Privacy Policy for Instant Casino
In this Privacy Policy, we explain how Instant Casino handles your personal data when you use the platform, create an account, or contact support. While our offering focuses on entertainment and gaming, protecting your data is our highest priority. On this page, you'll find transparent information about what data is collected, how it's used, and your rights regarding your data.
1. Data Controller and Contact Information
The operator of Instant Casino, who runs the online casino under a valid gambling licence, is responsible for processing your personal data. You can find the exact company name and address in the imprint or the footer of the website. For all data protection inquiries, a dedicated team is available, which you can usually reach via email or through the contact form.
2. What Data We Collect About You
When you register with Instant Casino or use our services, various categories of personal data are processed. This includes master data such as name, date of birth, and address; contact data such as email address and phone number; and usage data such as login times, IP address, and pages visited. Additionally, payment information required for deposits and withdrawals, such as anonymised card data or bank account details, is processed.
3. Purposes of Data Processing
Data processing is carried out for clearly defined purposes. These include, in particular, the creation and management of your player account, the processing of deposits and withdrawals, compliance with legal obligations under anti-money laundering regulations, and the provision of a secure gaming environment. Furthermore, your contact details may be used for notifications about security-related changes or important updates. You will only receive promotional information if you have explicitly consented to it or if there is a legal basis.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Depending on the type of data processing, Instant Casino relies on different legal bases. The opening and management of your account are based on the fulfilment of a contract, while certain checks and retention periods result from legal requirements, such as anti-money laundering. Some measures for IT security and fraud prevention are based on the operator's legitimate interests, which consider your rights and freedoms. For optional marketing activities, your consent is usually obtained, which you can withdraw at any time.
5. Data Retention Period and Deletion
Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or as required by legal retention periods. Transaction and account information may therefore be kept for several years, even after you have closed your account. Once the purpose ceases and no further legal obligations exist, the relevant data will be deleted or continued in an anonymised form, making it impossible to identify you.
Examples of Typical Storage Periods
| Data Category | Example | Typical Duration | Legal Basis | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account Data | Name, Address, Date of Birth | Account lifetime + several years | Contractual obligations | Necessary for managing your gaming history. |
| Transaction Data | Deposits and Withdrawals | At least 5 years | Legal requirements | Used, among other things, for anti-money laundering prevention. |
| Communication Data | Support Inquiries | 1–3 years | Legitimate interest | For tracking processes. |
| Usage Data | Logins, Sessions | Months to a few years | IT Security | Supports the detection of abusive use. |
| Marketing Data | Newsletter settings | Until withdrawal of consent | Consent | No longer used after unsubscribing. |
6. Disclosure to Third Parties and Processors
In certain cases, Instant Casino collaborates with external service providers who assist in delivering our services. These include payment service providers, server infrastructure operators, identity verification providers, or analytics service providers. These companies act as data processors under strict contractual agreements and may only process your data for the agreed purposes and in compliance with high security standards. Data may be disclosed to authorities if there is a legal obligation to do so.
7. Security and Technical Safeguards
To protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or manipulation, Instant Casino employs a range of technical and organisational measures. These include encrypted connections, access restrictions for employees, regular security updates and backups, as well as monitoring mechanisms to detect suspicious activities. As a user, you also contribute to security by treating your login credentials confidentially and logging out of your account after use.
Examples of Technical and Organisational Measures
- Encryption: Use of secure connections between your browser and the servers.
- Access Control: Role-based rights for employees with logging of changes.
- Updates: Regular security updates for server and application software.
- Backups: Creation of backup copies to prevent data loss due to technical defects.
- Monitoring: Systems that detect suspicious activities and login attempts.
- Training: Employee training on the secure handling of customer data.
8. Your Rights as a Data Subject
You have various rights regarding your personal data. These include, in particular, the right to information about stored data, the right to rectification of inaccurate data, the right to erasure under certain conditions, and the right to restriction of processing. Furthermore, in certain cases, you can object to processing or request the transfer of your data to another service provider. You can address such requests to the operator's data protection contact.
