Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the website easybet.review (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”), which is owned and operated by Brandon Kingsley. It governs the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information submitted or collected via the Website from users residing in South Africa, in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (POPIA) as well as other applicable South African privacy laws. By accessing and using the Website, you accept and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy is designed to ensure transparency regarding how we handle your personal data and the rights you hold in relation to your information.
This Privacy Policy covers all user interactions with easybet.review, including participation in forums, subscribing to newsletters, submitting reviews, requesting guides, and any other activities that involve the provision or collection of personal information. Regardless of your method of access, whether through a desktop, laptop, mobile device, or any other technology, your use of this Website is encompassed by this policy. Our commitment is to provide clear information regarding the treatment of your data, the safeguards we have in place, and your ability to make informed choices regarding your privacy.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to remain compliant with changes in regulation or our business processes. Any changes will be effective upon posting on this page. Therefore, it is recommended that users periodically review this policy for the latest information pertaining to our privacy practices. Your continued use of the Website after any updates constitutes your acceptance of such modifications.
Collection of Personal Information
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when interacting with the Website, such as when you submit inquiries, subscribe to updates, post reviews, participate in surveys, or communicate through email. Examples of personal information can include your name, email address, date of birth, contact details, postal address, and particulars related to your usage of the Website. In certain cases, we may also collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, and browsing actions.
Personal information may also be collected automatically through cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, analyze site usage, and enable core Website features. Such data encompasses anonymous statistics, clickstream data, and preferences. Any information you provide through public sections, such as the comments or forum sections, will be visible to other users and may be collected, stored, and used by third parties. We caution users against sharing sensitive or confidential information in these public areas.
We ensure that all personal data collected is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed, in line with the data minimization principle of the POPIA. Where collection of information is not obligatory, you may elect not to provide certain data; however, this may affect your ability to use certain Website features.
Use and Processing of Personal Information
The personal information we collect is primarily used to deliver and improve our services, respond to user requests, process user submissions, provide customer support, communicate with users about updates and offers, and personalize your experience on the Website. Additionally, we use data to conduct analysis, aggregate statistics, maintain the safety and security of the site, prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activities, and fulfill legal and regulatory obligations.
Personal information is processed based on your consent (such as when you subscribe to newsletters), to fulfill contractual obligations, to comply with legal requirements, or to pursue legitimate interests such as improving the usability, content, and security of the Website. All processing activities adhere to the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, and accountability as set forth under South African law, specifically the POPIA.
We may process your information through automated means for certain services, such as profiling for personalized recommendations; however, we do not engage in automated decision-making that has legal or significant effects without human intervention. Any processing conducted by third parties engaged by us, such as hosting providers or technical support vendors, will occur in accordance with this policy and applicable data protection conventions, with contractually mandated safeguards to protect user privacy.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell, lease, or trade personal information with third parties for remuneration. We may disclose your personal information to trusted service providers, partners, or affiliates only to facilitate the provision of Website services, subject to confidentiality agreements and strict compliance with applicable data protection obligations. Such disclosures are limited to what is strictly necessary for operational purposes, technical support, analytics, or email communications.
Your personal information may also be disclosed if required by South African law, such as in response to lawful requests by public authorities, court orders, or legal proceedings, or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to enforce our rights, protect the safety of our users or the public, investigate fraud, or respond to government requests. In any event, all disclosures are conducted with due respect to your privacy and the minimum required to comply with applicable legal requirements.
Should there be a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, with continued adherence to the commitments outlined in this Privacy Policy. You will be duly informed in the event of such occurrences, with the opportunity to inquire regarding any changes that might impact your personal information.
Protection and Storage of Personal Information
We implement appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information collected via the Website. These safeguards include, but are not limited to, encryption, secure servers, regular security reviews, access controls, and staff training to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data.
Personal data will be stored only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as mandated by applicable law and regulations. Retention periods are determined based on legal requirements, the nature of the information, and our operational needs. When personal data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized. All data storage complies with applicable records management obligations in South African law.
While we employ proactive measures to protect your data, no electronic transmission or digital storage system is completely secure. Accordingly, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute data security. We encourage users to maintain secure passwords and report any suspected security breaches promptly so that adequate remedies may be implemented.
User Rights and Choices
In compliance with the POPIA and other relevant laws, you have specific rights with respect to your personal information. These include the right to access, correct, update, or delete the personal data we hold about you. You may also have the right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent), to object to or restrict processing of your information for specific purposes, and to lodge complaints with applicable regulatory authorities.
Users wishing to exercise any of these rights or seeking information regarding our data practices are encouraged to contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all legitimate inquiries and requests promptly, in accordance with legal requirements. Please note that to protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
If you no longer wish to receive communications from us, such as newsletters or promotional mailings, you may opt-out at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism included in our communications or by contacting us directly at the provided address or email.
Children’s Privacy
The Website and its services are intended for use only by individuals who are at least 18 years old or of legal betting age in South Africa.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child or an individual under the requisite legal age, we will take immediate steps to delete such data from our records.
We encourage parents or guardians to supervise and participate in their children's online activities and to instruct minors not to provide personal information through the Website without their appropriate consent. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to us without consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] for prompt removal of such data.
International Transfers of Personal Data
Although the Website is targeted at users in South Africa, by using our services you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be stored or processed outside South Africa. When such cross-border data transfers occur, we ensure compliance with applicable South African legal requirements and implement contractual or other legally endorsed safeguards to maintain the protection of your information consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We take all reasonable steps to select service providers who demonstrate a high standard of privacy and security practices, ensuring that your information remains subject to adequate and enforceable data protection measures irrespective of the jurisdiction in which it is processed or stored.
