Sharing of Data

CHRISTMAS-LOTTO may need to share your personal data with a number of trusted third parties due to the nature of the services it provides you with. These third parties include:

(i) Game providers – sometimes our game providers would require access to select data attributes (such as username, IP address, for instance), in order to provide us with the games you play on our website;

(ii) Payments providers – similarly, we may share some of your personal data with the payment providers you use to make and receive payments on our website;

(iii) Marketing partners – where we have your consent to send you marketing and promotions, we may share your contact details (such as email address or mailing address) with our marketing partners who take care of sending out all our marketing material to you;

(iv) Governmental or regulatory authorities – where we are legally obliged to disclose your data, we may have to share your personal data with such bodies.

We may, if necessary or authorised by law, provide your personal data to law enforcement agencies, governmental or regulatory organisations, courts or other public authorities. We attempt to notify all our customers about legal demands for their personal data unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe that the requests are disproportionate, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

We always ensure that any third party having access to your personal data is bound to respect the security of your personal data, and to process it in a lawful manner at all times and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and strict codes of conduct. We do not allow any third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. Processing by such third parties (also known as “Data Processors”) is solely carried out for specific purposes and in accordance with our instructions as Data Controller and on our behalf, and such third parties may only use your personal data to the extent to which we ourselves are entitled. Furthermore, in all cases, we strive to ensure that we do not share more data than is necessary to be shared for the service providers to carry out the processing activities in accordance with our instructions.

CHRISTMAS-LOTTO shall only be responsible for its own privacy policy and it does not warrant the standard of the privacy policies of any of the third parties who may have links placed on our site; we strongly recommend that whenever you leave our site you consult the privacy policy of any new site you may be visiting. CHRISTMAS-LOTTO shall in no manner whatsoever be held responsible for the manner in which third parties process the personal data you yourself provide them with.

Transfers of Personal Data

 

Some of the service providers mentioned above may be based in countries which do not form part of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). This may mean that your data may be stored in a location outside of the EEA. Whenever any transfers of your personal data are made to Data Processors located outside of the EEA, we always ensure that your data is protected in the same way as it is in the EEA. In order to ensure the protection of your data, we implement at least one of the following safeguards:

(i) Adequacy decision – we ensure that we transfer your personal data to countries providing an adequate level of protection according to the European Commission;

(ii) US / Swiss Privacy Shield – where the Data Processors we use are based in the United States of America or Switzerland, we try to ensure that such Data Processors are approved under the Privacy Shield. This Privacy Shield ensures that the Data Processors provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EEA and the United States or Switzerland;

(iii) Standard clauses – where the Data Processor is not based in a country benefiting from an adequacy decision or is not part of the US/Swiss privacy shield, as explained in (i) and (ii) above, we may use specific contracts, known as standard contract clauses, which are model contracts approved by the European Commission. These contracts also ensure that the personal data is afforded the same protection as it is in the EEA.

Automated Decision Making

In establishing and carrying out our business relationship, CHRISTMAS-LOTTO does not generally make use of fully automated decision making. If we use this procedure in individual cases, we shall inform you of this separately.

Data Security Measures

 

CHRISTMAS-LOTTO always strives to ensure that your data is safe, both in our hands and in the hands of any third-party to whom we may disclose your data. Internally, we have put in place a number of security measures, both from a technical aspect as well as from an organisational aspect, to ensure that your data is not accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorised manner, altered, or disclosed. To protect your personal data during communication with your web browser, the company uses secure and tested encryption technology from Thawt. Online transactions continue to be protected by the extremely reliable security system of a worldwide-accredited partner.

We also ensure that access to your personal data is determined on a ‘need-to-know’ basis, meaning that only the persons who have a direct need to access your personal data will have access to it. Furthermore, anyone having access to your personal data is subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected or actual personal data breaches. We will notify both you as an affected data subject and the supervisory authority concerned of any such data breach whenever we are legally required to do so and we shall maintain a log of any such breaches.

Data Retention

CHRISTMAS-LOTTO will only process and retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary in order to fulfill our contractual, regulatory and statutory obligations. We will assess and respond to requests to delete data. We will delete data provided that the data is no longer required in order to fulfill contractual, accounting, or reporting requirements, regulatory or statutory obligations, or the fulfillment of any obligations to preserve records according to law.

We will normally retain your records for a minimum of ten years from the date of your last recorded account activity to comply with legal, regulatory and contractual requirements unless there is a particular reason to hold the records for longer; your personal data may be retained for longer periods in the event of prospective or pending debt collecting, legal or law-enforcement proceedings and until such proceedings are formally and definitively concluded.

Please feel free to contact our Privacy Officer on the contact details provided above for further information regarding our retention periods.

 Your Rights

In relation to your personal data, you have the right to:

– access to your personal data;

– rectification of your personal data;

– request erasure of your personal data.

– object to processing;

– restrict processing;

– data portability;

Request access to your personal data:

As our customer and as a data subject, you have a right to request, free of charge, a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

Request the correction or rectification of your personal data:

If any personal information we hold about you is incomplete or incorrect, you have a right to have this corrected. In order to allow your request, you may need to provide us with evidence and documentation (such as your ID, passport or proof of address);

Request the erasure of your personal data;

You shall have the right to request the erasure of your personal data where we no longer have a legitimate reason to continue using or retaining it. We will not be able to fulfil your request until you are still our customer and for a further period of five years thereafter as well as if we are under a legal obligation to retain this information, or where the retention of your information is necessary for us to defend ourselves in a legal dispute or to execute a legal title against you.

Object to the processing of your data

If we rely on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to process your data and you feel that our processing of your data in such a manner impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. However, in some cases, we may be able to demonstrate that we have a compelling legitimate ground to process your data which may override your rights and freedoms. You may submit your objections to processing of your personal data on the grounds of the above-mentioned legitimate company interests by contacting our Privacy Officer;

Request the restriction of the processing of your personal data

You may ask us to temporarily suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios: (a) where you want us to establish the accuracy of the data, (b) where you believe our use of the data is unlawful but you do not wish for us to delete it, (c) where you need us to retain your data even when we no longer need it in order for you to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or (d) where you have objected the use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;

Request the transfer of your personal data (aka data portability)

This means you may ask us to transfer certain data we process about you to you or others. This right only applies to data which you provided us with and consented us to use and which were necessary for us both to honour our mutual contractual obligations so long as such data is processed by us in an automated manner. This would include your contact details, billing and usage data.

Should you consider at any time that we are handling your personal information in a manner that leaves you dissatisfied or at a disadvantage, you may at any time file a complaint with Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner by email on idpc.info@idpc.org.mt, by ordinary mail at Information and Data Protection Commissioner, Level 2, Airways House, High Street, Sliema, SLM 1549, Malta or by calling (+356) 2328 7100.

You shall also have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes by withdrawing your consent. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes in your account settings. You can also withdraw your consent at any time, simply by unchecking the same boxes or by contacting our Privacy Officer by email on Privacyofficer@christmas-lotto.com.

It may take up to 48 hours for us to ensure that the changes are implemented into our systems and those of our marketing partners (and therefore you might receive some emails or information from us within those 48 hours for this reason); withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out by us up until the time you withdrew your consent.

We hope to be able to resolve any difficulties or complaints you may have by bringing them to the attention of any of our customer support services or by forwarding whatever query, request or issue you may have to our Privacy Officer on the address indicated above.

Except for your right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in order for CHRISTMAS-LOTTO to be able to action any of your requests made in accordance with your rights described above, we may need to request specific information about you to help us verify your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that we are certain that the person to whom we disclose your personal data is really you.

We will do our utmost to respond to all legitimate requests within one-month from when we receive a request. If your request is particularly complex, or if you have made multiple requests in a certain time period, it may take us a little longer. In such a case, we will notify you of this extension.
