Spinlynx retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Our retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purposes of processing and applicable legal requirements.

Account information and gaming records are retained for a minimum of five years following account closure, as required by anti-money laundering regulations. Financial transaction records are maintained for at least six years to comply with tax and accounting obligations.

Identity verification documents are retained for the duration of your account relationship and for the legally required period thereafter. Communication records are typically retained for three years unless a longer period is required for legal purposes.

As Spinlynx operates internationally with our company registered in Curaçao, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. We ensure that all international transfers of personal data are conducted in compliance with GDPR requirements and with appropriate safeguards in place.

Where we transfer data to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we implement appropriate transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or we ensure that recipients are certified under recognised frameworks.

We conduct transfer impact assessments to evaluate the level of protection afforded to personal data in recipient countries and implement supplementary measures where necessary. Our service providers are contractually bound to process data only according to our instructions and to maintain appropriate security measures.

You may request information about the specific safeguards applied to transfers of your personal data by contacting us through the channels specified in this policy.
