Scope of this Privacy Policy

This document sets out how Poko Bet collects, processes and protects your personal data when you use our website or mobile application. We act as the controller of the personal data described herein and are responsible for its lawful handling. This policy covers all services we offer to you, including account registration, deposit and withdrawal transactions and the playing of games. It applies regardless of the device or browser you use to access our services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operations or the law. When we make a material change, we will notify you via the contact details you provided to us. The version of the policy that is live on our website at the time of your use is the one that governs your relationship with us. You are responsible for reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed of any changes.

This Privacy Policy forms part of the legal relationship between you and Poko Bet. It works alongside our Terms and Conditions and the Cookies Policy to set out the full framework for how we handle your information. By using our services, you confirm that you have read and understood the contents of this document. We expect you to treat this policy as a binding reference point for our data practices.

We distinguish between personal data and anonymous data in our operations. This policy applies only to information that identifies you or can be linked to you. Anonymous data that cannot be traced back to you falls outside the scope of this document. We process anonymous data for internal analytics and business improvement without restriction under this policy.

Categories of Personal Data Collected

We collect several categories of personal data to operate our services effectively and comply with legal obligations. This includes identity and contact details that you provide during registration, as well as financial data required for processing payments. We also collect gameplay records and technical information generated by your use of the service.

Data Provided by You

  • ✓Identity and contact details (name, address, date of birth, email)
  • ✓Verification documents (passports, driving licences, utility bills)
  • ✓Financial and transaction data (payment method details, transaction history)
  • ✓Communications with support (live chat logs, email correspondence)

Data Generated by Use

  • ✓Device and connection data (IP address, browser type, operating system)
  • ✓Gameplay records (game selection, time spent, bet amounts, win/loss)
  • ✓Session data (login times, session duration, navigation patterns)

The table below outlines each category of data we collect, the reason for its retention and the typical period of storage. This information is provided to give you clarity on what we hold and why. We do not collect data for purposes unrelated to our service provision or legal compliance. Each data point is necessary for a specific function within our operations.

Data CategoryWhy it is heldKept for
Identity and contact detailsAccount verification and communication10 years after account closure
Financial and transaction dataPayment processing and anti-money laundering7 years after last transaction
Device and connection dataSecurity, fraud prevention and service improvement2 years from collection
Marketing consent dataLegal compliance for promotional communicationsUntil consent is withdrawn

We distinguish between data that you actively provide to us and data that is generated automatically during your use of the service. Data provided by you includes information you submit during registration or when contacting support. Data generated by use includes information collected about your browsing habits and gameplay patterns. Both types of data are subject to the protections described in this policy.

Verification documents are treated with particular care as they contain sensitive identity information. We store these documents securely and limit access to authorised personnel only. These documents are used to verify your identity in line with our regulatory requirements. Once verification is complete, the documents are retained for the period specified in our retention schedule.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process your personal data based on specific lawful grounds defined under data protection regulations. These grounds vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing. We do not rely on a single basis for all processing activities. Instead, we match each activity to the most appropriate legal justification.

Processing Purposes and Bases

PurposeLawful Basis
Contract performanceTo perform our contract with you
Legal complianceCompliance with regulatory obligations
Fraud preventionLegitimate interests
Marketing communicationsYour consent

Performance of the contract forms the basis for processing data needed to provide our services. This includes data required to register your account and process your transactions. Without this processing, we cannot provide the core services you have requested from us. We are contractually bound to process this data to fulfil our obligations.

We process data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering rules. This includes reporting requirements and identity verification procedures mandated by the regulator. We must retain certain records for specified periods to meet these obligations. This processing occurs regardless of your consent or contractual relationship with us.

Legitimate interests support our fraud prevention and security measures. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our business and users from fraudulent activity. This basis allows us to monitor transactions and detect unusual patterns. We balance this interest against your privacy rights through our impact assessments.

We rely on your consent for sending promotional communications. You may withdraw this consent at any time through your account settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before your decision. Other processing activities continue based on their respective lawful bases.

Data Sharing and International Transfers

We share your personal data only with organisations that require access to perform specific functions for us. These include payment providers, identity verification services, fraud prevention agencies and game suppliers. We also share information with regulators and law enforcement authorities when required by law. We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their own commercial use.

Payment providers receive financial data necessary to process your deposits and withdrawals. Identity verification services receive your identification documents to confirm your identity. Fraud prevention agencies receive transaction data to detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Game suppliers receive gameplay records to deliver the services you have requested. Each recipient has strict contractual obligations to protect your data.

Some of our data processors are located outside the European Economic Area. We ensure that international transfers comply with applicable data protection laws. We use standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards for these transfers. These measures provide adequate protection for your personal data when it moves across borders. We review these arrangements periodically to ensure ongoing compliance.

We require all recipients to maintain confidentiality and implement appropriate security measures. Processing agreements define the scope, purpose and duration of data handling. We audit these arrangements to ensure continued compliance with our obligations. Any breach of these obligations by a recipient is treated as a serious matter. We hold recipients accountable for their handling of your information.

Data Retention Periods

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it. This period is determined by legal obligations, regulatory requirements and our operational needs. We do not retain data longer than needed for these specified purposes. Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise the data.

Account data is retained for ten years after you close your account. This period satisfies our regulatory obligations to maintain records of customer interactions. Transaction records are kept for seven years following the last transaction. This duration aligns with financial services regulations and tax requirements. Verification documents follow the same retention schedule as account data.

Marketing consent data is retained until you withdraw your permission. Once consent is withdrawn, we cease processing data for marketing purposes. We may retain limited information to record your preference not to receive communications. This ensures we do not inadvertently contact you after your withdrawal request.

We review retention schedules annually to ensure they remain current with legal requirements. Changes to legislation may affect our retention periods for certain data categories. We update our records accordingly to maintain compliance with applicable laws. This ongoing review process helps us avoid unnecessary retention of your information.

Your Data Protection Rights

You have specific rights regarding your personal data under data protection laws. These rights allow you to control how we use your information and ensure we maintain accurate records. We process requests from you within the timeframe specified by law. Some rights may be limited where we must retain data for legal reasons.

To exercise any of these rights, you must submit a request through our contacts page. We require proof of identity to verify that you are the data subject making the request. This prevents unauthorised access to your personal information. We may request additional information if needed to locate your records.

We respond to all valid requests within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by two months for complex requests. We will inform you of any extension and provide reasons for the delay. Your request is processed in priority to ensure timely compliance.

Some rights may be limited where we must retain data for legal compliance. For example, we cannot erase transaction records required for regulatory purposes. These limitations are clearly explained when we respond to your request. We provide specific reasons where we cannot comply with your request in full.

We do not charge for exercising your rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive. We assess each request on its merits to determine whether fees apply. Excessive requests may incur reasonable administrative costs. We communicate any applicable charges before proceeding with your request.

Security Measures and Complaints

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. These include encryption, access controls and regular security assessments. We limit access to your data to authorised personnel only. All staff receive training on data protection and security best practices.

We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of our systems. Our security infrastructure is reviewed and updated to address emerging threats. We maintain incident response procedures to handle any security breaches promptly. You are notified promptly in the event of a significant data breach.

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you may raise a complaint with us. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly. Our contacts page provides the information needed to reach our data protection team. We aim to resolve complaints at this stage wherever possible.

If we cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you have the right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office. You may also seek resolution through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms where available. We provide full cooperation with any regulatory investigation.
