Spinbet Online Casino – Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2024

1. Introduction and Overview

Spinbet is an online casino and iGaming platform operated under a license issued by the Curacao Gaming Authority. This Privacy Policy sets out the manner in which Spinbet collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data provided by users who access, register with, or otherwise interact with the Spinbet platform. This document applies to all individuals who visit the Spinbet website, create an account, engage in gaming activities, or contact our customer support team. By using the Spinbet platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you should discontinue use of the platform immediately. Spinbet is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and privacy compliance, and we take our obligations under applicable Australian privacy legislation, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), seriously in all aspects of our operations.

2. Regulatory and Legal Framework

Spinbet operates under a gaming license issued by the Curacao Gaming Authority, which governs the conduct of online gambling activities and sets standards for player protection, data security, and anti-money laundering compliance. In addition to Curacao licensing requirements, Spinbet acknowledges and respects the obligations imposed by Australian law, including but not limited to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act), and applicable consumer protection regulations. Where any conflict arises between the requirements of different jurisdictions, Spinbet will apply the standard that offers the greatest protection to the individual whose data is being processed. Our data handling practices are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving regulatory requirements in both the iGaming sector and the broader data protection landscape.

3. Personal Data We Collect

Spinbet collects personal data from users at various stages of their interaction with the platform. The categories of personal data we collect include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Registration data including full legal name, date of birth, residential address, nationality, email address, and telephone number

The collection of the above data is necessary for Spinbet to operate its platform lawfully, fulfil its regulatory obligations, and provide users with a safe, secure, and personalised gaming experience.

• Compliance with a legal obligation, where processing is required to meet regulatory requirements including AML/CTF obligations, KYC procedures, and licensing conditions
• Legitimate interests, where Spinbet has a legitimate business interest in processing data for fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement, provided such interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of the data subject
• Consent, where the user has provided explicit and informed consent to the processing of their data for specific purposes such as direct marketing communications

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Spinbet does not sell personal data to third parties. However, we may share personal data with certain categories of third parties where necessary for the operation of our platform or where required by law. These include the following:

• Payment service providers and financial institutions involved in processing deposits and withdrawals on the platform
• Identity verification and KYC service providers engaged to conduct document checks, biometric verification, and database screening
• Anti-fraud and risk management service providers used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect the integrity of the platform
• Regulatory authorities, including the Curacao Gaming Authority and any relevant Australian regulatory bodies, where disclosure is required under applicable licensing conditions or statutory obligations
• Law enforcement agencies, courts, and government bodies where Spinbet is legally required to disclose information in response to lawful requests, court orders, or legal proceedings
• Responsible gambling organisations and self-exclusion registries where required to enforce player protection measures
• Technology and hosting service providers who process data on behalf of Spinbet under data processing agreements that require them to maintain appropriate security and confidentiality standards

All third-party data processors engaged by Spinbet are subject to contractual obligations requiring them to handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection standards and to use such data only for the purposes for which it was shared.

7. Data Retention

Spinbet retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve any disputes or enforce our agreements. In particular, account data and transaction records are retained for a minimum period of five years following the closure of an account, in accordance with AML/CTF record-keeping requirements. Data collected for marketing purposes is retained until the user withdraws consent or requests deletion, subject to any overriding legal obligations. Technical logs and cookie data are retained for shorter periods consistent with their operational purpose, typically not exceeding twelve months unless otherwise required.

• The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
• The right to request deletion of personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to overriding legal obligations
• The right to restrict the processing of personal data in certain circumstances, including where the accuracy of the data is contested or where processing is unlawful
• The right to object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time
• The right to withdraw consent to processing where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal
• The right to lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority if you believe your rights have been infringed

10. Data Security

Spinbet implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures. While Spinbet takes all reasonable steps to protect personal data, no system of data transmission or storage is entirely secure, and users should also take precautions to protect their own account credentials.

11. International Data Transfers

As an online platform operating under a Curacao license and serving users in Australia, Spinbet may transfer personal data to countries outside of Australia in the course of its operations, including to service providers and partners located in other jurisdictions. Where such transfers occur, Spinbet takes steps to ensure that adequate protections are in place to safeguard personal data in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
