Your privacy at Godz Casino

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you play at godzcasino.co.uk, why we collect it, how long we keep it and the rights you hold over it. We operate under licence 8048/JAZ2023-041 from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board and apply GDPR-aligned standards for every player.

What data we collect

We collect only the data needed to run your account, meet our legal duties and keep gambling safe. The categories below cover everything we hold about you.

  • Identity data: full name, date of birth, email address, phone number, country of residence.
  • Verification documents: government ID or passport, proof of address and proof of payment method, collected during KYC.
  • Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, payment method details and game history.
  • Technical data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and approximate location derived from your IP.
  • Gameplay behaviour: bets placed, games played, win and loss records, session times.
  • Marketing preferences: which offers you opted into, communication channels and consent records.

How we use your data

Each use has a specific purpose tied to your account. We never sell your data and we never use it for purposes you have not been told about.

  • Creating and managing your player account.
  • Verifying your identity and age before your first withdrawal.
  • Processing deposits and withdrawals through Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, crypto and other listed methods.
  • Preventing fraud, money laundering and multi-accounting.
  • Monitoring gambling behaviour for responsible-gaming purposes, including deposit limits and GAMSTOP self-exclusion checks.
  • Sending marketing offers where you have given consent.
  • Meeting legal and regulatory obligations towards the Curaçao Gaming Control Board.

Contract

We process your data to perform the contract you hold with us. Without your identity and payment details we cannot open an account, settle bets or pay out winnings, so this processing is required to provide the service.

Legal obligation

Anti-money-laundering and KYC rules oblige us to verify your identity and retain transaction records for five years or more. Refusal to provide verification documents means we cannot complete your withdrawal.

Legitimate interest

We rely on legitimate interest for fraud prevention, security monitoring and aggregate analytics that improve our games and site performance. This interest never overrides your rights, and you may object to it at any time.

Consent

Marketing emails, SMS offers and non-essential cookies run only on your consent. You withdraw consent whenever you like, and we stop that processing immediately without affecting your account.

How long we keep data

Retention depends on the type of data and our regulatory duties. The table shows each category and the period we hold it.

Data categoryRetention period
Verification documents (KYC)5 years after account closure, or longer if required by law
Transaction and wagering records5 years minimum under AML regulations
Account and identity dataFor the life of the account, then 5 years in restricted archive
