Processing is based on lawful grounds such as consent, contract, legal obligation, and legitimate interests. We process information fairly, transparently, and for specified purposes only.
Access to Information
Users can access and update account information in account settings or by contacting our support or Data Protection Officer. To submit a privacy request (access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection):
- Send a message through account settings or email [email protected].
- We may request proof of identity to protect user information.
- We aim to respond within one month. Complex requests may take up to two additional months.
Correction and deletion
- Users may request correction of inaccurate data or deletion where it is no longer needed.
- We may retain certain records where required by law (for example, anti-money laundering records for 5 years and financial records for up to 6 years).
- When an account is closed, we retain only the information necessary to meet legal, regulatory, and fraud prevention requirements.
By using Maximum Casino, users consent to security checks and to payment information being processed by approved payment providers for transactions and fraud prevention.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We cannot verify age without documents and identity checks. If we learn that a user is a minor, we will close the account and delete personal data that we are not legally required to retain.
A parent or legal guardian can contact us to request deletion of a minor’s information. We may keep minimal records to meet legal obligations and to prevent re-registration by the minor.
International Data Transfers
Personal data may be processed outside the UK where our partners, payment processors, game studios, customer support, or cloud providers operate. By using the site, users acknowledge and consent to such transfers, where consent is required.
Safeguards
- Adequacy regulations recognised by the UK.
- UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Contractual confidentiality, security commitments, and audit rights.
We require all partners to protect confidentiality and use information only for the documented purposes. Copies of relevant transfer safeguards can be requested where disclosure is permitted by law.
