Note that we may process your personal data, including sending your personal data to third parties, for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground, we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.

The personal information we have collected from you will be shared with fraud/crime prevention agencies who will use it to prevent fraud and money-laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services.

Before we provide services to you, we undertake checks for the purposes of preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify your identity. These checks require us to process personal data about you.

The personal data you have provided, we have collected from you, or we have received from third parties will be used to prevent fraud and money laundering, and to verify your identity.

Details of the personal information that will be processed include, for example: name, address, date of birth, contact details, financial information, employment details and device identifiers including IP address.

We and fraud/crime prevention agencies may also enable law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal data to detect, investigate and prevent crime.

We process your personal data on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify identity, in order to protect our business and to comply with laws that apply to us. Such processing is also a contractual requirement of the services you have requested.

Fraud/crime prevention agencies can hold your personal data for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.

CONSEQUENCES OF PROCESSING

A record of any fraud or money laundering risk will be retained by the fraud/crime prevention agencies, and may result in others refusing to provide services, financing, or employment to you. If you have any questions about this, please contact us on the details above. 

MARKETING

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. We have established the following personal data control mechanisms:

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or if you provided us with your details when you entered a competition or registered for a promotion and, in each case, you have not agreed to receive that marketing. We may also use this information to stop certain individuals receiving external promotional content.

Where you have agreed to receive such communications, ITG may contact you for marketing purposes by SMS, email, or phone. These marketing messages will provide you with various information about our new games, promotions, and other services.

We may also send push notifications to your mobile device to provide game updates, account communications, promotions, or other relevant messages.

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

By Registering and activating an account with ITG, you provide your express opt-in consent that we may share your personal data with any company outside the ITG group of companies for marketing purposes and whether or not such marketing is directed at you. We will share your personal data with third party marketing partners, such as Facebook (now Meta), Instagram and with other social media platforms. Our marketing partners may use your personal data and various technologies to communicate with you and others, either directly or indirectly, including via email, post, and SMS. By registering and opening an account you provide your consent and recognise our legitimate interest in sharing your personal data with such third parties.

OPTING OUT

Your rights and our contact details are set out below.

COOKIES

A “cookie” is a small text file that is downloaded onto your access device when you visit a website and that enables the website to obtain certain information from your browser which include your preferences. All Websites and game apps including the game launcher which are operated by In Touch Games use cookies and similar technologies to manage login sessions, provide personalised web pages to tailor advertising and other content to reflect your specific needs and interests. A cookie does not harm your access device, nor does it contain any viruses or other malware.

Your browser also generates other information, including which language the website is displayed in, and your Internet Protocol address (“IP address”). An IP address is a set of numbers which is assigned to your computer during a browsing session whenever you log on to the internet via your internet service provider or your network (if you access the internet from, for example a computer at work). Your IP address is automatically logged by our servers and used to collect traffic data about visitors to our website. We also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website.

We also use cookies that obtain information about your device, these include Your IP address, device type, geo-location data and browser information. This information is used to help us identify you for fraud prevention and to detect prohibited practices that might affect your customer experience. Please note we only receive data from your access device when you are logged into your account.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above.

Where required by law, your personal information may also be disclosed to an applicable governmental, regulatory or enforcement authority. Additionally, in circumstances where we deem it appropriate, your personal information may be disclosed to any regulatory authority which has issued any company within the Group with a gambling operator licence.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We have a duty of care to our employees, our players, and the general public – and as a result we may share your personal data with law enforcement and/or other emergency services, if we feel that it is necessary to do so. Examples of our concerns include, but are not limited to, self-harm, harm to others, and harm to children. We are warranted to share this information under GDPR should it impact any vital interest.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We share your personal data within the ITG Group. This may involve transferring some of your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever fraud prevention agencies transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area, they impose contractual obligations on the recipients of that data to protect your personal data to the standard required in the European Economic Area. They may also require the recipient to subscribe to ‘international frameworks’ intended to enable secure data sharing.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we will ensure personal data has a similar degree of protection that it would have in Europe.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

All data on our secure websites is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access your account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

Any data which contains personal information which identifies you will be encrypted at all times whilst in transit over the internet. SSL is a special protocol that automatically encrypts any information sent by you on our secure pages. Our server then reads the information using a private key. This means that your information, be it debit card information or any other personal details, is turned into code that can only be decoded with the private key or password.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

By law to maintain our compliance with AML regulations we are required to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for a period of at least five years after the relationship with the customer has ended. The date the relationship with the customer ends is the last date on which they visit or use our services.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Should you require to exercise any of your legal rights as per above, then you should contact us via email at: dpo@intouchgames.co.uk

Should you wish to make a Subject Access Request you should contact us in writing at: Subject Access Request c/o Legal Department, In Touch Games Limited, IWG Spaces Crossway, 156 Great Charles Street, Birmingham, B3 3HN. Or via email at: dpo@intouchgames.co.uk

You should include adequate information to identify yourself and such other relevant information that will reasonably assist us in fulfilling your request. Your request will be dealt with as soon as possible. Under the GDPR, we may charge an ‘reasonable fee’ for the administration costs for processing such requests. This administration fee is to cover the cost and time involved with gathering the relevant data and administration services such as photocopying and postage and will be no more than £10.

We may reject requests for disclosure or deletion of your information that are unreasonable or extremely impractical such as it requires a disproportionate human or technical effort or require significant changes to our processes and technology and impact our ability to provide the services.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
