3 How We Use Your Data

melbet online uses the personal data we collect for specific, legitimate purposes. We do not use your data in ways that are incompatible with the purposes for which it was originally collected.

Account Management

We use your personal data to create and manage your melbet online account, verify your identity, process your deposits and withdrawals, and provide customer support. Without this data, we cannot operate your account or deliver the services you have signed up for.

Security and Fraud Prevention

melbet online uses technical and identity data to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, money laundering, and other illegal behaviour on the platform. This includes monitoring login patterns, transaction behaviour, and device fingerprinting to identify suspicious activity before it causes harm.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

As a licensed gaming operator, melbet online is required to collect and retain certain personal data to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, and other applicable laws. We may be required to share this data with regulatory authorities or law enforcement when legally obligated to do so.

Platform Improvement

We analyse aggregated usage data to understand how players interact with the melbet online platform, identify areas for improvement, and develop new features. This analysis is conducted on anonymised or aggregated data wherever possible and does not involve profiling individual players for commercial purposes.

Responsible Gaming

melbet online uses your gaming activity data to monitor for signs of problem gambling behaviour. This allows us to proactively offer responsible gaming tools, apply account restrictions where necessary, and fulfil our duty of care to all players on the platform.

Marketing Communications

If you have opted in to receive marketing communications, melbet online will use your contact details and preferences to send you relevant promotions, bonus offers, and platform updates. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

melbet online processes your personal data on the following legal bases, depending on the specific purpose of the processing:

• Contractual Necessity: Processing required to fulfil our obligations under the Terms and Conditions you agreed to when registering your account — including operating your account, processing transactions, and providing customer support.
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including AML, KYC, and tax reporting requirements.
• Legitimate Interests: Processing carried out for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention, platform security, and improving our services — provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, such as sending marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5 Data Sharing

melbet online does not sell your personal data to third parties. We share your information only in the limited circumstances described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

Service Providers

We work with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist us in operating the melbet online platform. These include payment processors, identity verification providers, fraud detection services, and customer support tools. All service providers are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

Legal and Regulatory Authorities

melbet online may disclose your personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or other authorities when required to do so by applicable law, court order, or regulatory requirement. We will notify you of such disclosures where we are legally permitted to do so.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of the melbet online business, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such transfer and ensure that your data continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

6 Data Retention

melbet online retains your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a period after account closure as required by applicable law and our internal data retention policies. The specific retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention Periods

• Account and identity data: Retained for the duration of your account and for a minimum of five years after account closure, as required by AML regulations.
• Transaction records: Retained for a minimum of five years from the date of the transaction.
• Customer support communications: Retained for up to three years from the date of the last interaction.
• Marketing preferences: Retained until you withdraw your consent or request deletion.
• Technical and usage data: Typically retained for up to 24 months in identifiable form, after which it may be anonymised and retained for analytical purposes.

When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and no legal retention obligation applies, melbet online will securely delete or anonymise it.
