Information you shared with us voluntarily or else, made public, like social media profiles.

We recognise the trust and confidence our customers place in us as a service provider. In return, Unibet is open about why we collect your data. First and foremost, collecting your information is essential for providing you the services and products you want. In addition, your data is used to personalise and improve your experience using our services, and to contact you from time to time with important information. In some cases, we need to collect and use your information to comply with the law. Under data protection laws, we also need to identify a specified lawful basis upon which we are processing your personal information. We rely on different bases for different processing activities.

A) Under the contract – when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. Our T&C, which you have accepted at registration, set out the terms of the contract and the services we will provide:

To make our services available to you as part of our contract

• to provide gaming and betting services, activities or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
• for 'service administration purposes', such as password reminders, service messages, such as site maintenance, updates to our Privacy and Cookies Policy or Terms of Use, to let you know if your account has become dormant and to ask if you would like to use it again before we close it;
• to assess betting risk - when you make a bet, an automated system may be used to assess the risk connected to your bet, in accordance with our Betting Rules (see Section 15 of our Terms and Conditions). It is a system widely used by the betting operators to help make fair and informed decisions on betting. Betting scoring takes account of information you provide (both, at registration and through your use of our services). If your bet has been rejected or limited, you have the right to ask for a manual assessment by our traders.
• to process your transactions;

B) Under legitimate interests - It is necessary to process your data for the purposes set out below, except where our interests are overridden by the interests, rights or freedoms of affected individuals (such as you). To determine if we can process your data on this basis, we shall consider a number of factors, such as what you were told at the time you provided your data, what your expectations are about the processing of the data, the nature of the data, and the impact of the processing on you.

When you register with us we will ask if you would like to receive marketing communications, and you can change your marketing choices online, over the phone or in writing at any time. 

We may use information which we hold about you to show you relevant advertising on third party sites (e.g. Facebook, Google, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter). If you don’t want to be shown targeted advertising messages from us, some third party sites allow you to request not to see messages from specific advertisers on that site in future. If you want to stop all personalised services from us, including targeted advertising messages and social media matching on third party sites you can contact  to disable personalisation. We also like to hear your views to help us to improve our services, so we may contact you for market research purposes. You always have the choice about whether to take part in our market research.

We will only process such data if:

• you have given us your explicit consent;
• it relates to personal data which you have made public;

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored in third countries or with international organisations . It may also be processed by companies operating in third countries who work for us or for one of our service providers. For instance, the computer servers used to host a website could be located in a third country – this is not unusual given that the internet is a global environment. Your personal information could be held at a destination which offers a different level of data protection than  the Gibraltar law, including Australia, Serbia, India, US. To ensure your personal information remains safe when transferred like this, we will take all reasonable steps to maintain a suitable level of protection in line with this Policy.

Any transfer of your personal information to a third country or to an international organisation will be based on:

• the contractual  Standard Data Protection Clauses; or
• an adequacy decision confirming that the third country provides adequate protection for your personal information; or
• Your consent, or another legal basis on which we are entitled to make the transfer.

We appreciate that by law and subject to certain conditions, you have a number of rights concerning the personal information we hold about you. If you wish to exercise these rights, you should contact our Data Protection Officer using the details set out above in Section 3. These rights include the right to access, amend and erase the personal information we hold about you, the right to object to the processing of your data, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to data portability. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority if you are concerned with how we process your information. In addition, you have certain rights relating to automated decision-making and ‘profiling’. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from your country’s data protection regulator, the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (“GRA”).

The personal information we ask for on registration is compulsory (unless indicated in the forms as optional) and we need it to be able to process your registration, contact you and comply with gambling and financial laws to which you are subject. Unfortunately, therefore, if you do not want to provide such personal information, you will not be able to use our services.

Right to access and rectify the information we hold about you

You have a right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, known as a data subject access request. You also have the right to request that information we hold about you which may be incorrect, or which has been changed since you first told us, is updated or removed. These requests are free of charge and can be sent by email to our Data Protection Officer or by contacting Customer Services (see Section 3).

Right to delete your data

In some circumstances, you can ask us to erase personal information we hold about you (‘the right to be forgotten’). This includes when:

• the information is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected (as explained in our privacy notice);
• if you previously gave consent to the use of your information, but decide to withdraw it and we cannot justify another legal ground for using it under data protection law;
• we process your information based on our legitimate interests and we cannot demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds to continue processing the information;
• we don’t have a lawful ground under data protection law to process your information;
• the data has to be erased to comply with a legal requirement;

This right is subject to mandatory retention periods under the Gibraltar laws.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to ask us to restrict (‘block’ or ‘suppress’) the processing of your personal information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but will not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in the future. This right is available to you when:

• you dispute the accuracy of the personal information (while we verify matters);
• the processing is unlawful, and you object to the erasure of the information and request that we restrict processing instead;
• we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; and
• we process your information for our legitimate business interests but you object and while we verify the grounds for continued processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal information you provide to us, in a ‘commonly used machine-readable format’. This allows you to obtain and reuse your information for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a different provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability. This is not a general right however, and only arises when the processing of your information is:

• based on your consent or where it is necessary for the performance of a contract, and
• when the information is processed by solely by automated means

Right to object

Based on your particular situation, you can object to the processing of your personal information, that is:

• based on our legitimate business interests (including profiling); or
• done for research and statistical purposes

You also have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (including profiling), such as when you receive emails from us notifying you about other Kindred Group services which we think will be of interest to you.

Right to withdraw consent

When we rely on your consent as the basis to process your personal information – such as for sales and marketing communications (see section 5D) – you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. We’ll always strive to make it easy for you to withdraw consent by choosing an “unsubscribe” option in every communication you receive from us. If you find this isn’t the case, then just get in touch with our Data Protection Officer in the ways outlined above in Section 3, and we’ll try to fix things ASAP.

Rights related to automated decision making, including profiling

We sometimes use systems to make automated decisions based on your personal information. This helps us to make sure our decisions are quick, fair, efficient and correct, based on what we know. These automated decisions can affect the products, services or features we may offer you now or in the future, or the ability to use our services.

We may use automate decisions making in the following situations:

• tailoring products and services – we may pace you in groups with similar customers (segments) to study and learn about preferences and your needs, and offer more tailored experience for you;
• detecting fraud - we use your personal information to help decide and detect if your account may be being used for fraud or money-laundering. If we think there is a risk of fraud, we may block or suspend the account;
• opening account - when you open an account with us, we check that the product or service is relevant for you, based on what we know. We also check that you meet the conditions needed to open the account. This may include checking age, residency, nationality or financial position;
• risk assessment connected to your bet, as more particularly explained in section 5A;
• preventing problem gambling – we may apply account restrictions if we think there is a  risk of problem gambling, For example, we may apply bonus blocks based on your interaction with our products. We may also apply loss or deposit limit caps based on your age, if we deem your age group more susceptible to problem gambling.

Data protection law seeks to safeguard individuals against harm that may arise from decision-making - including profiling - that takes place without human intervention. You have the right not to be subject to a decision - including profiling - when it is based on the automated processing of your personal information and it has a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on you.

Please note that the right does not apply when the processing is:

• necessary for entering into or for the performance of a contract with you; or
• when it is authorised by law; or
• when it is based on your explicit consent.

Any requests relevant to this Section must be addressed in writing to our Data Protection Officer.

We will respond to any of your requests relevant to this Section within one (1) month from their receipt. Upon prior notice, this period may be extended by a further two (2) months if necessary, taking into account the complexity of the request and the number of any other pending requests. In case of rejection of your request, we will provide relevant justification.

If your request does not meet the requirements of the data protection law, we reserve the right either to: (a) impose a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communicating or executing the requested action; or (b) reject your request.

We are committed to protecting the personal information you entrust to us.
