Welcome to Arctic, a destination for online casino entertainment. We protect your privacy and the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how Arctic collects, uses, discloses, and protects your data when you visit and use our website and services. By accessing or using Arctic, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information.

Arctic operates under strict regulatory guidelines to provide a safe and fair gaming environment. Our commitment to your privacy reflects our dedication to responsible gaming and data protection principles. This policy is transparent and easy to understand, informing you about how your personal data is handled.

Arctic collects various types of information to provide and improve our services, manage your account, and comply with legal obligations. This information includes:

• Personal Identifiable Information (PII): This includes data that can directly identify you, such as your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, telephone number, and national identification details (e.g., passport or driver's license numbers) provided during registration and verification processes.
• Financial Information: Details related to your payment methods, including credit/debit card numbers, bank account details, and transaction history, are collected to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. Arctic does not store full payment card details on its servers.

Arctic processes your personal data based on several legal grounds, in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, specifically to provide you with our gaming services and manage your account.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Arctic is subject, such as anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, responsible gaming requirements, and reporting to regulatory bodies.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Arctic or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. These legitimate interests include fraud prevention, network and information security, direct marketing (where permitted), and improving our services.
• Consent: In certain situations, we may rely on your explicit consent to process your personal data, particularly for sending marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Arctic may share your personal information with third parties under specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards:

• Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, identity verification, data analysis, IT services, and customer support. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose your information to government bodies, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement agencies when required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
• Fraud Prevention Agencies: To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share your data with specialised agencies.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of Arctic's assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
• Affiliates: We may share data within our corporate group for operational purposes, provided they adhere to the same data protection standards.

Arctic will never sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Arctic takes the security of your personal information seriously. We implement robust technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and Arctic's servers is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their job functions.
• Firewalls: Our systems are protected by advanced firewall technologies to prevent unauthorised external access.
• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
• Employee Training: Our staff receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices.

While Arctic protects 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 measures.

Arctic retains your personal information only 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 legal obligations we face.

For example, we typically retain account information for a period required by our licensing authority after your account has been closed, to comply with anti-money laundering and responsible gaming regulations. Transactional data is also subject to specific retention periods dictated by financial regulations.

Once your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

Arctic may transfer your personal data to countries outside of your jurisdiction, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), where data protection laws may differ. When such transfers occur, Arctic ensures that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

These safeguards may include relying on adequacy decisions by the European Commission, implementing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or ensuring that the recipient is certified under an approved framework that provides an adequate level of data protection.

Arctic is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.

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