Privacy Policy: What This Independent 21bet Information Site Does With Your Data
Advertisement: This page may contain partner links and is intended for adults aged 18+ only.
This Privacy Policy explains how the independent information site about 21bet and 21 Casino — hosted at 21bet-zambia.com — handles data from readers in Zambia. This site is not operated by the 21 Casino or 21bet operator; the operator's own privacy notice governs any betting account you may hold with them. This policy covers what happens when you visit these pages, interact with cookies and analytics, or send us a message through the contact form. No betting accounts are held or managed here. Last updated: confirm the date in the site footer. Data controller: confirm the controller's name and details in the site footer.

This summary does not replace the full sections that follow. Please read on for the complete picture.
What Information We Collect on This Site, and What We Never Ask For
When you browse this site, certain data is collected automatically by the server and any analytics tools in use. If you contact us, you share additional information voluntarily. Below is a clear breakdown of the types of personal data involved and what we deliberately avoid collecting.
- Automatic data: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time of visit and referring page.
- Cookie and analytics data: set only as listed in the cookie table below, subject to your choice where consent is required.
- Messages you send us: your name or nickname, e-mail address and the content of your message.
- Consent record: your cookie choice and the date you made it.
- Never requested: passwords, PINs, one-time codes, card numbers, ID documents or wallet details. If you include any of these by mistake, contact us immediately so we can delete them.
We encourage you never to send sensitive credentials through any contact form or e-mail to this site.
Cookies and Analytics: What May Run in Your Browser
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device to remember information about your visit. This site may use cookies and similar technologies in the categories listed below. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings or through a cookie consent banner, if one is provided on the site. Blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
| Cookie or tool category | What it is used for | How you can control it |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Remembers basics such as your cookie choice and keeps the site working — confirm the specific cookies in the site's consent settings | Cannot be switched off within the site; you can block it in your browser, but parts of the site may not work |
| Preferences | Remembers settings such as language or layout, if used — confirm in the site's consent settings | Delete in the browser or change in the consent settings |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which pages are useful, in aggregate — confirm the specific tool name in the site's consent settings | Opt out through the consent banner, if provided, or via your browser's privacy controls |
| Affiliate or referral tracking | Records that a visit came from this site if you follow an outbound link — applies because this site earns commission | Clear cookies in your browser; consent where required — confirm in the consent settings |
| Embedded content | Lets a third party display content such as a video or map on a page, if used — confirm in the site's consent settings | Block third-party cookies in the browser or choose not to load embedded content |
| Contact form data | Used only to answer your message, not for advertising | Ask us to delete it using the contact details at the end of this policy |
Review the consent banner or your browser's cookie list for the exact names and expiry periods of each cookie in use.
Our Reasons for Using Data, in Everyday Words
Every piece of data we process has a stated purpose. Here are the main ones, alongside the legal basis that may apply — the site owner should confirm these against the applicable law:
- Running and securing the site: keeping pages available and detecting abuse — likely based on legitimate interest.
- Understanding which pages help Zambian readers: aggregate analytics to improve content — likely based on legitimate interest or consent, depending on the tool.
- Answering messages: replying when you write to us — based on your request.
- Meeting legal duties: retaining records if the law requires — based on legal obligation.
- Displaying the advertising label: showing the disclosure required because the site earns commission.
No automated decisions are made about you, and this site does not build profiles for betting offers or marketing by the operator.
Who Else Sees the Data: Hosting, Analytics and the Links That Leave This Site
A small number of third parties may process data on our behalf. These include the hosting provider, the analytics service and the e-mail service used to handle contact messages — confirm the specific provider names in the site footer or consent settings. Each provider is bound by a data-processing agreement.
Some of these providers may be located outside Zambia. Where that is the case, appropriate safeguards should be in place — see the section on international transfers below.
Outbound links, including links to the 21bet or 21 Casino operator's site, take you to platforms with their own privacy rules. Once you leave this site, this privacy policy no longer applies. We do not sell your data, and we do not forward your contact messages to the operator unless you specifically ask us to do so.
How Long We Keep Data, and Why
Data is retained only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected. The indicative periods below are placeholders that the site owner must confirm. Legal obligations may extend data retention beyond these periods. You may request data deletion at any time, unless the law requires us to keep certain records.
| Type of data | Indicative retention — confirm with the site owner | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Server and security logs | Confirm the exact period — typically 30 to 90 days | Detect abuse and keep the site secure |
| Analytics statistics | Confirm the exact period — typically up to 14 to 26 months | Understand which pages readers find useful |
| Contact messages | Confirm the exact period — typically 12 months after the case closes | Answer follow-up questions and keep a record of corrections |
| Cookie consent record | Confirm the exact period — typically 6 to 12 months, or until you change your choice | Show that a choice was made |
| Correction and complaint records | Confirm the exact period — typically up to 24 months | Prove how an issue was handled |
Once the retention period expires and no legal obligation applies, data is deleted or anonymised.
What You Can Ask of Us: Access, Fixes and Deletion, With Zambian Law as Background
Zambia's Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 is the national legislation you should check for rights relating to your personal data. The Act may grant rights such as the right to access the data held about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, the right to request deletion, and the right to object to certain processing. Check the current text of the Act and the name of the responsible data protection authority against the official source, as the regulatory framework may have been updated.
To exercise any of these rights, write to the contact address provided at the end of this policy. Include enough detail for us to locate your data — for instance, the e-mail address you used to contact us. We may ask for reasonable proof of identity to protect your information. We aim to reply within a reasonable time, as confirmed by the site owner.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to complain to the data protection authority — confirm the authority's current name and contact details against the official source.
Children, Security and Data Sent Abroad
Children and 18+: This site is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us personal data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
Security measures: We use reasonable precautions such as encryption in transit (HTTPS) and limited access to stored data — the site owner should confirm the full list of measures in place. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
International transfers: Some service providers may process data outside Zambia. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be described by the site owner. Check the transfer rules under the Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 against the official source.
If This Policy Changes, and Where to Send a Privacy Question
If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of the page and may place a notice on the site. We encourage you to revisit this page from time to time.
Contact for privacy questions: confirm the e-mail address and, if applicable, the postal or registered address in the site footer. Please do not include passwords, PINs or ID documents in any message.
For anything related to a 21bet or 21 Casino betting account — deposits, withdrawals, verification or account closure — contact the operator directly through their own support channels. This independent site cannot help with operator account matters.
Conclusion: Little Data Kept, Clear Purposes, and a Simple Way to Ask Us Anything
This site collects minimal data, uses it for clear and stated purposes, and never sells your personal data. Your rights — including access, correction and deletion — are respected, and a contact channel is always available. You may change your cookie choices at any time through your browser or the consent banner. This privacy policy is here to keep things transparent for every reader.
Remember: this site is for adults aged 18+. If you choose to visit any gambling platform, please gamble responsibly and set personal limits you can afford.
Cookies, Deletion and Messages: Answers With a Tip
Do I have to click accept on the cookie banner to read these pages?
You can generally browse the site without accepting non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may still run to keep the site functional, but analytics and tracking cookies should depend on your choice where consent is required. Your browser settings give you an additional layer of control over all cookies.
Tip: Open your browser's privacy settings and review which cookies are active on any site you visit.
What should I do if I sent a password or an ID photo to this site by mistake?
Write to the contact address immediately and ask for the message to be deleted. This site never asks for passwords, PINs, one-time codes or identity documents. If a password or code was shared, change it straight away with the relevant provider to protect your account.
Tip: Change the compromised password before you do anything else — speed matters here.
Will my message be passed on to the 21bet operator?
No. Messages sent through this site are used only to answer your question and are not forwarded to the 21bet or 21 Casino operator unless you specifically ask us to do so. If you have a problem with a betting account, you need to contact the operator directly through their own support channels.
Tip: Look for the operator's official contact details on their own website, not on third-party pages.
How do I ask you to delete the data you hold about me?
Send a data deletion request to the contact address listed at the end of this policy. State clearly what you want deleted and provide details that help us locate your data, such as the e-mail address you used. We may ask for reasonable proof of identity. Note that some records may need to be retained if the law requires it.
Tip: Include the e-mail address you originally used so we can find your records quickly.
Does the Zambian data protection law apply to a small information site like this?
The Data Protection Act No. 3 of 2021 is the national law that may apply to any organisation processing personal data of people in Zambia, regardless of the organisation's size. The site owner should confirm scope, registration duties and specific rights by consulting the official text of the Act or seeking professional advice.
Tip: Read the full text of the Act on the Zambian government's official legal portal for the most current version.
Do the links to the operator's site track me?
Outbound links may carry a referral marker because this site earns commission. Once you arrive on the operator's site, the operator's own cookies and privacy rules apply — this policy no longer covers your data. You can use your browser's privacy controls to clear referral information and review the operator's own privacy notice.
Tip: Use your browser's private or incognito mode if you prefer not to carry referral data across sites.
