In order to provide an efficient service to the player, we and/or our service providers may transfer the player’s personal data between countries of the European Union (EU) or European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and some processors may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where data is collected in this way, it will be processed in accordance with the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.
-
In addition to the above, we may disclose personal data when we start a new business. If there is a change in the structure of the Company, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of a part of the business, it is likely that our customers’ personal data will be transferred in the course of the change. It is our practice to inform the customer by email before their personal data is transferred in this way.

Players are advised that for the purposes of EU gambling law and AML activities, we are required to retain the information provided during the registration and throughout the use of a player’s gaming account for a minimum of five years from the date of the player’s last money transfer or closure of the gaming account.
