Users are encouraged to read this document carefully to understand their rights and how their information is managed.

- Request the deletion of personal data, subject to legal retention obligations;
- Withdraw consent for certain types of data processing;
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if they believe their rights have been violated.
All personal data is collected, processed, and stored in compliance with Canadian federal and provincial privacy requirements.
Use of Collected Information
Personal data collected by Spinlander is used for clearly defined, lawful purposes. Information is never processed in a manner inconsistent with the purpose for which it was originally collected.
Purposes of Data Processing
Collected personal information is used for the following purposes:
- Account services: Creating, verifying, and managing user accounts, including identity authentication and age verification;
- Transaction processing: Facilitating deposits, withdrawals, and financial record-keeping in connection with user activity;
- Service improvement: Analysing platform performance and user behaviour to enhance functionality and the overall experience;
- Marketing communications: Sending promotional updates, offers, and relevant notifications to users who have provided consent, with the option to opt out at any time;
- Analytics: Generating aggregated statistical reports to support operational and product decisions;
- Regulatory compliance: Fulfilling obligations under anti-money laundering (AML) legislation, responsible gambling requirements, and licensing conditions applicable in Canada.
Lawful Basis for Processing
All data processing is conducted on a lawful basis, which may include:
- Explicit user consent provided at the point of data collection;
- The necessity of processing to perform contractual obligations to the user;
- Legal obligations that require retention or disclosure of certain data;
- Legitimate operational interests, where such interests do not override user rights.
Personal data is not sold to third parties for commercial gain. Processing activities are documented and reviewed to maintain transparency and accountability.
Access to Information
Users of the Spinlander platform retain rights over their personal data at all stages of the relationship. These rights are exercisable through the methods described below.
Accessing Personal Data
Users may request a copy of the personal data held about them by contacting the Spinlander support team through the official communication channels listed on the website. Requests are processed within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation.
Correcting Personal Data
If a user believes that personal information on file is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, a correction request may be submitted. Spinlander will review the request and update the records accordingly, or provide a written explanation if the correction cannot be made.
Deleting Personal Data
Users may request the deletion of their personal data. Such requests are subject to legal and regulatory retention obligations. Where data must be retained for compliance purposes, the user will be informed of the applicable retention period.
Consent to Security and Payment Processing
By using the Spinlander platform, users acknowledge and consent to the following:
- Identity and security verification checks carried out by Spinlander or authorised third-party verification providers;
- The processing of payment data by licensed payment service providers engaged to facilitate deposits and withdrawals;
- The transfer of relevant data to financial institutions as required to complete transactions or investigate disputes.
This consent is a condition of accessing certain platform features and cannot be withdrawn without affecting the user's ability to transact on the platform.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
The Spinlander platform is intended exclusively for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Access to online gambling services by minors is prohibited under Canadian law and the terms of the platform’s operating licence.
Age Verification
Spinlander cannot independently confirm the age of a user without the submission of valid government-issued identification documents. Users are required to provide accurate information during registration and to complete identity verification as requested. Accounts may be suspended pending verification of age.
Handling of Data Belonging to Minors
In the event that a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that a minor has created an account or submitted personal data to the platform without authorisation, they are encouraged to contact Spinlander immediately. Upon receiving a verified request from a parent or legal guardian, all personal data associated with the minor’s account will be deleted from active records as promptly as technically and legally permissible.
Spinlander does not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
International Data Transfers
As an online platform operating with a global network of licensed service providers, Spinlander may process or transfer personal data to jurisdictions outside of Canada. Such transfers occur when third-party partners, including payment processors, identity verification providers, and technology vendors, operate from locations in other countries.
Basis for International Transfers
By creating an account and using the services on the platform, users consent to the transfer and processing of their personal data outside Canada where such transfers are necessary to deliver the requested services.
Data Protection During Transfers
All third-party partners engaged by Spinlander are required to maintain appropriate confidentiality and data protection standards. Contractual obligations are in place to ensure that personal data transferred internationally receives a level of protection consistent with Canadian privacy standards.
Spinlander does not transfer personal data to countries or organisations that cannot demonstrate adequate protections for the information received.
