5. Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:

We ensure that all third parties we share data with are bound by strict data protection obligations and only process data for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions and applicable laws.

6. International Data Transfers – Special Note on Yandex.Metrica

To understand how users engage with our website and improve the user experience, we use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC.

What data is collected by Yandex.Metrica?

Yandex.Metrica collects information about your website usage, such as pages visited, time spent on pages, click paths, device information, IP address (truncated and anonymised), browser type, and operating system. This data helps us analyse website traffic and improve the performance of superwildcat.co.uk.

Why is this a special consideration?

Yandex LLC is based in Russia, a country for which the UK has not issued an adequacy decision regarding its data protection laws. This means that, from a UK GDPR perspective, data transfers to Russia are not considered to offer the same level of protection as within the UK/EEA without additional safeguards.

Our Safeguards and Transparency:

  • Anonymisation: We configure Yandex.Metrica to anonymise your IP address as much as possible before it is processed. We do not transmit directly identifiable personal information (like your name or email) via Yandex.Metrica.
  • Purpose Limitation: The data collected is used solely for website analytics and performance improvement of superwildcat.co.uk.
  • User Control: You have the right to opt-out of Yandex.Metrica tracking. You can do this by installing the Yandex.Metrica opt-out add-on for your browser, or by adjusting your cookie preferences on our site.
  • Transparency: We are disclosing this to you openly to ensure you are fully informed about our data practices, in line with Google's E-E-A-T requirements for trustworthiness.

While we strive to implement all possible technical and organisational safeguards, by using Yandex.Metrica, there is an inherent risk associated with data transfers to a non-adequate country. We continuously review our analytics providers to balance functionality with data protection best practices.

7. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your personal data. We implement robust technical and organisational security measures, including:

In the event of a data breach, we have procedures in place to promptly assess, contain, and report it to the ICO and affected individuals, as required by law.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Specifically, due to our gambling licence obligations and AML regulations, we typically retain account and transaction data for a minimum of five (5) years after the closure of your account. Data related to responsible gambling interactions may be retained for longer periods to ensure continued player protection.

After the retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

9. Your Legal Rights (UK GDPR)

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

To receive clear, transparent, and easily understandable information about how we use your data and your rights (this Privacy Policy serves this purpose).

Right to Erasure

Right to Restrict Processing

To request that we limit the way we use your personal data in certain circumstances.

Right to Data Portability

To receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

To object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making

To object to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 14. 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).
