The criteria We use to determine what is ‘necessary’ depends on the nature of the particular personal data in question. Our normal practice is to determine whether there is/are any specific EU and/or national law(s) (for example license requirement, tax or corporate laws) permitting or even obliging Us to keep certain personal data for a period of time (in which case We will keep the personal data for the maximum period indicated by any such law) and if not, whether there are any laws and/or contractual provisions that may be invoked against Us by You and/or third parties and if so, what the prescriptive periods for such actions are. In the latter case, We will keep any relevant personal data that We may need to defend Ourselves against any claim(s), challenge(s) or other such action(s) by You and/or third parties.

Where Your personal data is no longer required by Us, We will either securely delete or anonymise the personal data in question.

We will generally retain your personal data for a maximum period of ten years from the closure of your account. There are some exceptions to this retention period, namely:

  • If you are permanently self-excluded from any of our services, we will retain this information indefinitely.
  • If you are under investigation or where we have identified possible fraudulent or other criminal activity, we may retain your personal data for longer and as required in order to cooperate with the relevant authorities.
  • If there is a legal dispute, we will retain your personal data for at least the entire duration of the dispute and as may be required in order to defend our rights in any subsequent claim or any subsequent proceeding arising from the same.

Due to gaming authority restrictions relating to the use of multiple accounts, players are only permitted to create and use a single account per brand on the LeoVegas system as per our terms and conditions, therefore as long as we store, for the above mentioned purposes, all of the Personal Data of the player, the player may, following a closure only re-open their existing account, provided the account its eligible for opening.

In any case, We shall not be legally bound to comply with Your erasure request if the processing of Your personal data is necessary:

  • for compliance with a legal obligation to which We are subject (including but not limited to Our data retention obligations); or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

There are other legal grounds entitling Us to refuse erasure requests although the two instances above are the most likely grounds that may be invoked by Us to deny such requests. You may request the erasure by contacting us.

8.4 The Right to Data Restriction

You have the right to ask Us to restrict (that is, store but not further process) Your personal data but only where:

  • The accuracy of Your personal data is contested (see the right to data rectification above), for a period enabling Us to verify the accuracy of the personal data; or
  • The processing is unlawful, and You oppose the erasure of Your personal data; or
  • We no longer need the personal data for the purposes for which they were collected but You need the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • You exercised Your right to object and verification of Our legitimate grounds to override Your objection is pending.

Following Your request for restriction, except for storing Your personal data, We may only process Your personal data:

  • Where We have Your consent; or
  • For the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • For the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or
  • For reasons of important public interest.

You may request the restriction by contacting us.

8.5. The Right to Data Portability

You have the right to ask Us to provide Your personal data (that You shall have provided to us) to You in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or (where technically feasible) to have it 'ported' directly to another data controller, provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. This right shall only apply where:

  • The processing is based on Your consent or on the performance of a contract with You; and
  • The processing is carried out by automated means.

To a great extent, you may exercise this right by activating “download my data” functionality of your profile. For any request over and above the data provided or if you would like us to assist you with the actual transfer of such data to another operator, please contact us.

If you are a customer of another gaming operator and would like to have your data “ported” to Us, please contact us. In this respect please note, that notwithstanding any portability right utilisation, you will still be expected to provide all Registration and Contact Data due to the requirements of our customer registration / sign up procedure requirements.

8.6. The Right to Object to Certain Processing

In those cases where We process Your personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or when processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Us or by a third party (as indicated in the Table in the clause 3.2 above), You shall have the right to object to processing of Your personal data by Us.

When Your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, You have the right to object at any time to the processing of Your personal data, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

For the avoidance of all doubt, when We process Your personal data when this is necessary for the performance of a contract, when necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which We are subject or when processing is necessary to protect Your vital interests or those of another natural person, this general right to object shall not subsist.

With respect to Direct marketing of our own goods and services incl. related profiling, You may object to such processing at any time, by contacting us or by selecting your preferences on your account Profile – Settings page.

8.7. Right to withdraw consent (when we process your data on the basis of consent)

In those cases where We process Personal Data on the basis of Your consent (which We will never presume but which We shall have obtained in a clear and manifest manner from You), YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT AT ANY TIME and this, in the same manner as You shall have provided it to Us.

Should You exercise Your right to withdraw Your consent We will determine whether at that stage an alternative legal basis exists for processing Your Personal Data (for example, on the basis of a legal obligation to which We are subject) where We would be legally authorised (or even obliged) to process Your Personal Data without needing Your consent and if so, notify You accordingly.

When We ask for such Personal Data, You may always decline, however should You decline to provide Us with necessary data that We require to provide requested services, We may not necessarily be able to provide You with such services (especially if consent is the only legal ground that is available to Us).

Just to clarify, **consent is not the only ground that permits Us to process Your Personal Data (**As indicated in the Table in the clause 3.2 above there are various grounds that We rely on when processing Your Personal Data for specific purposes).

8.8 The Right to lodge a Complaint

You also have the right to lodge complaints with the appropriate Data Protection Supervisory Authority. The competent authority in Malta is the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (OIDPC). We kindly ask that You please attempt to resolve any issues You may have with Us first (even though, as stated above, You have a right to contact the competent authority at any time).

8.9 WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

When exercising your rights by contacting us, 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.

8.10 TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month (unless a shorter period is required by law). 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.

8.11 DIFFERENT BRANDS

LeoVegas is operating its gaming business also under other brands and trademarks. For the purpose of the exercise of your rights as provided above, and for the purpose of clarity and legibility of our reply, we will initially comply with the requests with respect to data processed under the brand from where the request is originating. Should you wish your requests to be complied with respect to all of the brands with respect to which LeoVegas operates its business, please make sure to flag this in your request.

9. AUTOMATED PROCESSING - PROFILING

9.1. Meaningful information about the logic involved in the automated processing for responsible gaming purposes

LeoVegas is on the basis of the applicable laws and license conditions legally obliged to monitor its players in order to identify people who may be experiencing, or at risk of developing, problems with their gambling, and interact with them to offer help or support. To this end, and to fulfil this obligation, by using historical data describing behaviour of players, in particular certain Responsible Gaming Data, Transaction and Usage Data, and Other Communication Data (in particular notably sentiment used in message) LeoVegas has established rules regarding who is likely to suffer from gambling addiction and then take relevant action.

Our approach is based on classification trees because they allow for clear interpretation of why players get classified as potential gambling addicts. Based on data describing unique players, the algorithm provides us with an estimated probability of gambling addiction. Decisions, on the basis of the prediction, are not taken automatically without human intervention.

9.2. Meaningful information about the logic involved in the automated processing for AML purposes

LeoVegas is, on the basis of the applicable laws and license conditions, legally obliged to monitor its players in order to identify potentially suspicious activities regarding AML/CFT. Based on data describing the behaviour of players, in particular Transaction and Usage Data, the algorithm suggests a risk profile.

Decisions, on the basis of the prediction, are not taken automatically and require human intervention.

9.3. Meaningful information about the logic involved in the automated processing for loyalty/VIP segmentation purposes

By making use of the historical data that players generated in their first 2 days, We assess whether You will qualify for our VIP/loyalty program. This model is used on fresh players and depending on their involvement with our services the VIP status is predicted. The result of the model is a prediction as to whether the player will become a VIP. Apart from gender, country and age, we do not make use of personally identifiable information as input in the model. Decisions, on the basis of the prediction, are not taken automatically without human intervention. The process is based on our compliance with legal obligation and with respect to the loyalty offers, the performance of our contract with You as well as the legitimate interest of LeoVegas regarding its commitment in providing customised, quality experience and reward loyalty of the players. You can object to such processing by contacting us or changing your preferences in your account.

9.4. Meaningful information about logic involved in automated processing with respect to direct marketing segments

By making use of Your Transaction and Usage data, certain Registration Data such as gender, country, date of birth and Your overall interaction with our services, We analyse and establish various segments of the customers. These segments are then processed manually, in order to ensure that We provide the most appropriate offers and bonuses to our customers. These decisions are not taken automatically without human intervention. The process is based on legitimate interest of LeoVegas regarding providing customised, quality experience for the players and reward loyalty of the players. You can object to such processing by contacting us or changing your preferences in your account.

9.5. Meaningful information about logic involved in automated processing with respect to Sports Risks Segments (applicable only where Sportsbook is available)

LeoVegas is manually processing your Sports Risks Segments as established by the sportsbook provider – Kambi. The Sports Risk Segments are established by Kambi on the basis of automated profiling performed by Kambi. They use automated processing to suggest a risk profile, however such risk profile is confirmed or amended by Kambi's personnel. In conjunction with provision of its services, Kambi uses automated risk management technology to assess the risk of particular betting activities. If You seek to undertake a bet that falls outside of the parameters associated with your risk profile, the bet is flagged for Kambi’s personnel to review. To safeguard your rights and interests, Kambi allows you to contest any decision that they make about your risk profiling or to object to our use of profiling. To this end, please contact us (LeoVegas). More information on processing activities performed by Kambi please consult Kambi’s privacy notice here: https://www.kambi.com/player-fair-processing-notice

9.6. Meaningful information about logic involved in automated processing with respect to Game recommendation

By making use of your Transaction and Usage data, we provide you a list of games that is aligned with your tastes and preferences. The system determines your affinity towards different games and generalises your preferences to unseen games. Ranking the computed preferences, an ordered list of games is produced and can be served as recommendations.

The game's recommendation is produced without human intervention. The process is based on legitimate interest of LeoVegas regarding providing customised, quality experience for the players.
