All personal information collected by Linebet is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. Data is used only for the purposes for which it was collected or for compatible purposes that users would reasonably expect.

How Personal Data Is Used

• Account management: Personal information is used to register, verify, and maintain user accounts on the platform.
• Transaction processing: Financial data is used to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and the settlement of bets and winnings.
• Service improvement: Aggregated and anonymised data is used to analyse platform performance, identify technical issues, and improve the overall user experience.
• Marketing communications: Where users have provided explicit consent, personal data may be used to send promotional offers, updates, and relevant information about available services. Users may withdraw this consent at any time.
• Analytics: Behavioural and usage data is analysed to understand how the platform is used, enabling more relevant and efficient service delivery.
• Regulatory compliance: Personal data is processed as required by Nigerian law and applicable international standards, including obligations related to anti-money laundering, fraud prevention, and responsible gambling.

Principles Governing Data Use

• Data is collected only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.
• Personal information is not sold to third parties for commercial gain.
• Processing activities are documented and reviewed in line with applicable data protection requirements.
• Users are informed of any material changes to the way their data is used.

Accessing and Updating Personal Data

Users may request access to the personal information held about them at any time. This includes the right to review what data has been collected, for what purpose, and how it is being processed. Requests for access should be submitted through the designated support channels available on the platform.

If any personal information on file is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, users have the right to request a correction. Linebet will process such requests within a reasonable timeframe, in line with applicable data protection obligations.

Requesting Deletion of Personal Data

Users may request the deletion of their personal data. However, certain information may be retained where Linebet is required to do so by law, for example, to fulfil anti-money laundering obligations or to resolve ongoing disputes. Where deletion is not immediately possible due to legal requirements, users will be informed accordingly.

Consent to Security and Payment Processing

By registering and using the platform, users acknowledge and consent to the following:

• Their personal and financial information may be subject to identity verification and security checks conducted by Linebet or its authorised service providers.
• Payment data, including card details and bank account information, may be processed by third-party payment providers engaged to facilitate transactions on the platform.
• These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use personal data only for the purposes for which it was shared.

Linebet operates exclusively as an adult platform. Access to the website and all associated services is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, in accordance with Nigerian gambling laws and responsible gaming standards.

Age Verification Limitations

While Linebet takes reasonable steps to verify the age of its users during the registration and KYC processes, the platform acknowledges that it is not always possible to confirm a user’s true age without the submission of valid identity documents. Users are required to provide accurate information during registration, and any attempt to misrepresent age constitutes a breach of the platform’s terms and conditions.

Handling of Data Belonging to Minors

If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that a child under the age of 18 has registered on the platform or submitted personal information without authorisation, they are encouraged to contact Linebet immediately through the official support channels.

Upon receiving a verified request from a parent or guardian, Linebet will:

• Promptly investigate the matter
• Suspend or close the account in question
• Delete all personal data associated with the minor from its systems, to the extent permitted by applicable law

Linebet does not knowingly collect or retain personal information from individuals under the age of 18.

Linebet operates in partnership with various service providers and third-party organisations located in different countries. As a result, personal data collected from Nigerian users may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions outside Nigeria where these partners conduct their operations.

Basis for International Transfers

By accessing and using the platform, users acknowledge and consent to the potential transfer of their personal data to countries other than Nigeria. Such transfers are carried out only where necessary for the provision of services and in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

Confidentiality Assurances

Linebet takes appropriate steps to ensure that all international partners and service providers who handle personal data are contractually obligated to:

• Maintain the confidentiality of all personal information received
• Process personal data only for the specific purposes for which it was shared
• Apply adequate technical and organisational security measures
• Comply with data protection requirements equivalent to those applicable under Nigerian law

Users who do not consent to the international transfer of their personal data should refrain from using the platform.
