Your Rights and Choices
Under UK data protection legislation, you possess several rights concerning your personal information held by Smooth Spins Casino. We respect these rights and provide mechanisms to exercise them effectively.
You have the right to access your personal data and receive confirmation of what information we hold about you. You may request a copy of this data in a commonly used electronic format. Should any information prove inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections or updates to ensure our records remain current.
In certain circumstances, you may request deletion of your personal information, known as the right to be forgotten. This applies when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose, you withdraw consent for processing, or you object to how we use your information. However, this right is not absolute and may be limited by our legal obligations to retain records for regulatory compliance.
You can restrict how we process your data or object to processing based on legitimate interests. This includes opting out of marketing communications whilst maintaining your gaming account. You also possess the right to data portability, enabling you to receive your information in a structured format for transfer to another service provider.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided in your account dashboard or through our customer support channels. We will respond to requests within one month, though complex requests may require additional time. You will not incur charges for exercising your rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
If you believe we have processed your information unlawfully or violated your data protection rights, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.
This Smooth Spins Casino privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. We will notify registered users of significant amendments through email or prominent notices on our platform. The current version always displays the last revision date at the top of this document. Continued use of our services after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
