Whenever we share personal data with third parties acting as our processors, we ensure appropriate contractual protections are in place, including obligations of confidentiality, security, and data protection consistent with the UK GDPR.
International Transfers
Because Stars Interactive Limited is part of a global group and uses international service providers, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA), including Malta and other jurisdictions where group entities or key suppliers are located.
- Intra-group transfers: your data may be transferred within The Stars Group / Flutter group, for example to entities established in Malta, other EEA countries, or other jurisdictions, for operational, compliance, or support purposes.
- Service provider locations: some of our processors may operate from countries outside the UK/EEA, including (for example) jurisdictions in North America or other regions, depending on the specific service provided.
Where we transfer personal data outside the UK/EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection, such as:
- Adequacy regulations/decisions: transfers to countries recognised by the UK government or European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.
- Standard contractual clauses and equivalent mechanisms: the use of UK-approved International Data Transfer Agreements or Addenda, and/or EU Standard Contractual Clauses, supplemented where necessary with additional safeguards.
- Data Privacy Framework and UK extension (where applicable): for transfers to certified recipients in the United States, reliance on recognised data transfer frameworks or "data bridge" arrangements, where legally valid.
You may contact us for further information about the specific safeguards applied to your data or to obtain a copy of relevant transfer mechanisms, subject to redaction for confidentiality.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the context of processing.
| Category of data | Typical retention period |
|---|---|
| Account and identity data (e.g. name, contact details, date of birth) | For the life of your account and generally up to 5-7 years after account closure, to comply with legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations. |
| KYC/AML verification documents | Typically 5-7 years after the end of the business relationship or the date of the last transaction, in line with AML regulations and regulatory guidance. |
| Gaming and betting history, transaction records | Generally 7 years from the relevant transaction or account closure date, for regulatory, tax, and accounting purposes, and to defend legal claims. |
| Customer support and complaint records | For the duration of the complaint or query and, thereafter, generally 5-7 years, depending on the nature of the case and legal limitation periods. |
| Marketing and preference data | Until you opt out or withdraw consent, or for up to 3 years after your last active interaction with our services, whichever occurs sooner, unless a longer period is required for legal reasons. |
| Technical logs and security data | Typically 1-3 years from creation, unless a longer period is required for investigating security incidents or complying with legal obligations. |
| Cookies and tracking data | From the duration of the session up to 2 years from placement on your device, depending on the cookie type and your choices. |
When retention periods expire, we will securely delete or anonymise personal data, unless further retention is required by law or is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Where we anonymise data, it will no longer constitute personal data and may be used for analytics and statistical purposes without further notice to you.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. The availability and exact scope of these rights can depend on your location and the specific circumstances of processing.
Rights under UK GDPR and, where relevant, EU GDPR
- Right of access: to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of that data and certain related information.
- Right to rectification: to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data that we hold about you.
- Right to erasure: to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies. This right may be limited where we must retain data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations (such as AML or UKGC requirements).
- Right to restriction of processing: to request that we restrict processing of your data in certain cases, such as while we verify its accuracy or assess an objection you have raised.
- Right to object: to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interests, and to object at any time to processing for direct marketing (including profiling for marketing).
- Right to data portability: to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to request that we transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible and where the processing is based on consent or performance of a contract and carried out by automated means.
- Rights regarding automated decision-making: to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except where such processing is lawful and subject to appropriate safeguards.
- Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Additional rights for individuals in Mexico
If you are located in Mexico and interact with our services, you may, in addition to the rights above, benefit from rights under applicable Mexican data protection law, such as the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and its regulations. These include so-called ARCO rights:
- Access: to obtain confirmation of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Cancellation: to request the deletion of data in certain circumstances.
- Opposition: to oppose certain processing activities in justified cases.
Where such rights are mandatory under Mexican law and applicable to our processing, we will handle them in line with that legislation, in addition to our obligations under UK GDPR and other regimes.
How to exercise your rights
- Submit your request: Contact us using the privacy or support channels made available on roads.bet, clearly stating that your request relates to data protection and specifying which right you wish to exercise. To protect your data, we may ask for additional information to verify your identity.
- Our response time: We aim to respond without undue delay and in any event within one month (30 days) of receiving a valid request. In complex cases or where we receive numerous requests, we may extend this period by up to two further months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Cost: Exercising your rights is generally free of charge. Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example, repetitive), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, as permitted by law.
- Limitations: Certain rights may be limited, for example where fulfilling your request would adversely affect others' rights, conflict with legal or regulatory requirements (including UKGC and AML obligations), or prejudice ongoing investigations or legal proceedings.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, as described in the "Complaints & Contacts" section.

Data Security
We are committed to protecting your personal data and to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information processed in connection with the Bet Road services on roads.bet. We employ a combination of technical and organisational measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks.
Technical security measures
- Encryption in transit and at rest: data transmitted between your browser and our systems is protected using modern encryption protocols (such as TLS 1.2 or higher). Where appropriate, personal data is also encrypted or otherwise pseudonymised when stored.
- Access controls and authentication: access to systems containing personal data is restricted to authorised personnel and systems on a need-to-know basis, protected by strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication where appropriate.
- Network and application security: we use firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-malware tools, security monitoring solutions, and secure development practices to help protect our infrastructure and applications.
- Backup, resilience, and recovery: we maintain backup and continuity arrangements designed to ensure that critical services can be restored within reasonable timeframes in the event of an incident.
Organisational and procedural measures
- Policies and training: we maintain internal policies and procedures on information security, data protection, and acceptable use, and we provide regular training and awareness programmes to staff with access to personal data.
- Access governance: role-based access controls and periodic access reviews ensure that staff and contractors have only the access necessary for their duties.
- Vendor management: we assess and monitor the security posture of key suppliers and require appropriate contractual commitments regarding security and data protection.
- Security testing and audits: we undertake security testing, vulnerability management, and internal or external audits to identify and address security risks. Our practices are aligned with recognised industry standards (such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 principles), although this does not necessarily mean that every entity involved is formally certified.
Incident response
- Detection and response: we operate processes to detect, investigate, and respond to suspected security incidents, including mechanisms for escalation and remediation.
- Breach notification: where a personal data breach occurs, we will assess the risk to individuals and, where required by law, notify the relevant supervisory authority (such as the ICO) and affected individuals without undue delay, in accordance with applicable legal timeframes.
While we take appropriate measures to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You also play an important role in security by keeping your login credentials confidential, using strong and unique passwords, enabling any additional security features we offer, and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorised use of your account.

Your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies you may have. You may also, where relevant, pursue gambling-related disputes through our ADR provider, IBAS, as described in our Terms and Conditions, which may involve limited sharing of data necessary to resolve the dispute.
