Right to Access personal data: You have a right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. Please visit the Contact Us page to get in touch, should you wish to make such a request. In your request, please give as much information as possible to identify yourself with, to assist us in gathering the information requested.

We will respond to such a request within one month which will require your identification to be verified prior to release of relevant personal data.

Your information provided by us, on your request, will be communicated to you in a way which can be transferred to another party if required.

Right to Erasure: You can request us to erase your personal data where there is no lawful basis requiring us to continue processing this personal data. This right only applies in certain circumstances given that our legal obligations include data retention periods.

Right to Rectification of Personal data: You can request that we correct any personal data that we are processing about you which is incorrect.

Right to be informed: Where the application of a personal data right has impacted on your personal data, you have the right to be informed.

Right to data portability: Similar to the right to access personal data, this right allows you to obtain your personal data in an electronic format that would enable you to transfer that personal data to another organisation, should it be relevant.

Rights relating to automated decision making and profiling: You have the right to not be subject to a decision which is based only on automated processing, i.e. without human involvement. In instances where a decision has a legal impact or otherwise significantly affects you, particularly. We confirm that we do not make automated decisions of this nature.

As referred to above, you also have the general right to withdraw the consent you have given us to process your personal data (in respect of our marketing activities) and where this processing is based on what we deem to be our legitimate interest.

You have a right to opt-out of any marketing communications, which players can do so by opting-out through your account. This can be found in your Account Settings under Personal Details > Emails and Notifications > Promotions and Marketing materials.
