Welcome to Zeqqat ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We receive your basic profile information from your authentication provider (Google, Telegram, or others) when you sign in. We also aggregate publicly available sports data and statistics from third-party providers to power our research tools. We do not receive any data from betting operators about your betting activity.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Authenticate your identity and manage your account
• Save and execute your custom betting research strategies
• Generate anonymized, aggregated analytics to improve the platform
• Communicate with you about updates, security alerts, and support
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in these circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, error tracking), bound by confidentiality agreements
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request
• Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or ourselves

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from functioning.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, accounting, or security purposes. Anonymized and aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely.

7. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure database access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability (receive your data in a structured format)
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed on servers located outside of Kenya. Where we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
