Alternative Dispute Resolution and Complaints Platforms

• In the event of a dispute or complaint that you raise via recognized ADR or complaints platforms (e.g., Casino.guru, AskGamblers), we may share relevant account, transaction, and communication records with such platforms to help resolve your complaint. This occurs only with appropriate safeguards and limited to data strictly necessary for the specific case.

Business Transfers

• If we undergo a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or part of our business, personal data may be transferred to the relevant third parties as part of the transaction, subject to confidentiality and data protection safeguards. In such cases, we will ensure that your rights are preserved and that you are informed of any material changes.

International Transfers

• Your data may be processed in, or transferred to:

  • Other countries: Where certain technical, payment, or analytics providers host or process data, which may include jurisdictions outside Canada and the European Economic Area.

Data Retention

OBSERVE: Retention needs arise from gaming, AML, tax, and dispute requirements. EXPAND: Differentiate by data category and purpose. REFLECT: Provide typical timeframes and deletion criteria extended through 2026.

General Principles

• We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
  • Operating your Lucky Ones Casino account on luckyonesbet-ca.com;
  • Complying with legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations;
  • Resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements;
  • Maintaining appropriate records for audit and security purposes.
• Where applicable laws require minimum retention periods (for example, for AML or accounting records), we will retain data for at least those periods, typically up to 5 - 10 years from the relevant event depending on the category and jurisdiction.

Typical Retention Periods

• Account and identification data: Generally retained for the duration of your active account and for up to 5 years after account closure or last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is required by AML, regulatory, or legal obligations.
• KYC and AML documentation: Copies of identification documents, address proofs, and AML investigation records are typically retained for up to 5 - 10 years from the date of collection or from the end of the business relationship, in line with applicable AML/CTF rules.
• Transaction and financial data: Deposits, withdrawals, and related accounting records are retained for at least 5 years following the relevant transaction, or longer where required for tax or financial reporting.
• Gameplay and behavioural data: Retained for as long as needed to provide services, support responsible gambling, and address disputes, typically up to 5 years after account closure, after which it may be anonymized or aggregated.
• Marketing data: Data used solely for marketing is retained until you withdraw your consent or object to such processing, or until it becomes obsolete due to inactivity, after which it may be anonymized or deleted.
• Logs and security data: Technical logs and security-related records are generally retained for shorter periods (often 6 - 24 months), unless extended retention is necessary for security investigations or legal purposes.

Deletion and Anonymization

• When data is no longer needed and no legal obligation requires its retention, we will:
  • Securely delete or irreversibly anonymize the data so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual; or
  • Archive it with restricted access where limited retention is still required.
• Where you request deletion of your data and no overriding legal ground exists to keep it, we will delete or anonymize it in line with our internal procedures and applicable laws.

Your Rights

OBSERVE: Align with strong privacy standards similar to GDPR. EXPAND: Provide clear procedures, timeframes, and fee rules. REFLECT: Enable users to exercise control over their data across jurisdictions, even where specific statutes differ.

Regardless of your province of residence in Canada (excluding Ontario, which we do not actively target), we aim to align our privacy practices with robust international standards such as those reflected in the EU's GDPR. The references below are for clarity and do not themselves create EU or Mexican jurisdiction over our operations.

Right of Access

• You may request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, obtain a copy of such data, together with information about the purposes of processing, categories of data, and recipients.

Right to Rectification

• You may request that we correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete personal data relating to you, for example if your contact details, address, or payment information changes.

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

• You may request deletion of your personal data where:
  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • You have withdrawn consent (where consent was the basis) and no other legal ground applies;
  • You have successfully objected to the processing (see below); or
  • The data has been unlawfully processed.
• We may not be able to delete data where retention is required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, particularly in AML, gaming, and accounting contexts.

Right to Restriction of Processing

• You may request that we restrict processing of your data (other than storage) where:
  • You contest the accuracy of the data (for the duration of our verification);
  • Processing is unlawful, and you prefer restriction to deletion;
  • We no longer need the data, but you require it for legal claims; or
  • You have objected to processing and we are considering our legitimate grounds.

Right to Object

• You may object at any time to processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests (including profiling), on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will assess your request and cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests or where processing is needed for legal claims.
• You may always object to direct marketing, including profiling related to such marketing, in which case we will stop using your data for that purpose.

Right to Data Portability

• Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have it transmitted directly to another controller.

Right to Withdraw Consent

• Where we rely on your consent (e.g., for marketing communications or certain cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time by:
  • Using the unsubscribe or settings links in our emails or messages;
  • Adjusting your notification or marketing preferences in your Lucky Ones Casino account, where available;
  • Contacting us at [email protected].
• Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, but we will stop further processing based on that consent.

  • Your full name and registered account details (if applicable);
  • The specific right(s) you wish to exercise; and

• Fees: Requests are handled free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

OBSERVE: Cookies support core operations, analytics, and marketing. EXPAND: Distinguish types and control mechanisms. REFLECT: Provide clear, actionable guidance on managing preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly necessary (functional) cookies: Essential for the operation of luckyonesbet-ca.com, enabling basic functions such as secure login, session management, navigation, and account-related features. These cookies are generally set in response to your actions and cannot be switched off in our systems, though you may block them through your browser (which may impair functionality).
• Preference cookies: Remember your choices (such as language, currency, and display preferences) to provide a more personalized experience on subsequent visits.
• Analytics and performance cookies: Collect aggregated data about how visitors use our Site (e.g., most visited pages, error occurrences, device statistics) to help us improve performance, usability, and content. These may be provided by internal tools or third-party analytics services.
• Advertising and targeting cookies: Used, where you consent, to deliver more relevant advertising, to measure campaign effectiveness, and to limit how often you see a particular ad. These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners via our Site.

Similar Technologies

• We may use technologies functionally similar to cookies, such as:
  • Local storage and session storage in your browser;
  • Tracking pixels (web beacons) in emails or on pages to measure engagement;
  • Device identifiers used by mobile or desktop applications, if applicable.

Cookie Management

• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to:
  • View which cookies are stored on your device;
  • Delete cookies individually or all at once;
  • Block cookies from specific websites or all websites;
  • Block third-party cookies.
  Please consult your browser's help or settings section for detailed instructions. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of luckyonesbet-ca.com.

• Advertising choices: Depending on your jurisdiction and device, you may have additional tools (such as device settings or industry opt-out pages) to control interest-based advertising.

Data Security

OBSERVE: Gaming platforms hold high-value financial and behavioural data. EXPAND: Address technical, organizational, and procedural safeguards. REFLECT: Emphasize continuous risk management rather than absolute guarantees.

Technical and Organizational Measures

• Encryption: We use TLS 1.2 or higher to encrypt data in transit between your browser and our servers. Sensitive data at rest (such as hashed passwords and certain financial data) is stored using industry-standard encryption and hashing algorithms.
• Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorized personnel with a legitimate "need to know" for their role. Access is managed via role-based permissions, strong authentication, and logging.
• Authentication and account security: We require strong, unique passwords and may offer or mandate multi-factor authentication (MFA) for certain administrative or high-risk access points. We encourage players to enable any additional security features available.
• Network and system security: Firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-malware tools, and other security technologies are used to protect our infrastructure. Regular backups and redundancy strategies help minimize data loss risks.

Governance, Training, and Audits

• Internal policies: We maintain internal information security and data protection policies defining how staff must handle personal data and respond to incidents.
• Staff training: Employees and contractors with access to personal data receive periodic training on security, confidentiality, and responsible gambling-related privacy considerations.
• Vendor oversight: Third-party service providers processing personal data on our behalf are selected based on their security posture and are bound by contractual data protection obligations.
• Audits and reviews: We regularly review and update our technical and organizational measures, and we seek to align them, where feasible, with recognized international security practices (such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2-inspired controls), while not asserting formal certification unless explicitly stated on our Site.

Incident Response

• We maintain procedures to detect, respond to, and remediate personal data breaches or other security incidents, including:
  • Investigation and containment of the incident;
  • Assessment of potential risks to affected individuals;
  • Implementation of corrective and preventive actions;
  • Notification to relevant authorities and, where required by law, to affected individuals, in a timely manner.
• While we take robust measures to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed as completely secure. You also play an important role by keeping your login credentials secret, using strong passwords, and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized account activity.

Complaints & Contacts

OBSERVE: Users need clear routes to raise concerns. EXPAND: Provide internal escalation steps and external oversight options. REFLECT: Encourage resolution with the operator while recognizing the user's right to escalate.

Contacting Us

• Website: https://luckyonesbet-ca.com

Please include sufficient information to identify your account (if you have one) and clearly describe your concern or request.

3. Investigation: Your complaint will be reviewed by the appropriate internal team, which may request additional information or clarification.

5. Escalation within the company: If you are not satisfied with the initial response, you may request that your complaint be escalated to a senior manager or designated data protection contact.

External Recourse and Supervisory Authorities

• Depending on your province in Canada, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local privacy or information commissioner or equivalent authority. Contact details differ by province; please consult your provincial government resources.
• As our primary gaming regulation and dispute jurisdiction is Curaçao, you may also contact:
  • Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) - for issues related to gaming regulation and licensing.
• For gambling-related disputes that include privacy elements, you may also raise a complaint through recognized third-party platforms such as:
  • https://casino.guru
  • https://askgamblers.com
  These platforms are not regulators but may help mediate or facilitate resolution of player complaints.
