THE MANIFESTO: You are not a player. You are the Architect.
This document outlines the practices and principles of 1win Kenya concerning the use of small digital storage files, widely known as "cookies" and similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Data Files”). By using the 1Win Kenya platform, you agree to the use of these files as detailed below. This usage is vital for both your security and our obligation to comply with Kenyan law.
⚙️ The Role and Necessity of Data Files
Data Files are tiny scripts placed on your computer or mobile device. They perform several critically important functions:
- 🛡️ Security Assurance: They maintain the reliability of login sessions and remember application state.
- ⚖️ Compliance with Laws and Licensing Requirements: They help us confirm your identity and location, which is a mandatory requirement of the Kenyan Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB).
- 🚀 Experience Enhancement: By collecting anonymized data, we continuously work on improving the speed, stability, and usability of our interface.
🗃️ Categorization of the Files We Use
We divide our Data Files into four main groups, each with a specific purpose:
Core Security Files (Mandatory)
These files are the technological foundation of our service, ensuring its legal and secure operation.
- Purpose: User authentication, fraud prevention, and necessary geo-verification to confirm that wagers are placed from within the territory of Kenya.
- Control: They cannot be disabled. Blocking these files will make it impossible to access your account or place any wagers, as it compromises the integrity of the platform and legal compliance.
Functional Preference Files
These are created exclusively for your convenience, retaining your personal preferences.
- Purpose: Remembering display settings (e.g., odds format), your chosen interface language, and favorite teams/markets to reduce repetitive actions.
Analytics and Performance Files
We use these to evaluate the efficiency and speed of our technology. The data collected is aggregated and anonymous.
- Purpose: Monitoring page load times, identifying popular site sections, and detecting system errors for quick fixes and optimization.
Promotional and Targeting Files
These are applied for personalized communications and campaign management.
- Purpose: Allowing us to display relevant 1Win Kenya offers and promotions on external resources you visit, and helping us track the effectiveness of those campaigns.
🛠️ Management of Data Files on Your Device
You have the ability to manage most of the Data Files used, both through our platform and via your device settings.
- On-Platform Consent Tool: A settings banner appears on the 1Win Kenya website, allowing you to grant or revoke consent for Functional, Analytics, and Promotional files. You can change this decision anytime via a link in the site's footer.
- Browser Control: In your internet browser settings, you can decline all third-party files or receive a notification before they are saved. Note that blocking all files will significantly impair the functionality of most websites.
- Mobile Device Identifiers: For app users, the device's operating system (usually in the "Privacy" section) provides tools to restrict the use of its unique advertising identifier for targeted promotions.
Mobile Application Security Specifics
The 1Win mobile application relies on a persistent Device ID for security purposes. This unique identifier acts as a continuous digital signature, which is a critical measure against users attempting to create multiple accounts or engaging in fraudulent activities that violate our Terms and Conditions.
FAQ
Absolutely not. Data Files only store technical information and secure session tokens necessary for login. All financial data is held on our encrypted, central servers. Location verification is a legal mandate from the BCLB, ensuring that we only offer services to users within the legally permitted territory of Kenya. No. Your betting records, account history, and fund balances are maintained securely on our remote servers. Deleting local files only removes customization preferences. Yes. You must use both our on-site consent tool to disable Promotional files, and also use the "Opt-out of Ads Personalization" feature in your mobile device settings. If you block the Core Security Files, you will be automatically logged out and prevented from initiating any transactions, as the platform cannot confirm your identity or ensure security.Do these data files track my bank account details?
