What Personal Data We Collect

We collect specific categories of data necessary to provide a secure and regulated gaming environment. This collection is minimized to what is strictly required for operational, legal, and functional purposes.

Categories of Data

  • Identity Data: Information required to verify your identity as per Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, including your first name, last name, date of birth, and gender. Copies of identification documents (passport, driver's license) are stored securely.
  • Contact Data: Your billing address, email address, and telephone numbers used for account management and communication.
  • Financial Data: Payment card details (processed securely via PCI-DSS compliant gateways), bank account information for withdrawals, and transaction history relating to deposits and wagers on sportium-bet-ca.com.
  • Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, and platform.
  • Usage & Behavioral Data: Information about how you use our website, including betting history, game preferences, login times, and interaction with promotional features.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of your personal data is grounded in lawful bases established under Canadian privacy law and international best practices. We do not process data without a valid legal justification.

  • Contractual Performance: Processing is necessary to fulfill the user agreement, such as processing your bets, managing your account balance, and facilitating withdrawals. Without this data, we cannot provide our core services.
  • Legal Obligation: We are required by law to process data for anti-money laundering (AML) purposes, responsible gambling monitoring, and fraud prevention. This includes reporting to relevant regulatory bodies where mandated.
  • Legitimate Interests: We process data to improve our services, detect security threats, and analyze customer trends to enhance the sportium-bet experience, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
  • Consent: For specific marketing activities and the use of non-essential tracking technologies, we rely on your explicit, opt-in consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.

Purpose of Processing

We utilize the collected data for distinct, specified purposes related to the operation of sportium-bet-ca.com.

  • Service Provision: To register your account, verify your age and identity, process payments, and execute gaming transactions.
  • Customer Support: To resolve technical issues, answer queries, and manage disputes.
  • Compliance & Security: To prevent fraud, money laundering, and collusion; to ensure the integrity of our games; and to promote responsible gambling.
  • Marketing & Personalization: To send promotional offers (where consented) and deliver content relevant to your gaming preferences.
  • Business Analytics: To understand user behavior and improve website functionality and user experience.

Disclosure & Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share data with trusted third parties to facilitate our services or comply with legal requirements.

Recipients of Personal Data

  • Service Providers: Third-party companies that provide infrastructure, IT services, payment processing, and customer support tools. All providers are bound by data processing agreements ensuring confidentiality.
  • Corporate Group: Information may be shared within the CIRSA Group and with subsidiaries (e.g., entities in Mexico or Colombia) for administrative purposes and centralized security monitoring.
  • Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose data to law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, or gambling regulators (such as the DGOJ in Spain or relevant Canadian authorities) if required by law or to report criminal activity.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, customer data may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to confidentiality protections.

International Transfers

As sportium-bet is part of an international group with headquarters in Spain, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Canada, specifically within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Latin America.

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards:

  • Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to the EEA are generally secure as the European Commission recognizes Canada's privacy laws as adequate, and conversely, Canada recognizes the high standards of GDPR.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses: For transfers to countries without an adequacy decision, we utilize standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities to ensure your data receives a comparable level of protection to that provided under Canadian law.

Data Retention

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

  • Account Data: Retained for the duration of your relationship with us. Upon account closure, data is retained for a minimum period (typically 5 years) to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws and statutes of limitation for legal claims.
  • Marketing Data: Retained until you withdraw consent or become inactive for a defined period, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.
  • Deletion Criteria: Once the retention period expires, personal data is irreversibly deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you.

Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable data protection regulations, you possess specific rights regarding the control of your personal information. We are committed to facilitating these rights efficiently.

  • Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you to verify its accuracy and the lawfulness of its processing.
  • Right to Rectification: You have the right to request the correction of incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you.
  • Right to Erasure ('Right to be Forgotten'): You may ask us to delete your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it, subject to our legal retention obligations (e.g., AML laws).
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on consent to process your data (e.g., marketing), you may withdraw this consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.
  • Right to File a Complaint: If you believe your data rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant local authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer. We respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.
