Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the original purpose, or where you have withdrawn consent and there is no overriding legal basis for continued processing. Please note that certain data storage obligations under AML and KYC regulations may prevent us from immediately deleting all records.

You may request that Lucky Friends Casino restrict the data processing of your personal information in specific circumstances — for example, while a dispute about its accuracy is being resolved.
10.5 Right to Data Portability

10.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the data processing of your personal information where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Upon receiving your objection, Lucky Friends Casino will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
10.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent — such as receiving promotional communications — you may withdraw that consent at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing e-mail or by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
To exercise any of these privacy rights, please submit a written request to [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond within 30 days; complex requests may require up to 90 days, in which case we will inform you of the extension.
