Privacy Policy

Data we collect and why

This site collects data in two ways. First, standard server logs: when you visit any page, your browser automatically sends your IP address, browser type, referring URL and the page requested. This data is retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes and is not linked to individual identities.

Second, analytics: we use privacy-focused analytics to count page visits and understand which content is most useful. Aggregate traffic data — total page views, country of origin, device type — is collected without tracking individual users across sessions or building personal profiles. No cookies requiring consent are set for analytics purposes.

We do not collect names, email addresses or payment details. If you contact us by email at info@dashbetethiopia.org, we retain your message and email address solely to respond to your enquiry and delete it within 90 days of the conversation ending.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

Some links on this site are affiliate links that redirect to the DashBet Ethiopia partner platform. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie may be set by the destination platform — not by this site — to track whether a registration or deposit occurs. That cookie is governed by the destination platform's own privacy policy, not this one. We have no access to data collected by third-party platforms after you leave this site.

This site may also load resources from third-party CDNs for fonts or scripts. These services may log your IP address as part of standard CDN operation. We use CDN providers that do not build user profiles from this data.

Your rights

You have the right to request what personal data this site holds about you, to request its deletion and to object to its processing. Because we do not collect named personal data through normal site use, most requests will confirm that no personally identifiable data is held. Email address data retained from direct contact can be deleted on request. To exercise any of these rights, contact info@dashbetethiopia.org. We will respond within 14 days.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site's data practices change. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Material changes — such as adding new analytics tools or affiliate tracking methods — will be noted in the update date and described clearly in the relevant section above.
