We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to, or where you have provided specific and explicit consent. Most commonly, we use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the services required as part of our agreement with you. This includes using your data to enable you to access and use the games on our platform, process deposits and withdrawals and account management and administration.

Unless we are required to disclose your information by law, we will not share your personal data without safeguards being in place. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We have contracts in place with our third party data processors which means that they are unable to do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it.
Financial Crime and other fraud prevention and detection
To prevent and detect fraud, we may check your information against publicly available sources (such as social media and networking sites), with fraud prevention agencies and databases.
We have a regulatory requirement to put in place systems and controls to manage the risk of financial crime.
International Transfers
We, and our appointed service providers, may transfer and process personal information outside the European Economic Area. To protect your personal information, transfers are subject to data safeguards to ensure compliance with data protection laws.
Data Security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised and/or unlawful way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, consultants 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.
We have also put in place procedures to deal with any personal data breach (whether suspected or actual) and we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so, or where we believe you have the right to know of such a breach.
How long do we keep your information
We will only keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we take into account 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 the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
