Whenever we share personal data with third parties, we require them, through contract and/or law, to process it only for specified purposes and with appropriate security and confidentiality safeguards.
International Transfers
Although our primary operations focus on Canada, some of our service providers, infrastructure, and group entities may be located outside your province of residence and outside Canada, including (but not limited to) the United States, the European Economic Area ("EEA"), and other jurisdictions.
- Location of processing: Personal data may be stored and processed on servers and systems located in Canada (including the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake) and in other countries where our service providers operate.

- Standard contractual clauses or other contractual protections approved by relevant authorities.
- Data processing agreements requiring high standards of security, confidentiality, and privacy compliance.
- Access by foreign authorities: Personal data stored abroad may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to foreign courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities.
By using bet99-win.ca, you understand that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your province or country of residence as described here, subject to the safeguards permitted or required by applicable laws.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to meet our legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations, and to protect our legitimate interests (for example, in the event of disputes). Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and applicable laws.
General retention guidelines
- Player account data (identity, contact, KYC/AML records): Typically retained for the duration of your relationship with us and, after account closure, for a period generally not exceeding five (5) years, unless a longer period is mandated by AML, tax, or gambling regulations, or is necessary in connection with legal proceedings.
- Transaction and gaming history: Retained for at least five (5) years from the date of the relevant transaction to satisfy regulatory, audit, and accounting requirements.
- Responsible gambling records: Retained for the period of any self-exclusion or active limit, plus an additional period (typically up to five (5) years) to ensure effective enforcement and regulatory compliance.
- Customer support and complaint records: Retained for the lifetime of the account and for a reasonable period after closure (usually up to five (5) years) to resolve disputes and demonstrate compliance.

- Technical logs and security data: Retained for shorter periods where possible (for example, 6 - 24 months), unless longer retention is required for security investigations or regulatory reasons.
When data is no longer needed, we will securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual.
You may request further details about retention periods for specific categories of data by contacting our privacy team.
Your Rights
We are committed to respecting your privacy rights under Canadian law and, where applicable, aligning our practices with international standards such as the EU GDPR and Mexican data protection laws, including the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP) and its regulations. The availability and exact scope of certain rights may depend on your place of residence and the laws that apply to our relationship with you.
Key rights
- Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and obtain a copy of such data, along with information about how we use it.
- Right to rectification (correction): You can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data be corrected or updated. In many cases you can update certain details directly in your account settings.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You may, in certain circumstances, request deletion of your personal data. This right is subject to important limitations: we may be required by law or regulation (for example, AML or gambling rules) to retain certain information for specific periods.
- Right to restrict processing: You may request that we restrict processing of your data in specific situations, such as while we verify its accuracy or assess an objection.
- Right to object: Where processing is based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing, you may object at any time. We will stop processing for marketing purposes once you object or opt out.
- Right to data portability: Where provided by law (for example, under GDPR), you may request to receive certain personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on consent (for example, for marketing communications or certain cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Rights related to automated decision-making: Where applicable, you may have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects, and to request human review of such decisions.

- Submit a request: Contact us via the privacy contact methods described in the "Complaints & Contacts" section or use the contact/support forms on bet99-win.ca, clearly indicating the right you wish to exercise.

- Processing your request: We aim to respond within 30 days of receiving a complete request, as required by Canadian privacy law and consistent with GDPR and Mexican standards. If your request is complex or we receive numerous requests, we may extend this period, and we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Fees: Requests are generally processed free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in accordance with applicable law.
Some rights may not be fully available in all jurisdictions or may be subject to regulatory obligations specific to gambling (for example, mandatory retention for AML). We will explain any such limitations in our response.

Data Security
We implement a comprehensive information security program designed to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we apply technical and organizational measures consistent with industry best practices and regulatory expectations.
Technical safeguards
- Encryption in transit and at rest: Data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected using transport layer security (TLS 1.2 or higher) where supported. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest using strong cryptographic standards.
- Access controls and authentication: Access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis, using role-based access controls, strong authentication procedures, and, where appropriate, multi-factor authentication.
- Network and system security: We employ firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-malware tools, secure configuration standards, and continuous monitoring to reduce vulnerability to cyberthreats.
Organizational and procedural measures
- Policies and training: Staff and relevant contractors are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive training on privacy, data protection, and security practices, particularly those working in customer support, payments, and risk departments.
- Vendor due diligence: We evaluate the security posture of third-party service providers that handle personal data and require appropriate safeguards in our contracts.
- Audit and oversight: We conduct internal reviews and, where appropriate, engage independent assessments to evaluate and enhance our security controls.
Incident response
- We maintain incident response procedures to detect, investigate, and respond to suspected or actual data breaches or security incidents.
- Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities (for example, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and, where applicable, EU or Mexican authorities) without undue delay, providing information about the incident and steps taken to mitigate potential harm.
Our security program is informed by internationally recognized frameworks (such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2) to the extent applicable, although bet99-win.ca and Bet 99 should not be understood as holding formal certification under these standards unless expressly stated on our website.
