Our data protection officer oversees all aspects of personal data handling and serves as the primary contact for privacy-related inquiries.

All data processing activities are conducted with appropriate legal basis and documented procedures. We maintain comprehensive records of our data processing activities as required by Irish and European legislation. Our commitment extends to ensuring transparent communication about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information throughout your gaming experience.

Purposes of Data Processing

Your personal data is processed for specific, legitimate purposes related to operating a secure and compliant online casino platform. Each processing activity is based on appropriate legal grounds under GDPR, including contractual necessity, legal compliance, legitimate interests, and explicit consent where required.

We utilize your information to facilitate account registration and maintenance, ensuring secure access to our gaming platform. Identity verification procedures are implemented to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and responsible gambling requirements. Financial data processing enables secure deposit and withdrawal transactions while maintaining comprehensive audit trails for regulatory reporting.

Gaming activity monitoring serves multiple purposes including fraud prevention, game integrity maintenance, and responsible gambling protection measures. We analyze gameplay patterns to identify potentially problematic gambling behaviors and implement appropriate intervention measures when necessary.

Legal Basis for Processing

All personal data processing activities are conducted based on valid legal grounds as defined by GDPR. We carefully assess and document the appropriate legal basis for each processing purpose to ensure compliance with European data protection requirements.

Contractual necessity serves as the primary legal basis for processing data essential to providing casino services, including account management, payment processing, and game delivery. Legal compliance obligations require us to process certain information for identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and regulatory reporting to Irish gambling authorities.

Legitimate interests justify processing activities such as fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement initiatives. We conduct regular balancing tests to ensure our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. Explicit consent is obtained for marketing communications and optional data processing activities.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We maintain strict controls over personal data sharing and only disclose information to authorized third parties when necessary for legitimate business purposes or legal compliance. All data sharing arrangements are governed by comprehensive data processing agreements ensuring recipient organizations maintain equivalent data protection standards.

Payment processing partners receive financial information necessary to facilitate secure transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and currency conversions. These processors are carefully selected based on their security credentials and compliance with financial industry standards.

  • Licensed payment processors for transaction handling and fraud prevention
  • Identity verification services for regulatory compliance and age verification
  • Cloud computing providers for secure data storage and platform hosting
  • Customer service platforms for support ticket management and communication
  • Analytics providers for platform performance monitoring and improvement
  • Legal and regulatory authorities when required by law or court orders

Data Security Measures

We implement comprehensive technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework incorporates industry best practices and exceeds minimum regulatory requirements for online gaming platforms.

Technical safeguards include advanced encryption protocols for data transmission and storage, multi-factor authentication systems, and continuous network monitoring for suspicious activities. Access controls ensure only authorized personnel can access personal data on a need-to-know basis for specific business purposes.

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmissions between users and our platform
  • Database encryption with regularly updated cryptographic keys
  • Firewall protection and intrusion detection systems
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Employee training programs on data protection and security protocols
  • Incident response procedures for potential security breaches

Data Retention Periods

Personal data retention periods are determined based on legal requirements, business necessities, and the specific purposes for which information was collected. We maintain clear retention schedules and regularly review stored data to ensure compliance with data minimization principles.

Account information and transaction records are retained for seven years following account closure to comply with Irish anti-money laundering regulations and tax reporting requirements. Gaming activity data is typically retained for five years to support dispute resolution and regulatory inquiries.

Marketing consent records are maintained until withdrawal or account closure, whichever occurs first. Technical logs and security monitoring data are retained for two years unless longer retention is required for ongoing investigations or legal proceedings.

Some personal data processing activities may involve transfers to countries outside the European Economic Area. All international transfers are conducted with appropriate safeguards to ensure adequate protection levels equivalent to those provided within the EU.

We utilize Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers to third countries without adequacy decisions. Additional security measures may include data encryption, access controls, and regular compliance monitoring to ensure continued protection throughout the transfer process.

Transfer impact assessments are conducted to evaluate potential risks and implement additional safeguards when necessary. We regularly review the necessity and proportionality of international transfers to minimize data exposure while maintaining service quality.

Responsible Gambling Data Use

We process personal data specifically for responsible gambling initiatives designed to protect players from gambling-related harm. This processing is based on legitimate interests in promoting safer gambling practices and complying with Irish gambling regulations.

Behavioral analysis algorithms monitor gaming patterns to identify potentially problematic gambling behaviors. When concerning patterns are detected, we may implement protective measures including deposit limits, session restrictions, or account suspensions. This processing aims to prevent gambling addiction and promote healthy gaming habits.

Self-exclusion data is processed with particular care to ensure effective implementation of exclusion periods and prevention of circumvention attempts. We maintain comprehensive records of responsible gambling interventions to demonstrate regulatory compliance and support player welfare initiatives.
