Privacy Policy

Overview

Below you will find our Privacy Policy which tells you about how we will process your personal data and about rights that you have under data protection. We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with this Privacy Policy. However, we understand that people have busy lives and so want to provide you with a quick overview of how we will use your personal data – please remember though that this first section is an overview only and should not be read instead of reading the full Privacy Policy below.

This website and the services operate under and pursuant to the Operating Agreement and are being offered by Flutter as part of the open and regulated iGaming market conducted and managed by iGaming Ontario. In the course of providing the services (i) Flutter collects, uses and discloses personal data on behalf of and as agent to iGaming Ontario; (ii) Flutter collects personal data in accordance with Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act ("FIPPA") and other applicable privacy laws, and under the authority of Ontario Regulation 722/21 made under the Alcohol and Gaming Commission, and the operating agreement entered into between Flutter and iGaming Ontario.

Under this Privacy Policy, "personal data" means as information about an identifiable individual and includes any information that constitutes personal information within the meaning of the FIPPA and other applicable privacy law.

We will never intentionally collect information from individuals under the age of 19 for real money play. In the event that a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child under the age of 19 has provided us with personal data, the parent or guardian may contact us at the details set out below in the "Contact Us" section to have such personal data deleted.

We process your personal data for the purposes discussed in detail below, but the two main purposes are to enable us to provide you with services and to comply with our regulatory obligations, specifically:

  • On the first of these, in order for us to offer you with services we will need you to register a user account and provide bank details to deposit money.
  • On the regulatory aspect, we are required to monitor our customers and to keep records of transactions to ensure that we are offering a fair, responsible and safe service – and this includes verifying your age and monitoring our customers to ensure that they are gambling within their means.

Cookies

In this Privacy Policy, we use the expression 'cookie' to refer to cookies and similar technologies we use to store information (such as web beacons). A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile (or other) device by a website's server, and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information, such as a unique identifier and the website name and some digits and characters.

Almost all websites and applications you visit, including our websites, will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website and/or application to 'remember' you, either for the duration of your visit (using a 'session cookie') or for repeat visits (using a 'persistent cookie').

Cookies are used to improve your use of a website or application, for example through letting you navigate between pages efficiently and storing your preferences. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website or application doesn't use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the website. Cookies can also be used to enable targeted advertising and analyzing your browsing of a website.

You can learn more about cookies generally and how to disable them on your browser here.

You can learn more about what advertising cookies exist on your device and you can disable them directly by clicking here.

Retention of your personal data

We retain your personal data no longer than necessary for up to seven years. Seven years is calculated from the closure of your user account or where your user account has been dormant for this period. There are some exceptions to this retention period, namely:

  • If you self-exclude from any of our services, we will retain this information indefinitely.
  • If you are under investigation or we have identified possible fraud, money-laundering, criminal activity we may retain your personal data for longer.
  • If there is a legal dispute, we will retain your personal data for the duration of the dispute and for six years thereafter.

Personal data is removed from all physical and virtual storage devices before that equipment is decommissioned.

Updating your personal data

You can update some of your personal data at any time via your user account. We use reasonable efforts to ensure your personal data remains up to date and accurate, but we request that when your personal data changes you update your user account as soon as possible. If you are unable to change your information via your user account, please contact Support.

Your rights

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • a right to access your personal data. This includes receiving confirmation on whether your personal data is being processed, why it is being processed and the personal data being processed.
  • a right to rectification of inaccurate personal data or updating of incomplete personal data.
  • a right to erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten) of personal data under certain circumstances, including where you (i) object to Flutter's processing for its own legitimate interests or (ii) where Flutter's processing of the personal data is unlawful. In the case of unlawful processing, you may request that this processing is restricted rather than the personal data being erased.
  • a right to data portability i.e. to receive your personal data in a portable format or, subject to it being technically feasible, have us transfer your personal data directly to a third party. This right applies where processing is taking place based on consent or for the performance of a contract.
  • a right to object to the processing of personal data, where such processing is being conducted for the purpose of (a) direct marketing; (b) establishing, exercising or defending ourselves or others from legal claims; or (c) Flutter's legitimate interests where Flutter cannot demonstrate its interests override your interests and rights. Please note, restriction on processing may be requested while an investigation of legitimate interests takes place. You shall have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing in limited circumstances.
  • a right not to be subject to decisions taken solely on the basis of automated processing of personal data of an individual (i.e. no human involvement in the decision) which produce legal effects or have similarly significant effects unless permitted by law.

If you are unsure about your rights or are concerned about how your personal data may be processed, you should contact our Support or your national data protection supervisory authority.

If you would like to exercise any of your rights then you can do so by contacting Support. Please be aware that while we will try to accommodate any request you make in respect of your rights, they are not absolute rights. This means that we may have to refuse your request or may only be able to comply with it in part.

When you make a request in respect of your rights, we will require proof of identification. We may also ask that you clarify your request. We will aim to respond to any request within 30 days of verifying your identity, but it may take longer (we will notify you if this is the case). If we receive repeated requests, or have reason to believe requests are being made unreasonably, we reserve the right not to respond.

Supervisory authorities

If you have any complaints you have the right to contact your own national data protection supervisory authority. However we ask that you contact us in the first instance to allow us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Contact us

If you have any questions regarding our use of your personal data, wish the register a privacy related complaint or you would like to exercise any of your rights, please contact our Support in the first instance. You can also contact our Privacy Officer at dataprotection@flutterint.com.
