Privacy Policy
This privacy policy outlines how Scizino collects, uses, protects, and manages personal information provided by users of our online gaming platform. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations in the United Kingdom, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
Scizino casino privacy policy requires us to be transparent about the types of information we gather from users. We collect personal information that you provide directly when creating an account, making transactions, or contacting our support team. This includes your name, email address, postal address, date of birth, telephone number, and payment details. Additionally, we automatically collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and gameplay statistics to improve our services and ensure safe gaming practices.
We also gather information through cookies and similar tracking technologies that help us understand how you interact with our platform. This data enables us to enhance user experience, detect fraudulent activity, and comply with regulatory requirements. All information collected serves specific purposes related to account management, transaction processing, identity verification, and platform security.
How We Use Your Information
The personal data collected through our platform serves multiple legitimate purposes essential for operating Scizino services. We utilise your information primarily to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your identity to prevent fraud and money laundering, and comply with legal obligations under UK gambling regulations. Your data enables us to provide customer support, communicate important updates about our services, and investigate any disputes or complaints.
We analyse aggregated and anonymised data to improve our gaming offerings, develop new features, and monitor platform performance. Marketing communications are sent only to users who have provided explicit consent, and you retain the right to opt out at any time. We implement your information in age verification processes to ensure that only individuals aged 18 and over access our services, which is fundamental to promoting safe gaming and responsible gambling practices.
| Purpose | Legal Basis | Data Retention Period |
|---|---|---|
| Account creation and management | Contractual necessity | Duration of account plus 7 years |
| Payment processing | Contractual necessity | 7 years from last transaction |
| Identity verification | Legal obligation | 7 years from account closure |
| Marketing communications | Consent | Until consent withdrawn |
| Fraud prevention | Legitimate interest | 7 years from incident |
Data Sharing and Third Parties
Scizino shares your personal information only when necessary and exclusively with trusted third parties who assist in delivering our services. Payment processors handle financial transactions securely, whilst identity verification services confirm your age and identity to meet regulatory requirements. We work with technology providers who maintain our platform infrastructure, customer support systems, and data analytics tools, all of whom are contractually obligated to protect your privacy.
Regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies may receive your information when required by law or to comply with legal processes. We may share data with responsible gambling organisations if we identify concerning gaming patterns that suggest potential gambling-related harm. In the event of a business merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may be transferred to the new entity, and you will be notified of any such changes. We never sell your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Your Rights and Data Protection
Under the Scizino casino privacy policy and UK data protection laws, you possess specific rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and request a copy in a commonly used electronic format. You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, and in certain circumstances, you can request deletion of your data, although we must retain some information to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
You have the right to object to processing activities based on legitimate interests and to restrict how we use your data in specific situations. If you have provided consent for marketing communications or certain data processing activities, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer through the contact details provided on our platform. We will respond to requests within one month, and there is no fee unless your request is clearly unfounded or excessive.
Data Security and Retention
Protecting your personal information is paramount to maintaining privacy and ensuring safe gaming at Scizino. We employ industry-standard security measures including encryption protocols, secure socket layer (SSL) technology, firewalls, and access controls to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data. Our systems undergo regular security assessments and updates to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or as required by law. Financial and transactional records are maintained for seven years following account closure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and gambling commission requirements. Marketing preferences and consent records are kept until you withdraw consent or close your account. Upon expiry of the retention period, we securely delete or anonymise your information to ensure it can no longer identify you.

|---|---|---|
| Account details | 7 years after closure | Regulatory compliance |
| Transaction records | 7 years after transaction | Financial regulations |
| Gameplay history | 7 years after activity | Responsible gambling monitoring |
| Communication logs | 3 years | Customer service quality |
| Marketing consent | Until withdrawal | Consent management |
