Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We disclose information only where necessary to support operations or meet legal obligations. Typical recipients include the following.
- Service providers - payment processors, identity verification services, hosting and IT support, and providers of game content who act on our behalf.
- Affiliates and partners - where sharing is required to deliver co-branded services or cross-platform features.
- Legal and compliance - law enforcement, regulators, and legal advisors when required to comply with legal processes or to protect our rights.
- Safety and fraud prevention networks - to help detect and prevent criminal activity and to protect players and the platform.
- Corporate transactions - in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Data Security
We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate, secure storage systems, and routine security assessments.
Access to personal data is restricted to authorised staff whose role requires access. We provide training on data protection and maintain procedures to respond to security incidents. Despite these safeguards, no system can be completely secure - we therefore maintain incident response plans and will notify affected individuals and authorities as required by applicable law if a breach occurs.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Retention periods depend on the nature of the data and the reason it was collected.
- Account data - retained for the term of the account and for a reasonable period thereafter to address disputes and regulatory needs.
- Transaction records - maintained to comply with financial recordkeeping and anti-fraud obligations.
- Support and communications - retained for service improvement and dispute resolution purposes.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it so it can no longer be associated with you.
Your Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal data. These may include the right to access the data we hold about you, to request rectification of inaccurate information, to request erasure in certain circumstances, and to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
If you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact our support team using the contact details provided below. We will respond in accordance with applicable legal timeframes and may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
Third-Party Services
Our platform integrates with third-party services such as game providers, payment schemes, and analytics tools. These third parties process personal information according to their own privacy notices and under contractual terms with Matchbook Casino where appropriate.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that you access from our platform. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those services before sharing personal information with them.
International Transfers
In order to provide services and work with global partners, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the United Kingdom. When transfers occur, we take steps to ensure adequate protections are in place such as contractual safeguards and other measures permitted by law to protect your information.
If you have concerns about international data transfers, please contact us so we can provide details of the safeguards used in specific cases.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated through the Matchbook Casino website or by other appropriate means prior to taking effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.
