How We Share Information

Due to the nature of our service, in order to process your data as explained in section 2 of this Privacy Policy, we may need to share your personal data with a number of trusted third parties.

These third parties include:

1. Game providers – sometimes our game providers would require access to select data attributes (such as username, IP address, for instance), in order to provide us with the games you play on our website; These include Lottomatrix
2. Payments providers – similarly, we may share some of your personal data with the payment providers you use to make and receive payments on our website;These include APCO service providers

We attempt to notify all our customers about legal demands for their personal data unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe that the requests are disproportionate, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

We always ensure that any third party having access to your personal data is bound to respect the security of your personal data, and to process it in a lawful manner at all times and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and strict codes of conduct.

The operator is not going to opt for an automated decision taking.

1. Transfers of Personal Data

Some of the service providers outlined in section 3 above may be based in countries which do not form part of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). This may mean that your data may be stored in a location outside of the EEA. Whenever any transfers of your personal data are made to Data Processors located outside of the EEA, we always ensure that your data is protected in the same way as it is in the EEA.

In order to ensure the protection of your data, we implement at least one of the following safeguards:

1. Adequacy decision – we ensure that we transfer your personal data to countries providing an adequate level of protection according to the European Commission;
2. US / Swiss Privacy Shield – where the Data Processors we use are based in the United States of America or Switzerland, we try to ensure that such Data Processors are approved under the Privacy Shield. This Privacy Shield ensures that the Data Processors provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EEA and the United States or Switzerland;
3. Standard clauses – where the Data Processor is not based in a country benefiting from an adequacy decision or is not part of the US/Swiss privacy shield, as explained in (i) and (ii) above, we may use specific contracts, known as standard contract clauses, which are model contracts approved by the European Commission. These contracts also ensure that the personal data is afforded the same protection as it is in the EEA.
4. Data Security Measures

WK Media Ltd always strives to ensure that your data is safe, both in our hands and in the hands of any third-party to whom we may disclose your data. Internally, we have put in place a number of security measures, both from a technical aspect as well as from an organizational aspect, to ensure that your data is not accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorized  manner, altered, or disclosed.

We also ensure that access to your personal data is determined on a ‘need-to-know’ basis, meaning that only the persons who have a direct need to access your personal data will have access to it. Furthermore, anyone having access to your personal data is subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected or actual personal data breaches. We will notify both you as an affected data subject and the supervisory authority concerned of any such data breach whenever we are legally required to do so and we shall maintain a log of any such breaches.

Data Retention

WK Media Ltd shall only retain your personal data for as long as necessary in view of the purposes for which they were collected. Such purposes could include the satisfaction of any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

When determining the appropriate retention period applicable to your data, we take several factors into consideration, such as the nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risks surrounding the unauthorized use or disclosure of such data, the purposes for which we collect and process such data, and the applicable laws and/or regulatory requirements imposed on us.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes set out within this Privacy Policy. These include any period of retention that may be in order to adhere to applicable laws and regulatory requirements imposed on us. We do not collect any more personal data from our users than is necessary for the purposes set out within the Terms and Conditions, the Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy. The end of our business relationship starts to run on the day that your account with us is formally closed. We will retain your personal data for a period of 5 years to allow us to meet our regulatory and legal obligations and defend ourselves against any claims. Personal data which is not needed for these purposes will be deleted after this period.

Please feel free to contact our DPO on the contact details provided above for further information on our retention periods.

Your Rights

Data protection law gives you, as a data subject, certain rights in certain circumstances. In accordance with law, you have a right to:

2. Request the correction of your personal data – This means that if any personal data we hold about you is incomplete or incorrect, you have a right to have this corrected. Keep in mind, however, that we may need you to provide evidence and documentation (such as your ID documentation or proof of address) to support your request;
3. Request the erasure of your personal data (i.e. the right to be forgotten) – This means that you may request the erasure of your personal data where we no longer have a legitimate reason to continue processing it or retaining it. Please be aware that this right is not absolute – meaning that we are not able to satisfy your request where we are obliged under a legal obligation to retain the data, or where we have reason that the retention of data is necessary for us to defend ourselves in a legal dispute;
4. Object to the processing of your personal data – where we rely on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to process your data and you feel that our processing of your  data in such a manner impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. However, in some cases, we may be able to demonstrate that we have a compelling legitimate ground to process your data which may override your rights and freedoms. You may submit your objections to processing of your personal data on the grounds of the above-mentioned legitimate company interests by contacting our Data Protection Officer;
5. Request the restriction of the processing of your personal data – You may ask us to temporarily suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios: (a) where you want us to establish the accuracy of the data, (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not wish for us to delete it, (c) where you need us to retain your data even when we no longer need it in order for you to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or (d) where you have objected the use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
6. Request the transfer of your personal data (i.e. data portability) – This means you may request us to transfer certain data we process about you to a third party. This right only applies to data acquired through automated means which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we used the data to perform our obligations under a contract with you;
7. Withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on your consent to process the data – ‘Opting out’ or withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out by us up until the time you withdrew your consent. Withdrawing your consent means that, going forward, you no longer wish for us to process your data in such a manner. This means that you may no longer consent for us to provide you with certain services (such as marketing);
8. File a complaint with a supervisory authority – as explained in section 1(b) of this Privacy Policy.

In order to exercise your rights as explained above, we may need to request specific information about you to help us verify your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that we are certain that the person to whom we disclose your personal data is really you.

We will do our utmost to respond to all legitimate requests within a one-month timeframe from the submission of a request. If your request is particularly complex, or if you have made multiple requests in a certain time period, it may take us a little longer. In such a case, we will notify you of this extension.
