Children and Age Restrictions
The services are intended for adults aged 18 years and above, as required by the laws and regulations of Ghana. The operator cannot confirm age without identity documents and may request verification at any time. If a minor’s information is discovered, the account will be closed and personal data will be deleted where the law allows and after necessary retention. A parent or legal guardian can contact support to request deletion for a minor; verification of the requester’s authority will be required.
Transfers of Data Outside Ghana
Personal data may be stored or processed in other countries where service partners, payment providers, or cloud platforms operate. By using 1win, the user consents to these international transfers as needed to deliver the services. Safeguards are applied, including contractual protections and confidentiality commitments, to protect the information in any location. Partners are required to handle data securely and only for agreed purposes.
Policy Disclaimer and Legal Effect
This privacy document explains how personal data is handled and may include a disclaimer that limits or clarifies its scope as permitted by law. The disclaimer applies once the user accepts the policy by signature, online acceptance, or accession. If a local law requires a different approach to processing, that requirement will apply to the extent of the conflict. The latest policy text governs the handling of data for all users in Ghana.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files saved on a device by websites or apps to remember the user and understand how services are used. They are used for statistics, behaviour analysis, personalisation, and site improvement. Cookie data is generally retained for up to 1 year, unless a shorter period is needed for session management or security. Users can manage cookies in their browser or device settings; blocking some cookies may limit certain functions.
Your Acceptance of This Policy
Using 1win and related online services means full acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any updates published here. The current version of the policy prevails over previous versions. Continued use after changes indicates agreement to the revised document. Users who do not agree should stop using the services and manage their data rights as described above.
Sharing Data with Third Parties
Personal data may be shared when required by law, for dispute resolution, or under agreements needed to deliver services. Typical recipients include identity verification providers, payment processors, cloud hosting, analytics, marketing service providers (where consent applies), fraud prevention partners, auditors, regulators, law enforcement, and legal advisers.
The list of key third parties may be provided on the websites or in the account area. If a new category of recipient is not listed, information about the purpose and scope of sharing will be provided where legally required. Providing personal information constitutes consent to share it for the purposes described in this policy, in addition to other lawful grounds such as contract necessity or legal obligation. All third parties must keep information confidential and process it only under documented instructions.
Links to External Websites
The websites may include links to third-party sites that have their own privacy policies and security practices. 1win is not responsible for how those sites collect, use, or protect information. Users should review the privacy policy of each external site and proceed carefully before sharing any personal details.
