7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

7.1. Where Your Data Is Processed

Gamblers’ data is processed within the EU and EEA, as the website servers are located in Germany and the United Kingdom. Matomo analytics are processed through self-hosted servers within the EU, and our hosting provider operates data centres in the EU.

7.2. Transfers Outside EU and EEA

When players use our services, some data may be transferred outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. To be specific, Google Analytics data will be transferred to Google LLC, which is located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, since Google processes analytics data on US servers. This transfer is supported through several safeguards. Since Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, we have implemented Standard Contractual Clauses, and we use additional security measures, including TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, at rest, and strict access controls. It also includes third-party security audits and legal mechanisms to challenge illegal requests for access. That’s why CasinoAlpha requests players’ explicit consent before Google Analytics is activated, and they can withdraw their consent at any moment through our Cookie Settings.

Gamblers also have the right to use Google’s opt-out add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or to choose our Matomo-only option in order to avoid international data transfers altogether.

One should note that if they interact with casino brands featured on our site, additional data transfers to different jurisdictions can take place, since one enters into a direct relationship with those brands and their specific privacy policies can apply.
