- Legal obligations: Where laws or regulations require specific retention periods (for example, gambling or AML regulations), we retain data for at least those periods.

Depending on your location and the applicable law (including the UK GDPR, EU GDPR and, where relevant, Mexican privacy regulations such as the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties), you have a number of rights regarding your personal data. We will respect these rights and respond to requests in a timely and transparent manner.

Rectification and Erasure
- Right to rectification: You may request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. You can update some of your information directly in your account settings.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten" / cancellation): You may request the deletion of your personal data, particularly when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis, or when you consider that processing is unlawful. We may retain certain data where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Restriction and Objection
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances (for example, while we verify the accuracy of your data or assess an objection).

Data Security
We are committed to protecting personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. We implement a combination of technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risks associated with online gambling services.
Technical Security Measures

- Risk management and audits: We conduct risk assessments and may carry out internal or external security reviews and audits to evaluate the effectiveness of our controls. Where relevant, we seek to align our practices with recognised standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 principles, without implying formal certification unless explicitly stated elsewhere.
Incident Response
- Monitoring and detection: We monitor our systems for suspicious activity and potential security incidents.
- Response procedures: We have procedures to investigate, contain and remediate security incidents. Where a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and, where required by law, the affected individuals without undue delay.
