Privacy Policy
This privacy policy outlines how Cadoola collects, processes, stores, and protects personal information provided by users of our online gaming platform. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and transparency in accordance with applicable regulations in the United Kingdom and European Union. This document explains our practices regarding personal data and the rights available to our users.
Information Collection and Usage
Cadoola collects various types of personal information to provide gaming services, ensure platform security, and comply with legal obligations. During account registration, we gather essential details including full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. Financial information such as payment card details, transaction history, and banking information is collected to process deposits and withdrawals. Additionally, we collect technical data including IP addresses, device information, browser type, and gameplay patterns to enhance user experience and detect fraudulent activity. Identity verification documents, including copies of identification cards, utility bills, and payment method verification, are required to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and responsible gambling measures. We use this information to operate gaming services, verify user identity, process financial transactions, prevent fraud and underage gambling, fulfil legal and regulatory requirements, and improve our platform functionality. All data collection is conducted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018.
Data Protection and Security Measures
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our technical safeguards include industry-standard SSL encryption for all data transmission, secure servers with firewall protection, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and restricted access protocols for staff members handling personal data. Organisational measures include mandatory data protection training for all employees, confidentiality agreements with third-party service providers, established incident response procedures for potential data breaches, and regular reviews of our privacy practices and policies. Payment information is processed through Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant systems, ensuring that financial data receives the highest level of protection. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or as required by law.

| Transaction Records | 7 years from last transaction | Legal obligations |

Third-Party Data Sharing and Transfers
Cadoola may share personal information with carefully selected third parties to operate our services effectively and meet legal obligations. These parties include payment processors who handle deposit and withdrawal transactions, identity verification services that confirm user details and prevent fraud, regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies when required by law, and technical service providers who maintain our platform infrastructure. We engage marketing partners only with explicit user consent and ensure all third parties adhere to strict data protection standards through contractual agreements. Data may be transferred outside the United Kingdom to countries that provide adequate levels of data protection as recognised by relevant authorities. Where transfers occur to countries without adequate protection, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. We never sell personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. All data sharing arrangements are designed to protect user privacy whilst enabling us to deliver quality gaming services and maintain safe gaming environments.
User Rights and Data Management
Under data protection legislation, users have specific rights regarding their personal information held by Cadoola. These rights include the right to access personal data and obtain copies of information we hold, the right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal information, the right to request erasure of personal data in certain circumstances, the right to restrict processing of personal information, the right to data portability for information provided to us, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Users may exercise these rights by contacting our data protection team through designated channels on our platform. We will respond to all requests within one month, though complex requests may require up to three months with appropriate notification. Account holders can access and update certain information directly through their account settings. Users also have the right to withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time without affecting other services. If users believe their data protection rights have been violated, they may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom. We are committed to working cooperatively with users and regulatory authorities to resolve any concerns regarding data handling practices.
Policy Updates and Contact Information
This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or business operations. When significant changes occur, we will notify users through email or prominent notices on our platform before the changes take effect. The date of the latest revision will always be clearly displayed at the beginning of this document. We encourage users to review this privacy policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect personal information. For questions, concerns, or requests related to this privacy policy or data protection practices, users may contact our dedicated data protection officer through the contact methods provided on the Cadoola platform. We strive to address all enquiries promptly and transparently, maintaining open communication channels to ensure users feel confident about their privacy whilst enjoying our gaming services.
