Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY for www.dealornodealbingo.com and related mobile applications ("Website")

This Privacy Policy is effective from 20th September 2019. We may change this Privacy Policy at any time, and if we do so will post the changes to this page as well as the date that the changes take effect.

Our Privacy Policy below sets out in detail how we process your personal data, and we encourage and recommend that you read it in full.  We understand that people have busy lives though, and so wanted to help you by providing a brief overview of how and why we process your personal data.    

In general, we will only collect the personal data that we need from you to offer you our services. For example, if you want to gamble with us then we'll collect your name, username, contact details, date of birth and address in order to set you up with an account.  We’ll process data on any games that you play so that we can identify if you have won and, of course, pay any winnings to you.    

The other main reason we will process your personal data is to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.  As you may know, in order to provide you with gambling services we are required to have a licence.  As such, we will need to comply with our licence, and this may involve us collecting additional information about you – for example, if you try to set up an account we need to verify your identity and age to make sure that you are who you say you are and that, of course, you are old enough to gamble. Our licence also requires that we make sure you gamble responsibly. This means that we will monitor your gambling activities to check that you are gambling within your means. If we have any concerns about your gambling then we are required to contact you to make sure everything is okay. We take social responsibility very seriously.

Ultimately, we aim to only process your personal data where it is necessary. We will always keep your personal data secure. Your enjoyment of our services and your safety are our primary concerns. 

 

1. Introduction

1.1. This Privacy Policy sets out the way in which Virtue Fusion (Alderney) Limited ("we" or "us"), a company incorporated and registered in Alderney collects and processes Personal Information (as defined in paragraph 2.1 below).  If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the processing of your Personal Information please contact us at privacy@dealornodealbingo.com.

1.2. We operate the Website under a brand licence from Endemol UK Limited ("Brand Owner"). We will share your Personal Information with Brand Owner in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our agreement with Brand Owner.

1.3. By using our Services, you acknowledge that [both] we [and Brand Owner] (and any companies in our [respective] Group[s], as well as any partners and subcontractors) will process your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes set out in paragraph 5 below. If you do not wish to provide your Personal Information on the basis set out in this Privacy Policy, you should not enter the relevant information on the Website, or otherwise provide us with your Personal Information. However, if you do not provide your Personal Information, you may not be able to use all of the Services.

1.4. Capitalised terms not defined in this Privacy Policy are as defined in the Terms & Conditions. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and forms part of, the Terms & Conditions.

 

2. The information we collect

We also collect information about the transactions you undertake, including details of payment cards used.

2.3. As a provider of gambling services, we aim to ensure that you always gamble responsibly.  As such, we may collect information about your physical or mental health. To help ensure that our customers gamble responsibly, it’s important we understand why they self-exclude (or when they should be contacted about the possibility of self-excluding).  We therefore only use this type of data to ensure that you are gambling responsibly, to contact you if we are concerned that you are not gambling responsibly, to enforce any self-exclusion request, and to help us to better identify any responsible gambling concerns in the future for our customers.
