    • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent contractual mechanisms approved by relevant regulators;
    • robust technical and organisational measures (encryption, access controls, logging) to protect data during transfer and storage; and
    • internal policies to limit access to personal data to those who need it for legitimate business purposes.
  • By using fairspin-play.ca, you understand that your data may be processed in Curaçao, Cyprus, and other countries, and may be accessible to foreign courts, law enforcement, and regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for legal, accounting, regulatory, and reporting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the category of data and applicable law (including AML/CTF and gambling regulations).

Account profile data (name, contact details, account settings) For the duration of your account and up to 5 years after account closure To manage your account, comply with limitation periods for claims, and handle any post-closure disputes.
KYC/AML verification records 5 - 10 years after the end of the business relationship or single transaction, depending on applicable AML laws To comply with mandatory anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, and gaming requirements.
Transaction and gaming history At least 5 years, and up to 7 years after the transaction or account closure where required by law To maintain financial and regulatory records and to defend against potential legal claims.
Marketing preferences and communication logs Until you withdraw consent or object to marketing, plus a short period to maintain suppression lists To respect your marketing choices and demonstrate compliance.
Technical logs and security data 6 months to 3 years, depending on the type of log and security needs To investigate incidents, ensure security, and maintain service integrity.

When the applicable retention period expires, or when data is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Policy, we will securely delete, anonymise, or aggregate the data, unless further retention is required by law.

Your Rights

Your privacy rights may differ depending on your country of residence. We aim to provide a high and broadly harmonised level of protection, taking guidance from the GDPR and Mexican privacy law (including the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties), while also respecting Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA and substantially similar provincial laws).

Key Rights

  • Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of such data, together with information about how we use it.
  • Right to rectification: You can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or completed.
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. We may retain data where required by law (e.g., AML/CTF obligations).
  • Right to restriction of processing: You can request that we temporarily restrict the processing of your data, for example while we assess a correction request or an objection.
  • Right to object: You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and we will assess your request and stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds. You can always object to direct marketing, and we will honour this.
  • Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal. This includes opting out of marketing communications and non-essential cookies.

How to Exercise Your Rights

  1. Submit a request: Contact us at [email protected] with:
    • your full name and account username;
    • the right(s) you wish to exercise;

Where Mexican law applies, we will also respect the statutory periods established there (including initial responses within 20 days, and implementation within 15 additional days, where applicable).
  4. Fees: Requests are processed free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request only where it is manifestly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive, consistent with applicable law.

Data Security

We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. While no system is entirely risk-free, we strive to maintain a level of security proportionate to the risks associated with online gambling operations.

Technical Measures

  • Encryption: Data in transit is protected using industry-standard encryption (such as TLS 1.2 or higher). Where feasible and appropriate, sensitive data at rest is encrypted or pseudonymised.
  • Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorised staff and service providers who require it to perform their duties and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Authentication: We use secure authentication mechanisms; multi-factor authentication is implemented for sensitive internal systems and administrative accounts.
  • Network and system protection: Firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and other tools are used to monitor and defend against unauthorised access and malicious activity.

Organisational Measures

  • Policies and training: Staff with access to personal data receive appropriate privacy and security training and are required to follow internal policies and procedures.
  • Vendor due diligence: We assess relevant service providers for their security practices and require them to implement adequate safeguards.
  • Security testing and audits: We perform internal reviews and, where appropriate, external assessments or audits of our systems and controls.
  • Incident response: We maintain procedures for identifying, investigating, and responding to security incidents. Where required by law, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities of data breaches without undue delay.

We take guidance from recognised security frameworks and international standards (such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2) and endeavour to align our practices with them where appropriate, even if we may not hold formal certifications in all cases.
