Legal Basis and Purpose for Using Your Information

We only process your personal information when we have a lawful basis and a clear purpose for doing so. Our processing activities are grounded in several legal justifications and are necessary for the operation of our business and to provide you with our services. The main purposes for which we use your data include:

  • Contractual Obligation: We process your information primarily to perform our contract with you, which includes account setup, transaction processing, and delivering our remote gaming services.
  • Legal and Regulatory Compliance: We use your data to comply with legal obligations in Canada, including requirements for Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and responsible gaming as mandated by iGaming Ontario and other authorities.
  • Legitimate Interests: We may process data for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, security, and service improvement analysis, provided your fundamental rights and interests are not overridden.
  • Marketing and Promotions: Based on your explicit consent, we use your information to deliver relevant advertisements, manage your participation in promotions, and inform you of services that may be of interest.

Disclosure and Sharing of Your Information

We may need to share your personal information with internal and external parties for the purposes outlined in this policy. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law, and we do not permit them to use your data for their own purposes.

  • Internal Sharing: Your information may be shared within our corporate group for essential services like IT administration, customer marketing, and leadership reporting.
  • External Service Providers: We engage third-party processors for services such as customer support, payment processing, identity verification, and fraud prevention. They act only on our instructions.

  • Business Transfers: If our business undergoes a sale or merger, your personal data may be transferred to the new owners, who may use it as outlined in this policy.

International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred and stored internationally, as some of our third-party service providers are based outside of Canada. We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your data in such cases. We achieve this by implementing appropriate legal and security safeguards that are compliant with all applicable legislation.

Data Security and Retention

We implement comprehensive technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, or loss. This includes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on our website and secure servers protected by advanced firewalls. We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill its collected purposes and to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, which includes a minimum seven-year retention period after you cease being a customer.
