International Transfers
OBSERVE: Data may be stored or accessed in several jurisdictions (Canada, Malta, EU/EEA, UK, other countries) because of our multi-licence operations and global service providers.

Primary Processing Locations

- For Canadian privacy frameworks, we take reasonable steps to ensure that foreign service providers offer a level of protection comparable to that required under applicable Canadian data protection principles and gaming regulations.
Data Retention
OBSERVE: Gaming, AML, and regulatory rules require retention for defined minimum periods, while privacy principles require that we not keep data longer than necessary.
EXPAND: We specify typical retention periods per category, with criteria used to extend or shorten such periods, and explain how deletion or anonymisation occurs.
REFLECT: We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, and to comply with legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations:
General Retention Rules
- Player account and KYC data: Typically retained for up to 5 - 7 years after your account is closed or your last transaction, depending on the strictest applicable legal or regulatory requirement (e.g., AML and gaming laws).
- Transaction and betting history: Retained for at least 5 years from the date of the relevant activity, and longer where required for financial reporting, dispute resolution, or regulatory audits.
- Responsible gambling and self-exclusion records: Retained for the duration of any imposed or voluntary self-exclusion period and for an additional period (normally 5 years) to comply with responsible gambling obligations.
- Customer support and complaint records: Kept for the life of the account and for up to 5 years after closure or final resolution of the complaint, to evidence our handling and defend legal claims.

Deletion, Anonymisation, and Archiving
- When data is no longer required, we will securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
- In some cases, data may be archived with restricted access when needed for legal or regulatory reasons (e.g., ongoing investigations, regulator requests).
- Your right to erasure may be limited where we are required to retain certain information by law or regulation.
Your Rights
OBSERVE: Players must be able to access, correct, and in some circumstances delete or restrict their data, object to certain uses, and withdraw marketing consent. EU/GDPR-style and Canadian principles are used as benchmarks.
EXPAND: We describe each right, how to exercise it, applicable limitations, procedural steps, and response timeframes, emphasising that requests are generally free of charge.
REFLECT: Depending on your place of residence and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right of Access
- You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of such data, along with information about how it is used, sources, categories and recipients.
Right to Rectification

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

- You have withdrawn consent (where processing relied on consent) and there is no other legal basis; or
- You have successfully objected to processing; or
- Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation.
- We may not be able to erase data that we are legally obliged to retain (e.g., AML, gaming, accounting, dispute resolution records); in such cases we will restrict use to the required purposes.
Right to Restrict Processing
- You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data where:
- You contest the accuracy of the data (for a period enabling us to verify it);
- Processing is unlawful and you oppose deletion; or

Note: References to GDPR-style rights are provided as a standard of transparency and do not necessarily mean that GDPR or Mexican data protection laws apply directly to all players. Where local laws provide different or additional rights, we will comply with those as applicable.
