- What types of data we collect?
We collect two types of data from you: Personal Data ("Personal Data") and non-Personal Data. Personal Data means any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means (e.g. email address or name). Non-Personal Data, by contrast, can be defined as any information that does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include, for example, your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device (e.g. the device you use, the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.). This section sets out the typed of data we collect and how and when we collect those types of data from you.
- Account information. When you open an account and register to use the Services, you will be asked to provide us certain details about yourself, such as: first and last name, email address, gender, birth date, Social Security Number or other personal identifier (e.g. passport number), age, physical address, phone number and occupation. In addition, we may collect certain information as required under various gambling regulations, as well as Know Your Client (“KYC”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) regulatory requirements, such as your source of funds.
- Gaming information. We automatically record different information related to your account and use of our Services, including with respect to your transactions, deposits, balances, bets, withdraws, bonuses and winnings. We also collect information regarding potential gambling problems or addictions, based on your patterns of gambling across our Services, in order to ensure a responsible gaming environment and as required by law.
- Payment information. In order for you to enjoy all of the functions of the Services (e.g. place bets, perform purchases, play in tournaments, etc.), payment information will be collected from you, such as your currency, credit card number, payment method and bank account details.
- Usage information. When you use our Services, we collect technical information about your interaction with our Services and your device. Such information may include geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g. MAC address and UUID) as well as other information which relates to your activity in the Services.
- Communication information. When you send us an email or contact us in any other way, we collect the Personal Data you provide us. This may include your name, email address and any other information you choose to provide.
- Tracking Technologies
When you visit or access our Services, we use cookies, pixels, beacons, local storage and similar technologies ("Tracking Technologies"). These allow us to automatically collect information about you, your device, and your online behavior, in order to enhance your navigation in our Services, improve our Service's performance, perform analytics, customize your experience and offer you, for example, tailored content and advertisements that better correspond with your interests.
- What types of Tracking Technologies do we use?
When you use or access our Services, we use the following categories of Tracking Technologies:
- Strictly Necessary Tracking Technologies – these Tracking Technologies are automatically placed on your computer or device when you access or take certain action in our Services. These Tracking Technologies are essential to enable you to navigate around and use the features of our Services. We do not need to obtain your consent in order to use these Tracking Technologies;
- Tracking and Advertising Tracking Technologies – these Tracking Technologies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. The Tracking Technologies remember the websites you visit and that information is shared with other parties such as advertisers and/or publishers. Publishers, advertisers, and third-party ad networks may also utilize Tracking Technologies or similar technologies to deliver ads and monitor the performance of such ads. The collection of information through Tracking Technologies by such third parties will be governed by their own privacy policies/cookies policies and principles, which the Company does not control;
- Functionality Tracking Technologies – these Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Services;
- Performance Tracking Technologies – these Tracking Technologies collect information about your online activity (for example the duration of your visit on our Services), including behavioral data and content engagement metrics. These Tracking Technologies are used for analytics, research and to perform statistics (based on aggregated information).
- How and by whom Tracking Technologies are stored on your device?
We store Tracking Technologies on your device when you visit or access our Services (for example, when you are visiting our Website) – these are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example, our analytics service providers, business partners, and advertisers), who run content on our Services – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies". Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.
There are various ways in which you can manage and control your Tracking Technologies settings. You can manage your Tracking Technology preferences by changing your browser settings to send a “Do-Not-Track” signal; in such case, your browser will send us a special signal to stop tracking your activity. You may also install third party browser extensions, to block third party tracking cookies on our Website.
