Data Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
- Service Providers: Third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, customer service, marketing agencies, and data analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was shared.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorised access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include encryption, firewalls, secure server infrastructure, and access controls. All sensitive data transmitted to and from Dudespin is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS technology. We regularly review and update our security practices to ensure the highest level of protection. While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

- Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions (e.g., if you contest the accuracy of the data).
- Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your personal data to another organisation, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Cookies and Tracking
Dudespin uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyse site usage, and for marketing purposes. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
We use different types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of our website and to enable you to use its features (e.g., logging in, making transactions).
- Analytical/Performance Cookies: Allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works.
- Functionality Cookies: Used to recognise you when you return to our website, enabling us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (e.g., your choice of language or region).
- Targeting Cookies: Record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, disabling cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Dudespin website and its services.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typically, this means we will keep your data for the duration of your active account with Dudespin and for a period thereafter, as mandated by applicable laws and regulations (e.g., anti-money laundering laws often require retaining data for five to seven years after the business relationship ends). In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country of residence, including to countries that may not have the same level of data protection laws as your jurisdiction. When we transfer your data internationally, we take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are protected, in compliance with applicable data protection laws. This may include implementing appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or ensuring the recipient country is deemed to provide an adequate level of protection.
Children's Privacy
Dudespin's services are not intended for individuals under the legal gambling age in their respective jurisdiction, which is typically 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes we make will be posted on this page, and the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy will be revised. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of Dudespin services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
