Detailed Data Processing Addendum

Data Minimization and Accuracy

Betmaze adheres to the principle of data minimization, ensuring we only collect the information essential for the delivery of our services and our compliance with the UK Gambling Commission requirements. We take reasonable steps to ensure that all personal data held is accurate, complete, and kept up-to-date. Users are encouraged to notify us of any changes to their personal details to ensure our records remain accurate.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

As a UK-facing platform, we primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). In cases where data must be processed by third-party service providers located outside these jurisdictions, we ensure that such transfers are protected by standard contractual clauses or are subject to adequacy decisions that guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to that required under the UK GDPR.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We may use automated decision-making processes, including profiling, to comply with our legal obligations related to anti-money laundering, fraud prevention, and responsible gambling. For example, our systems may automatically flag accounts that exhibit unusual betting patterns or suspected fraudulent activity. You have the right to request human intervention, express your point of view, and contest decisions based solely on automated processing by contacting us at our support email.

Marketing Communications

You have full control over your marketing preferences. If you have provided consent to receive promotional materials, you can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails or by updating your account settings. Even if you opt out of marketing, we will continue to send you essential communications regarding your account, security, and changes to our terms and conditions.

Child Protection

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We employ rigorous age-verification processes to prevent minors from accessing our platform. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records.

Transparency and Regulatory Compliance

The gaming industry is subject to stringent oversight. We maintain transparency regarding our data processing activities to ensure compliance with the UKGC’s License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP). This includes providing clear information to users about how their data is used to ensure the integrity of the games and the protection of player funds.

Security of Payments

We ensure that all financial data is handled with the utmost security. Payments are processed through PCI-DSS compliant gateways. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers. By using our site, you acknowledge that your transaction data may be shared with payment processors and financial institutions as necessary to facilitate your deposits and withdrawals.

Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We value the integrity of our digital infrastructure. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or discover a security vulnerability on our website, please report it immediately to [email protected].
