Legal Basis for Processing
Under data protection laws, particularly the GDPR, we must have a legal basis to process your personal data. At Spinko, we rely on the following bases:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract. This applies to creating and managing your account, processing transactions, and providing access to our games.
- Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject. This includes age verification, identity checks, anti-money laundering (AML) requirements, responsible gambling measures, and reporting to authorities.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests. This includes improving our Services, fraud prevention, network and information security, direct marketing (where consent is not required), and analytics to understand user behavior.
- Consent: In specific situations, we may ask for your explicit consent to process your personal data, for example, for certain marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
Spinko may share your personal information with third parties under specific circumstances, always ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place:
- Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, hosting providers, customer service platforms, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We will disclose your data when legally required to do so, for example, to comply with a court order, subpoena, or government request, or to meet our obligations to our licensing authority and other regulatory bodies. This includes reporting suspicious transactions in line with AML regulations.
- Fraud Prevention and Identity Verification Agencies: To prevent fraud, money laundering, and underage gambling, we may share your information with specialized agencies for identity verification and risk assessment.
- Group Companies: Your data may be shared within our corporate group for internal administrative purposes, such as shared IT systems or customer support.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
- Analytics Providers: We may share anonymized or aggregated data with analytics providers to help us understand user behavior and improve our Services. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Security
Spinko takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a range of technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:
- Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your data during transmission over the internet, particularly for sensitive information like financial details.
- Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized Spinko employees and service providers who require it to perform their job functions. These individuals are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
- Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: We employ firewalls and other network security measures to protect our systems from external threats.
- Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities.
- Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.
While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. We also encourage you to play a role in protecting your data by choosing a strong, unique password and keeping your login credentials confidential.

- Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can request the deletion of your personal data, under certain conditions, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

- Right to Data Portability: You can request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, particularly where we are relying on legitimate interests as our legal basis, or for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
- Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section. 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.

International Data Transfers
Spinko operates globally, and some of our service providers or group companies may be located outside of your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This means your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.
When we transfer your personal data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may include:
- Transferring data to countries deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
- Using standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, which provide specific data protection obligations for the recipient of the data.
- Implementing binding corporate rules (BCRs) for transfers within our corporate group, where applicable.
- Obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer after informing you of the possible risks.
By using Spinko's Services, you understand and agree to the international transfer of your personal data as described in this section.
Children's Privacy
Spinko's Services are strictly not intended for individuals under the legal gambling age (18 years or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.
We implement robust age verification procedures during the account registration process to prevent underage access to our platform. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.
