We rely on several legal bases to process your personal data, depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your information:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (e.g., account registration, processing transactions).
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation to which Wazamba is subject (e.g., anti-money laundering, age verification, responsible gambling).
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (e.g., fraud prevention, improving our services, marketing, network and information security). We always conduct a balancing test so our legitimate interests do not unduly impact your rights.
• Consent: In certain situations, we may ask for your explicit consent to process your personal data (e.g., for sending direct marketing communications, processing special categories of data). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT and software providers, customer support providers, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose your information to government bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies, or other authorized third parties when we are legally required to do so, or when we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal processes, protect our rights, or support the safety of our users or the public.
• Fraud Prevention and Anti-Money Laundering Agencies: To combat fraud and money laundering, we may share your data with specialized agencies and organizations.
• Affiliates and Group Companies: We may share data within our corporate group for operational, analytical, and marketing purposes.

• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
• Data Minimization: We only collect and retain data that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our retention periods are determined based on the type of data, the purpose of processing, and legal or regulatory obligations.

Typically, we retain account information and transaction data for a minimum period of five years after your account is closed, or as required by anti-money laundering and gambling regulations. Data used for marketing purposes will be retained until you withdraw your consent or object to such processing. Once the retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Wazamba may transfer your personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) where data protection laws may not be as comprehensive as those within the EEA.

These safeguards may include:

• Transferring data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission.
• Using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
• Implementing binding corporate rules.
• Obtaining your explicit consent for the transfer.
