2. YOUR DATA
(a) Definitions
Applicable privacy laws define personal information as follows:
Our Services collect “personal information,” which means recorded information about an identifiable individual other than contact information i.e. information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual, including any information that constitutes “personal information” under applicable privacy laws.
As a customer of the Company, You are an "individual" in relation to this Privacy Policy. In short, all personal data relating to You as a person or individual is protected under the applicable data protection laws and legislation. However, it does not include data where the identifiers relating to a "data item" have been removed in such a way that the data is rendered anonymous, meaning when You are not or no longer identifiable (i.e. anonymous data) or data which relates to an individual’s business or place of work.
In carrying out Our Services, We might make use of certain “Know Your Client” (KYC) technology which allows the Company to be able to verify the identity of the players in its customer base, falling in line with its regulatory obligations as a licensed operator in Ontario.
We may collect, use, store and transfer various kinds of personal data. In this section We will explain the following:
•What kind of data do we collect?
•How do we collect data - Do We get data directly from You? Do We get it from other sources?
•For what purpose do We collect data? - How and why do We use data?
•What is our legal basis for data processing? The possible legal bases that could justify it are:
Legal obligations – Are We required by law or regulations to process this data? Do We need to process this data to fulfil a legal obligation?
Legitimate interest - This means that We process Your data because it relates directly to and is necessary in order for the Company to be able to offer its Services to You, which forms part of our legitimate interest as a Company. Before We process Your data in line with this basis, We ensure that We assess the potential impact such treatment may have on You and Your rights. Therefore, We do not use a method where Your rights and interests as an individual override Our interests in processing Your data.
In performance of a contractual obligation - Processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil the contractual obligations We enter into with You and of which You are a part (i.e. terms and conditions). Collection of Your personal information is required in order for Us to be able to render Our Services to you and in certain cases, such as when You as a player are either a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) or a Head of International Organisation (HIO), We might request further personal information from You in order to adhere to Our legal obligations.
Consent - Your consent is used as a legal basis for processing Your data, We only process Your data as long as We have Your consent to do so. If at any time You feel that You no longer wish to have Your data processed, We will no longer do so. However, this does not affect any processing of personal data that We have performed with Your consent before You have cancelled Your consent. Please see section 8 of this Privacy Policy for more information on how to cancel Your consent.
Certain data We collect and process about You is classified as aggregate information, meaning information which cannot lead to Your identification as a natural person, yet may be used by us as a Company to better our services and product offering to You as an end-user and consumer. These types of aggregate information, how they’re collected and the reasons for which We use them are detailed in the table below.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of which personal information We process, when and why We process it and which legal basis We rely on to do so:

You can find further information below about how We process Your data for the following reasons:
- Our own marketing activities- We do Our best to ensure that You have the greatest control over what kind of marketing material You receive from Us or from third parties who act as data processors to Us, processing Your data on our behalf and following Our instructions. You can view and change Your marketing related choices in Our Privacy section of Your account. If You feel that You would like more control over which marketing material We send to You, then You are welcome to contact our PO using the contact information provided above. Should You wish to withdraw Your consent, it may take up to 48 hours before We can be assured that the changes have been implemented in our system and in the systems of our marketing partners (and for this reason, You may receive emails or information from us within those 48 hours). Section 8 explains exactly how You can withdraw Your consent.
- Marketing activities of Our business partners - We never share Your personal data with our business partners for their own marketing activities without Your consent.
Your personal data will not be processed for purposes other than those for which they were collected. Should further processing be required, we shall perform compatibility assessment (to confirm that any such further purpose is compatible with the initial purpose for which data was collected) and You will be informed of that purpose and provided with all necessary information.
Due to the nature of Our service, in order to process Your data as explained in section 2 of this Privacy Policy, We may need to share Your personal and aggregate information with a number of trusted third parties. These 3rd parties include:
(i) Game Providers - At times, Our game providers will need access to selected data (such as username and IP address) in order to provide us with the games You play on Our Website.
(ii) Payment Providers and Related Service Providers - Similarly, We may share some of Your personal information with the payment provider You use to make deposits and withdrawals on Our Website.
(iii) Marketing Partners - When You consent to us sending You marketing communications and promotions, We may share Your contact information (such as email address or postal address) with our marketing partners who are responsible for sending Our marketing material to You.
(iv) Government or Regulatory Authorities - We may, if necessary or authorized by law, provide Your personal data to law enforcement agencies, government or regulatory organizations, courts or other public authorities.
(v) Client communication software - We use third party software to help us communicate with You. This software allows us to send emails to You and talk to You on Our live chat whenever you have any questions.
(vi) AML and anti-fraud tools - We use third party software to perform certain AML and fraud verification checks, which in this case are necessary to comply with Our legal obligations.
We always ensure that a third party who has access to Your personal data is obliged to respect the security of Your personal data, and always process it in a lawful manner, as well as in accordance with Our Privacy Policy and strict contractual provisions. We do not allow any third party service provider to use Your personal data for their own purposes, except when Your personal data is shared with another data controller, such as for example, the governmental and regulatory authorities.
4. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
Service providers referred to in section 3 above may be based in countries that are located outside of Ontario. This may mean that Your data may be shared outside of Canada. Whenever a transfer of Your personal data is made to a data processor or a data controller based outside Canada, We always ensure that Your data is protected in the same way as it is in Ontario. To ensure the protection of Your data, We will implement at least one of the following safeguards:
(I)Adequacy basis - We ensure that We transfer Your personal data to countries that provide an adequate level of data protection.
(II)Standard Contractual Clauses - When an organization is not based in Canada, We may use special contracts, known as standard contractual clauses. These contracts also ensure that personal data is afforded the same protection as it is in Canada.
When establishing and implementing our business relationships, We do not use automated decision making. If We use this method in individual cases, i.e. only when the processing activities based on automated decision-making are permissible under the exceptions within the applicable data protection laws, these operations shall be subject to suitable safeguards to protect Your rights and freedoms. Most importantly, You will be provided (i) the appropriate information, (ii) the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, (iii) the right to express Your point of view, (iv) the right to obtain an explanation of the decision reached after such assessment and (v) the right to contest the decision, unless prohibited by applicable law.
6.TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES
The Company always strives to ensure that Your personal data is secure, both in Our hands and in the hands of any third party to whom we may have passed on Your personal data. Internally, We have implemented a number of technical, contractual, as well as organizational measures, to ensure that Your personal data is not accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorized manner, altered or disclosed. We also ensure that access to Your personal information is determined on a "need-to- know" basis, which means that only people with direct needs to access Your personal data will have access to them. In addition, anyone who has access to Your personal data is bound by confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected or actual personal data breaches. We will inform both You and iGO, the regulatory authority affected by such data security, and we will maintain a list of any such breaches. In this case, we will notify iGaming Ontario and other relevant authorities, and assist the same in reporting and resolving data breaches.
7. DATA RETENTION
The Company will only retain Your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with our data retention policies. Some objectives may include the satisfaction of any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Once the purpose for which the personal data has been collected and processed is reached, and unless We have no other legal obligations to hold onto Your personal data, We will ensure that Your personal data is disposed of permanently, safely and securely.
When determining how long a retention period is appropriate for Your personal data, We take into account various factors, such as the nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of unauthorized use or disclosure of such data, the purpose We collected and processed such data for and applicable laws and/or legal requirements imposed on Us.
You are welcome to contact Our PO using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy for further information about Our storage and data retention periods.
8. YOUR RIGHTS
Applicable legislation gives You certain rights which You may exercise in relation to Your personal information. In accordance with the law, You have the right to:
Request Access to Your Personal Data - This means that You have the right to request a copy of the personal data We hold about You against a minimal fee. To request such access, please exercise Your right by filing a Freedom of Information Request with iGaming Ontario here: https://www.igamingontario.ca/en/freedom-information-requests.
Request for Correction of Your Personal Data - This means that if any of the personal information We hold about You is incomplete or incorrect, You have the right to have it corrected. Keep in mind, however, that We may need You to provide proof and documentation (such as Your ID documentation or proof of address) in order to comply with Your request.
Request to have Your personal data deleted - This means that You can request to have Your personal data deleted if We no longer have a legal reason to continue to process or store it. Please note that this right is not guaranteed - in the sense that We do not have the ability to comply with Your request if We are subject to a legal obligation to store Your data or if We have the reason that it is necessary to store Your personal data, in order to defend ourselves in a legal dispute.
Withdraw Your consent at any time when we rely on Your consent to process Your personal data - Termination or withdrawal of Your consent will not affect the legality of the processing We have performed until the time You withdrew Your consent. Withdrawal of Your consent means that in the future You no longer want to have Your data treated in the same way. This means that You can no longer give us permission to provide certain services (e.g. Marketing). You can withdraw Your consent at any time via the Privacy section located on "Your Account" on the Website. In addition, You can withdraw Your consent from marketing through the ‘opt-out’ unsubscribe button provided in the email You receive from us.
File a complaint - As explained in section 1 (b) of this Privacy Policy. We will respond to all legitimate requests within a 30-day timeframe from the submission of a request. If Your request is particularly complex, or if You have made multiple requests in a certain period, it may take us a little longer. In such a case, we will notify You of this necessary extension.
