Privacy Policy
This privacy policy outlines how AquaWin collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you access and use our online slot gaming platform. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws in United Kingdom, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using AquaWin, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this privacy policy.
Information We Collect
When you register and play at AquaWin, we collect various types of personal information necessary to provide our gaming services and ensure safe gaming practices. We collect information you provide directly during account registration, including your full name, date of birth, postal address, email address, and telephone number. To verify your identity and comply with legal obligations, we may request copies of identification documents such as passports, driving licences, or utility bills. Financial information is collected when you make deposits or withdrawals, including payment card details, bank account information, and transaction history. We also automatically collect technical data when you use our platform, including IP addresses, browser type and version, device information, operating system, and gameplay data such as games played, stakes placed, and session duration. Cookie data and similar tracking technologies help us understand how you interact with our platform and enhance your gaming experience.
How We Use Your Information
AquaWin uses your personal information for several specific purposes related to our gaming services and legal compliance. We process your data to create and manage your gaming account, verify your identity and age to prevent underage gambling, and process your deposits, withdrawals, and gaming transactions. Your information enables us to provide customer support services, respond to your enquiries, and resolve any technical issues you may encounter. We use your data to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements, responsible gambling measures, and reporting to the UK Gambling Commission. Your gameplay data helps us detect and prevent fraud, maintain the integrity of our games, and ensure safe gaming practices. We may use your contact information to send you important service updates, account notifications, and information about changes to our terms or privacy policy. With your consent, we may send you promotional communications about new games, special offers, and bonuses, though you can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
AquaWin may share your personal information with carefully selected third parties to operate our gaming platform and fulfil our legal obligations. We share data with payment processors and financial institutions to handle your deposits and withdrawals securely. Identity verification services receive necessary information to confirm your age and identity as required by UK gambling regulations. Our technology service providers, including hosting companies, software developers, and IT support services, may access your data to maintain and improve our platform. We disclose information to regulatory bodies, including the UK Gambling Commission, when required by law or to comply with licensing conditions. Law enforcement agencies may receive your data when legally obligated or to prevent fraud and criminal activity. In the event of a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new owner, and we will notify you of any such change. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and treat it in accordance with the law. These third parties are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes and may only process it for specified purposes and according to our instructions.
Data Retention and Security
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. The following table outlines our standard data retention periods:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | 7 years after account closure | Regulatory compliance |
| Transaction Records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial regulations and tax requirements |
| Identity Verification Documents | 7 years after account closure | Anti-money laundering obligations |

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of sensitive data during transmission and storage, secure socket layer (SSL) technology for all transactions, regular security assessments and penetration testing, restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and staff training on data protection and privacy practices. Despite our security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

Under UK data protection law, you have several rights regarding your personal information held by AquaWin. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of this information. You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data, though this may not be possible if we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory reasons.

Where we process your data based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You also have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.
