Panosta processes your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, specifically to provide the online gambling services you have requested and to manage your account.
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as anti-money laundering (AML) laws, KYC requirements, and responsible gambling regulations.

  • Consent: In specific situations, we may rely on your explicit consent to process certain types of personal data, particularly for marketing communications. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Panosta may share your personal data with third parties under specific circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as payment processors, identity verification services, IT support, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes specified by Panosta.
  • Regulatory Bodies and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information to government authorities, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement agencies when required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, and that of our users or the public.
  • Fraud Prevention Agencies: To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share your data with specialized agencies and databases.
  • Group Companies: Your data may be shared with other entities within our corporate group for internal administrative purposes, service provision, and compliance.
  • 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.

Panosta will never sell your personal data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Data Security

Panosta implements robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies (e.g., SSL/TLS) to secure data transmission between your device and our servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who require it for legitimate business purposes and are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.

  • Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential weaknesses.
  • Data Minimization: We only collect and retain personal data that is necessary for the stated purposes.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure. Therefore, Panosta cannot guarantee absolute security.
