How We Use Your Information
The information collected by Hyper Casino is used for multiple legitimate purposes that enable us to operate our gaming platform legally and efficiently. Your personal data allows us to create and manage your gaming account, process financial transactions, and verify your identity as required by UK Gambling Commission regulations.
We use your information to comply with legal obligations, including age verification to ensure all players are 18 years or older, prevention of fraud and money laundering, and fulfilment of regulatory reporting requirements. Your data helps us provide customer support services, resolve disputes, and respond to your enquiries effectively. Marketing communications, where you have provided consent, are tailored based on your preferences and gaming activity. We analyse gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling and implement appropriate safeguarding measures as part of our commitment to player protection.
Technical information is used to maintain platform security, prevent unauthorised access, detect suspicious activity, and improve website functionality. We may use aggregated and anonymised data for statistical analysis, market research, and business development purposes without identifying individual users.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
Hyper Casino maintains strict controls over who has access to your personal information. We do not sell your data to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, certain circumstances require us to share your information with specific entities to operate our services legally and effectively.
We share data with payment service providers and financial institutions to process deposits, withdrawals, and verify payment methods. Game developers and software providers receive limited technical data necessary to deliver gaming content on our platform. Identity verification services and fraud prevention agencies access your information to confirm your identity and protect against fraudulent activity. Our customer support systems, which may be operated by third-party service providers, require access to your account information to assist you effectively.
Regulatory bodies, including the UK Gambling Commission, may request access to player data during audits or investigations. Law enforcement agencies receive information when legally required through court orders or statutory obligations. Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors may access data under confidentiality obligations when providing services to Hyper Casino. In the event of a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, your data may be shared with prospective buyers or new owners, subject to continued privacy protection.

Data Security and Retention
Protecting your personal information is a fundamental priority at Hyper Casino. We implement comprehensive technical and organisational security measures to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your data.
Our security infrastructure includes industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your device and our servers. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it for legitimate business purposes, and all staff undergo regular data protection training. We maintain secure servers protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits. Payment information is processed through PCI DSS compliant systems that meet stringent financial data security standards. Regular backups ensure data integrity whilst maintaining appropriate security controls on backup storage.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and meet our legal obligations. Account information is maintained whilst your account remains active and for a period of seven years following account closure to comply with financial and regulatory record-keeping requirements. Transaction records are retained for seven years in accordance with UK tax and anti-money laundering legislation. Identification documents are kept for the duration of the business relationship and the required retention period thereafter. Marketing data is retained until you withdraw consent or the information becomes outdated. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data retention schedule.

Your Rights and Choices
Under UK data protection law, you possess several rights regarding your personal information held by Hyper Casino. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you by submitting a subject access request. We will provide a copy of your information within one month of receiving a valid request, free of charge for the first request.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data, and we will update our records promptly upon verification. The right to erasure allows you to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, though this may be limited by our legal obligations to retain information for regulatory purposes. You can object to processing of your data for marketing purposes at any time, and we will cease such processing upon receipt of your objection. The right to restrict processing enables you to limit how we use your data in specific situations, such as whilst accuracy is being verified.
Data portability rights allow you to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another service provider where technically feasible. You have the right to withdraw consent for processing activities that rely on your permission, though this does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before withdrawal. If you believe we have processed your data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection.
To exercise any of these rights, you may contact our data protection team through the contact methods provided on the Hyper Casino website. We will respond to all legitimate requests within the timeframes required by law.
