4.3. Data from Third Parties

We may receive limited information from third parties:

• Affiliate Partners: If you arrive at our Site via an affiliate link, we may receive information indicating which affiliate referred you. This data is typically anonymised or pseudonymised and used for commission tracking, not for identifying you personally.
• Publicly Available Sources: In some cases, we may use publicly available information to verify your identity or for fraud prevention, but this is rare for a game-specific site unless it's linked to an operator account.

5. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data (Purposes and Legal Bases)

We process your personal data for specific purposes, relying on various legal bases under the UK GDPR:

6. How We Share Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Game Providers: We share necessary gameplay data with Reel Kingdom, the developer of Big Bass Reel Repeat, to ensure the game functions correctly, for technical support, and to verify game integrity.
• Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our services (e.g., hosting providers, IT support, security services). These providers only process data on our behalf and are bound by strict contractual obligations to keep your data secure and confidential.
• Analytics Providers: As detailed in Section 7, we share data with Yandex.Metrica for web analytics.
• Regulators and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your data if legally required to do so by the UKGC, other regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies, or in response to a valid court order or subpoena.
• Fraud Prevention & Security: We may share data with third-party services dedicated to fraud prevention and cybersecurity to protect our Site and users.
• Affiliate Partners: We may share anonymised or pseudonymised data (e.g., conversion tracking IDs) with our affiliate partners to track referrals and manage commissions. This does not involve sharing your directly identifiable personal data.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

7. International Data Transfers (Including Yandex.Metrica)

Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). This section specifically addresses the use of Yandex.Metrica.

Yandex.Metrica

• Purpose: We use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC, to analyse user behaviour on our Site, understand traffic sources, and improve the overall user experience and performance of Big Bass Reel Repeat. This helps us make data-driven decisions to enhance the game and the Site.
• Data Transferred: Yandex.Metrica collects information such as your IP address (anonymised), device information, browser type, pages visited, and interactions with the Site.
• Transfer Destination: Yandex LLC is based in Russia.
• UK GDPR Implications: The UK (and EU) currently does not have an adequacy decision with Russia, meaning that Russia is not deemed to provide an equivalent level of data protection to the UK GDPR. This means that data transferred to Russia does not benefit from the same level of legal protection as it would within the UK/EEA.
• Our Safeguards:
  • Anonymisation: We configure Yandex.Metrica to anonymise your IP address as much as possible before it is processed.
  • Contractual Clauses: We strive to include robust data protection clauses in our agreements with Yandex to ensure they commit to protecting your data.
  • Transparency & Choice: We are transparent about this transfer in our Privacy Policy and provide mechanisms for you to manage your consent to analytics cookies (see Section 8).
• Your Awareness: By using our Site and accepting analytics cookies, you acknowledge and accept that your data may be transferred to Russia for web analytics purposes, despite the lack of an adequacy decision. We continuously monitor the legal landscape and available safeguards to ensure the best possible protection for your data.

For more information about Yandex.Metrica's privacy practices, please refer to Yandex's Privacy Policy.

8. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our Site. Cookies are small text files placed on your device.

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the operation of our Site and game (e.g., to remember your game session, ensure security). You cannot opt out of these.
• Analytics Cookies (Yandex.Metrica): These help us understand how you interact with our Site, measure performance, and identify areas for improvement. As explained in Section 7, this involves data transfer to Russia.
• Affiliate/Marketing Cookies: These cookies track if you arrived at our Site via an affiliate link, allowing us to attribute referrals and pay commissions. They do not track your personal activities beyond the referral.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: Using SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit.
• Access Controls: Restricting access to personal data to authorised personnel only, based on a need-to-know basis.
• Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: To protect our network infrastructure.
• Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing: To identify and address vulnerabilities.
• Staff Training: Ensuring our employees are trained on data protection best practices.
• Data Minimisation: Collecting only the data strictly necessary for our purposes.

10. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

• Legal & Regulatory Obligations: Data related to financial transactions, responsible gambling, and AML compliance may be retained for 5-7 years, or longer if required by specific regulations (e.g., UKGC).
• Website & Gameplay Analytics: Data collected via Yandex.Metrica is typically retained for a maximum of 5 years, often in an aggregated or anonymised form.
• Customer Inquiries: We retain correspondence for a reasonable period to manage ongoing support and improve our services.

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

• Right to Data Portability: To receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller.

12. Responsible Gambling and Your Privacy

• We may analyse gameplay data (e.g., bet patterns, session duration, frequency of play, changes in spending) to identify potential indicators of problem gambling.
• This analysis helps us fulfil our Legal Obligation under UKGC regulations to identify and interact with customers who may be at risk.
