International Transfers
Due to the global nature of online gambling and our corporate structure, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area ("EEA"), including Gibraltar and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers are located.
When we transfer personal data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by law, such as:
- Ensuring the destination country has been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection by the UK government or, where applicable, the European Commission
- Entering into contracts based on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or equivalent instruments recognised by relevant authorities
- Implementing additional technical and organisational measures where necessary (for example, encryption and access controls).
Further information about international transfers and copies of relevant safeguards (subject to appropriate redaction) can be obtained by contacting our Data Protection Officer via the contact methods described in the "Who We Are" and "Complaints & Contacts" sections.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements, and to resolve disputes.
Retention periods
In determining appropriate retention periods, we consider the type and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements (including UK Gambling Commission, AML and tax rules). By way of general guidance:
- Account and identification data: Typically retained for up to 5 - 7 years after your account is closed, to comply with AML, gambling and financial regulations and to be able to defend or exercise legal claims.
- Gameplay and transaction data: Generally retained for a similar period (up to 5 - 7 years after account closure) for regulatory, auditing and accounting purposes.
- Affordability and source-of-funds documents: Retained for as long as required under AML and regulatory obligations, usually up to 5 - 7 years after the relationship ends, unless a longer period is required by law for specific investigations or proceedings.
- Customer support records: Retained for up to 5 years after resolution of the relevant query or complaint, depending on the nature of the issue.
- Marketing data: Retained for as long as you remain opted in. If you opt out, we will retain limited information (e.g. your email address and opt-out flag) to ensure we honour your preference, typically for up to 3 years after your last interaction.
- Cookie and analytics data: Retention periods vary by cookie type; see the "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" section and our cookie banner or settings tool for details.
Deletion and anonymisation
When data is no longer required for the purposes described above, we will either securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you. In some cases we may be unable to fully delete data due to overriding legal or regulatory obligations; where this is the case, we will restrict processing to what is strictly necessary for those obligations.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and the legal framework that applies, you may have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. For UK players, these rights arise primarily under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. For players in the European Union, equivalent rights arise under the EU GDPR. For players in Mexico, similar rights arise under the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and related regulations. We aim to respect these rights consistently, subject to applicable legal limitations and exemptions.
Core data protection rights
- Right of access: To obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of the data we hold about you, along with certain information about how we use it.
- Right to rectification: To have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected or completed. You can update some information directly in your account; for other changes, you may need to contact customer support or our Data Protection Team.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): To request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it. This right is not absolute; for example, we may be required to retain certain data to comply with AML, gambling, tax or other legal obligations, or to establish or defend legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing: To request that we temporarily suspend processing of your data in certain circumstances (e.g. while a dispute about accuracy or legal basis is resolved).
- Right to object: To object to processing that we carry out based on legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests. We will stop the processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing is required for legal claims.
- Right to object to direct marketing: You can object at any time to our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for marketing). We will honour all such objections promptly.
- Right to data portability: To receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible and where the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent (for example for certain marketing or cookies), you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Additional considerations for Mexican players
For players located in Mexico, and to the extent Mexican data protection law applies, you may also exercise ARCO rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation and Opposition) and related rights under the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and its Regulations. We will assess such requests in line with both Mexican and UK/EU data protection principles, to the extent compatible with our regulatory obligations (for example, AML and gambling regulations).
Exercising your rights and timeframes
- How to submit a request: You can exercise your rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer or Data Protection Team via the communication channels described in this policy (e.g. Help/Contact Us section of lsbetsi.com or by writing to our postal address in Gibraltar).
- Information we may request: We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the data (or to exercise any other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to someone who has no right to receive it.
- Fees: You will not normally have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request if it is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, in accordance with applicable law.
- Response time: We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month (30 days). If your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests, we may extend this period by up to a further two months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
- Limitations: Some rights may be limited by legal or regulatory obligations (for example, AML, gambling, tax and accounting requirements) or by the need to protect the rights of others. Where we cannot fully comply with your request, we will explain the reasons, subject to legal restrictions.

Data Security
We take the security of your personal data very seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage.
Technical measures
- Encryption in transit: Data transmitted between your browser or device and our systems is protected using modern encryption protocols (such as TLS 1.2 or higher), helping to safeguard it from interception.

We aim to align our security practices with recognised industry standards and evolving best practices. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. You are also responsible for keeping your login details and devices secure and for notifying us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.
