When you register and play Hand Of Luck, we collect various types of information necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Personal information collected includes your name, date of birth, email address, postal address, telephone number, and payment details. We also gather technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and gameplay statistics. Transaction records are maintained, including deposits, withdrawals, betting history, and account balance information. Additionally, we collect verification documents required for identity confirmation and age verification purposes, such as passport or driving licence copies and proof of address documents.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies are employed to enhance your gaming experience, remember your preferences, and analyse site usage patterns. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.
How We Use Your Information
The information collected serves multiple legitimate purposes essential to operating Hand Of Luck casino services. We use your personal data to create and manage your gaming account, process deposits and withdrawals, and facilitate gameplay. Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements is paramount, including age verification to prevent underage gambling, anti-money laundering checks, and responsible gambling monitoring.
Your information enables us to communicate important account updates, respond to enquiries and support requests, and provide information about game features and updates. We analyse gameplay data to improve game performance, detect and prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure fair gaming practices. Security measures are implemented to protect your account from unauthorised access and maintain the integrity of our gaming platform.

Data Sharing and Third Parties
Hand Of Luck does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with carefully selected service providers and partners who assist in delivering our services. Payment processors handle financial transactions securely, whilst identity verification services conduct necessary compliance checks. Gaming platform providers maintain the technical infrastructure, and customer support services assist with player enquiries.
Regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies may receive information when legally required or to comply with licensing obligations. Professional advisers, including legal and financial consultants, may access data when necessary for business operations. In the event of a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new entity, with advance notice provided.
All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to maintain appropriate security measures and use your information solely for specified purposes. Data transfers outside the United Kingdom are conducted using appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection law, you possess several rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy in a commonly used electronic format. If any information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request corrections or updates at any time.
You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected or if you withdraw consent where applicable. The right to restrict processing applies in specific situations, including when you contest data accuracy or object to processing. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for marketing purposes.
Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and carried out by automated means, you have the right to data portability, allowing you to receive your data in a structured format for transmission to another controller. If you believe we have processed your information unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details provided below. We will respond to requests within one month, though this period may be extended by two additional months for complex requests.
Data Security and Retention
Hand Of Luck employs robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Technical safeguards include industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, secure server infrastructure with regular security updates, firewall protection and intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
Organisational measures include restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, staff training on data protection and security protocols, confidentiality agreements with employees and contractors, and incident response procedures for data breaches.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and comply with legal obligations. Account information and transaction records are retained for seven years following account closure to meet anti-money laundering and tax requirements. Identity verification documents are kept for the duration of your account relationship and the minimum period required by gambling regulations. Marketing consent records are maintained until you withdraw consent or your account becomes inactive.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised to prevent identification. Backup copies are retained for disaster recovery purposes but are subject to the same security measures and retention schedules.
For questions about this casino privacy policy or to exercise your privacy rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at the email address provided on our website or by post to our registered office address. We review and update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements, with the current version always available on the Hand Of Luck website.
