At Newton Casino ("we", "us", "our", or "Our Casino"), we are steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring the absolute security of your personal information. This Official Privacy Policy outlines our uncompromising practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of your data when you visit and play on newtoncasino.org. As a premier Canadian gaming destination, we adhere strictly to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable international data protection regulations.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with a seamless, secure, and fully compliant gaming experience, we collect the following categories of information:
- Identity Data: First name, last name, date of birth, and gender.
- Contact Data: Residential address, email address, and telephone numbers.
- Financial Data: Bank account details, payment card information, and transaction history. Note that sensitive payment details are processed via secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party gateways and are never fully stored on our local servers.

- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, including your betting logs, gaming history, and session durations.
2. How We Use Your Information
We only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your data in the following circumstances:
- Account Management: To securely register you as a new player, manage your account, and provide priority customer support.
- Processing Transactions: To process your deposits and withdrawals efficiently and securely.
- Regulatory Compliance: To fulfill our strict legal obligations, including age verification, fraud prevention, and responsible gambling monitoring.
- Improving Our Services: To analyze player behaviour and technical data to continuously enhance our gaming portfolio, website functionality, and overall user experience.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your data with trusted third parties strictly under the following controlled conditions:
- Service Providers: Payment processors, elite game developers, identity verification agencies, and customer support platforms who require limited access to perform their specific operational duties.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: Gaming commissions, law enforcement agencies, or financial regulators when required by law to prevent or investigate fraud, money laundering, or other illicit activities.
- Corporate Restructuring: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Newton Casino assets, your data may be securely transferred to the new entity under the same strict privacy conditions.
4. Data Security
Our Casino employs state-of-the-art security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed, altered, or disclosed in an unauthorized way. We utilize advanced 256-bit SSL encryption protocols, enterprise-grade firewalls, and strict access controls. Access to your personal data is restricted to employees, agents, and contractors who have a legitimate business need to know and are bound by stringent legal confidentiality agreements.
5. Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the specific purposes we collected it for. By law, we are required to keep basic information about our patrons (including Contact, Identity, Financial, and Transaction Data) for a minimum of five to seven years after they cease being active customers for tax, AML, and regulatory auditing purposes. Once this mandatory period expires, your data will be permanently deleted or securely anonymized.
6. Your Legal Rights
Under Canadian privacy laws, you possess significant rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Access: You may request a formal copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Correction: You may request that we rapidly correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold.
- Right to Erasure: You may ask us to delete your data where there is no overriding legal or regulatory reason for us to continue processing it.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on consent to process your data (e.g., marketing), you may withdraw it at any time via your secure account dashboard.
