• The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Data protection policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 15. 
• The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 13 will tell you how to do this. 
• The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 15 to find out more.

• The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

• The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in some cases. 
• Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling if we not use your personal data in this way. Currently, we do not use any personal data in this way.

It is important that your personal data is kept accurate and up-to-date. If any of the personal data we hold about you changes, please keep us informed as long as we have that data.

6. What Data Do You Collect and How?

Depending upon your use of Our Site, and in order to provide you services, you will need to create a user account. When creating this user account, you will need to submit certain personal data such as your name, age, address and email. Additional information may also be required for you to utilize some of our services, such as your bank card or payment details. 

We also collect information about the transactions you make, including your gambling activity. We may collect personal data through surveys which we undertake. In addition, we may collect information about your use of our websites, applications or services as applicable. We may also collect other information necessary for us to process your personal data for the purposes set out in this Data protection policy. 

Where you contact us, we will process any personal data you provide in these communications. 

We may also collect personal data from third party service providers, such as credit reference agencies and fraud prevention companies, among others. 

Finally, we also use “cookies” and similar technologies which may collect certain information about you, such as your devices’ IP addresses and online activity, some of which will constitute your personal data. You can learn more about the cookies we use in the ‘Cookies’ section below. 

7. How Do You Use My Personal Data?

In accordance with data protection laws, we will only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis for doing so in respect of your personal data. We process your personal data if: (i) it is necessary to provide services to you under the performance of the contract we have with you; (ii) we are required to do so in accordance with legal or regulatory obligations; (iii) you have given your consent; or, (iv) it is in our legitimate interests to process your personal data, provided that none of these interests prejudice your own rights, freedoms and interests. 

With the exception of limited circumstances, we do not process special categories of personal data about you (such as personal data relating to your health, ethnicity, religion, political persuasion, trade union membership or sexuality) or personal data relating to criminal offences or convictions. For the limited circumstances in which we process special categories of personal data, we have set out the additional lawful basis required in italics below. 

The following is a list of the purposes for which we process your personal data, and the lawful basis on which it carries out such processing: 

With your permission and/or where permitted by law, we may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email with information, news, and offers on our products or services. You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. If you include your email address into our newsletter box you are giving your consent for us to process your email address as detailed above. We will always work to fully protect your rights and comply with our obligations under applicable Legislation. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out automatically or by contacting us. We will always obtain your express opt-in consent before sharing your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes and you will be able to opt-out at any time. 

In addition to the purposes set out above, we may also process your personal data for other purposes that we deem compatible with those listed above. We will update this Data protection policy accordingly, when we do this. 

Please note that the lawful bases set out above are those which will primarily apply although it is possible that a change in circumstance may result in a change in lawful basis – for example, if you close your user account with us we will no longer process your personal data to perform a contract with you but will continue to do so in order to comply with legal requirements. 

In case Third Parties whose content appears on our Site may use third-party Cookies. Please note that we do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves, and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such third parties. 

8. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We will not keep your personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. Your personal data will therefore be kept for the following periods: 

We retain your personal data for five years. Five years is calculated from the closure of your user account or where your user account has been dormant for this period. There are some exceptions to this retention period, namely: 

If you self-exclude from any of our services, we will retain this information indefinitely. 

If you are under investigation or we have identified possible fraud, money-laundering, criminal activity we may retain your personal data for longer. 

If there is a legal dispute, we will retain your personal data for the duration of the dispute and for six years thereafter. 

9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

The data that we collect from you is stored in the UK but it may be processed by staff operating outside the EEA (European Economic Area) who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. 

By submitting your personal data, you agree to the processing of this data outside of the EEA. 

We take all steps necessary to ensure that your data, regardless of where it is processed, is treated securely and in accordance with this data protection policy and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which includes where possible that the hosts have a certification to ISO27001 standard. 

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the the EEA. This means that we will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA. 

We may share your data within the group of companies of which we may be part. Where this involves the transfer of personal data outside the EEA, we apply “binding corporate rules”. More information on binding corporate rules is available from the European Commission. 

Where we may transfer your data to a third party based in the US or other countries, and in all such cases we will ensure that standard contractual clauses or an Adequacy Decision is in place to protect your personal data. This requires that third party to provide data protection to standards similar to those in Europe. More information is available from the European Commission. 

Please contact us using the details below in Part 15 for further information about the particular data protection mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data to a third country. 

The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

• limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality; 
• procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data).  

10. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions. 

If we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way(s) that we have used it, as specified in this Data protection policy. 

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority. 

11. Security

We will take appropriate security, technical and organizational measures to ensure that your personal data is kept secure and to prevent the theft, loss or unauthorized access to your personal data. It is important to understand however that security can never be guaranteed and you will not hold us liable save where the security of your personal data is compromised due to our negligence. 

12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”. 

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email. 

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding. 

We will respond to your subject access request within the period established by law and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request.
