What we do to keep your Personal Data safe:
We have appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Where appropriate, we employ encryption, pseudonymisation (for example, by using your Player ID rather than full name where appropriate) and anonymisation solutions to reduce the impact of any security incident to Personal Data. Although, the nature of the internet means that transmission of information may not be totally secured, we have deployed end to end encryption security measures to protect the transmission of your Personal Data when you use our Website.
In addition, we limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Managing security incidents relating to Personal Data:
We have procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
If you have any reason to believe that your Player Account information may no longer be safe, please contact our customer support staff.
Keeping your player account safe:
When you create an account with us, we ask you to choose a password to retrieve access to your player account. We use password protection to ensure your player account is safe at all times and can only be accessed by you. You must keep your username, password details private and confidential at all times. Please choose a password that is strong and not easy to guess. Please do not share your password with anyone and please change it on a regular basis. If you suspect your password has been disclosed to anyone, please change it immediately to ensure your Player Account remains safe.
We primarily store and process our Player Account data within UK (“EEA”).
However, in the following cases we can transfer your Personal Data outside the EEA:
Third parties service providers.
To operate our Website, we may use third party service providers which are based outside the EEA, so their processing of your Personal Data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

If you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data outside of the EEA, please contact our DPO (see section 2 of this Privacy Policy).
We will not keep your Personal Data for longer than required. The precise duration for which we keep your Personal Data when you have a live Player account with us or for a period after your cease to be a Player with us, can vary and depends on various reasons. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and what the law requires us to do. For example, we retain a copy of your Player Account’s records of all financial and wagering transactions together with any identification provided for as long as is necessary for the relevant service and for no longer than 7 years after you have closed your Player Account.
When we no longer need to keep your Personal Data, we anonymise it securely and this process cannot be reversed. In certain cases, we need to securely retain certain Personal Data to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.
Additionally, where we decide to retain your information for analytics purposes, we will fully anonymise it in accordance with applicable security standards, so it can never be linked back to an individual.
Please note that if you decide to opt-out from receiving marketing communications from us (see section 6 above), we will need to retain a copy of your contact details, so we can add them to our suppression list and make sure you do not receive any information about our future marketing activities.
Please contact the DPO (see section 2 above) if you need any further information.
The law gives you legal rights in respect of the Personal Data we hold about you. You can exercise your legal rights for free except where this Privacy Policy states otherwise. We may need to request specific Personal Data from you from time to time to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that your Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month of receipt. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
