Privacy Policy — Betway Ghana Insider
This policy explains, in plain language, what a small independent review site actually does with the handful of data points it touches when you read it. We have kept it deliberately short and concrete, because our data footprint is small and we would rather you finish it than skim it. If a single sentence here matters to you, it is this one: we run an editorial guide, not a betting account, so almost nothing about you passes through us at all.
Who we are
Betway Ghana Insider is an independent editorial review site. Editorial run by Abena Asante. We are not Betway and we are not affiliated with the operator beyond a standard affiliate-link relationship. That distinction is the backbone of this whole page: because we are a publisher and not the operator, we never see, hold, or process the account information a bettor gives to Betway. When you register, deposit, verify your identity, or place a bet, you are doing that on Betway's own platform under Betway's own privacy terms — none of it routes through this website.
Practically, that means two different privacy relationships exist and you should keep them separate in your mind. The first is between you and this guide, and it is the one this document governs. The second is between you and the operator once you leave us to sign up, and that one is governed by the operator's own policy, which you should read on their site. We can only speak for the first relationship, and this page is the full extent of it.
What data this site collects
Very little. The site runs as a static WordPress install on a single VPS. We collect:
- Anonymous traffic data via Google Analytics 4 — page views, country, device class, referrer. No personally identifying information is captured by us beyond what Google Analytics records.
- Server access logs kept by the web server for security and abuse-prevention purposes — IP address, request path, timestamp. Rotated after 30 days.
- Affiliate-click events — when a reader clicks the operator-CTA link and is routed through our /go/ first-party redirect, we log the click and the source page in Google Analytics 4 for editorial measurement.
It helps to understand why each of those three items exists, because none of it is collected for its own sake. The traffic data in Google Analytics 4 tells us, in aggregate, which guides people actually read and which ones fall flat — that is how we decide what to update and what to rewrite. It is reported at the level of a country and a device class, not a named person; we look at "how many readers in Ghana opened the payments guide this week," never at who they are. The server access logs are the ordinary record every web server keeps so that, if the site is attacked or abused, there is a short-lived trail to investigate. Because their only job is security, they are rotated after 30 days and not mined for anything else. The affiliate-click events simply let us see how many readers followed a call-to-action; that count is what an affiliate publisher is measured on, and it is logged through our own first-party /go/ redirect rather than by handing you off to a third-party tracker first.
We do not collect: account credentials, MoMo wallet numbers, KYC document images, payment details. We have no operator-side access to any reader’s Betway account. There is no login on this site, no registration form, no newsletter capture, and no field anywhere on these pages that asks you to type a password, a phone number, a card number, or an identity document. If a page ever appears to ask you for any of that, it is not us — it belongs to a destination you have already clicked through to.
This site has no operator-side access to any reader’s Betway account — no balances, no bet history, no KYC documents. The reader’s account data sits entirely with the operator.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store so it can recognise the same browser across page loads. On this site cookies do a narrow job, and there are only a few of them:
- Google Analytics 4 cookies for traffic measurement.
- Standard WordPress session cookies during commenting (if comments are enabled — they currently are not).
- No third-party advertising cookies. We do not run ads.
The important point is the last one. Because we do not sell advertising, there is no advertising-network code on these pages and therefore none of the cross-site tracking cookies that advertising usually brings with it. The analytics cookies exist only so that the aggregate counts described above are not badly distorted — for example, so that one person reloading a page five times is not counted as five different readers. The WordPress session cookies listed above are a standard part of the software and would only ever be set during commenting, which is switched off at the moment, so in ordinary reading you will not encounter them at all.
Controlling cookies and opting out
You are always in control of the cookies described above, and you do not need to ask us to exercise that control. Every mainstream browser lets you view the cookies a site has set, delete them, block them for a specific site, or block them across the board — the option usually sits under a "Privacy" or "Cookies and site data" heading in your browser settings. Clearing this site's cookies removes the small analytics identifier; blocking them stops it being set in the first place. Doing either has no effect on your ability to read the guides, because none of our content is gated behind a cookie.
If you would rather not appear in the aggregate analytics at all, using your browser's private or incognito mode, declining or clearing cookies, or using the analytics and tracking controls your browser already provides will keep you out of the measured totals. Because we load no advertising code, there is nothing further to opt out of on the advertising side — that category simply does not apply here.
Affiliate relationships
When a reader clicks the operator-CTA link and registers, we earn a commission. This is the standard affiliate model. The commission does not change the editorial — see about us. We do not sell aggregated reader data to third parties.
Two things follow from how that model works, and both are relevant to your privacy. First, the commission is triggered by the operator recognising a referral, not by us handing over anything about you; we do not need, and do not receive, your name or account details for the arrangement to function. Second, the outbound call-to-action links on this site are routed through our own /go/ redirect so that the click is measured on our own infrastructure before you are passed to the operator. That redirect is a counting step, not a profiling step — it records that a click happened and which page it came from, which is exactly the affiliate-click measurement already described in the collection section above.
Who your data is shared with
We do not sell, rent, or trade reader data, and we do not build or hand out profiles of individual readers. The only parties involved in the small amount of data described here are the ones structurally required to serve a website: the analytics platform we have already named, Google Analytics 4, which processes the aggregate traffic measurement; and the hosting environment the site itself runs on, which is where the short-lived server access logs are generated. Beyond those, no additional third party receives reader data from us. If that ever changed, this section is where it would be described — we would not add a new recipient quietly.
How long data is kept
The clearest retention figure on this site is the one already stated: server access logs are rotated after 30 days, which means the security trail is short by design and is not archived for the long term. The aggregate analytics measurement is retained within Google Analytics 4 under that platform's own settings and controls; because it is reported at the level of countries and device classes rather than named individuals, it is not a store of personal profiles. Where a piece of data no longer serves the narrow purpose it was collected for — security, or understanding which guides are read — it is not something we have a reason to keep.
Your rights under Ghana data protection law
- Right of access to data we hold about you (in practice: minimal, and almost entirely anonymous traffic data).
- Right to request correction or deletion.
- Right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission of Ghana.
These rights are worth reading alongside the reality of what we actually hold, because that reality shapes how each one plays out. A right of access, exercised against a site like this, will in practice return very little — there is no account, no saved profile, and the traffic data is aggregated and anonymous rather than a file with your name on it. A request for correction or deletion is similarly narrow in scope, since the main personal-ish data point is a short-lived server log entry that rotates out after 30 days on its own. And the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission of Ghana sits above all of this as an external check: if you believe a Ghana-based site has mishandled your data, that is the body you can escalate to, independently of us.
Age and responsible use
This is a guide about a gambling operator, and its content is intended for adults of legal betting age only. We do not knowingly direct our content at, or knowingly collect data from, anyone under the legal age to gamble in Ghana. Gambling can be addictive; the operator is licensed by the Gaming Commission of Ghana, and reader-facing responsible-gambling information and helpline details appear in the site footer. Nothing on this page, and nothing about how we measure traffic, is designed for or aimed at minors.
Changes to this policy
If our data practices change — for instance, if we ever added a new measurement tool or enabled a feature such as commenting that sets additional cookies — we would update this page to describe it before or as the change takes effect, rather than after the fact. The date shown at the top of this policy reflects when it was last set out. Because our footprint is intentionally small, we expect changes here to be infrequent, but the current version of this page is always the authoritative one.
Contact
For privacy queries: contact via the editorial inbox listed on the about page. That is the right route for any request under the rights described above, any question about the data points listed here, or anything about this policy that you would like clarified. Because we are an independent guide and not the operator, please note that questions about your actual Betway account — balances, verification, deposits, or withdrawals — need to go to the operator directly; those are the details we have no access to and cannot act on for you.
