We maintain detailed audit logs of all data access and processing activities to ensure accountability and detect any unauthorized activities.

Data Retention and Deletion Policies

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Our retention periods are based on business needs, regulatory requirements, and legal considerations specific to the Canadian gaming industry.

Account information is typically retained for the duration of your active account plus seven years after account closure to meet regulatory requirements and potential audit needs. Financial transaction records are maintained for seven years as required by Canadian anti-money laundering legislation and tax regulations.

Gaming activity data and communication records are retained for varying periods depending on their nature and regulatory requirements. Marketing and promotional data is retained only while you maintain active consent for such communications and is promptly deleted upon withdrawal of consent.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your personal information using industry-standard data destruction methods. This process ensures that deleted information cannot be recovered or reconstructed, protecting your privacy even after the relationship ends.
