Privacy Policy of 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. Although the focus of our offering is on entertainment and gaming, protecting your data is our top priority. On this page, you will find transparent information about what data is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your data.
1. Data Controller and Contact Options
The data controller responsible for processing your personal data is the operator of Instant Casino, which runs the online casino under a valid gambling licence. The exact company name and address can be found in the imprint or footer of the website. For all data protection queries, a dedicated team is available, which you can usually reach via email or the contact form.
2. What Data We Collect About You
When you register with Instant Casino or use the 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 is processed, such as anonymised card data or bank account details.
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, the fulfilment of 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-relevant changes or important updates. You will only receive promotional information if you have expressly consented to it or if there is a legal basis for doing so.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Depending on the type of data processing, Instant Casino relies on different legal bases. The opening and maintenance of your account are based on the performance 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 legitimate interests of the operator, which take into account 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 retained for several years, even after you have closed your account. Once the purpose ceases and no further legal obligations exist, the data concerned will be deleted or continued in an anonymised form, so that it is no longer possible to identify you.
Examples of typical retention 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. |
| Communication Data | Support Enquiries | 1–3 years | Legitimate interest | For tracking processes. |
| Usage Data | Logins, Sessions | Months to a few years | IT Security | Supports the detection of misuse. |
| 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 works with external service providers who assist in delivering the 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. Disclosure to authorities may occur 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 details 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: Training for employees 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 the 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 the processing or request the transfer of your data to another service provider. You can address such requests to the operator's data protection contact.
