Legal Basis for Processing
RioAce processes your personal data only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. These bases include:
- Performance of a contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (e.g., managing your account, processing bets).
- Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which RioAce is subject (e.g., AML, KYC, age verification, regulatory reporting).
- Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by RioAce or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (e.g., improving our services, preventing fraud, marketing, network security). We always balance our legitimate interests against your rights.
- Consent: You have given explicit consent for processing your personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g., for certain marketing communications). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
RioAce may share your personal data with third parties under specific circumstances:
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processors, IT support, identity verification services, and marketing agencies. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
- Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities: We may disclose your data when required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to cooperate with government and law enforcement officials, including our licensing authority, to prevent fraud, money laundering, or other illegal activities.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.
- Affiliated Companies: We may share data with companies within our corporate group for operational and service delivery purposes.
- Fraud Prevention Agencies: To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share personal data with fraud prevention agencies.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
