Under GDPR, we must have a legal basis to process your personal data. At The Dog House Megaways, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, i.e., to provide you with our gaming services and manage your account.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, such as anti-money laundering regulations, responsible gambling requirements, and age verification.
• 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. Our legitimate interests include improving our services, preventing fraud, protecting network and information security, and direct marketing (where permitted).
• Consent: We will obtain your explicit consent for certain processing activities, such as sending you direct marketing communications, where other legal bases do not apply. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

We may share your personal data with third parties in specific circumstances and always with appropriate safeguards:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as payment processors, IT support, customer service platforms, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by The Dog House Megaways.
• Gaming Providers: We share necessary data with our game providers to allow you to play their games and for them to maintain fair play and regulatory compliance.
• Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We will disclose your data when legally required to do so by our licensing authority, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental bodies to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, or protect our rights.
• Affiliates and Business Partners: In some cases, we may share data with our affiliated companies or business partners for purposes such as joint promotions, provided you have given your consent.
• Potential Purchasers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will put appropriate safeguards in place.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

The security of your personal data is paramount to us at The Dog House Megaways. We implement robust technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
• Employee Training: Our staff receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee its absolute security, but we are continuously working to strengthen our security protocols.
