We collect two types of information from our Users:

• Personal Information

  The first type of information which we process is information that identifies or may reasonably identify an individual with reasonable effort (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may consist of the following:

  • Account details: When you opened an account and registered to use the Services, you were asked to provide us certain details about yourself, such as: first and last name, email address, username, gender, birth date, personal numeric code, age, profile picture, physical address, ID number, fiscal code, phone number and occupation. In addition, we may have collected 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.
  • Governmental-issued ID: In certain instances, you have been required to provide a copy of a governmental-issued ID, for identity verification process. Please note that this information was required for certain features of our Services.
  • Gaming information: In order for us to provide the Services, we automatically recorded 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 collected 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.
  • Financial 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 was collected from you, such as your currency, credit card number, payment method and bank account details.
  • Voluntary information: We also process information which you provide us voluntarily, such as information provided by our VIP customers. For example, when you respond to communications from us, communicate with us via email or share additional information about yourself through your use of the Services, such as on the chat feature and in games. This includes information you are willing to share with us for the purpose of improving and developing our relationship with you, as well as for maintaining your stratification from our Services (for example, information about your marital status and family, your hobbies and interests, and other information you share with us through surveys).
  • Device information: We process specific types of connection details and information with regard to your device, software or hardware that may identify you, such as: device’s unique identifiers (e.g. UDID, IMEI and MAC address), browser fingerprinting, IP address and geo-location data.
  • Telephone calls: We record or monitor telephone calls for customer support, training and/or security purposes.
  • Information we process from third parties: We process Personal Information from third party service providers, such as information about your credit history from credit agencies and other financial information which is relevant to the provision of the Services, as well as information which is gathered in order to verify your identity and prevent fraudulent or illegal activity.
• Non-personal Information

  The second type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a User(s), which may be made available or gathered via the User’s use of the Services (“Non-Personal Information”).

  Non-Personal Information which is processed consists of technical information and aggregated usage information, and may contain, among other things, the User’s operating system, type of browser, screen resolution, browser and keyboard language, the User’s ‘click-stream’ and activities on the Services, the period of time the User visited the Services and related time stamps, etc.

  For avoidance of doubt, any Non-personal Information connected or linked to any Personal Information shall be deemed as Personal Information as long as such connection or linkage exists.

  Types of Non-personal Information processed about you:

  • Log-in history and technical information: We process technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time and the domain name of the website from which you linked to the Services; etc.).
  • Gameplay information: We recorded game play information including, amongst other things, your deposits, bets, bonuses, game session duration and your high scores.
  • Device and connection information: we process information from the particular device you are using, for security and fraud detection and prevention purposes. For example, we may process information with regard to other software which is running simultaneously with the Software for detecting if you are using software which is associated with fraudulent activity (e.g. robots, malware, etc.).
  • Analytics information: We process information about your use of the Services, such as applications' usage, log files, user activity (e.g. pages viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, online browsing, clicks, actions, etc.), time stamps, alerts, etc. This information is collected for amongst other things troubleshooting errors and bugs as well as for research and analytics purposes about your use of the Services.
  • Anonymous information: We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose, such as for advertising or marketing purposes.
