Le Bandit processes your personal data based on several legal grounds, in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, specifically to provide our gaming services and manage your account.
• Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Le Bandit is subject, such as AML, KYC, and responsible gaming regulations.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Le Bandit or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes fraud prevention, network and information security, and service improvement.
• Consent: In certain cases, we may rely on your explicit consent for processing specific types of data, particularly for direct marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Le Bandit may share your personal data with third parties under specific circumstances, always with appropriate safeguards in place:

• Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, customer service platforms, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
• Regulatory and Legal Authorities: We may disclose your information to government bodies, regulatory authorities, or law enforcement agencies if required by law or in response to a valid legal request, such as a court order or subpoena.
• Fraud Prevention and Security: To protect Le Bandit and its users, we may share information with organisations involved in fraud prevention, anti-money laundering, and responsible gaming initiatives.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
• Affiliates: We may share your data with our corporate affiliates for operational purposes, provided they adhere to this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Le Bandit takes the security of your personal data seriously. We implement a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers.
• Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel only, who require the information to perform their job functions.
• Firewalls: Our systems are protected by robust firewalls to prevent unauthorised external access.
• Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses in our systems.
• Employee Training: Our employees receive regular training on data protection and privacy best practices.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to also take steps to protect your account, such as using strong, unique passwords and not sharing your login details.

• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Le Bandit retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of processing. For example:

• Account Data: We generally retain your account information for the duration of your active account and for a period thereafter as required by gambling regulations (typically 5 to 7 years after account closure) to comply with legal obligations such as AML and tax laws.
• Transaction Data: Financial transaction records are retained for a period mandated by financial and gambling regulations.
• Communication Data: Records of communications may be retained for a shorter period, unless required for legal disputes or regulatory compliance.

Once the retention period expires, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised. In some cases, we may retain data for longer if required by a court order or other legal obligation.

Given the global nature of online services, your personal data collected by Le Bandit may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including countries that may not offer the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. For example, our servers or service providers may be located in different countries.

When we transfer your data internationally, Le Bandit takes all reasonable steps to protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. This includes implementing appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities, to protect your data during transfer.

Le Bandit's services are strictly not intended for individuals under the legal gambling age (which is 18 years in most jurisdictions, or higher in others). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the legal gambling age, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section.

Le Bandit reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, legal obligations, or technological advancements. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website with a revised "Last Updated" date. We may also notify you through other means, such as email, if the changes are substantial.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how Le Bandit is protecting your information. Your continued use of our services after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
