- Create, administer, and maintain your account.
- Provide casino games, account tools, payment functionality, and customer support.
- Process deposits, withdrawals, refunds, and other account transactions.
- Confirm age, identity, account ownership, and the accuracy of information supplied to us.
- Protect The Phone Casino, its users, and service providers against fraud, money laundering, abuse, security threats, and other unlawful or harmful activity.
- Manage risk, investigate unusual activity, and enforce our terms, rules, and responsible gaming procedures.

Where required, we consider the purpose of the processing and the appropriate legal basis before using personal information. The information we request will generally be limited to what is reasonably relevant for the purpose concerned.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Phone Casino may use cookies, pixels, local storage, software development tools, and similar technologies. These technologies can help the website remember settings, maintain secure sessions, support account functionality, measure performance, and understand how visitors use the platform.
Some technologies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Others may be used for analytics, preference management, security monitoring, or promotional measurement. Where appropriate, you may control certain non-essential technologies through your browser settings or a cookie preference tool made available on the website.
Disabling cookies may affect how parts of The Phone Casino operate. For example, account login features, game preferences, payment processes, or security controls may not work as intended. Information stored by cookies does not necessarily identify you by name, but it may be connected with device or account information in certain circumstances.
Data Sharing
We do not treat personal information as a product for general sale. The Phone Casino may share information with selected recipients where this is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
- Payment processors and financial service providers that facilitate deposits, withdrawals, refunds, and transaction checks.
- Identity, age, fraud prevention, security, and risk management providers.
- Technology, hosting, communications, customer support, analytics, and maintenance suppliers.
- Professional advisers, auditors, insurers, and business partners where appropriate.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, public authorities, or other parties when disclosure is required or reasonably necessary.
- Purchasers, investors, or advisers involved in a possible restructuring, merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Service providers receiving information are expected to use it only for authorised purposes and to apply suitable confidentiality and security measures. We may also share information where you ask us to do so or otherwise give permission.
Data Security
The Phone Casino uses administrative, technical, and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, authentication processes, monitoring, secure communications, staff procedures, and supplier assessments.
No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should keep your account credentials confidential, use a strong password where available, avoid sharing access to your account, and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised activity. We may restrict access, suspend an account, or take other protective action where a security concern is identified.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. The retention period may depend on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, account activity, unresolved disputes, security requirements, and applicable record-keeping obligations.
When information is no longer needed, we may securely delete it, anonymise it, or place it beyond active use. Some information may be retained for longer where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, investigate suspected misuse, maintain financial records, or meet other applicable obligations.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and the law that applies to your personal information, you may have rights relating to how your information is handled. These may include the right to:
- Request access to personal information held about you.
- Ask for inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information to be corrected.
- Request deletion of information in certain circumstances.
- Ask for processing to be restricted while a concern or objection is reviewed.
- Object to particular uses of information, including some forms of direct marketing.
- Request a copy of certain information in a usable electronic format.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting earlier processing.
These rights may be subject to exceptions, verification requirements, and other limitations. For example, we may need to retain certain records or decline a request where fulfilling it would compromise security, affect another person's privacy, or conflict with an applicable obligation. We may ask for information to verify your identity before responding.
You can manage marketing preferences by using the unsubscribe option in a promotional message, where available, or by contacting us. You may also have the right to raise a concern with an appropriate data protection authority in your country or region.
Third-Party Services
The Phone Casino may include links, integrations, payment options, games, or other features supplied by third parties. Those providers may collect or process information under their own privacy notices and terms. We recommend reviewing the relevant third-party information before using an external service or leaving our website.
Third-party analytics, advertising, customer support, fraud prevention, and payment tools may use cookies or comparable technologies. The availability and operation of these services can change over time. We aim to work with providers that apply appropriate safeguards, but we are not responsible for privacy practices that are outside our control.
International Transfers
Some suppliers or service providers used by The Phone Casino may process information in a country other than the United Kingdom or the country where you access our services. Where information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to assess the transfer and use safeguards intended to protect the information in accordance with applicable requirements.
These safeguards may include contractual protections, security controls, access restrictions, or other recognised transfer arrangements. Information may also be transferred where necessary to provide a service you request, complete a transaction, protect users, or comply with a lawful requirement.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be revised to reflect changes to our services, technology, suppliers, business practices, or applicable obligations. The updated version will be posted on the relevant page, and the revised policy will apply from the date stated or, where no date is shown, from publication.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where a change is significant, The Phone Casino may provide an additional notice through the website, by email, or through another suitable communication channel. Continuing to use our services after an update means that you acknowledge the revised policy.
