Protecting Your Personal Data

Your Personal Data is protected by law. The law states that we can only process your Personal Data when there is a genuine reason to do so and it must be one of the following:

• To fulfil any contract that we have with you;
• We have a legal obligation;
• Where you have consented to the processing;
• When it is in our legitimate interest;
• When it is in the public interest;
• When it is in your vital interests.

Legitimate Interests

When we have a business or commercial reason to process your Personal Data this is referred to as a legitimate interest. Your Personal Data is still protected and we must not process it in a way that would be unfair to you or your interests.

If we do use legitimate interests as a reason to process your Personal Data we will tell you that we are doing so, what our legitimate interests are and provide you with a method to raise any questions or objections you may have. However, compelling grounds for processing such information may over-ride your right to object.

How long we keep your Personal Data

Whenever your data is kept by Duel Gaming we will ensure that it is appropriately protected and only used for acceptable purposes.

We will keep your data for the period that you are a customer of Duel Gaming.

If you are no longer a customer of Duel Gaming, we will keep your data for the minimum length of time required to comply with the purposes set out in this policy and relevant legal or regulatory obligations. Your Personal Data may be kept longer if we cannot delete it for technical reasons.

Why we process your Personal Data

Collecting your information is essential for providing you the Duel Gaming Limited services. In addition, your data is used to personalise and improve your experience using our services, and to contact you from time to time with important information. In some cases, we need to collect and use your information to comply with the law. Under data protection laws, we also need to identify a specified lawful basis upon which we are processing your personal information. We rely on different bases for different processing activities.

Why do we collect your Personal Data and on what basis?

In accordance with the contract set out in our Terms and Conditions

• When it is necessary for the performance of the contract to which you are a party. Our Terms &Conditions, which you have accepted at registration, set out the terms of the contract and the services we will provide;

• to process your transactions.

For legitimate interests

It is necessary to process your data for the purposes set out below, except where our interests are overridden by the interests, rights or freedoms of affected individuals (such as you). To determine if we can process your data on this basis, we shall consider a number of factors, such as what you were told at the time you provided your data, what your expectations are about the processing of the data, the nature of the data, and the impact of the processing on you.

In accordance with Duel Gaming’s legal obligations, when it is necessary in order to comply with mandatory legal obligations to which it is subject under applicable laws:

• to determine where you are accessing the services and to ensure it is from the UK to ensure we are not in breach of overseas regulations which may cover the services offered by Duel Gaming;

When you register with us we will ask if you would like to receive marketing communications, and you can change your marketing choices online, or in writing at any time.

If you choose not to provide your Personal Data it may prevent us from meeting legal obligations, fulfilling a contract, or performing services required to run your account. Not providing your Personal Data may mean we are unable to provide you with products or services.
