1. Introduction

Welcome to le-zeus-slotgame.co.uk (the "Website"), the official promotional website for the "Le Zeus" slot game developed by Hacksaw Gaming. This Privacy Policy outlines how Le Zeus Digital Entertainment Ltd.

We understand that trust is paramount, especially in the online gambling sector. While this Website primarily provides information and potentially a demo version of the "Le Zeus" game, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection, transparency, and responsible conduct. We recognise that Google classifies gambling-related content as "Your Money Your Life" (YMYL), requiring exceptional trustworthiness and expertise. This policy is designed to meet regulatory requirements, foster user trust, and demonstrate our commitment to your privacy.

This Privacy Policy is compliant with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Who We Are (Data Controller)

Le Zeus Digital Entertainment Ltd. acts as the Data Controller for the personal data processed through this Website. This means we are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is used.

3. The Data We Collect About You

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:

Please note: This Website is for informational and promotional purposes only. We do not process personal data related to your actual gambling transactions, financial details, or Know Your Customer (KYC) information. Such data would be handled by licensed online casino operators if you choose to play the "Le Zeus" game with real money on their platforms, under their respective privacy policies and regulatory obligations (e.g., UKGC, MGA).

4. How We Collect Your Data

We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including:

• Third Parties or Publicly Available Sources: We may receive personal data about you from various third parties, such as analytics providers (e.g., Yandex.Metrica) and affiliate networks (for tracking referrals, as detailed below).

5. How We Use Your Personal Data and Our Lawful Basis

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• To operate and improve our Website: We use Usage and Technical Data to ensure our Website functions correctly, to troubleshoot, to analyse user engagement with "Le Zeus" game content (e.g., popularity of "Bolt & Run" vs. "Myth-Taken Identity" bonus features), and to enhance the overall user experience. Lawful Basis: Legitimate Interests
• To deliver relevant Website content and advertisements to you: We may use your Usage and Technical Data to understand which content about "Le Zeus" (e.g., information on "RTP variations," "volatility," or "max win") is most engaging. Lawful Basis: Legitimate Interests
• To administer and protect our business and this Website: Including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting, and hosting of data. Lawful Basis: Legitimate Interests and Legal Obligation
• To make suggestions and recommendations to you about other games or services: If you have opted in to receive marketing communications. Lawful Basis: Consent
• To comply with legal obligations: Where we are required to process your data to meet regulatory or legal duties. Lawful Basis: Legal Obligation

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We may need to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes outlined in Section 5:

• Internal Third Parties: Other companies within our group acting as processors or joint controllers.
• External Third Parties: Service providers acting as processors who provide IT and system administration services, hosting, and analytics services (e.g., Yandex.Metrica).
• Professional advisors: Including lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance, and accounting services.
• Regulators and other authorities: Who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.
• Affiliate Partners: As described in Section 12, data (typically cookie identifiers) may be shared with affiliate networks to track referrals and attribute commissions. No directly identifiable personal data is shared for this purpose.
• Our Game Provider (Hacksaw Gaming): While we do not share your direct personal data, we may share aggregated and anonymised Usage Data related to the "Le Zeus" demo play or information engagement with the game developer to help them improve their products and understand market trends.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our external third parties, particularly our analytics provider, Yandex.Metrica, are based outside the UK, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

Specific Disclosure: Yandex.Metrica

We use Yandex.Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC, for collecting anonymous usage statistics. This service helps us understand how users interact with our Website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve the user experience for "Le Zeus" content.

• Data Transferred: Yandex.Metrica collects Technical Data (like IP address, browser type, device information) and Usage Data (like pages visited, session duration, clicks). This data is primarily pseudonymised or anonymised. For instance, IP addresses are often truncated or hashed before being processed.
• Location of Processing: Yandex LLC is a Russian company, and the data collected by Yandex.Metrica is transferred to and processed on servers located in the Russian Federation.
• Lack of Adequacy Decision: The UK has not issued an "adequacy decision" for data transfers to Russia, meaning it does not consider Russia to provide an equivalent level of data protection to the UK.
• Our Safeguards: We configure Yandex.Metrica to minimise the collection of directly identifiable personal data. We primarily use this service for aggregated, statistical analysis, rather than individual user tracking. We rely on contractual clauses where possible, and the anonymisation/pseudonymisation of data as a safeguard. You have the right to opt-out of Yandex.Metrica tracking, as detailed in our Cookies Policy (Section 11).

By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree to the transfer of your data to Russia via Yandex.Metrica under these conditions. We continuously review our data processing practices to ensure compliance and the highest possible level of protection for your data.

8. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. This includes:

• Encryption: Our Website uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure data transmission between your browser and our servers.
• Access Controls: Limiting access to your personal data to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
• Regular Audits: We regularly review our security practices to protect against new threats.

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

9. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

10. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to:

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected].

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

11. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyse Website usage, and for marketing purposes. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Website to function correctly.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Website, including tracking engagement with "Le Zeus" game features, demo play sessions, and information on RTP and volatility. As mentioned, this includes cookies from Yandex.Metrica.
• Affiliate/Marketing Cookies: May be used to track referrals from our Website to partner casino sites, enabling us to earn a commission if you register or play through our links.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

12. Commercial Transparency (Affiliate Disclosure)

This Website participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on links to online casinos or other gambling operators from our Website, and subsequently make a deposit or play, we may receive a commission from that third party.

• Transparency: We are committed to transparency in our commercial relationships. This does not affect the price you pay or the fairness of the games you play.
• Independence: Our reviews and information about the "Le Zeus" slot game are based on objective analysis and are not influenced by affiliate relationships.
• Regulatory Compliance: We adhere to the advertising standards set by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK, ensuring that all commercial relationships are disclosed where appropriate.

This revenue model helps us maintain and improve this Website, providing you with high-quality information about the "Le Zeus" slot game.
