By interacting with our site you agree that you have read our Privacy Policy and accept its terms for storing and processing such information. We will endeavour to do all that is reasonably necessary to ensure that any data collected from you is being processed and stored securely and according to this Privacy Policy.

CasinoOnline makes every possible effort to safeguard information, but it is impossible to guarantee that all information transferred to our website will be secure; any internet-based transmission is carried out at your own risk.

CasinoOnline operates on a global scale, which means that we may need to transmit your Personal Information to countries within and outside of the UK or European Union and European Economic Area (the "EU/EEA").

In such a situation, CasinoOnline will endeavour to take all reasonably necessary measures and have adequate safeguards in place, for example, such as using EU standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, to provide you with an equivalent level of protection when it comes to any personal data collected from you.

• You can request access to your personal data, or ask us to correct, update or delete the whole or part of your personal information.

• You can object to processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information.

• If we have collected and process your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. This may mean your access to certain services is restricted or denied as a result. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

• You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

You can exercise your rights at any time by contacting us using the contact details below. 

We respond to all requests we receive from users in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.
