Locations that we may transfer your personal data

From time to time, service providers, members of the Entain Group and organisations with whom we work with, may be located in other countries. We will, however, always use every reasonable effort to ensure sufficient protections are in place to safeguard your personal data. We will also ensure that our service providers enter into compliant processing agreements with us to ensure that your personal data is processed in a lawful manner.

 

Security

We take compliance with security regulations, standards, guidelines and privacy laws very seriously and promote security measures that will maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data. We use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect customer personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of personal data that we hold.

As a business, we have secure firewalled datacentres, certified encrypted webpages and we are ISO27001:2013 certified. We also take steps to ensure our subsidiaries, agents, affiliates and suppliers employ adequate levels of security across the business.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access attempts.

 

Marketing Communications and your choices

When we first collect your personal data, we’ll ask you to tell us how you would like to hear from us in future about our other products and services. It’ will normally be via a tick boxes on forms or web page and you can opt-out at any time.

What is ‘Opting Out’?

The term opt out refers to several methods by which individuals can avoid receiving unsolicited product or service information. This ability is usually associated with direct marketing campaigns such as telemarketing, e-mail marketing, or direct mail.

*Please consider that ‘opting out’ will not prevent any essential customer correspondence e.g. bet or account correspondence.

How can I opt out of marketing correspondence?

If you do not wish to receive any offers, promotions, information on events and tailored communications based on your account activity, you can request to be made un-contactable by:

  • Using the “unsubscribe” option provided in any marketing communication you receive
  • changing your preferences on your account settings
  • contacting our Customer Support department.

What details do you require from me?

We would need as much of the following as possible, to ensure that you are not sent any further unwanted correspondence:

  • Your full name
  • How we contacted you, i.e. email, SMS, or post
  • The mobile number or email/postal address we contacted you on
  • The mobile number or email address that the message came from
  • The date(s) and time(s) you were contacted
