Privacy Policy

This page summarises how the Ice Casino privacy policy describes the collection, use, sharing, retention and protection of personal data. The policy applies to icecasino.com, the casino’s branded apps and related services, and to every player and visitor who uses them, including players in Ireland. Processing relies on consent, contract or legitimate interests, and questions about it go to [email protected].

Privacy and Data Protection

Responsibility and contact

  • The Ice Casino T&C (clause 20) commit the operator to handle personal information strictly in line with the privacy policy.
  • Questions about the policy or about how data is processed go to [email protected].

What personal data is collected

  • Account information given at registration, whether directly on the site or through an affiliate’s landing page: full name, e-mail address, home address, date of birth, phone number and payment details such as a card number.
  • Verification data requested under the KYC policy: identity documents, payment card photos, proof of address and, where needed, source-of-funds documents.
  • Voluntary information: messages sent by e-mail or live chat, feedback, suggestions and complaints.
  • Device information: IP address, geolocation and unique device identifiers.
  • Non-personal information: pages viewed, clicks, browser type, operating system, language, access times and the referring website. Once combined with personal data, it is treated as personal data.

Why data is collected

  • To run the account and services, process deposits and withdrawals and answer support requests.
  • To verify identity and age, screen against sanctions lists and prevent fraud and money laundering.
  • To meet responsible gaming obligations and other compliance duties.
  • For marketing, only where the player has agreed to it.

Technical and organisational measures

  • Regular monitoring for vulnerabilities and attacks, annual penetration testing, staff training by security professionals and proportionate network protection.
  • Access limited to personnel with a legitimate business need.

Retention

  • Personal data is kept while the account is active, or as long as law, legitimate interest or operational need requires; for risk management and compliance it can be stored for up to five years.
  • Data is depersonalised five years after account closure or inactivity; full deletion is not possible where records are needed for due diligence, fraud prevention and responsible gaming.
  • Verification and transaction records can be kept for five years under the AML policy.

Legal bases and rights

  • Legal bases named in the policy: consent, contract and legitimate interests.
  • Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and processing based on legitimate interests can be objected to.
  • Players can choose which communications they receive or opt out entirely, and can ask to review, correct, update or remove their data.
  • The policy does not name a data-protection supervisory authority. In Ireland, the national data-protection regulator is the Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).

Use of Collected Information

Account and service delivery

  • Create and manage accounts, verify identity and age, provide the casino games and the sportsbook, and answer support queries.

Payments and transactions

  • Process deposits and withdrawals through payment providers, which receive first and last name, date of birth, e-mail, address, postcode, city, country, phone number and alias.

Risk, fraud and security

  • Protect players and the operator from security threats and fraud, and detect money laundering, bonus abuse and duplicate accounts.

Responsible gambling

  • Apply deposit and loss limits and self-exclusion, and keep the records these obligations require.

Service improvement and analytics

  • Use non-personal usage and technical data to improve how the services work.

Marketing and communications

  • An e-mail provider receives only the e-mail address and user ID; an SMS provider receives only the phone number, used for marketing, verification at sign-up and security features.
  • Direct mail, SMS, e-mail and phone marketing need the player’s explicit consent.

Legal and regulatory compliance

  • Disclose data where the law or a legal process requires it, or to investigate illegal activity.

Automated checks and profiling

  • Under the AML policy, automated risk models flag unusual transactions for manual review by the compliance team.
  • Segmentation and personalised offers count as legitimate interests; closing the account ends further profiling within 72 hours, and [email protected] answers questions on processing.

Access to Information

How to access or update data

  • Players can contact the operator at any time to review, correct, update or remove the personal data it holds, giving clear details of the change.
  • Registration details must stay accurate and be updated promptly.

Correction and deletion

  • Some data must be kept for record-keeping, and residual copies may remain in archives; corrections are passed on to third parties.
  • Closing the account, possible at any time through live support, removes the player from communication channels within 72 hours.

Identity verification

  • Requests sent to the privacy address from the registered e-mail are easier to match to the right account.

Security checks and payments

  • Accepting the T&C authorises identity checks, and withdrawals can be restricted while they run. Payment data is processed by payment providers and by T&C Whitebox CY Limited.

Protection of Children’s Privacy

  • Only players aged 18 or over, or the higher local legal age, may register; minors are not allowed to take part (T&C 32.1).
  • Proof of age can be requested at any stage. An account found to belong to a minor is closed and its winnings are forfeited (6.5).
  • The T&C encourage parents to use filtering software such as CyberPatrol, GamBlock or Net Nanny, in line with the responsible gaming advice; a parent who suspects a child has an account can tell support.

International Data Transfers

The privacy policy has no separate section on international transfers: it names neither the countries where data is stored nor safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

  • The operator, Whitebox B.V., is registered in Curaçao; payments are managed by T&C Whitebox CY Limited in Cyprus.
  • Service providers for maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development may use the data only for those tasks; game studios and support platforms also receive data.
  • The e-mail and SMS providers are described as compliant with PIPEDA, FIPPA and the GDPR. Details are available from [email protected].

Use of Cookies

Definition

  • A cookie is a small text file placed on a device when it visits the website, which lets the site recognise the visitor on a return visit.

Purpose

  • Under T&C clause 21, Ice Casino uses cookies to provide certain functions of the website.
  • The privacy policy also describes collecting usage data (pages viewed, clicks) and technical data (browser, operating system, language) to improve the services.

Retention

  • Neither the T&C nor the privacy policy gives cookie lifetimes or a list of individual cookies.

Management

  • Cookies can be deleted or blocked in the browser settings; the T&C point to aboutcookies.org for instructions.
  • Deleting or disabling cookies may block some areas or features.

Legal basis

  • The official texts do not assign a legal basis to cookies; the general bases in the privacy policy are consent, contract and legitimate interests.

Acceptance of Privacy Policy

  • Using the services means accepting the policy; opening an account binds the player to the T&C, which include it.
  • Changes apply from publication; for material changes, the operator takes reasonable steps to warn players in advance.
  • A player who disagrees can close the account via live support.

Third-Party Privacy Practices

Sharing of personal data

  • Profiles are never published, and inside the company only authorised staff who need the data can see it.
  • E-mail provider: e-mail address and user ID. SMS provider: phone number.
  • Payment providers: the identity and contact details needed to process payments.
  • Game providers behind the slots and live casino titles, and player support providers, who see the messages sent to support.
  • Service providers for maintenance, analysis, audit, fraud detection, marketing and development, including sports governing bodies and financial institutions.

Legal disclosures and change of control

  • Data can be disclosed when the law or a legal process requires it, or to investigate illegal activity, enforce agreements and defend claims; where allowed, the operator tries to notify the player.
  • In a sale, merger or other change of control, the acquirer can keep using the data under the same policy.

Responsibility

  • Service providers must use the data only for their tasks, and content a player shares on social networks stays under the player’s control there.
