- International Data Transfer
Your personal information may be transferred to servers outside your country (possibly located in the jurisdictions where we operate or our service providers are located). Data protection laws in these countries may differ from those in your country.
We will take appropriate measures (such as signing standard contractual terms approved by the European Commission) to ensure that your data remains protected in accordance with the standards described in this policy after the transfer.

We employ industry-standard security technologies and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These measures include:
Encryption: We use SSL/TLS encryption protocols to protect the data you transmit between your browser and our servers.
Access Control: Strict internal access control ensures that only staff required to perform their duties can access your data.
Firewalls and Intrusion Detection: We deploy advanced network security systems to monitor and prevent external attacks.
Despite these protections, please note that data transmission over the internet is not absolutely secure. You assume all risks associated with any data transmission.

Active Account: Your data will be retained while you maintain an active account.
Account Closure: After you close your account or your account is closed due to inactivity, we may retain some of your data in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements (such as anti-money laundering records typically being kept for more than 5 years). This retention is solely for compliance and dispute resolution purposes, and your account will not be able to be reactivated for betting.
