Data Retention and Deletion

We maintain clear data retention policies balancing user privacy rights with regulatory obligations and legitimate business needs. Our retention periods vary based on information type, legal requirements, and operational necessity.

Account information and gaming records are typically retained for seven years following account closure to meet anti-money laundering regulations and dispute resolution requirements. Financial transaction data remains accessible for ten years as required by New Zealand financial regulations and tax obligations. Identity verification documents are retained for the minimum period required by Know Your Customer regulations.

Technical logs and security data are retained for up to two years for fraud prevention and security monitoring purposes.

Customer service communications may be retained for up to five years for quality assurance and dispute resolution.

Upon expiration of retention periods, personal information is securely deleted or anonymized to prevent identification. We maintain detailed records of deletion activities and can provide confirmation when personal information has been removed from our systems. Emergency retention may occur when legal holds or ongoing investigations require temporary preservation of specific data sets.
