Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how et-melbet.com ("Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit our website. et-melbet.com is an independent affiliate review site covering Melbet in Ethiopia — it is not the official Melbet website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily

et-melbet.com does not require registration and does not ask visitors to create accounts or submit personal information (such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers) to access our content. We do not have user accounts, comment sections, or contact forms that collect personal data.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Site, certain information may be collected automatically through standard web server logs and analytics tools. This may include:
