3. Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal information is grounded in legitimate legal bases recognized under Canadian privacy law. We ensure that all data processing activities meet the requirements established by PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation.
Processing is primarily based on the necessity to perform our contractual obligations to users, including providing gaming services, processing transactions, and maintaining secure accounts. Additional processing occurs to meet legal obligations imposed by Canadian gaming regulators, anti-money laundering authorities, and tax agencies. Where required by law, we obtain explicit consent from users for specific processing activities, particularly regarding marketing communications and optional services.
We also process certain information based on legitimate interests, such as fraud prevention, security monitoring, and platform improvement, while ensuring these interests do not override fundamental privacy rights of our users. All processing activities are subject to regular review to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving Canadian privacy requirements.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We maintain strict controls over the disclosure of personal information, sharing data only when necessary for legitimate business purposes or as required by Canadian law. All third-party relationships are governed by comprehensive data protection agreements.

Communication records and customer support interactions are retained for three years to support ongoing customer service and dispute resolution. Technical logs and security information are retained for one year unless required for ongoing investigations or legal proceedings.

All international transfers are conducted under appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions recognized under Canadian privacy law. Users are notified of any significant changes to data storage locations or international transfer arrangements.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date of publication and may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law.
