6. International data transfers

We may transfer your personal data to recipients in countries located outside your home country. When we transfer your personal data cross border, we ensure compliance with applicable laws and privacy practices outlined in this Notice and our policies.

In cases where the data protection laws in recipient countries differ from those in your home country, we take all necessary steps to ensure your personal data receives adequate protection and safeguards to meet the requirements of applicable laws.

If we transfer your personal data cross border, we rely on the following safeguards:

Adequacy Decisions - adopted by European Commission based on Article 45 of General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) 2016/679 of European Union. For more information, and to access the full list of countries deemed adequate to date, please visit: EU adequate countries;

UK Secretary of State - based on Article 45 of the UK GDPR and Section 17A of the Data Protection Act 2018. For more information, and to access the full list of countries deemed adequate to date, please visit: ICO adequate countries; or

The European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office International Data Transfer Addendum (“IDTA”), as applicable, supplemented by additional security measures as recommended by the European Data Protection Board. The European Commission’s and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office have determined that the SCCs and IDTA may provide sufficient safeguards to protect personal data transferred outside the EEA and the UK. For more information, please visit: standard contractual clauses.

We also perform transfer impact assessments and regularly monitor the circumstances surrounding such transfers to ensure that these maintain, in practice, a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to those guaranteed by the UK and EEA data protection laws.

10. U.S. Privacy laws

Certain U.S. States (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Virginia, and Utah) have enacted privacy laws specific to data subjects in those states. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides additional privacy protections for California data subjects, including: a) the right to see what data we have about you, your computer or device (i.e., the right to know), b) the right to delete the data we have about you, your computer or device (i.e., the right to delete), c) the right to correct data we have about you, your computer or device, d) the right to port data about you, your computer or device to a different provider, and e) the right to opt-out of the sale of data about you, your computer or device to certain third parties (i.e., the right to opt-out from sales of your information). We do not discriminate against you if you exercise any of the above rights.

If you make a privacy rights request as set out in this Notice, we will confirm your request within 10 business days and make a good faith attempt to fulfill your request within 45 days unless applicable law requires us to do otherwise.

The number of CCPA requests to know that WINR Data received, compiled with whole or part and denied in 2023: 0, 0 and 0.

The number of CCPA requests to delete that WINR Data received, compiled with whole or part and denied in 2023: 0, 0 and 0.

The number of CCPA requests to opt-out that WINR Data received (not including requests made via WINR Data’s cookie based opt-out mechanism) compiled with whole or part and denied in 2023: 0, 0 and 0.

The median number of days within which WINR Data substantively responded to requests to know, requests to delete and requests to opt-out in 2023: 0, 0 and 0.

Applicable U.S. state privacy law defines personal information broadly and as such, it includes pseudonymous identifiers such as cookie IDs and mobile advertising IDs. Under the CCPA and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws, your request to see the personal information that we have about you may include: (1) specific pieces of personal information that we may have about you; (2) categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you; (5) categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose under the CCPA; and (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your request. We will fulfill requests we are able to verify so long as we are not prohibited from doing so by applicable law and/or the information is not essential for us for billing, fraud prevention or security purposes. We will share our reason(s) for denying your request if we are unable to fulfill your request. Some U.S. states (e.g., Colorado and Virginia) provide you with a right to appeal if we deny your request and enable you to complain to the Attorney General in your state. Please send any appeals to Privacy@winrdata.com.

You may make an access or deletion request via an authorized agent by having such agent follow the process outlined above. Please note that we will request any authorized agent demonstrate that they have been authorized by you to make a request on your behalf, and we will attempt to verify your request. We require your authorized agent to provide us with contact details such as an email address and phone number so that we may ensure a timely response.

Regardless of where you reside in the U.S., you may access certain rights with respect to WINR Data at any time at our U.S. privacy rights webform or calling our toll-free U.S./CA privacy helpline at 1 (888) 369-6450.

You can also opt-out from the sale of your data via the link here: Do Not Sell My Personal Information

11. Canadian Privacy laws

As required under the Protection of Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA"), you have the right to request: a) access to your personal information; b) correction or deletion of your personal information; c) withdrawal of consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information; d) lodgement of a complaint or inquiry. Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec have private-sector privacy laws that may apply instead of PIPEDA.

To respond to your right to access request, Canadian law permits WINR Data to verify your identity. This will require you to supply certain personal information for validation. If you are unable to satisfactorily verify your identity, we will be unable to fulfil your right to access request. In that case, we will endeavour to confirm any personal information we may have about you. We will respond to your privacy rights requests within 30 calendar days of receipt of your request.

Regardless of where you reside in Canada, you may access certain rights with respect to WINR Data at any time at our CA privacy rights webform or calling our toll-free U.S./CA privacy helpline at 1 (888) 369-6450.

12. Brazilian General Data Protection Law

Where this is not possible, we will a) send you a reply to communicate we are not the data processing agent and indicate, where possible, the correct agent; or b) indicate the reasons of fact or law that prevent the immediate adoption of the measure.

You, or your legal representative, can submit a request to exercise your privacy rights at: LGPD privacy rights webform.
