stored in your browser's localStorage until you clear browser data. We do not retain consent records server-side.

6. Your Rights

6.1 POPIA (South Africa)

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) gives South African data subjects certain rights regarding their personal information. Since we do not collect personal information (as defined by POPIA) through this website, most POPIA rights are not directly applicable. However, you have the right to:

  • Request information about what data we process
  • Object to processing of your data
  • Withdraw consent for analytics processing at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator

The Information Regulator of South Africa can be contacted at [email protected] or 012 406 2590.

6.2 GDPR (European Union)

If you are visiting from the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. Under GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability. Since we do not collect personal data from EU visitors through this website, these rights are limited in application. You may contact us to exercise any applicable rights.

6.3 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your privacy rights, or if you have questions about how we handle data, contact us using the details in Section 8 below. We will respond to legitimate requests within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for persons 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect any data from individuals under 18. Gambling is illegal for minors in South Africa, and this website does not target or appeal to children. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Contact for Privacy Queries

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, you can contact us by:

  • Email: Send your query to the email address listed on our website's contact page
  • This website does not operate a physical office or telephone support line for privacy queries

We are committed to resolving privacy concerns promptly and transparently.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Updates take effect immediately upon publication on this page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically. Significant changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any data we process. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all website traffic, secure configuration of our CDN and web server, and minimal data collection practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International Data Transfers

Google Analytics and Cloudflare process data in various global locations. Google and Cloudflare both maintain data processing agreements and safeguards for international transfers in compliance with applicable privacy laws. If you are concerned about international data transfers, you can decline analytics cookies to prevent GA4 processing entirely.

12. Summary

In short: we collect almost no data. We use Google Analytics only with your consent. We do not have user accounts, do not sell data, and do not run advertising. You can use this website fully without granting any analytics consent. If you have any questions, we are happy to answer them.
