Privacy Policy

Glorion Casino is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. We process information in full compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Data Controller

Glorion Casino, operating at glorioncasino.co, acts as the data controller for personal data collected through our online gaming platform. We are a licensed operator under UK Gambling Commission regulations, dedicated to transparent data practices. For privacy matters, contact our support team at [email protected]. Our Data Protection Officer oversees compliance and can be reached via the same email for formal inquiries.

We collect and process data responsibly, limiting it to what is necessary for providing secure gaming services, meeting legal obligations, and enhancing user experience. This policy details our practices, your rights, and how we safeguard your information under UK law.

Types of Information

We gather various categories of personal data to deliver our services effectively while adhering to strict data minimisation principles under UK GDPR Article 5.

Personal identification data includes your full name, date of birth, residential address, telephone number, and email address. This information is essential for account registration, age verification (confirming users are 18+ as required by UK gambling laws), and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. Government-issued documents like passports, driving licences, or utility bills may also be required for identity proofing to prevent fraud and underage gambling.askthelandlord.

Account-related data encompasses usernames, passwords (hashed for security), security questions, and login history. Financial details cover payment methods (e.g, card numbers, bank details via tokenisation), transaction records including deposits, withdrawals, and betting history. These enable seamless payments and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) rules under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

Technical data includes IP addresses, device types, browser information, operating system, and session durations. Gaming behaviour covers game preferences, bet sizes, session lengths, and win/loss patterns, used for responsible gambling monitoring. Location data verifies UK access eligibility and geo-restrictions. Communication logs from support interactions, newsletters, and marketing opt-ins are also retained.

Special category data, such as health information related to gambling vulnerability or ethnicity from ID documents, is processed only when strictly necessary, typically under legal obligations or explicit consent per UK GDPR Article 9.

Legal Bases for Processing occurs only under lawful bases outlined in UK GDPR Article 6, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Contractual necessity (Article 6(1)(b)) applies to account creation, game play, payment processing, and service delivery. Without this data, we cannot fulfil our obligations under your user agreement. Legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)) drive KYC, AML checks, and reporting to the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), including five-year retention of transaction records.

Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) support fraud prevention, security monitoring, platform analytics, and responsible gambling interventions. We conduct Legitimate Interests Assessments (LIAs) balancing our needs against your rights, such as profiling betting patterns to detect problem gambling without overriding privacy. Explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a)) is sought for marketing emails or non-essential cookies, easily withdrawable anytime.askthelandlord.

For special category data, we rely on legal obligations (e.g, vulnerability assessments per UKGC Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice - LCCP) or substantial public interest in safer gambling. Vital interests may apply in rare welfare cases. No automated decisions produce legal effects without human oversight, per Article 22.

Purposes of Data Use

Your data supports core operations, regulatory compliance, and service improvements, always aligned with stated purposes.

Account management involves verifying identity, authenticating logins, and handling deposits/withdrawals securely. Security measures use technical data for anomaly detection, DDoS protection, and fraud scoring via AI-monitored patterns. Responsible gambling tools analyse play data to flag risks, trigger self-exclusion options (e.g, GAMSTOP integration), and enforce deposit limits.

Customer support utilises communication logs to resolve queries efficiently. Marketing sends personalised offers only with consent, via email or in-app notifications, respecting opt-outs. Analytics aggregate anonymised data for game optimisation and UKGC-required harm prevention reporting. Compliance includes affordability checks using open banking data and sharing with credit agencies like Experian for financial vulnerability assessments.

Research partners receive pseudonymised datasets to advance industry safeguards, with strict agreements. All uses adhere to purpose limitation (Article 5(1)(b)), preventing repurposing without fresh legal basis.

Data Sharing and

We share data selectively with trusted parties under data processing agreements (DPAs) mandating UK GDPR-equivalent safeguards.

Payment providers (e.g, Visa, Mastercard gateways) handle transactions transiently, never storing full card details. Verification services like Onfido or Jumio process KYC documents, deleting them post-validation. Gaming suppliers receive minimal session data for fair play integrity. UKGC and law enforcement receive reports for AML/suspicious activity as legally required.

Affiliate networks and marketing platforms (with consent) enable promotions. Cloud hosts (e.g, AWS EU regions) store encrypted backups. No sales to third parties occur; disclosures to auditors or insurers are minimal and contract-bound.

Intra-group sharing is limited; as a standalone operator, we avoid unnecessary transfers.

International Data primarily stays in the UK/EEA, hosted on secure UK-based servers compliant with ICO standards.

Rare transfers to adequacy-approved countries (e.g, EU via adequacy decision) or processors use UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) plus Transfer Risk Assessments (TRAs). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) supplement for non-adequate destinations, with encryption and audit rights. No transfers to high-risk jurisdictions without safeguards.

Cookies and Tracking

Our site uses cookies for functionality, analytics, and marketing, detailed in our Cookie Policy (accessible via footer).

Essential cookies enable logins/sessions. Analytics (Google Analytics, anonymised) track performance. Marketing cookies personalise ads, requiring consent via banner. Browser settings or tools like Cookiebot manage preferences. We honour Do Not Track signals and clear data on.

Data Security

Robust security protects against breaches, per UK GDPR Article 32.

Encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit) safeguards sensitive data. Multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access, and zero-trust architecture limit exposure. Regular penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and ISO 27001-aligned audits occur quarterly. Incident response plans notify ICO/users within 72 hours if high-risk breaches arise. Employee training and background checks minimise insider threats. Backups are immutable and geo-redundant.

Data Retention follows storage limitation (Article 5(1)(e)), balancing purpose and legal needs.

Active accounts: Indefinite while in use. Post-closure: 5 years for UKGC/AML (transactions, KYC); 7 years for financial audits (Money Laundering Regulations). Marketing data: Until consent revoked. Logs: 6-12 months for security. Anonymised analytics: Indefinite. Secure deletion (e.g, NIST-compliant overwriting) applies post-retention.
