Rock Paper Scissors Casino – Your Data Security in the UK
1. Introduction to Privacy and Data Protection
Welcome to Rock Paper Scissors Casino. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our players in the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, process, and safeguard your personal information when you use our services. Our practices are strictly governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
As a provider of premier online gaming, we recognize the sensitivity of the data you entrust to us. Whether it is your financial details, identification documents, or gaming preferences, our priority is ensuring that your data is handled with integrity, confidentiality, and transparency.
2. Data Controller Information
For the purposes of the UK GDPR, the Data Controller is RPS Gaming Solutions Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. We are fully registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) oversees our privacy strategy and ensures that we remain compliant with all British regulatory requirements.
3. The Categories of Data We Collect
To provide a safe and regulated gambling environment, we must collect various types of personal data. Under the Social Responsibility Code of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), we have a legal obligation to verify who our customers are.
Data Categorisation and Legal Basis
Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) Compliance: This categorisation is maintained in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018. For inquiries regarding your rights (Access, Erasure, Portability), please contact our UK DPO.
4. How We Use Your Personal Data
We do not just collect data; we use it to enhance your experience and meet our rigorous licensing requirements. The primary uses include:
- Verification: Confirming you are over 18 and reside in the UK.
- Safe Gambling: Monitoring betting patterns to identify potential gambling harm.
- Personalisation: Tailoring our “Rock Paper Scissors” exclusive offers to your playstyle.
- Marketing: Only where you have provided explicit “opt-in” consent, we may send you promotions.
5. Interactive Privacy Insight: Data Usage Breakdown
Transparency is a core value at Rock Paper Scissors Casino. Below is an interactive representation of how our internal resources are allocated to protecting different segments of your data.
Our Security Resource Allocation
Security Breakdown: Our allocation model prioritizes KYC/AML Compliance and Independent Audits (eCOGRA) to meet the strict 2026 UKGC guidelines, ensuring that player protection always outweighs promotional activities.
6. Third-Party Data Sharing
We never sell your data to third-party marketing companies. However, to operate within the strict legal framework of the British Isles, we share data with specific trusted entities. This is essential for preventing financial crime and ensuring the integrity of sport and gambling.
6.1 Regulatory and Legal Authorities
We are legally required to share information with the UK Gambling Commission and the National Crime Agency (NCA) in cases where money laundering or suspicious activity is detected. Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, these disclosures are mandatory and do not require your prior consent.
6.2 Identification and Credit Reference Agencies
To verify your identity without requiring cumbersome paperwork for every transaction, we use “Electronic Verification” services. This involves sharing your data with agencies like Experian or Equifax. These are “soft” checks that do not affect your credit score but confirm that you are who you say you are.
7. Data Retention: How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We do not keep your data longer than necessary. However, as a UK-licensed operator, we are subject to statutory retention periods. For example, under UK AML regulations, we must keep your identification and financial records for a minimum of five years after your account is closed.
Once the legal retention period has expired, your data is either permanently deleted from our servers or irreversibly anonymized for statistical research purposes. This allows us to study gaming trends without compromising your individual identity.
8. International Data Transfers
While we primarily store data on secure servers within the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), some of our technical service providers may operate outside these regions. Whenever we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:
- Adequacy Decisions: We only transfer data to countries that the UK government has deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.
9. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
In the interest of **Responsible Gambling**, we use automated systems to profile player behaviour. If our algorithms detect markers of harm—such as a sudden increase in stakes or late-night betting sessions—the system may automatically trigger an interaction or temporarily suspend the account. You have the right to request a manual review of any automated decision by contacting our DPO.
10. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a resident of the United Kingdom, you have powerful rights regarding your personal data. At Rock Paper Scissors Casino, we make it easy for you to exercise these rights through your account dashboard.
- Right of Access (DSAR): You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can request that we delete your data, provided it does not conflict with our legal retention obligations to the UKGC.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to suspend the processing of your data in certain scenarios.
- Right to Portability: You can ask for your data to be transferred to another provider in a machine-readable format.
11. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our casino and also allows us to improve our site. We use both “Session Cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) and “Persistent Cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period).
Authoritative Regulatory Resources
UK Data Protection Note: In accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR, all personal information is handled with the highest level of security and oversight by the ICO.
12. Security Measures
We employ TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. Our servers are housed in Tier-IV data centres with biometric access controls. We also perform regular “Penetration Testing” to ensure our defences are robust against evolving cyber threats.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legislation or our internal processes. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our homepage. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
14. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data protection practices, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@rockpaperscissorscasino.co.uk. You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO, although we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns first.
