2. Purposes of processing personal data
We collect and process your personal data for the following purposes:
-
performance of the Agreement and fulfilment of the obligations contained therein – processing is necessary to conclude and to fulfil Our obligations laid down in the Agreement,
-
performance of legal obligations – processing is necessary to fulfil one or more legal obligations pertaining on Us,
-
to pursue various legitimate interests, such as security, preventing and investigating any offence against Us, public relations and customer relations management, and/or defence of legal or other claims.
2.1 Processing for other purposes
In principle, personal data is only processed for the purposes for which it was collected. However, personal data may also be processed for other purposes if they are compatible with the original purposes or if doing so is necessary for legal reasons.
3. Data retention
Your data will be stored for the duration of the Agreement and, following the termination of the Agreement, your data will be stored in line with the requirements laid down by the applicable laws (notably without limitation tax regulations) and in order to establish, defend and/or exercise legal claims.
4.Legal basis for data processing and data transfer
As a licensed Swiss casino, We are particularly subject to Swiss laws and ordinances concerning gambling and thereto related services, such as the Federal Act on Gambling, Federal Act on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism and the Code of Obligations, which require Us to collect and process your personal data. In addition, We process your personal data for legitimate interests and the necessity for the performance of the Agreement.
5. Disclosure and transfer of personal data
We process your personal data in the strictest confidence and only disclose your personal data to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy, and to persons authorised to process personal data, who have undertaken to observe confidentiality or are subject to appropriate statutory confidentiality.
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, We may disclose your personal data in cases where We are required to do so by law, regulation or as a result of a request from an authority (police, tax office or other authorities) to disclose personal data. We may also disclose your personal data in cases where We suspect that a crime has been committed.
5.1 Third parties
Your personal data may, for the purposes described above, be transferred or disclosed to carefully chosen third parties, for example for the subsequent purposes:
-
Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors, to ensure the performance of the Agreement We enter into with you, e.g. processing payments and managing the business relationship with you.
5.2 Within the Group
For the purposes described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to Our parent company, affiliates and subsidiaries. Disclosure of personal data within the group of companies primarily serves to manage personal data and to process various matters in connection with the Agreement.
5.3 Transfer of personal data
We always strive to process personal data within Switzerland, the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) as far as possible. In cases where it is necessary to transfer personal data outside of Switzerland or the EU/EEA, e.g. for the purpose of disclosing personal data to a data processor who, either themselves or through one of their subcontractors, stores personal data in a country outside of Switzerland’s borders or the EU/EEA or has its subsidiaries in a country outside of Switzerland’s borders or the EU/EEA, We take the necessary and adequate legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure that the level of protection corresponds to that of Switzerland. When personal data is transferred to a country outside of Switzerland’s borders, the level of protection is determined either by the list of countries maintained by the Data Protection and PR Officer, and containing countries with adequate data protection legislation, or by the fact that the company is linked to Switzerland via the ‘Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework’. Other suitable safeguards are approved codes of conduct in the recipient country and the application of internal, binding company guidelines.
6. Your rights
6.1 Right of access
You are entitled to access your personal data that We process, provided that a) the access to such personal data does not jeopardise the rights and freedoms of third parties, b) the access is not prohibited by legal provisions such as the Federal Act on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism, and c) the access does not jeopardise the outcome of a criminal or other investigation.
In cases where We receive a request for access, it must be noted that We may request further information about you in order to guarantee effective processing of the request and disclosure of the data to the correct person.
6.2 Right to rectification
You are entitled to have incorrect personal data that concerns you rectified as well as, within the stated purpose, to supplement incomplete personal data.
6.3 Right to be forgotten
You have the right to request that We erase or remove all or part of your personal data, e.g. if the personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or was processed in another way.
It must be noted that We can reject the request to erase or anonymise the personal data if processing is carried out based on legal obligations applicable to Us, such as the Federal Act on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism. We may also reject the request for erasure and anonymisation of the personal data if there is a legitimate interest in processing or if We require such personal data to establish, assert or defend legal claims.
6.4 Right to restriction of processing
You are to some extent entitled to request that Our processing of your personal data be restricted, for example if you contest the accuracy of your personal data or that the processing is illega,l but you do not want your personal data to be deleted.

We may also process such personal data in cases where you have given your consent, or for reasons relating to an important public interest.
