7. International Transfers of Your Personal Data

We may transfer your personal data outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA) to countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK/EEA.

Specific Disclosure: Yandex.Metrica

We use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC (a Russian company), to understand how users interact with our Site. This involves the transfer of your Technical and Usage Data (such as IP address, browser type, page views) to servers located in Russia.

Geopolitical Context & Adequacy: It is important to note that Russia is not a country for which the UK or the European Commission has issued an "adequacy decision." This means that, in the absence of such a decision, the legal framework in Russia may not offer the same level of protection for your personal data as within the UK/EEA.
Our Safeguards: We take steps to mitigate these risks by:
- Anonymisation/Pseudonymisation: Configuring Yandex.Metrica to anonymise IP addresses and where possible, process data in a way that minimizes direct identification.
- Contractual Clauses: Implementing standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate safeguards where available and applicable, to ensure Yandex LLC commits to protecting your data to UK GDPR standards.
- Transparency: Clearly disclosing this transfer to you in this Privacy Policy.
Your Control: You have control over cookies, which Yandex.Metrica relies on. You can manage your cookie preferences as described in our Cookie Policy.

For other international transfers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your personal data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government.
Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK government which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

8. Data Security

We have implemented robust security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. This includes:

Encryption: Using SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit (as indicated by https://).
Access Controls: Limiting access to your personal data to 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 are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
Regular Audits: Conducting regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
Staff Training: Ensuring our staff are trained on data protection and security best practices.
Incident Response: Maintaining procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and notifying you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

9. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

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 the applicable legal requirements.

For example, data related to gameplay (e.g., specific spins, bets, wins on "Big Bass Bonanza 1000") may be retained for a period required by gambling regulations (typically 5-7 years for transactional data related to AML/CTF, even if anonymised for this site). Technical and Usage Data for analytics may be retained for shorter periods, typically 1-2 years, unless a longer period is justified for specific analytical insights or fraud prevention.

In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

10. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include:

The right to be informed

To know how your data is being used. This Privacy Policy serves this purpose.

The right to access

To request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

The right to rectification

To request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

The right to erasure

To request that we delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.

The right to restrict processing

To request that we suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios.

The right to data portability

To request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.

The right to object

To object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest.

Rights in relation to automated decision-making

You have the right to object to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 14 below. We may need to request specific information from you 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 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.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could 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.
