Who this policy applies to
This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by Karhubet in the course of providing online casino services. It covers accounts opened on this platform, gameplay sessions, and all related interactions. Karhubet acts as the controller of this data and is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing. You should read this document carefully before engaging with any of our services to understand your rights. The policy governs how we collect, use, and protect your information across all digital touchpoints.
The scope includes data collected during registration, deposit transactions, game participation, and support communications. It also covers data automatically generated by your device when accessing our website or mobile applications. We do not process data for third-party services that are not integrated into our platform. This distinction ensures that your information remains within our controlled environment unless specific legal exceptions apply. Understanding these boundaries helps you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information.
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes through our website and account dashboard. The current version governs all processing activities occurring after its publication date. You will always have the opportunity to review updates before continuing to use our services. This ensures transparency and maintains trust between our organisation and our valued players.
When you register, you agree to the terms of this policy as it applies to your specific account. This agreement remains in force until you close your account or request deletion of your data. Your continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any updates to this document. We maintain a complete archive of all policy versions for your reference at any time.
Categories of personal data
Categories of personal data collected by Karhubet form the foundation of your account management. Identity and contact details include your full name, residential address, email, and telephone number. We require these to verify your identity and maintain secure communication channels. Without this information, we cannot comply with legal obligations to know your identity under anti-money laundering regulations. This verification is mandatory for all players regardless of deposit frequency.
Verification documents confirm your identity against official records. Financial data covers payment methods used for deposits and withdrawals, including Visa, Mastercard and Skrill. Transaction records include amounts, timestamps, and payment provider references. These records are essential for preventing fraud and ensuring regulatory compliance. Gameplay records track your betting activity, game preferences, and session outcomes across 1,800 titles. Device and connection data capture browser type, IP address, and session duration. Communications with support document any queries or disputes you raise. We distinguish between data you provide voluntarily and data generated automatically through your use of the service. Understanding this distinction helps you know what information is essential versus optional.
| Data Category | Example Items |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, address, DOB |
| Financial | €20 |
| Verification | Passport, utility bill |
Legal bases for processing
Legal bases for processing personal data underpin every operation we conduct. Legal compliance forms another critical basis for our operations. Anti-money laundering regulations require us to verify customer identities before allowing any €20. Tax authorities mandate retention of financial transaction records for auditing purposes. These obligations take precedence over customer preferences and cannot be waived. Understanding these requirements explains why certain data processing is mandatory regardless of your consent. We must balance these obligations against your privacy rights in every decision.
Legitimate interests allow us to prevent fraud and improve service quality. Customer support quality improvement ensures we meet professional standards. Responsible gambling monitoring protects vulnerable players from harm. These interests are balanced against your privacy rights in every decision we make. Contract performance covers processing necessary to deliver the casino services you have requested, including €350 eligibility. Consent for marketing enables us to send promotional offers and 125 bonuses. We only use this basis when you have explicitly agreed to receive such communications.
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Account opening | Contract performance |
| Fraud detection | Legitimate interests |
| Marketing emails | Consent |
Data retention periods
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy. Retention periods are tied to regulatory requirements rather than operational preferences. We maintain strict schedules for data deletion once these periods expire. This approach minimises unnecessary data accumulation while ensuring legal compliance. Your data is never kept longer than absolutely required by law or business necessity.
Account data is retained for the lifetime of your account plus five years after closure. This period allows us to address any disputes that may arise retrospectively. Transaction records are kept for seven years following the last transaction. This longer period satisfies financial regulatory requirements for audit trails. Verification documents follow the same retention schedule as account data. These periods are fixed and cannot be shortened at our discretion.
Marketing consents are retained only for the duration of the consent period. Once you withdraw consent, we cease processing your data for marketing purposes. However, we may retain minimal information to ensure you are not contacted again. This respects your choice while preventing accidental re-contact. Account data deletion is irreversible once the retention period expires. You should be aware that some records may be retained for legal disputes.
We implement automated systems to identify and delete data at the end of retention periods. This reduces human error and ensures consistent application of our retention policy. Regular audits verify that deletion schedules are followed accurately. If you request early deletion, we will consider it unless legal obligations prevent it. However, we cannot guarantee immediate deletion if data is subject to legal hold procedures.
Your data protection rights
Your data protection rights under data protection laws include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Exercising these rights requires submission of a formal request to our data protection officer. We verify your identity before processing any request to protect against unauthorised access. Standard processing time is one month from receipt of your complete request. We may extend this period by two additional months for complex requests. You will be informed of any extension within the initial one-month period. You may withdraw consent at any time through account settings without affecting other lawful processing.
Some rights are limited where records must be retained by law. For example, we cannot delete transaction records before the statutory retention period expires. This ensures we can comply with financial regulations and tax obligations. You may object to marketing but cannot object to legally required processing. We balance your rights against our legal obligations in every decision. For instance, retaining financial data is necessary to process withdrawals to your Bank Transfer and Skrill. Understanding these limitations helps you make informed decisions about data sharing and account management.
| Right | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Standard request | 1 month |
| Complex request | 2 months |
| Identity verification | Required |
Security measures and complaints
We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments. We maintain physical security protocols for any paper records that may be stored. Staff receive regular training on data protection and security best practices. However, no system can guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. Understanding these limitations helps set realistic expectations about data protection.
Security measures are continuously reviewed and updated to address emerging threats. We employ industry-standard protocols for data transmission and storage. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. Regular penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This proactive approach ensures our security remains robust against evolving threats.
Complaints about data processing should first be directed to our data protection officer. We investigate all complaints thoroughly and respond within the statutory timeframe. If unsatisfied with our response, you may contact the relevant supervisory authority. In the UK, this would be the Information Commissioner's Office. We always encourage direct resolution before escalating to external bodies.
We maintain a contacts page with detailed information for lodging complaints. Use this page to find our official mailing address and email addresses. All communications are handled confidentially and with due diligence. Your feedback helps us improve our data protection practices continuously. We take all complaints seriously and learn from each one we receive.
