In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities in accordance with our legal obligations.

7. Data Retention

sga898 retains your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our standard retention periods are as follows:

• Closed Accounts: Following account closure, we retain your data for a minimum of five (5) years to comply with AML regulations and gaming licence obligations.
• KYC Documents: Identity verification documents are retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of collection or the date of account closure, whichever is later.
• Marketing Data: Where you have withdrawn consent to marketing, we retain a record of that withdrawal to ensure we do not contact you again. The underlying marketing profile data is deleted within 30 days of opt-out.
• Support Records: Customer support correspondence is retained for up to three (3) years to assist with dispute resolution and quality assurance.

Once the applicable retention period expires, sga898 will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in a manner that makes re-identification impossible.
