All personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The processing of personal data is conducted on a lawful basis, which in many cases includes the informed consent of the user. Users are encouraged to read this document carefully to understand how their information is managed and what rights they hold in relation to their data.

Privacy and Data Protection at LeoVegas

LeoVegas is committed to handling the personal data of its UK users responsibly, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable data protection law. Personal data is collected only for specified, legitimate purposes and is never processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.

The following points summarise the key aspects of how personal data is collected and protected:

  1. Personal data collected includes name, date of birth, address, email address, telephone number, payment details, and identification documents.
  2. Data is collected at the point of account registration, during transactions, and through ongoing use of the platform.
  3. Information is used for identity verification, account management, transaction processing, regulatory compliance, and service improvement.
  4. Technical security measures include data encryption, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, and firewall protection.
  5. Organisational measures include staff training on data protection obligations and restricted internal access to personal data.
  6. Data is stored on secure servers and retained only for as long as necessary in line with legal and regulatory obligations.
  7. Users are required to provide accurate and up-to-date information at the time of registration and throughout their use of the service.
  8. Personal data is not sold to third parties under any circumstances.
  9. Where data is shared with third parties, this is done only where necessary, lawful, and subject to appropriate data protection agreements.
  10. The platform operates in accordance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission.

Users in the United Kingdom hold a number of rights in relation to their personal data under UK GDPR. These include the right to access data held about them, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, and the right to request deletion of their data in certain circumstances. Requests relating to any of these rights can be submitted through the platform’s designated support channels.

LeoVegas operates in full compliance with United Kingdom privacy and data protection legislation. As a licensed operator under the UK Gambling Commission, the platform adheres to both gambling regulatory requirements and the data protection obligations imposed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

How Collected Information Is Used

Personal data collected by the platform is used for a range of clearly defined purposes that support the delivery of services to users in the United Kingdom. All processing activities are conducted on a lawful basis, including contractual necessity, legal obligation, legitimate interests, and, where applicable, user consent. Data is never processed for purposes beyond those communicated to users at the time of collection. The platform maintains full transparency regarding the basis on which personal data is used at every stage of the user relationship.

The key purposes for which personal data is used are as follows:

  1. Account registration and management, including verifying user identity and maintaining accurate account records.
  2. Processing deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions securely and accurately.
  3. Fulfilling obligations under UK Gambling Commission licensing requirements, including responsible gambling checks and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
  4. Communicating with users regarding account activity, service updates, and responses to support enquiries.
  5. Sending marketing communications, where the user has provided explicit consent, including promotional offers and product updates.
  6. Conducting analytics to improve the platform's performance, usability, and the overall user experience.
  7. Detecting and preventing fraud, suspicious activity, and other forms of misuse of the platform.
  8. Complying with legal and regulatory obligations, including responding to requests from law enforcement and regulatory bodies.
  9. Conducting responsible gambling assessments and intervening where necessary to protect user welfare.
  10. Personalising the platform experience based on user preferences and behaviour, where consent has been obtained.

All data processing activities are underpinned by a lawful basis as defined under UK GDPR. The platform does not engage in any form of automated decision-making that produces significant legal effects without appropriate human oversight, as required by applicable law.

Accessing and Managing Personal Information

Users of the platform in the United Kingdom have the right to view and manage the personal information held in their account at any time. Account details, including contact information and communication preferences, can be reviewed and updated directly through the account settings area of the platform. Where a user identifies inaccurate or outdated information, they are encouraged to correct it promptly to ensure that records remain accurate and current.

Requests to modify, restrict the processing of, or permanently delete personal data should be submitted through the platform’s customer support channels. Such requests will be handled in accordance with the timescales prescribed under UK GDPR, and users will be informed of the outcome without undue delay. In cases where identity verification is required before a request can be processed, users consent to the completion of necessary security checks as part of this procedure. Payment and financial information submitted to the platform is handled by regulated electronic service providers, who process such data in accordance with their own data protection obligations and applicable payment industry standards. The platform is committed to maintaining the highest standards of user privacy and data security throughout every stage of the user’s relationship with the service.

Protection of Children’s Privacy

The platform is strictly intended for users who are 18 years of age or older, in accordance with United Kingdom gambling legislation. Access by minors is prohibited, and users are required to confirm their age and identity as part of the account registration process. However, the platform acknowledges that it cannot independently verify the age of every individual without the submission of appropriate identity documents.

The following points set out the platform’s approach to protecting the privacy of minors:

  1. The platform does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
  2. Age verification checks are conducted as part of the registration and onboarding process in compliance with UK Gambling Commission requirements.
  3. Where a parent or legal guardian believes that a minor has submitted personal data to the platform, they are advised to contact the customer support team immediately.
  4. Upon receiving a verified request from a parent or guardian, any personal data belonging to a minor will be deleted from the platform’s records without undue delay.
  5. The platform cooperates with parental control tools and third-party services designed to restrict underage access to gambling websites.
  6. Any account found to have been opened by a minor will be closed, and any funds held in that account will be handled in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

International Transfers of Personal Data

Personal data collected from users in the United Kingdom may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom, in cases where LeoVegas partners, suppliers, or group entities operate in those jurisdictions. Such transfers may occur as part of standard business operations, including customer support, technical infrastructure, and payment processing. By using the platform and accepting this Privacy Policy, users consent to their personal data being transferred internationally in the circumstances described. All third parties and group entities receiving personal data are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of that data in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

The following points outline the safeguards and conditions that apply to international data transfers:

  1. Personal data is transferred internationally only where a lawful basis for the transfer exists under UK GDPR, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or binding corporate rules.
  2. All third parties receiving personal data are required to process it solely for the purposes for which it was shared.
  3. Data transferred outside the United Kingdom is afforded a level of protection equivalent to that required under UK data protection law.
  4. The platform maintains records of all international data transfer arrangements and reviews them periodically to ensure ongoing compliance.
  5. Where data is transferred to countries without an adequacy decision from the UK government, appropriate safeguards are implemented prior to any transfer.
  6. Users retain all rights over their personal data, including the right to access and request deletion, regardless of where that data is processed.
