Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how skyward-game.co.za collects, uses, and protects your personal information. We operate this site in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA) and any applicable regulations set by the Information Regulator of South Africa.

Read this policy carefully. By using this site, you acknowledge that you've read and understood how we handle your data.

Who We Are

skyward-game.co.za is an informational and affiliate website. We publish guides, reviews, and educational content about the Skyward crash game by BetGames. We are not a gambling operator. We do not hold player accounts, process payments, or operate any games. When you click through to operators like HollywoodBets or Betway, you leave our site and enter their platforms, which have their own privacy policies.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you browse the site.

Contact form submissions: your name and email address if you choose to contact us
Newsletter sign-ups: your email address if you opt in
Usage data: pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/city level)
Cookies and tracking data: see our Cookie Policy for full details

We don't collect sensitive personal information such as identity numbers, financial details, or health data. We have no reason to.

Why We Collect It

We use your information only for the purposes it was collected. Specifically:

To respond to your queries or messages
To send newsletters or updates if you've opted in
To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
To comply with legal obligations

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. We don't use it for automated decision-making that affects you in any meaningful way.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Operators

This site contains affiliate links to licensed gambling operators. If you click one of those links and register or deposit on a third-party platform, we may earn a commission. That's how this site is funded. We want to be upfront about that.

Once you leave skyward-game.co.za, we have no control over how those operators collect or use your data. You should read their privacy policies before registering. Both HollywoodBets and Betway are licensed operators in South Africa and are subject to their own regulatory obligations.

Who We Share Your Data With

We may share your data with the following categories of third parties, strictly for the purposes described above:

Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to understand site traffic
Email service providers if you've signed up to a newsletter
Hosting and infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf

Any third party we work with is required to handle your data in a manner consistent with POPIA. We don't share your data with anyone else.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep contact form and newsletter data for as long as it's needed for the purpose it was collected, or until you ask us to delete it. Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months before being anonymised or deleted. We review our data retention practices regularly.

Your Rights Under POPIA

As a South African resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

The right to know what personal information we hold about you
The right to request correction of inaccurate information
The right to request deletion of your information, subject to legal obligations
The right to object to the processing of your information
The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We'll respond within a reasonable time and no later than the period required by law.

Information Regulator

If you believe we've handled your personal information unlawfully, you can contact the Information Regulator of South Africa at [email protected] or visit www.inforegulator.org.za.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we take this seriously and review our practices regularly.

Children

This site is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy
