Data Retention
Casinostugan retains your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period for different types of personal data varies depending on the purpose of processing and applicable legal obligations.
- Account Data: We retain your account data for the duration of your active account with Casinostugan and for a period thereafter as required by law (e.g., for anti-money laundering regulations, typically 5-7 years after account closure).

International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This includes staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. When we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, Casinostugan ensures a similar degree of protection by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:
- Transferring to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
- Using specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (Standard Contractual Clauses).
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
By using Casinostugan services, you acknowledge and agree to such transfers.
Children's Privacy
Casinostugan services are not for individuals under the legal gambling age (which is 18 years in most jurisdictions, or higher in others). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will immediately delete such information from our records. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us immediately.
