Legal Basis for Processing
Because our players and visitors can be located in different jurisdictions, we rely on different legal bases for processing, in line with applicable Canadian laws (including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act - PIPEDA and relevant provincial laws), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies, and other relevant regulations. Depending on the activity, we may process your personal data on one or more of the following grounds:
Consent
- Marketing communications: we obtain your consent before sending electronic marketing communications (email, SMS, push notifications) where required by law. You may withdraw your consent at any time via your account settings or by using the unsubscribe link in our messages.
- Cookies and analytics: where required, we ask for your consent to place non‑essential cookies (for example, for advertising or advanced analytics).

Legal Obligations

Whenever we share personal data with third parties, we require them to use the data only for the specified purposes and to protect it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and contractual obligations.
International Transfers
Because N1 Interactive Ltd. is established in Malta and uses global service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your province, territory, or country of residence, including:
- Malta and other EU/EEA countries: where our core gaming infrastructure, support teams, or group entities are located.
- Canada and the United Kingdom: where payment processors, banks, or service partners operate to support Canadian players.
- Other countries (including potentially the United States): where some of our technical, analytic, or communication providers maintain systems.
When transferring personal data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses: using European Commission‑approved or other recognised contractual clauses for transfers from the EEA/UK to third countries.
- Data minimisation and pseudonymisation: limiting the data shared and, where feasible, pseudonymising it before transfer.
- Technical and organisational measures: encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, and robust incident management processes.
Where local laws in your jurisdiction provide additional requirements or protections for international transfers (for example, under GDPR or Mexican data protection rules), we aim to implement measures consistent with those standards.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to satisfy legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements, and to resolve potential disputes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and applicable laws, but we apply the following general principles:
- Account and identification data: kept for the duration of your active account and normally for up to five (5) years after account closure, to comply with AML, gaming, and legal record‑keeping obligations.
- Transaction and payment data: retained for the duration of the relationship and generally for up to five (5) to seven (7) years after the relevant transaction, depending on applicable financial and tax regulations.
- Gameplay and behavioral data: stored while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter (typically up to five (5) years) to support responsible gambling measures, fraud investigations, and dispute resolution.
- Marketing data: retained until you withdraw your consent or object to marketing, after which we will stop using your data for marketing and retain minimal records to respect your opt‑out.
- Cookies and analytics data: retained in accordance with our cookie lifetimes, which vary by cookie type (see "Cookies & Tracking Technologies").
When data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal obligation to retain it, we will securely delete, anonymise, or aggregate it. If you exercise your right to erasure, we will remove or anonymise your personal data where legal requirements allow, while retaining the minimum necessary information to demonstrate compliance and to handle potential future claims.
Your Rights
Depending on your place of residence and the laws that apply to you, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data. For Canadian residents, these rights are primarily based on PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy laws. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Mexico, additional rights may apply under the GDPR or under Mexican Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP), including ARCO rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition).
Core Privacy Rights
- Right of access: you can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of the data and information about how it is used.
- Right to rectification (correction): you can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or updated.
- Right to erasure / cancellation: subject to legal limitations (e.g., AML and gaming laws), you may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where you have withdrawn consent.
- Right to restriction of processing: in certain circumstances, you can request that we restrict the use of your data (for example, while a dispute is being resolved).
- Right to object: you may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for risk or marketing purposes, and you can always object to direct marketing.
- Right to data portability: where technically feasible and required by law, you may request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format to transmit to another provider.
- Marketing consent withdrawal: where processing is based on consent (for example, email marketing), you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Additional Rights for Mexican and EU/EEA Users
- ARCO rights (Mexico): Mexican users have specific rights of Access, Rectification, Cancellation, and Opposition under LFPDPPP. We will handle such requests in line with that framework.
- GDPR rights: users in the EEA or UK have enhanced rights under GDPR, including the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where it produces legal or similarly significant effects, subject to certain exceptions.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit a request: contact us via email at privacy@praise-casino-ca.com or through the secure messaging function in your praise-casino account on praise-casino-ca.com. Please specify the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information to verify your identity and locate your records.
- Verification: we may request additional information to verify your identity (for example, logging into your account or providing identification documents) to protect you against unauthorized access or deletion of your data.
- Response timeframe: we aim to respond to all privacy requests within 30 days of receipt, as required by applicable laws. If we need more time due to complexity or volume, we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Cost: we provide responses to reasonable requests free of charge. If a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, as permitted by law.
- Limitations: certain rights may be restricted where necessary and proportionate to protect the rights and freedoms of others, to preserve legal privilege, or to comply with mandatory record‑keeping obligations (for example, AML rules that require us to retain data for a minimum period).
