2. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

We collect and process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • performance of the Agreement and fulfilment of the obligations contained therein – processing is necessary to conclude and to fulfil Our obligations laid down in the Agreement, 
  • performance of legal obligations – processing is necessary to fulfil one or more legal obligations pertaining on Us,
  • to pursue various legitimate interests, such as security, preventing and investigating any offence(s) against Us, public relations and customer relations management, and/or defence of legal or other claims. 

2.1 Processing for other purposes

In principle, personal data is only processed for the purposes for which it was collected. However, personal data may also be processed for other purposes if they are compatible with the original purposes or if doing so is necessary for legal reasons.

 

3. DATA RETENTION

Your data will be stored for the duration of the Agreement and following the termination of the Agreement, your data will be stored in accordance with the requirements laid down by the applicable laws and in order to establish, defend and/or exercise legal claims.

 

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING AND DATA TRANSFER

As a licensed gambling operator, We are particularly subject to applicable laws and regulations concerning gambling and thereto related services in those jurisdictions We have a gambling license(s), which require Us to collect and process your personal data. In addition, We also process your personal data for legitimate interests and the necessity for the performance of the Agreement.

 

5. DISCLOSURE AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

We process your personal data in the strictest confidence and only disclose your personal data to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy and to persons authorised to process personal data, who have undertaken to observe confidentiality or are subject to appropriate statutory confidentiality.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, We may disclose your personal data in cases where We are required to do so by law, regulation or as a result of a request from an authority (police, tax office or other authorities) to disclose personal data. We may also disclose your personal data in cases where We suspect that a crime has been committed.

5.1 Third parties

Your personal data may, for the purposes described above, be transferred or disclosed to, subject to appropriate agreements, carefully chosen third parties for example for the subsequent purposes:

  • Business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of the Agreement We enter into with you, such as process payments, and manage the business relationship with you.

5.2 Within the Group

  • For the purposes described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred within the Paf Group. Disclosure of personal data within the Group of companies primarily serves to manage personal data and process various matters in connection with the Agreement.

5.3 Transfer of personal data

  • We always strive to process personal data within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) as far as possible. In cases where it is necessary to transfer personal data outside of the EU/EEA, e.g. for the purpose of disclosing personal data to a data processor who, either themselves or through one of their subcontractors, stores personal data in a country outside of the EU/EEA or has its subsidiaries in a country outside of the EU/EEA, We take the necessary and adequate legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure that the level of protection corresponds to that of EU. When personal data is transferred to a country outside of EU/EEA, the level of protection is determined either by the list of countries maintained by the European Commission, and containing countries with adequate data protection legislation. Other suitable safeguards are approved codes of conduct in the recipient country and the application of internal, binding company guidelines, and the use of standard contractual clauses.
