  • our use of your personal data is necessary to support ‘legitimate interests’ that we have as a business (for example, so that you can receive certain communications from us, to analyse and share the underlying personal data collected via cookies for analytics and advertising purposes, to improve our products or marketing communications or to carry out analytics across our data sets, or to respond to your enquiries via our customer support service, if we make one available), in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy.

Who do we share your personal data with?

We work with many third parties to help manage our business and deliver services. From time to time, these third parties may require access to your personal data:

  • mailing and SMS application providers, which process personal data on our behalf as data processors
  • plugin providers and hosts, which process personal data on our behalf as data processors
  • chatbot platforms and providers, which process personal data on our behalf as data processors
  • other service providers (e.g. cloud services providers, hosting providers, authentication providers etc), which process personal data on our behalf as data processors
  • analytics and cookies (and similar technologies) service providers, who also process personal data for their own purposes as Data Controllers. Please refer to our Cookie Policy if you would like to know more about how we use cookies and to identify how you may prevent these providers from accessing your personal data.
  • advertising partners (e.g. ad networks such as third-party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology suppliers and research firms, affiliate links partners) who also process personal data for their own purposes as Data Controllers. These are identified through our cookie consent management platform. Please read their privacy policies to find out how they collect and process your personal data
  • third-party applications or social media services (for example Facebook or Telegram Messenger, Whatsapp messaging), which also process personal data for their own purposes as Data Controllers. These may be integrated with the site in various ways (for example, we may integrate social media messaging or chatbots on our site, use social media accounts or groups that allow you to interact with us and the site or send you various communications in other ways, which will involve us collecting some of your personal data or the social media provider or third-party application receiving some of your information (see more in Section 1 above)
  • law enforcement and data protection authorities, if we are under a duty to disclose to and comply with a legal obligation or protect our interests or security.
  • in the event that we sell, buy or reorganise any business or assets or if our assets are acquired by a third party, including prospective sellers or buyers.

International Transfers

International Transfers mean that personal data is transferred to a country outside the European Union.

As set out in Section 4 above, we may grant third parties who may be located outside the European Union access to your personal data. In such instances, we shall ensure that the transfer of your personal data is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and, in particular, that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission.

We may also disclose your personal data if we receive a legal or regulatory request from a foreign law enforcement body outside the European Union.

We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of information is managed to protect your rights and interests. Any requests for information that we receive from law enforcement or regulators will be carefully checked before personal data is disclosed.

You have the right to ask us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place, as mentioned above. For further information, contact us (see Section 8).

Direct Marketing

We may use your personal data to send you direct marketing communications regarding products and services that CDN and its advertising partners offer, for example in relation to online casino, sports betting and financial services. This may be in the form of emails, SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook or Telegram messenger or targeted online advertisements.

The use and processing of your personal data for the purpose of sending you electronic marketing messages will be based on your consent to receive such messages. When permitted by law, it will be based on our legitimate interest (see Section 3 above). Provided that we have received your consent, we will use third parties to help us to process your personal data for marketing purposes (see Section 4 above).

You retain the right to unsubscribe from any further electronic marketing communications at any time after giving us your consent to send such messages. You can use the opt-out link included in all direct electronic marketing communications or contact us (see Section 8).

We take steps to limit direct marketing to a reasonable and proportionate level and to send you communications that we believe may be of interest or relevance to you, based on the information we have about you.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We will retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes listed in Section 3 of this Policy.

In some circumstances, we keep your personal data for a certain period of time in order to meet legal, tax or accounting requirements for example. Otherwise, we keep it for as long as we have a contractual obligation with you (e.g. if you are a registered user).

In terms of our marketing and targeting activities, we will collect and process your data until you have withdrawn your consent for collection. See also Section 8 below.

We maintain a data retention policy for personal data in our care. Where your personal data is no longer required, we will ensure that it is either securely deleted or made anonymous.

What are your rights?

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. More information on each of these rights can be found by referring to the table set out further below.

To exercise your rights, you may contact us by sending an email to [email protected]

Please note the following if you wish to exercise your rights:

Right What this means
Access You can ask us to: confirm whether we are processing your personal data; give you a copy of that data; provide you with other information on your personal data, for example, what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it outside the EU and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out any Automated Decision Making or Profiling, to the extent that information has not already been provided to you in this Policy.
Rectification You can ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.
Erasure You can ask us to erase your personal data but only where: ·       it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected; or ·       you have withdrawn your consent (where processing was based on consent); or ·       following a successful right to object (see ‘Objection’ below); or ·       it has been processed unlawfully; or to comply with a legal obligation. We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary: ·       for compliance with a legal obligation; or ·       for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your erasure request, although these two are the most likely circumstances in which we would deny that request
Restriction You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your personal data but only where: ·       its accuracy is contested (see Rectification), to allow us to verify its accuracy; or ·       the processing is unlawful but you do not want it to be erased; or ·       it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending. We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where: we have your consent; or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
Portability You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format or you can ask to have it ‘ported’ directly to another Data Controller – but in each case, only 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.
Objection You can object to any processing of your personal data which has our ‘legitimate interests’ as its legal basis, if you believe that your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. We have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests that override your rights and freedoms.
International Transfers You can ask to obtain a copy of – or reference to – the safeguards under which your personal data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area. We may redact data transfer agreements or related documents (i.e. obscure certain information contained within these documents) for commercial sensitivity reasons.
Supervisory Authority You have a right to lodge a complaint with the responsible local supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. We kindly ask that you attempt to resolve any issues with us first, although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.
