These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

We ensure that any third parties with whom we share your data are subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Data Security

MegaSpielhalle is committed to protecting your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We implement robust technical and organisational security measures, including:

  • Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your device and our servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it.
  • Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: We employ firewalls and other network security measures to protect our systems from external threats.
  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to enhance our security protocols.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purposes for which it is processed.

For example, we typically retain account and transaction data for a period mandated by anti-money laundering and gambling regulations, even after your account is closed. Marketing consent data is retained until you withdraw consent. Once your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

International Data Transfers

MegaSpielhalle operates globally, and your personal information may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These countries may not have the same level of data protection laws as your home jurisdiction.

When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or relying on other legal mechanisms that provide adequate protection.

Children's Privacy

MegaSpielhalle's Services are strictly for individuals who are at least 18 years old or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our records.

If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
