Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

SA Football Bets (safootballbets.co.za) is an independent editorial website providing football betting analysis and bookmaker comparisons for South African adults aged 18 and older. We are not a licensed bookmaker and do not accept bets. For enquiries contact: [email protected].

2. Information we collect

This site does not require registration or collect personal information directly. However, we use third-party services that may collect certain data automatically:

• Analytics: We may use Vercel Analytics or similar tools to collect anonymised page-view statistics (page URL, referrer, country, browser type). No personally identifiable information is stored.
• Affiliate links: When you click a bookmaker link, you are redirected to a third-party site. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies and may set cookies on your device.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically records IP addresses and request metadata as standard infrastructure logs.

3. Cookies

SA Football Bets itself does not set first-party cookies, with the exception of a sf_visits localStorage key used solely to determine when to show the app install banner. No personal data is stored. Third-party bookmakers and analytics tools may set cookies when you follow outbound links. You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.

4. Affiliate disclosure

This website earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with licensed South African bookmakers. When you click a "Bet now" or "Visit" link and register, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our editorial opinions or the order in which bookmakers are ranked. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in our HTML.

5. How we use information

Anonymised analytics data is used solely to improve the site. We do not:

• Sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
• Send marketing emails (we have no mailing list).
• Build individual user profiles.

6. POPIA compliance

We comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA). As we collect no personal information directly, POPIA obligations are minimal. If you believe any personal information about you has been inadvertently collected, you have the right to request its correction or deletion by emailing [email protected].

7. Third-party links

Our site contains links to external bookmaker websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before registering or depositing funds.

8. Children

This site is strictly for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect any information from persons under 18.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Contact

For any privacy-related questions or to exercise your rights under POPIA, contact us at [email protected].

11. AI-generated editorial content

All content is editorial opinion provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute professional gambling advice, financial advice, or a regulated recommendation to place any bet.
